Title: Re: Lost Bitcoins Post by: medUSA on June 17, 2015, 12:03:41 PM Which bitcoin client did you use? Was it bitcoin-core, electrum, or other wallets? For bitcoin-core, you have to find the "wallet.dat" file usually in "C:\Users\<YourName>\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin" folder.
You need to give more information for others to help you. Title: Re: Lost Bitcoins Post by: Muhammed Zakir on June 17, 2015, 12:35:09 PM Which bitcoin client did you use?

Both of them are different currencies. Please specify which coin you are referring to.

Another way to recover your btc it is to import your private key... if you have backupped it before formatting pc.. if no, your btc are gone... I hope you will be able to recover your btcs...

You can either use a web based NXT wallet or install your own. You type in the password, hit the enter key, and your coins should show up in your wallet. Title: Re: Lost Bitcoins Post by: EvilDave on June 17, 2015, 10:07:23 PM If you have NXT, there is no local wallet file to lose. As long as you still have your password, your NXT are accessible from any NXT client.
Have you still got the NXT account number ? If so, check it out on a block explorer: http://nxtportal.org/monitor/ If you had BTC, well, they're gone unless you can find the wallet.dat file. |
