Hi!
I have just recently joined up to whole Bitcoin community and I got some questions it would be nice if someone could help me / clarify few things to me.
1. 0 active connections to Bitcoin Network in wallet Bitcoin Core version v0.9.1.0-g026a939-beta (32-bit)
A)The first time I had this problem was with v0.9.0 I somehow managed to reinstall Bitcoin Core wallet = I ended up losing little sum of bitcoins that I had and had to wait again for that long sync, so I guess I installed a new wallet on my computer, is that possible and does anyone know how I can retrieve my coins?
B)The second time I had this problem with current version this helped:
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/12265/0-connections-now-but-i-had-been-using-bitcoin-qt-for-a-while-without-problemsNow I have the same problem, and the solution from above doesn't work, wallet won't sync as it has 0 connections, I am 5 days behind
2. How to use back-up files
So, when I go to File --> Backup Wallet --> I create a new .dat file, after I do it it gets a 'locker' and fades, I can see the file as I am doing backup and all backup files I created in the past, but I can't see those when I try to find them again browsing through my files on computer
That means I don't know how to start backed up file, because I don't know where it is (or better said I do know, but I can't see and run it)
3. I want to put my coins to a safe place, make a physical backup, like on usb, how do I do that? And how do I place those back into my wallet? I have been reading about this but it is all so complicated, I really need some help and advice on this one
4. Does anyone know, what
exactly do you provide and to whom when mining coins?
Thank you in advance!
