Title: Help in retrieving btc Post by: bitcoinTrader on May 07, 2012, 10:20:17 AM Hi,
I have btc stored on my mac laptop, but it has crashed. I am going to get the HDD converted to external disk and connect to my windows laptop. I will install the bitcoin client on windows. Do I need to just replace the wallet.dat file from the mac retrieved data? The bitcoin client installed on mac was 0.3.x Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Title: Re: Help in retrieving btc Post by: Raoul Duke on May 07, 2012, 10:35:56 AM Replace the wallet.dat and run your client with the -rescan flag so it retrieves all of your wallet's transactions from the blockchain. That's all you need.

Can you provide the exact command to execute from command line? Title: Re: Help in retrieving btc Post by: Pieter Wuille on May 07, 2012, 07:42:57 PM Which OS? What was the exact version you were using before (before or after 0.3.21)?
