What does this topic help you check?
Public does not mean unimportant. Bitcoin transactions are visible on a public record, so publishing an address can connect activity to you. A screenshot, conversation or public support post can reveal more than you intended. Never include wallet secrets in a report.
Where could you start?
You need help understanding a payment status. Describe the issue without posting your backup or an account screenshot. Think about whether sharing an address or transaction reference publicly would connect that payment to your identity.
How do the checks fit together?
Which guides can you read now?
- How should you write and store a seed phrase?
Write the words privately in their exact order and keep the backup offline. Protect it from unwanted access and damage while making sure you can retrieve it when needed.
- What should you check before you send?
Check the purpose and recipient, then the asset, network, full address, amount and fee. If anything differs from what you intended, reject the request and resolve it before trying again.
- Why would a website ask for your recovery phrase?
A website asking you to validate, synchronise or claim funds by entering recovery words is asking for spending secrets. Leave it and use independently located recovery documentation.
- What does sharing a Bitcoin address reveal?
A Bitcoin address is a receiving detail, not a spending secret. Sharing it can connect you to public transactions, and reusing it makes activity easier to link.
