Title: Coins not showing up in my wallet (using MultiBit)
Post by: yetisalmon on December 10, 2013, 03:05:22 AM
Hi,
I had mined using Deepbit as my pool a couple years ago and forgot.  I just recently logged on to transfer my coins to my wallet (which i am using MultiBit)  I made this transfer nearly 4 days ago and am still not seeing any coins in my wallet.  Am I missing something that is completely obvious??  Here is the record from Blockexplorer....

Thanks!

In theory it is quite simple, if you have the private key that unencrypts what ever is encrypted using 1K83foH3zcUnm1gpLXVKYda4r1vSwE1VXh, then you own those bitcoins.. the thing is doing this test can be a relatively difficult task...(technically speaking). You could try encrypting some words... and trying to unencrypt using the private key... maybe someone with a better technical background can help!?
