Title: Where do I find Private keys? Post by: Rkawash on April 20, 2014, 02:29:47 PM So I reformatted my laptop with my wallet on it, I was able to recover the wallet with software. I have re-installed multibit. I want to import the old private keys into the newly installed multibit, bit I can't seem to find the private keys. Where are they located exactly?
Title: Re: Where do I find Private keys? Post by: Coiner.de on April 21, 2014, 03:11:48 PM Why don't you just use
File -> Open Wallet with your recovered MultiBit wallet file? Use Tools -> Export Private Keys to make a backup of your private keys then. Title: Re: Where do I find Private keys? Post by: R2D221 on April 23, 2014, 02:05:48 PM If you could open the wallet as Coiner.de suggested, then that's all you need. You shouldn't need to export the private keys unless you're going to use different wallet software (e.g. Bitcoin core, Armory, Blockchain, etc).
Title: Re: Where do I find Private keys? Post by: Rkawash on April 28, 2014, 05:38:00 PM I tried the open wallet thing. So when I open multi bit, I have .25 bitcoins displayed, I want to add the recovered coins to that amount. When I did the open wallet, and went to the destination i saved the recovered one on, it loads it but seems like a duplicated of the .25 one. I'm not really sure how many i had on the recovered one, i think like .19 or something, but I'm trying to add that to the .25 I already have
Title: Re: Where do I find Private keys? Post by: Coiner.de on April 29, 2014, 06:26:26 AM If you use
File -> Open Wallet to open the recovered wallet, you should have at least two wallets in MultiBit. You change the current wallet by selecting one in the list. On the request tab you see the addresses in that wallet. You can compare and see if they are different or not. You can check the balance on that addresses with blockchain.info or blockr.io. To copy the private keys just use Tools -> Export Private Keys with your recovered wallet selected. And use Tools -> Import Private Keys with your current default wallet selected then. Use Tools -> Export Private Keys with your current default wallet then to create an up-to-date backup of that wallet. You may have to use Tools -> Reset Blockchain and Transactions to get the correct balance for your current default wallet. Title: Re: Where do I find Private keys?
