Title: How to recover wallet backup without downloading whole block chain Post by: GideonGono on March 15, 2012, 09:12:49 AM Hi,
I have a backup with coins in it that I need but rescanning the block chain is taking ages and is going at snails pace right now. Is there a way (alt client maybe?) to recover these coins without having to wait for the entire block chain? Thanks Title: Re: How to recover wallet backup without downloading whole block chain Post by: ThomasV on March 15, 2012, 09:19:10 AM 1. export all your private keys
