Hello, recently I was given my dads DMD wallet.dat. I see the steps on how to import to V3 but I don't have V2 chain on any computer. My question is were all his confirmations/weight/intrest reset in the V3 transition or was that taken into account and credited in the new chain?
Is there a bootstrap.dat available for V2 chain just before the transition so I can export private keys from the wallet.dat?
Thank you,
Anything that happened on the V2 chain after the snapshot was taken was reset for V3. You shouldn't really need the V2 chain if you have the V2 wallet.dat, you can export the private keys without being synced on the chain.
Put another way, it won't make any difference if you export the privkey with or without a V2 chain in the background.
This is true, but if someone for what purposes a need an old chain, no problem with that.
