I understand this thread is several years old, but I could really use something like this - I lost 206-odd ethereum a few years ago, when I deleted the "ethereum" folder to free-up space on my HDD, inadvertantly also deleting the "keystore" folder, & rather than just freeing up space, I also freed-up my wallet  It generated a new address, with ZERO balance. I'm actively digging around for solutions to this, unfortunately the url above is not active.

Also, I'm only prepared to conduct the trade here, Monbux has kindly agreed to be the escrow, no telegram timewasters thx - how stupid these scammers are.

Post-ICO, the price will run to $0.30-0.33. I am selling now as I have short-term financial commitments that need addressing. If it wasn't for this, I'd be holding on to these.

I'm prepared to trade these now at the equivalent of $0.23, this is a pre-ICO opportunity. I'm open to offers.

I want to sell 52,800 ALN Aluna Tokens.
Price per token is 0.000026 BTC (negotiable).

I accept payments in BTC, & may consider other popular cryptos.

Cheers for the offer Royse, looks like this individual was a scammer, as they insisted on no 3rd party, & weren't prepared to send 1st in a direct trade either. Hmmmnnnmn. Thx anyway, for the sake of anybody reading this  thread, it was initiated through telegram, their ID was "Engeles", & the pic associated with the ID was what looks like a guy with his son (presumably), at a sports event. Shame. I can upload the pic here, but it's currently on my desktop, as a saved image. (If anybody can help with getting it onto here, then I will)

Again, cheers Royse. & to Engeles. FO.

I've arranged a trade with somebody from BTC to ALN, can a mod / somebody with a decent history / rep possibly provide escrow for this pls? We can pay a fee / donate to the site in return, thx.

Thanks for the replies, this is so frustrating - I've spent hours trying to resolve this, no replies from message to dev that might be able to help out here. The address I provided above is not accurate, & searching for the address the wallet currently displays comes up with nothing on the explorer. Any further ideas welcome

edit: It was actually 2017 when I installed the wallet, 08/10/2017, I have an encrypted wallet passphrase saved, but "unlock wallet" is greyed-out in the menu. 

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate all help with this - Loganota - the funds were DEFINITELY showing in the wallet originally, so the move from coinexchange.io to the wallet was fine. I used cryptoid to check the original transaction once the balance "disappeared" from the wallet. (To see if somebody had maybe hacked my wallet & removed the eqt from it.)

I'm at a loss with this, I've tried everything - ohforf said to move the .dat backup manually into the %appdata% folder of the wallet manually, rather than execute this within the wallet, (this was a good while ago) - tried this, no joy. The problem I now have is, because coinexchange.io is gone, I'm unable to search cryptoid again to confirm that the balance hasn't been moved out of the wallet. (I tried seaarching with the current "receiving" address for the wallet, this doesn't show anything.

Out of curiosity, I checked one of the blocks from within the "debug" section of the wallet:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/eqt/block.dws?53dce9f31129de09323829ceb93bb637c5f6e2b6877fc89a72216d42e0c86c3c.htm

The "Value Out" amount of 1489.6eqt rings a bell as the amount I had, so maybe a clue there. (It was several years ago that I gave up on it, as the value of eqt plummeted, long before coin-exchange closed,  & I had written it off).

Of course, now that it's being swapped for aluna, if there's any way at all of recovering this eqt within the wallet, I'm keen to get it swapped for something with a bit of promise.

50 cent, if I download & install the new wallet, would that not overwrite the existing wallet, with a new set of keys / receiving address? I'm being a little cautious with how to go about this, as I don't want to overwrite anything.

I installed an equitrader wallet on my pc a few years ago, & moved a load of eqt from coinexchange.io into the wallet, installed on a windows machine. Some time after this, I opened the wallet, & it showed "zero balance". Nothing showing at all. After spending hours trying to get the balance recovered, I messaged ohforf on here, & did get some decent advice re: the .dat file, but I was ultimately unable to recover anything, whilst the price of eqt went to basically zero.

Now, due to the aluna swap, I'm trying to get this resolved. At the time coinexchange was open, I had used cryptoid to verify that the funds showed as sent to the wallet, which they did. Unfortunately, coinexchange is now gone, so I've no way of getting the txid or any info from the exchange side. On checking cryptoid with the current receiving address for the eqt wallet, it comes up with nothing.

If anybody can help me recover these funds, I'd be hugely grateful, & can donate to them. A few details:


EquiTrader version EQT-v1.0.0.build-g-bdb-gcc

Installed around Oct. 2018 (from memory)

Several thousand eqt were sent in one transaction to the wallet, & had definitely showed inside the wallet. I've tried copying in the wallet.dat backup, no joy.

Any help would be great with this

I understand this is an old thread, but can anybody add anything to update this? I've been trading on LBC for a few months, & need to put my Tax-return together. From what I've read so far, it seems that income from trading BTC to £ Sterling attracts Income Tax, (with the sale of the bitcoin being the "taxable event") but has now been ruled exempt from Capital-Gains Tax.
