Thanks everyone, I managed to get my 3 BTC back 

For future reference, all I did was install MultiBit on a seperate PC, copy/paste the backed-up multibit.wallet file over the new one created by the new MultiBit installation. I then hit the "Reset the Blockchain" button and within minutes the wallet was up to date and I had access to my 3 BTC again

Hello all

I recently sent 3 BTC to my MultiBit wallet. I figured I'd change the password since I didn't change it in three months so I went ahead and did it, but after I tried to re-enter the password after opening it, it was wrong. I somehow managed to type the wrong password twice, identically and now I can't seem to remember what is was.

Before you guys have a go at me for how stupid I was to do that (it was really stupid), I checked my MultiBit folder and I found some possible backups in the "multibit-data" folder. Here's a screenshot

These backups must've been done around two months ago, meaning I had my old password then. If I simply copy the multibit.wallet file over my current one would it work? Or if I have access to the private key backups could I just import them into a new client and bypass the whole password process?

Any and all help is appreciated

Am I the only person experiencing this problem. I haven't received my coins yet, nor have I been disqualified from the distribution.

Is the Qora IPO over?

Bru, I heard about this on overclock.net, that's the only reason I'm here.

Damn heard about Edgecoin today, feel sorry for those guys

Just thinking the same thing. nextgen what you just said is the fact that developer is doing good things like providing escrow that makes him bad??

Howsit guys

I've got around 3 BTC lying around. I'm wondering which of these IPO coins to invest in.

Qora : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=522102.0
Numus : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=543503.0 & http://numus.org

Qora has a BETA of their wallet, but it's very simple and I can't seem to get it to run on my VM (I'm thinking about waiting for hit to release first before deciding wheter I should invest or not). Numus, I've already invested 0.2 BTC but I wonder whether I should put anymore into it. Numus seems like a much better choice to me because of their marketing and they seem very professional unlike Qora. Qora reminds me a bit of NXT though.  Both offer escrow.

Also how is the return like on IPO's? Are there any people who invested large amounts into Heavycoin, Reddcoin or exoCoin (successful IPO's from what I've read) and received a large ROI?

Wasn't it someone else who created Peercoin?

Carl Himrusnich is most likely a psuedonym of some sorts like Satoshi or Sunny King coz they said they want to be anonymous.

PM sent!

Do you even pink sock?vBut on a serious note I think Numus means currency in some language.

EDIT : Numus means currency in Latin

The only real difference I see about NEM is their web-based client which seems to be built on top of a Bootstrap theme. I don't know too much about NEM, but what else do you think makes NEM different to say NXT?

I'm not sure what causes it's decreasing profitability? The article seems very vague.

But how could you leave out Lesbiancoin?

Whitepaper bud, you forgot to read their whitepaper : http://numus.org/whitepaper.pdf

Numus easily.

1) They have a whitepaper
2) Excellent marketing and design team. (I heard about Numus through a tech site called overclock.net so their marketing must be doing something right)
3) They have a practical and logical approach to gaining public adoption. (See their whitepaper)

Great!
