Title: Recovering Multibit Wallet
Post by: Punktonic on December 13, 2015, 06:09:15 PM
Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me with this.  I've been using Multibit Classic for a long time.  A few days ago I had a transaction not go through because it was seen by only 1 peer.  

So I reset the blockchain.  But it hasn't worked and it hasn't recovered any transactions, and it says it's synchronized.  But only one transaction from yesterday shows up and most of my balance isn't there.


So I'm wondering if that's normal and I just have to wait however long it takes the client to do the whole blockchain, or if there's another client that can import Multibit wallets.

I think you can use lighthouse, AFAIK it is compatible with Multibit.

@GoldTiger69 Lighthouse is great for recovering MultiBit HD wallet words / seed phrases. But for MultiBit Classic the OP wants to read:
