Title: help -- importing old wallet Post by: leshow on January 06, 2014, 12:27:28 AM i was into bitcoin in 2011 and recently found an old hard drive, i thought i had spent all my old coins... but for interests sake i ran wallet-recover (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25091.0)
and to my surprise found 198 public/private key pairs. i now have those in a wallet.dat. i'm interested to see if i actually have any money in it (kinda hope i do, but for the life of me i cant remember) i don't have bitcoin-qt. is there any other method to import the wallet into something like electrum or multibit?

I don't have personal experience with either of those tools, so I unfortunately can't give you specific instructions, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.
