Hi all,

On my old laptop I had my doge wallet installed. When I open the wallet i cannot locate the key file anywhere.

So the wallet cannot open any file. Every file produces an error, I must have accidentally deleted the wallet file.

I have my private key and password saved but cannot use it due to the wallet file missing.

I was using the dogecoin core wallet for Windows.

Is there a way I can get to my dogecoins?

Thanks

If you have your private key, your coins are safe.

You can redeem them for example in the CoinOMI Wallet which is available on Windows and Mobile. When you add Dogecoin, you can then swipe your private key.

I tried this and I'm still struggling, failing to recognise my private key. What does the dogecoin private key normally start with? Mine starts with '9LKEM'

There is different between a private key and recovery seed, don't mislead people, you can't import doegcoin private key into coinomi wallet because coinomi wallet only recognise recovery seeds not private keys

Is there another app that can?

I don't think there is any mobile wallet that you can import Dogecoin private key into, you will have to download Dogecoin windows wallet and resync with your private key, though syncing takes lot of time and data consumptions

I want to ask you a question, when you opened the Dogecoin wallet do you have do you have your wallet ID and password? I'm trying to figure out a way, maybe you can get your Dogecoin back or something, the only Dogecoin wallet I know will request for backup file to import your coins back,

Check https://Dogecoin.com

I'm not so certain on how that information you hold can help you recover your dogecoin, but since the only problem is the file which was deleted, maybe you can use a recovery tool to recover your deleted files, I think it's possible, just try to search that tool that could help you, a youtube tutorial might help if you are not so tech savvy.

I don't have a wallet ID but i have 2 things, a password and a key.

From what i understand is that the wallet looks for a file saved on my laptop then i would put in my key. But i cannot locate this file and there's no way for me to enter my priv key either.

Not sure if i'm using it correctly.

i would do this if i knew what file i was looking for.

false. dont spread misinformation

I tried to do what you mentioned but it couldnt recognise my private key,

If you hold a private key, you don't need to worry even if your wallet application has a problem. You can still import them in other wallets, and your assets are safe.

Can you recommend a wallet?

Keep trying using the private key on different dogecoin wallets, you can also try from versions made during the time you created the account,,, It should work for coinomi though. Maybe try the old version of Exodus wallet? They used to support DOGE but that was several years ago. Private keys for doge should work in any decent wallet though,,,

Is my private key a private key, it starts with 9LKEM.

What are the first characters of a private key?

You can actually sweep your private key into Coinomi: https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000013432-what-is-the-difference-between-importing-a-private-key-and-sweeping-a-wallet-

If you need LIVE support feel free to chat to our engineers using the pop up window on the bottom right corner of our website: www.coinomi.com they will point you towards the right direction, thank you.

If in any case, you're still in good fortune since you have the private key of your wallet. You can use a wallet like CoinOMI for one, or those wallets that use private keys, just put that into the site and you should be good to go. Exactly, constant trial and error should do the trick since you have the private keys anyway. It shouldn't lock you out permanently because technically, you have the tool to unlock it.

Maybe, you can find some notes to give you some hints(if there are)? But if there is nothing, I'm afraid you could not recover them anymore.

This will serve you a lesson to learn, you need to have some back-up files, a copy from your important documents to anticipate in a case like this. This what I usually do, I save it to USB, keep it that no one knows, and I'm no longer worried even if my PC or laptop will be corrupted.

i am conversant with doge wallet , i dont really like this window wallet as its easy to lose. mobile app is the best and most preferrable one for me. i hope you can try to restore this wallet and get your coins.

Hi, this wont work as it cannot recognise my private key.

Your keyfile is name wallet.dat if you used doge core wallet.

If you have the private key already exported, you can import it to Multidoge.

You can download Multidoge light wallet from Multidoge.org.

You can also read my blog about what steps are involved if you need to export the private key once you have the password. It is possible inside bitcoin core without syncing full blockchain.

Not sure if this will help similar thing happened to me had 101,000 doge stuck in my wallet dat file from mining in 2014 but my multidoge got corrupted I tried to sync it but it kept getting stuck saying system error while flushing some bs... got referred to some guy who does wallet recovery for lost passwords so emailed them and they took 20% of my doge coins as the fee but I was more than happy to pay because they managed to get in to the wallet in like 12 hours

You can check their website below I spoke to a guy called Adam so try and see if you can get hold of him

Did one of these recommendations work?

Same to me' I have been hold beer token in NEM wallet even i was lot my private key but I have same device. Although i can't access my wallet even i have been contract NEM team but they said me. If you have been lost your private key then you can't access wallet. So without private key need forget token.

There, please be patient because we are searching for data for a while, and we will send later the application data is ok

Are you sure that is really a private key ? The first thing to do is to know the private key format.
There are some formats for private key, the standard one is 256-bit number in HEX and the other one is WIF format.
I think you can take some research on WIF private key format because '9LKEM' might be a WIF format for your private key.

Dogecoin private keys start with a Q so when you say '9LKEM' it's something different unless you omitted the first 'Q' letter in the key.

That depends on what you mean, as long as you still have your private keys you can still retrieve your wallet. Maybe you should try entering your private keys into another wallet to see if you can retrieve your coins or you can try reinstalling the wallet And after installing it you can enter your 12 word recovering Phrase. The most important thing when making use of a cryptocurrency wallet is to back up your wallet using that 12 word recovery phrase. as long as your wallet is backed up using the 12 word recovery phrase, then you are safe. So, I don’t think this is much of a problem.

When Doge price increases that mean when the price is tuch near 1$ all of the site where is stored Dogecoin they have missed their Doge that was having or maybe Doge sites problem but who was active this site they were gainer so I want to give one suggestion for all of who is invest on web site just need to take password reserved and then you should check after some day then account will take save place.

I once had a stuck Multidoge wallet which couldn't synchronize again with the network and I exported the private key.Then I went to the web wallet dogechain.info and when I choose the wallet I clicked existing wallet and imported the private key.It is very easy to do if you really have the correct private key of your Doge wallet no matter what wallet you have it,the format of the private key as far as I know is the same.Link to the wallet below.

to be honest it's hard, because your private key knows you you have full access rights.  I think you have to use many ways.  windows can be the main key to open your wallet.  but i'm not sure about it

If the file(s) were mistakenly deleted, why not check the Recycle bin and restore the file. Then search your computer. Take note of general beginning file name. If the file was deleted from the recycle bin, try this website: https://www.anyrecover.com (I have not had reason to use the site - do your research before you use it). If any body in this forum have used it, please let us know if it works.

You are lucky that you haven’t lost your private key. Actually, even when you lose your laptop, or delete your wallet, you still can recover your assets. Just install it again and import your account. If something is wrong with your laptop you can use another gadget and you will still manage to import your wallet there using your private key (seed phrase).
