If so, you can restore it by remembering to back up the current version.
Title: Re: wallet.dat brutforced correct pw but still qt wallet says its wrong Post by: BitMaxz on May 30, 2019, 10:25:14 PM Did you try checking if you correctly put the right path where the wallet.dat save? Maybe you put a different wallet.dat
You can mostly find the wallet.dat in this path C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin in Windows OS Check if there is duplicated wallet.dat. Also, try to copy the wallet.dat and import it to another/new PC with Bitcoin-qt and let's see if it will work or not. Because if it works possible your old PC where your wallet installed is HDD corrupted or the wallet.dat is corrupted as mention above. Edit: Just want to add this someone already solve this issue by installing the lower wallet version. What version did you create your wallet? Check this link https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/14461 Title: Re: wallet.dat brutforced correct pw but still qt wallet says its wrong Post by: Gtx1070rig on May 31, 2019, 03:34:28 AM Maybe your wallet.dat file is corrupted, you do not have an older version of it?

(all other alt wallets in this roaming folder works fine) So it seems wallet.dat is corrupted and i lost my coins because also on other pc i have the same problem... Also tried older versions and still the same...

And when I said earlier versions, I meant other versions of the wallet.dat file and not the Software. If you get the same error with different files, the problem should not be in the files ...

You need to specify the --otherversion=OTHERVERSION commandline option so that Pywallet knows which coin you're using... It's been a while, but I believe that OTHERVERSION is based on the prefix for the address... you can see the list here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixeswhat options i need to use... command line? I guess for GINcoin you'd need to use 38 (== G) |
