thinking about creating a new wallet at block 3 million (monero.town)

I am considering generating a new wallet at block 3 million and transfering funds over to it to keep my sync time down. My current wallet has to check ~250k blocks if a resync is needed.

No need for that. Sending your entire balance to your own wallet effectively resets the sync height. I did it for all my wallets after the last hardfork.

Ah, okay. So just take all funds and send them back to myself to have a single output and then reset my sync height right?

Exactly, you then scan from 1 block before you received the coins back :)

Cool, thanks.

Do hard forks create alternate chains with coins that can be sold?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, but nobody uses the alternate chains and the coins become effectively worthless.
