Guys what will happen if you accidentally lost the copy of your private key?..it's still possible to transfer your tokens to your other wallet using your wallet address..?? Does anyone know?..thanks in advance

If you lose your private key you will no longer use it to transfer and to deposit. Tour private key is just simply your password so that no one can use your wallet. So you must be careful with your private because in just simply posting it your coins will disappear

Your private key serves as your password, pin code, and your only sole access to your wallet. If you lost it, then you can never access it. Even if you know your address, you can't use it to access your wallet, only that, you can view your balance. Private key needs to be in your safe place or always have a back up for it. You must always secure your private key.

If you still have the wallet on your pc, you can just dump it again.

There are also tools that generate private keys online, based on your adress and wallet.dat file, but I can't confirm these actually work.

Let's hope you'll take this as a lesson, and that the wallet didnt contain to much coins.

Good luck.

it's a big deal, if you lose your private key, it's the same as you lost it all ..
your coins and wallets will never be open again.
and you have to create a new wallet, then collect the coins again, so you have to keep your private key very carefully

Private keys should be kept properly and should not be disclosed to anyone. If you lost it you can't access your wallet anymore and your coins will be stagnant and locked in there. That would be the worst thing that can happen to anyone.

No, unfortunately you are unable to access your wallet if you dont have your private keys. That would mean your money is lost. So you must always guard your keys with your life. Always keep them in a safe place. In more than one safe place preferably so that if the house burns down, you will still be able to access your keys.

I am really sorry to say it' impossible you can't transaction any amount without privet key from cryptocurrency, the private key is just not a private key it's money, more information for you private key don't share any other person though he very close to you. it's my suggestion you can save your private key Google Drive or in an External hard disk.

If you do not have access to a private key, you can not manage money. It's good. Because that's why we love crypto assets, that only the owner has the right to decide what to do with them.

basically if you lost your private key, you will never retrieve it again unless you will try to contact their support for taking chances.
certainly there is no way to go backwards from the public key to the private key, that would mean that anyone could steal your Bitcoin

Many wallets don´t use private keys. They manege public addresses for you to send or receive cryptos. Try to use those ones, next time.
As everyone said, the private key is like your life in the blockchain, and you can recover it

Private keys are important files with any type of cryptocurrency wallets. So if you lose it, you can not use your wallets. Because it will be your password

With you lost key those bitcoins will be lost. If you still have access to that wallet send everything to a new wallet. It is important to make multiple copies of your keys for this reason.

You cannot recover your wallet without private key. AFAIK the key itself can't be recovered as it is based on strong cryptography algorithm

You cannot get back your funds if you lost your private key. It is very important in crypto. You are unlocking your funds on the blockchain with your p-key. If you lost it then you don't gain access to it.

If you only lost your copy but you're still able to manage your Bitcoin, then it's not really a problem. Because you still have the ability to make either a transaction to a different wallet of yours or export the private key again. But if you're copy is lost and it is not included in the wallet then your funds are gone forever. So make sure you don't lose them.
