I found my old wallets and .dat files......

been awhile since i have done this, but if you are looking for a faster way you can use a lite wallet. like multidoge or wowdoge

http://multidoge.org/
http://www.wowdoge.org/


in the dogecoin QT client, if you go to the console tab and use the "dumpprivkey" option you can get your private key, import it into a lite wallet and get those coins NOW instead of waiting for blockchain sync, possibly days.

The wallet doesn't have to be synced to get the private keys out of it.

I downloaded wowdoge, I have no idea how to locate the "dumppirvkey". I have the Dogecoin Core wallet. I looked under everything and couldnt find dumpprivkey

its been years since i have done it personally, maybe it was 2014-2015

but from /r/dogecoin

https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/1x6xvp/how_do_i_find_my_private_key/

---

click on 'help' in the menu bar (top right)

click on 'debug window'

select the 'console' tab

*type: walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here"

type: dumpprivkey [your public key here]

this will return the private key, you can copy it now; ensure you clear your clipboard/history afterwards

*type: walletlock

* ignore these steps if your wallet isn't encrypted.

GUYS!!!! So this thing is now at 3 yrs and 34 weeks as we speak, however at some point...the 122k approx coins came into the wallet as a ballance and I successfully transferred them out to an exchange! Recovered approx 2k USD. Still gonna let this sync and see if any more coins "show up" lol.

I cant thank you guys enough!

Now....I'm going to see if I have any Vertcoin, cuz apparently I was mining that too.

Agreed! Don't sell your DOGE!! Hold on to it and you may see these 2k magically turn to 100-500k Glad you recovered your DOGE though! Good luck mate!

Nice find!  Wish I had started mining several years ago! Would probably be retired now.
