<p>Some time ago, I set up a Bitcoin core wallet and sent funds to that wallet a few times thinking they'll be safely stored. Well, they are, and probably too safely.

What is your reason for creating Partially SIgned Bitcoin Transactions (PSBT) - for example, do you have a hardware wallet or some kind of airgapped cold wallet?

PSBT is the only option I have with this wallet. I have no idea what I chose when I created it but it was created with Bitcoin core so, it was not imported and also the wallet generates addresses so I assumed it's all good until I recently tried to move sats. Whoopsy :)

I don't have the hardware wallet but I'm building one. Still waiting for some parts. I was searching if an old Android phone can act as a air gaped wallet and there is an option with a blue wallet as Ben showed https://youtu.be/f-8elm8xCLs I tried that too but got confused with which device is my Bitcoin core wallet in his case.

It would be nice feedback if someone could tell if the HW is necessary in my case to retrieve the sats. My mission to build myself a DIY Jade has been aborted due to a lack of experience and knowledge with espressif and I really don't want to throw sats for an electronic HW wallet just to find out later it was not needed for my retrieval mission. thank you
