Hello, I started a wholly fresh Umbrel instance (new SD card and new external drive) in an attempt to verify a full recovery of the working node…which had some funds in the BTC Wallet. I started with a fresh Umbrel 4.18 build, and empty hd, started the Recovery procedure, inserted my 24 secret words, and then let it fully synchronize for a week. It finished this morning, but apparently the funds aren’t found - this is not a problem, since i have them on BlueWallet anyway, so this is another test. On the newly started node, I went to check what 24 words i had inserted upon recovery, and i noticed that i got one word in wrong: instead of “concert” I apparently inserted “concern” (which isn’t even a BIP-39 word). My questions are: 1. since concert and concern have the same 4 initial letters…shouldn’t my mistake be irrelevant ? 2. is there a way to “erase” the 24 secret words and re-enter them once again, without scratching the node again, and having to wait for another week for the synch ? Supposedly the wallet should be created at any time… Thanks for nay hint, and also, if somewhere there is a procedure for doing 2), which i haven’t found.
