Title: Lost some bitcoins in Bitcoin Wallet, please help :) Post by: smkeddy on May 17, 2017, 12:54:12 PM I backed up my wallet with an encrypted file back in 2013. I tried to restore it now on a new phone with that file I had saved in an email. I remember my password, but after "synchornizing with the network" for a few hours, it still says I have zero balance. I had about 0.75 BTC in there. Any ideas?? ??? ???
