Title: Importing an old wallet Post by: kode54 on April 30, 2015, 03:38:56 AM I saw another topic with this name, but thought it would be a better idea to start a new topic for my own problem.
I have an old seed, from one of the original releases, and I've checked that at least a few of the words are in the old words list. Should it take a long time to recover history from such a seed? I assume it could probably take hours, or possibly days. EDIT: I still have an old electrum.dat if that matters.

Just download the 2.1.1 version, recover wallet, enter seed, enjoy... Title: Re: Importing an old wallet Post by: kode54 on May 02, 2015, 01:14:02 AM Ah, it worked instantly this time. The last time I tried it, it sat there reporting "Synchronizing..." for an hour without any progress.

If that doesn't work try a different server. Glad you are all set! Title: Re: Importing an old wallet Post by: ThomasV on May 02, 2015, 06:48:49 AM Ah, it worked instantly this time.

In some cases the synchronization process fails, and it shows 'synchronizing' forever; I will try to fix that in the next release.

You could just have opened the old wallet file using file > open. |
