Hello everyone. Just looking for some help. I installed the new version of Devcoin 1.0.16 (ok, not so new but the only current one). I had a "wallet.dat" from the older 2014 version. How do I use this "wallet.dat" with this new app? Is that even possible?
After opening the app, it finished synchronizing with the network but shows nothing in history, all blank. Just wanted to know if I can see some of my old transactions.
Thanks!
Try a wallet repair if the function exists with the client.
If you put a valid wallet.dat into the executables folder %appdata%>roaming>Devcoin there is no reason for it not to show your balance once it is on the correct and fully synced chain.Make sure your wallet.dat does not have any additional tags/names after the file name such as wallet.dat.devcoin or devcoin.wallet.dat
Name of wallet file can ONLY be wallet.dat
Not sure if devcoin allows importpriv key comand in the console but if you have your private key you could import it into your new wallet.To get private key for any address simply open the console and enter the dumpprivkey input.Just type: dumpprivkey[your wallet address] .
Another option is rescan/reindex or even zapwallettxes but ensure you back up your wallet.dat file before it because it will delete everything from your wallet, then rescan the blockchain from block 0 for every transaction that matches your wallet addresses.This is mainly used for tx's that haven't confirmed.
