I had a power failure and now my Raven core wallet won't open, it crashes according to the event viewer. I have a substantial amount of RVN's in it. I did a wallet back-up yesterday and have the wallet.dat file.
My question is how to move the wallet to a different computer and recover the RVN's. I have looked but there does not seem to be an explicit step by step instruction on how to do this. can anyone help?
A good time to repost this:
Backup wallet.dat.%appdata%/raven
Copy wallet.dat to a safe place
Always back it up if you create a new receive address and keep old copiesRestore:Install qt wallet
Replace the default %appdata%/raven/wallet.dat with your latest backup copy
Sync wallet.
Backup your private keys (Keepass noted below is a suggestion only - DYOR)
Open Raven Wallet
click on 'help' in the menu bar (top right)
click on 'debug window'
select the 'console' tab
type in commands
*List all your public keys
listaddressgroupings
*Unlock your wallet (number is the timeout in seconds)
walletpassphrase 600
*Present private key for each stated public key.
dumpprivkey
dumpprivkey
dumpprivkey
...etc
Then
Copy into safe place - not a text file on your PC.
Try
https://keepass.info/ or cabled printed to hardcopy - laminated and placed in bomb\flood\dragon proof safe. - Some use safety deposit boxes at banks... ironic Undecided I suppose it gives banks a use in the future.
keep a backup of the keypass somewhere safe offline preferably - then keep that in a safe place - see above line Smiley.
Always create a new backup if you create a new address and keep old copiesNB. You can also attach your wallet.dat into keepass
Import Private KeySelect Help

If you encrypted your wallet,

NB. the private key must not have spaces, remove them if they are included in your backup
