But if I think the situation is a little different;
The computer I use is a 32-bit processor computer and I cannot convert my computer to a 64-bit processor. My qtum wallet on my computer is mainnet-ignition-v0.18.3 (32-bit). After the hard fork update on August 28, 2020, I cannot update my wallet to mainnet-ignition-v0.19.1. I just have the wallet.dat file and password. If I load the mainnet-ignition-v0.19.1 wallet on another 64 bit processor computer, the coins do not come when I say restore wallet. I do not know what path to follow. You mentioned 2) delete the local blockchain and resync the whole thing 3) run the zapwallettxes = 2 command on startup. there is no option to choose boxes.
The boxes that I have
1 Restore File
2 Rebuild blockhain index
3 Recover transactions without metadata
4 Delete the local copy of the block chain. There is no image in the picture that appears called restore wallet you provided in your blog link. I wonder if I am the only one experiencing this trouble.
Sorry I wasn't focused on the 32-bitness of your computer. Bitcoin discontinued 32-bit versions a few updates ago, as did Qtum. There are a few things to try.
For "Restore Wallet" with a version 0.19.1 installed, the full name for the 3rd option is "zapwallettxes=2 recover transactions without metadata" so that is the option to chose (with a v0.19.1 wallet installed on a 64-bit machine and a new blockchain fully synced).
If you are missing images maybe try another browser.
Another approach to recovering the wallet is using the private keys. On your 32-bit older version wallet, find the Console to check the active addresses with the "listaddressgroupings" command. For every address with a balance (may be only one) dump the private key using this command
dumpprivkey "address"
Copy each private key (but be careful because private keys provide unencrypted access to your funds) and use to restore the wallet on Qtum Electrum (runs on 32-bit machines) or the Qtum Web Wallet (
https://qtumeco.io/wallet). On the Web wallet this option is called "Restore from WIF".
When I type my wallet address after I enter the dumpprivkey command in the console Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first. (code -13) error.
