HELP! PROBLEMS WITH MY WALLET

[thomasb92]

Hi! I bought 0,05 bitcoins in 2013 which I now wish to transfer to a localbitcoins wallet.

I originally saved the bitcoins in a MultiBit wallet, which is now discontinued.

I tried to transfer the 0.05 bitcoins a few months ago, and when I did, the bitcoins never reached the LocalBitcoins wallet. Different forums recommended that I should restore the wallet and that is what I did. However, when I did, the 2013 transaction stopped appearing. I restore it once and again and it didn’t appear.

Now, I opened the MultiBit wallet once again and although the transaction appears, my balance in the wallet is 0 BTC. Could you please help me with this issue? I don’t know what to do now and I am scared I have lost my 0,05 BTC.

Thanks!

Are you using MultiBit "Classic" or MultiBit "HD"?

If using MultiBit Classic, simply export your private key(s) from MBC and import them into Electrum (https://electrum.org/#download)

You can find the "MBC to Electrum" tutorial video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaijbTcxsv8


If you were using MultiBit HD, simply restore your MBHD wallet seed into Electrum (https://electrum.org/#download)

You can find the "MBHD to Electrum" tutorial video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-KcY6KUVnY


(NOTE: if you have an older version of Windows ie. Win7/8, you will need to use Electrum 2.9.3, available from here: https://download.electrum.org/2.9.3/ )
