Title: Retrieving backed up keys Post by: charlieboy747 on September 25, 2016, 03:28:21 PM Hi, I am not able to get into my original blockchain wallet, but backed up my coins when I set it up and have the keys offline in json format. My problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to import them into the new wallet I just set up as the import feature seems to have been disabled from the blockchain wallet. Can I still retrieve my keys another way from the json files I have? It doesn't neccessarily have to be a blockchain wallet.
Many thanks in advance. :) Title: Re: Retrieving backed up keys Post by: beerlover on September 25, 2016, 07:20:59 PM Please try again by following this guidelines : https://blog.blockchain.com/2014/06/18/tutorial-the-import-export-feature-in-your-blockchain-wallet
I have also faced similar problem, but could not recall how I solved that. Just try with all possible options. Did you try with old version of blockchain.info or latest version ? If possible, share a screenshot with hiding sensitive info. Title: Re: Retrieving backed up keys Post by: pooya87 on September 26, 2016, 05:16:33 AM it depends on your JSON file that you have exported before. what format is it in?
there are many formats such as Base58, Bitcoin-QT (Bitcore), Base64, Hex, or with no conversion and also on top of that there is encryption which is done by your password using AES if it has no encryption you can open the JSON file with a text editor and see the keys yourself and then import those keys in any wallet that you like but if it is encrypted you should open it with the password. which if i am not mistaken you can use MultiBit for that since i remember it was the suggested wallet back when i was using BC.I Title: Re: Retrieving backed up keys Post by: charlieboy747 on September 27, 2016, 04:39:30 AM Thanks very much guys.
