Re: Linux Wallet.dat files compatibility problem with Mac?

Hi all,

I'm having problems getting Mac Qt clients to acknowledge wallet.dat files created in live Linux usb environments. I've tried moving the wallet.dat file over directly from the ~/.bitcoin/ subdirectory onto a usb drive and from there I've rebooted into OSX and replaced the existing wallet.dat file... no luck.

Is this only me? What am I missing?

Have you verified that the file is owned by the correct user?  e.g. do you use the same user name to log into both systems?

No I don't. The Linux environment is live and so every time I boot from the USB it's a new OS
