Title: I think I just lost 1,440 LTC Post by: mufa23 on November 16, 2012, 10:33:13 PM So I reset my PC, and scrubbed my harddrives. I forgot to backup my Litecoin wallet. They're forever gone right... ? :'(
There isn't a magical technique that LTC can do, that BTC can't, to bring back my coins is there? Title: Re: I think I just lost 1,440 LTC Post by: Benson Samuel on November 16, 2012, 10:35:00 PM ouch
Title: Re: I think I just lost 1,440 LTC Post by: Akka on November 16, 2012, 10:35:31 PM If you have made a quick format and not a new partition it might still be there, use a recovery tool.
And don't install anything before you do so. If the free space gets overwritten, its gone for good. http://www.piriform.com/recuva Don't save or install it on the hard drive where the wallet was. Title: Re: I think I just lost 1,440 LTC Post by: mufa23 on November 16, 2012, 10:41:57 PM Nope. I CCleaner'd all of my harddrives, then reinstalled Windows. This sucks.
I have my Bitcoin wallet backed up on floppies, CDs, SD cards, and paper. For some stupid reason I don't think I ever backed up the Litecoin wallet anywhere. Title: Re: I think I just lost 1,440 LTC Post by: Akka on November 16, 2012, 10:43:53 PM OK, than it's scrubbed clean. What are this right now ~5BTC?. Well that really sucks.

Title: Re: I think I just lost 1,440 LTC Post by: mufa23 on November 16, 2012, 11:14:28 PM Well it could have been worse. I could have destroyed my other LTC wallets. Thankfully I only lost my hot wallet.
Make sure you guys double check that you backed everything up. Don't end up like me. Title: Re: I think I just lost 1,440 LTC Post by: FuzzyBear on November 17, 2012, 01:43:33 AM ouch but yes at least it only ur hot wallet... but let this be a reminder to everyone to backup their wallet.dat files!! for ALL your crypto-currencies.... i may be running an old version of wallets... but i found i can't encrypt my LTC wallet, or IOC or IX wallets?? this an area for development in the wallet? or i just need to update?
