Well..I dont think this bit of Private Keys is "advertised" as much it should be.

I kept QR scans of my addresses but didnt know that i needed Private Keys too..
I even encrypted my Litecoin Wallet with password and luckily i remembered it to unlock it ..Hate to think what would happen if i forgot it.

So,right now i have wallets on PC and MAC too (for both LTC and BTC)..it is like i can have like 100's different wallets with the same Bitcoin for example if i insert the same Private Key ..
Is that right?

Well..i fell like i rescued those coins(apart from those 0.45 BTC i just cant remember sending)..from now on will spend some time learning more about it:-)

all done...managed to unlock it using help of Google

Thank you all!!

Specially to Neurotic Fish..it is nice knowing there are ppl who are willing to help novices
:-)

Thanks..

First i did manage to transfer 1.8 BTC to Electrum Wallet..it was straight forward..i just followed your steps and entered private keys..
Originally was thinking it would ask for address too,but only keys were required

Just checked my LTC Wallet as you suggested
It does have Locked Icon on Bottom Right saying in pop up window it is encrypted and currently locked..

God knows whats is the password..will need to guess it..

That could be the reason why is "not working"?

Did also back up.dat and Whole Folder of Litecoin to external hard drive..

JUST CHECKED IT


it looks like i encrypted private keys to my wallet-that is message i get ..
Can i undo that??

I will PM you the pic...I really dont know what i was thinking when i was buying Bitcoins and Litecoins ...i should have learn more before purchase

Can i just get new wallet ..and hope it would unlock itself

Thank you again..if In london i would like to buy you are drink:-)

Dear Neurotic Fish

Thanks for your help...i am not sure what is going on .
I was trying to get Private Key for my Litecoin Address and wanted to move it from my PC LITECOIN WALLET to MAC LITECOIN WALLET but was not successful

When i wanted to get Private Key for my Litecoin Address I was getting the message that Private Key ..................................... is not know (code -4) whatever that means.

When i checked On Blockchain my balance it does say 87 what is correct amount.
I did try to send 2 transactions last week of 0.50 and 0.10 just to see would it work -it did not

Now i am really worried... i have tried to google it but could not find anything to do with this code -4.
Can it be because my Wallet is old? and i received  the message that "Alert Key Compromised, upgrade required"??


I will send you picture PM ..if you have time would be grateful if you can have a look.

Thank you so much..hopefully there is a solution for this

All the best
Alen

NeuroticFish  Thank you very much for your answer.

I really appropriate you taking time to answer it..
Was reading your post and did manage to get private keys for 2 addresses i have.( One have 1 BTC another 0.8 BTC)

Right now my BTC Wallet is again "Synchronizing with network" saying 4 weeks behind 
I assume it takes this long because my PC is 7 years old although i do have very fast internet.

Is it wise to wait Synchronizing to finish before exporting BTC to Electrum.?
Or i can do it straight away.

Also i am not able to add BTC address 13hnDCz14BiwsFina1h17AgP8KQonJQh8 to the wallet,probably because is still Synchronizing too.

It is like it takes 1 day approx for 1 week..
That is the address where according to Blockchain i sent 0.45 BTC .

Well i guess i didn't open my wallets for like 4 years few days up or down does not make difference.


But i am thinking to transfer LTC to my wallet on MAC .I did download the same wallet called Litecoin QT but now i learnt on Youtube there is also one Electum for Litecoin?

Maybe is easier if i use same platform for both.(for Litecoin i only have one address)

Thank you for help again..

Hello

Thanks for trying to help...sorry could not answer before..Had some job interview earlier today..

Anyway transaction was

ac8c20bf39db2987d4ad1fd4055b99c2fbbba298ddca2197b3e0a1cc688c7232

I have checked my Bitcoin Wallet (it was updated although right now is saying 5 weeks behind again)..and those transaction..apart from that 1 the rest all are visible and correct

I really tried to remember if i really send that 0.45 BTC but just cant remember sending it..

What can it be?

In any case..even LTC instead of having like 87 i have like 84..

Also for Neurotic Fish...how do i get those Private Keys you were mentioned...

Thanks for help..and again sorry if questions are too basic

Hi
Thanks for your information.

I have just spend like 45 minutes trying to figure out Blockchain.

I have 2 Bitcoin addresses

originally when i inserted both of them nothing came out(it kind of encrypted them)
but when i inserted transaction id it found it (i double clicked on my address)

the only thing  is that there are 2 transaction when i send someone 0.05 BTC that matches my wallet transaction
but also there is another transaction where i sent 0.45 BTC that i don't remember sending it and there is no record of that in my wallet

so instead of having balance  2.25 bitcoin as my wallet suggest on Blockchain i have 1.8 BTC

Is it possible to track that 0.45 transaction since next to address that apparently i have send it is written(Unspent)
It does not make sense...

You were right when you were saying what is in the wallet does not necesarily match what is on Blockchain..not sure why.
It is bit stressful not knowing what happened ..i didnt even check litecoin yet:-)

Thanks for answering..really appreciate it..
Basically i just done back up for both Bitcoin and Litecoin and have 2 files called wallet.dat (files i uploaded to usb stick )

If i understand this right if i download new version of Litecoin and Bitcoin i can just replace existing wallet.dat with the previous ones.(kind of over ride them)

The only thing i cant get figure out how to do that on Mac ..since i dont have folders like on Windows platforms.

I have downloaded Electrum Bitcoin Wallet and Litecoin-QT but not sure how to upload  those wallet.dat files ...


Was watching this video on YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGXf2xFyWaE

and it looked straight forward on Windows..hopefully should be easy on Mac too..

Thanks for answers.
Unfortunately i am kind of beginner in this so would appricaite if you can give me some guides

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4o91w6wapk9zdxs/btc_ltc.jpg?dl=0

I have just taken some pics..you might be able to help

How do i back up the wallets..and if i download newer version will this override current ones ..like is there i chance i can delate Litecoins or Bitccoins that way..

Sorry if questions are not smart:-)

 

Dear All

Hopefully someone here will be able to help me.
I have purchased some Bitcoins (2.25)and Litecoins (87) in 2013.

I kind of forgot about them and only recently i have  synchronized both wallets with network.
It was like 87 weeks behind to be precise.

In any case recently i have opened account with Coinbase.
Also i have installed Litecoin wallet on MAC

Yesterday i have send 0.50 litecoin to address to my Mac Litecoin address but nothing arrived
Also i have send 0.10 to Coinbase ...northing arrived as well



Now i am bit worried and wonder if someone can help me here.

I would like to move,if possible my BTC and LTC from PC to Mac (wallets)
Is there a way to do that...and what happened to those 2 transactions..

Is there something i am missing here...like those 2 wallets might be old..i am kind of scared that this is kind of stacked on my old PC and cant move them...is there a way around??

Would appreciate any help and advice

Thanks!

Hello there

First time here...need little help

I was new to bitcoin..thought it is cool to have some just in case..and bought some and litecoins

Now...I have 2.25 bitcoin in my wallet that i haven't checked read opened for like over 2 years...119 weeks to be precise
I get the message this is outdated ,no more alerts and to download new one...something like that

Right now it is like syhroniszing and i am like 68 weeks behind..at this rate it is gonna take like till the end of months maybe more to be "up to date"

Anyways..few questions..

Do i have to wait till it finishes to transfer bitcoins to my wallet on smartphone.
If i update..is there a chance bitcoin will be delated  somehow

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks!
