Title: Ethereum Wallet Help
Post by: KarmaUK on January 03, 2018, 07:19:55 PM
Hi,

I have some Ethereum stored in the official Ethereum desktop wallet, but I can't get it to download the chain.

I've tried doing this on 3 computers now, I've left them for days but it never completes. I've read through the support tickets, have tried numerous solutions (like deleting the chain and starting again!) but nothing works.

I've had enough of this wallet, it's simply broken (and it seems this way for many many others).

Is there another way to access (import) my existing wallet using another desktop app?

Thanks

Importing to single wallet would be perfect option for the amount you holded in the wallet. So keep saving and earning to the same wallet would be not perfect way to have anymore.
Keep safe the ethereum on the private key secured wallet is enough to be secured.
If you want to import the ethereum, you please follow the below github link.

You could try

https://www.myetherwallet.com/

They are supporting Mist  + other wallets:

 Metamask / Mist  
 Ledger Wallet  
 TREZOR  
 Digital Bitbox  
 Keystore / JSON File  
 Mnemonic Phrase  
 Private Key  

Just be careful of phishing sites.

He is having the wallet fail but can't download the chain locally.
He can import his Mist wallet at myetherwallet.com...
Nobody is talking about creating a new wallet..
