Title: Sent Bitcoins i can't receive
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on May 10, 2016, 03:37:18 PM
Hello everyone, i have quite a problem, i sent bitoins from an online wallet to Bitcore but the thing is that my bitcore isn't setup and i can't set it up since i need to clear more than 80GB of space. So my bitcoins desapread from my online wallet but i can't receive them on Bitcore.
I would apriciate it very much if someone found a solution

Enable pruning. Go to the data directory (see https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory for the default locations) and create a bitcoin.conf file. In the file, have a line with
Code:
prune=550
This will prune the blockchain and make the size or takes about 2Gb.

If you have already the only software install to your device not only the whole block network.. just try to back your wallet.. and install it in blockchain..
I hope it helps..
Or this one may help http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/36443/can-i-import-my-wallet-from-my-bitcoin-core-for-electrum

You can try to import the wallet and transfer it to another wallet like electrum or blockchain.. just need to get the private key and import it in other wallet..

As I said, go to the data directory. The link I gave you will tell you where it is for your operating system. In that first, create a text file. In that file, put the line that I gave you above. Save the file in the data directory. In a file explorer, rename the file you saved to bitcoin.conf. Then start bitcoin core and it will be pruned.

Might wana make sure they are using bitcoin core, because in the first post OP said "bitcore"[1] which is not the same.

I always assume Bitcoin Core when they are talking about wallets and have something along the lines of "core", "bitcore", etc because AFAIK Bitpay's Bitcore is not actually a wallet. It is just a full node implementation.

Fair enough.
