Re: Which wallet to use for 2018 coins

Well the wallet let me send them, but the transaction hasn't gone through. I was trying to send them to hitBTC, any ideas?

You should not try to send them using the old wallet. It will not work. Try to do what uralcryptocoin suggested:

You can run the old wallet and back up your private keys (you do not need to sync it just backup private keys) and try to import them to the new one

Will it work even though I've now sent them, or are they lost? is backing up private keys the same as backing up wallet.dat?

Hello,

No!! They are different but can be used to do the same thing. Having a copy of your wallet.dat can just be inserted into the appropriate %APPDATA% folder and used to load the wallets. However, the privkey is stronger, in my opinion, since it is a key that will recreate the wallet. The privkey is a code that can be printed and needs to be done for each address in the wallet.

Hope this helps.
