Hello,
I have previously been using bitcoin-qt; however, the other day ago it said no genesis block found and based on online advice I made a note of my private key and deleted it. I tried to import my keys into Electrum but when I go on restore it says I have zero balance. When I use the sweep function it said no input found. Any advice?
Thanks

Do you have a backup of your wallet.dat file? If yes, then try to upload it here and send the coins to a newly generated address which was generated with Electrum. |

If you still have the wallet.dat, get core, open it with it (does not need to by synced) and in console write[1] dumpwallet wallet.txtIt will export all your private keys into the file. If you import all of them into electrum you should see your balance. [1] unlock 1st ofc, but I assume you know that since you know how to export a single key. |

Close core, open the data directory[1], rename the wallet.dat you find there and put your into its place. You will find the .txt file in that directory as well once you exported the keys. [1] https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory |

I think it will have to sync first. No, synced or not does not change anything if OP has no password. I don't have a passphrase? Are there any other ways to recover the coins?
So its not your wallet? No, you cant recover anything if you dont have the password. |

What are you using do you use mac electrum or windows electrum? If you have a backup like a default_wallet.dat from appdata>electrum>wallets we can analys it... or you can just simply click file from the top left then click open wallet select your old wallet then check it if theres a changes about your balance? |

As Shorena said earlier, open Bitcoin Core and go to Help > Debug Window. Then click the Console tab and in the box at the bottom type Then go to the Data Directory and you should see a file there called "wallet.txt" That is the dump of your wallet, it has all of your addresses and private keys, which you can now go to Electrum and import them. |
