/fix-bitcoin

Fix the highest priority Bitcoin issue.

What This Does

1. Invoke

   /check-bitcoin

   to audit Bitcoin setup
2. Identify highest priority issue
3. Fix that one issue
4. Verify the fix
5. Report what was done

This is a fixer. It fixes one issue at a time. Run again for next issue. Use

/bitcoin

for full lifecycle.

Process

1. Run Primitive

Invoke

/check-bitcoin

skill to get prioritized findings.

2. Fix Priority Order

Fix in this order:

1. P0: Node not synced, wallet not encrypted
2. P1: Missing testnet/mainnet separation
3. P2: UTXO consolidation needed
4. P3: Advanced features

3. Execute Fix

Node not synced (P0): Check sync status:

bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo

If

headers

>

blocks

, wait or restart:

bitcoin-cli stop
bitcoind -daemon

Wallet not encrypted (P0): Encrypt wallet:

bitcoin-cli encryptwallet "strong-passphrase"

Back up:

bitcoin-cli backupwallet /path/to/backup.dat

Missing testnet/mainnet separation (P1): Split configs:

# bitcoin.conf
mainnet=1

[test]
testnet=1
walletdir=/var/lib/bitcoin/testnet-wallets

Use explicit network flags in tooling:

bitcoin-cli -testnet getblockchaininfo

UTXO consolidation needed (P2): List small UTXOs:

bitcoin-cli listunspent 1 9999999

Create consolidation tx:

bitcoin-cli createrawtransaction '[{"txid":"...","vout":0}]' '{"bc1q...":0.999}'

Sign and send:

bitcoin-cli signrawtransactionwithwallet <hex>
bitcoin-cli sendrawtransaction <hex>

4. Verify

After fix:

bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo
bitcoin-cli getwalletinfo

5. Report

Fixed: [P0] Wallet not encrypted

Updated: bitcoin.conf
- Added wallet encryption requirement
- Added backup path

Verified: bitcoin-cli getwalletinfo → encrypted

Next highest priority: [P0] Node not synced
Run /fix-bitcoin again to continue.

Branching

Before making changes:

git checkout -b fix/bitcoin-$(date +%Y%m%d)

Single-Issue Focus

Bitcoin ops are high risk. Fix one thing at a time:

• Test each change thoroughly
• Easy to roll back specific fixes
• Clear audit trail for keys and funds

Run

/fix-bitcoin

repeatedly to work through the backlog.
