Hi,
I have a question, I recently found an old Hyperstake wallet from either 2014 or 2015. Is it possible for me to recover the coins that are in that wallet? I tried to install the new wallet ( from the website ) and see if I could open and retrieve the coins, but as you can imagine, that failed. Haha it is really from a long time ago, I have no idea if and how much HYP I have in that wallet. Anyway, I really hope someone can help me or tell me if and how I can retrieve those coins.
Greetings!
Try the following
1. Make sure you have a backup of your wallet.dat
2. Make new wallet, delete everything and Download the full blockchain
3. Shut the wallet down and drop the old wallet.dat in the appdata/roaming/hyperstake directory. (if you don't know where this is: right-click on windows "Start" > "run" and type in "%appdata%" and hit enter.
4. Fire up the wallet with the latest version and let it catch up.
If the above doesn't work you can try the following. Make sure the wallet is shutdown first.
5. From within the wallet executable program folder, press "shift"+right mouse click and select the command line console.
6. run the following command: whatever-your-walletprogram-file-name-is-called -rescan. Like so: hyperstake -rescan
7. If rescan doesn't work try -reindex
8. If you still don't see anything you can issue a "repairwallet" command in the wallet console.
9. As a last resort try step 5 with the salvagewallet command
