Title: 2011 Wallet.dat file (How do I recover coins?) Post by: Oshero on April 08, 2013, 04:02:35 AM I have a wallet.dat file from 2011.
IIRC it has about 2 bitcoins on it. Obviously I want to recover them... But how? The original computer was dismantled, all I have is the hard drive and the wallet.dat file, what do?

Edit: seriously though, load up the Bitcoin-qt client on a computer, go to %appdata% if you're on windows or .bitcoin if you're on linux and you'll see a bitcoin folder. Replace the wallet.dat file there with your previous one and you've recovered your wallet.

Also, I see something funny that happened. Apparently I took this wallet offline before some of the BTC in it was confirmed. So one transaction took place in May 2011, the next transaction took place a few minutes ago from the same address lol I assure you, the transaction took place in May 2011, but because I guess it didn't confirm back then, it just now processed? Wtf lol Title: Re: 2011 Wallet.dat file (How do I recover coins?) Post by: nathangonmad on April 08, 2013, 04:48:36 AM Ha cool! Congratulations on your 400$ :D

Wtf lol I would have said the same thing, if I wasn't too slow. :( Anyway, there are other methods to export a wallet.dat - like Pywallet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.0) If you aren't going to pay him, the address is down there :) Title: Re: 2011 Wallet.dat file (How do I recover coins?)
