Okay, the problem was that I needed to rename the backup file wallet.dat when I put it in the roaming data. I rescanned after that. However, it only lists 3 transactions from June before I encrypted my wallet, and I have 0 BTC in my account. It's as if the receiving addresses from after my wallet encryption didn't load. What do I do?

My backup file is from before I encrypted the wallet. I replaced the wallet .dat file in my roaming data with the backup file, ran the wallet with the rescan tag, and now I have 0 BTC in my wallet. It says it couldn't find the blockchain. It actually says "No Block Source Available." Any idea how to fix this?

Hi all, n00b and oafy moron here,

I lost the password for my Bitcoin wallet because I wrote it down on a notebook that had very weak binding. The wallet only has .3164557 BT, but I'm poor and only make $2500 a year so that's a lot for me. Like, enough to feed me for a month.

I run Bitcore 64-bit on Windows 8. The password was really random but I have some general ideas about it. It was definitely between 9 and 13 characters, but probably only 10 or 11. It had uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation (maybe), and symbols, but only symbols that come standard on a Us keyboard. I'm almost certain it didn't have any vowels. I don't think it had an exclamation point or an @ sign. I generally like to use percentages signs, ^s, ampersands, and asterisks a lot. When I think of the letters things like q, r, w, c, v, k, and p come to mind. I'm almost absolutely positive it had a y, either uppercase or lowercase. The y was probably next to a couple of 2s? And the 2s I think were near some parentheses, either (, ), ((, or )). I don't think I've ever used a 5 in a password.  How screwed am I, on a scale of 1 to 10?

Also, I backed up my wallet on a flashdrive. I'm not sure if the most recent backup file was before or after I encrypted the wallet. If it was before I encrypted the wallet, it was also certainly before I received the .3164557 BT in funds. If I attempt to restore from the backup will it wipe out all the funds I've gotten since?

Help is greatly appreciated, even though I'm poor and really don't have much to give!
