I have a wallet.dat file from an old Potcoin QT Core wallet (2014) that contained 20,000 Potcoins. It was the old style QT with the fuzzy pot leaf icon.
The laptop running the client crashed and burned long ago so I wasn't sure of the address and private keys for the wallet, having only ever received the 20 K coins and not ever made any other transactions.
I just finished downloading the latest Potcoin QT Core wallet and it is fully synced to the network. If I cut and paste the old wallet.dat file into the new Client folder in %APPDATA% the balance still shows as Zero. I pressed the receive coins button to get the address from the original wallet and have noted that down (I am assuming at least I did that bit correct).
i contacted the Potcoin support several times and surprise, surprise, not a dickybird ....
Anyone know If its possible to salvage anything from this mess?
What makes things worse is I have watched the value of Potcoin/BTC fall 25% in the time it took to sync the new wallet
I know this is the Bitcoin Tech support forum but I couldnt find a Tech support forum in Altcoins.
any help much appreciated,
cheers,
kev
