Title: (DASH) View private/public key in wallet.dat Post by: helloeverybody on December 07, 2015, 05:28:20 PM Hi ,
So i formatted my pc a while ago and still have what i think is my dash wallet.dat but when i try and install the wallet it wont download the blockchain (gets stuck at 13 weeks behind). Is there any way to pull my private and public keys from the wallet.dat? That way i can at least check that it has balance and then maybe import it into a different wallet. Thanks in advance.

I honestly have no idea. I cant even remember what exchange i bought them from, And all i have on my computer is a wallet.dat which im assuming is my dash coins. the problem i have is i cant do anything with the wallet.dat because the dash client just satys at 13 weeks so it doesnt tell me if ive got any coins in it, any addresses or anything.

For example : C:\Dash\dash-qt.exe -reindex (and delete peers.dat before the reindex) Or use a bootstrap ? https://github.com/UdjinM6/dash-bootstrap Title: Re: (DASH) View private/public key in wallet.dat Post by: noobtrader on December 07, 2015, 06:02:58 PM Code: 17:46:54 What address is it actually asking for there? sorry your dealing with an idiot here =p do you remember your address at all ? can you check address at the receive ? or if you have sent to exchange etc ?

Title: Re: (DASH) View private/public key in wallet.dat Post by: qwizzie on December 07, 2015, 06:06:38 PM i would try the bootstrap : https://github.com/UdjinM6/dash-bootstrap in combination with a -reindex
to get you past those 13 weeks and also i would check for other backups.. or is that the only wallet.dat you came across ? No Dash backups on other USB sticks ? or other hard disks ? (Dash has an automatic backup system in the data directory, folder is named "backups") Title: Re: (DASH) View private/public key in wallet.dat Post by: DaveyJones on December 07, 2015, 10:29:54 PM Maybe it is empty because it belongs to another coin? Thats the reason why i renamed all my wallet.dats when i backed them up

Thats the reason why i renamed all my wallet.dats when i backed them up Yeah I finally got everything working but turns out that wallet. Dat was either empty or from another coin. My backup could be anywhere in that case. |
