Title: Re: MultiBit crash & lost wallet (Mac) Post by: eyci on March 27, 2013, 04:52:27 AM I'm cross-posting from the newbie forum, please help this guy if you can.
I'd like to post this to a more appropriate forum, but I just made this account so here goes. I started using MultiBit earlier this week and absolutely loved it. I had moved my 12 BTC (all the BTC that I ... had) from Coinbase to Multibit. I had the client open today, noticed my Mac was getting really hot, noticed the application was frozen, had to force quit it, reopened, and my wallet is completely gone. I'm running a file recovery application and am crossing my fingers, but losing that much money makes me feel sick. It shouldn't be this easy to lose a wallet. Obviously, I should have made a backup of the file, granted. But, losing it from the program crashing and not because of any negligence on my partis a bit worrisome. Anyone else have this happen? Any suggestions? Title: Re: MultiBit crash & lost wallet (Mac) Post by: da2ce7 on March 27, 2013, 05:05:10 AM what version of mutibit do you have, the wallet is stored in standard places. So you should be able to find it still.
If you find you wallet, you should be able to recover it with https://blockchain.info/wallet/ Title: Re: MultiBit crash & lost wallet (Mac) Post by: jim618 on March 27, 2013, 07:38:11 AM He also mailed me directly so I just replied by email.
Title: Re: MultiBit crash & lost wallet (Mac) Post by: javmarfer on April 01, 2013, 11:34:54 AM I have the same problem. When I try to close the program once synchronized, multibit
crashes and when I open again my wallet is outdated and I can not sync. The same thing happens when I restore chain blocks and imported the keys. Title: Re: MultiBit crash & lost wallet (Mac) Post by: jim618 on April 01, 2013, 11:45:02 AM Hi javmarfer,
If you are not on the latest code (v0.4.23) can you please download that from the multibit.org website and try that. If you are, please zip up the log files (in <your user dir>/Library/Application Support/ MultiBit/log) and email them to me and I will have a look. My email is on http://multibit.org/team.html In the meantime please take a copy of any ".wallet" files you have in the <your user dir>/Library/Application Support/ MultiBit directory just as a precaution. Cheers Title: Re: MultiBit crash & lost wallet (Mac) Post by: javmarfer on April 15, 2013, 03:37:52 PM Sorry, but I am unable to find the email in the website :-\
