How to retreive an address with a new wallet?

[beliomir]

hello!!

This is a general question for all wallet QT (windows)

Sometimes, when I download the lastest version of a wallet (any wallet)
They didn't show my address in receive address.

But with the old version wallet, the address is beeing see (not with the lastest)

Is there any tips to retreive my old address in a new lastest wallet?

I'll try to dump wallet and import but nothing!!

So can you help me?

I repeat sometimes with any new wallet, they didn't show my receipt addres!

Thank's for help us!!

What do you mean by your address?

But with the old version wallet, the address is beeing see (not with the lastest)

Did you try to import a private key / mnemonic seed into a wallet?
Or did you generate a new one?

First, start off with the wallet you are currently using and what you exactly want to accomplish.
Do you wan't to export/import your private keys from your old wallet into a new one?

I've an old wallet.dat and with old version QT I can see my address!

But with the new QT, he can't show the old address (old wallet old version)

How to dump a privkey?

With console I dump the privkey (in the old QT) and import them in console mode (in the new QT)?

It's ok?

Yes, you can easily dump the private key(s) and import them into a new wallet.
To export your private key click on 'Help' -> 'Debug Window' -> 'Console' Tab. Then:

• If your wallet is locked: walletpassphrase <YOUR_PASSWORD> 300
• To view all the addresses which contain coins: listunspent
• To dump the privkey: dumpprivkey <ADDRESS>

If you have a wallet which was created before HD wallets were introduced you might consider creating an new wallet and send your funds over there.
Transaction fees are very low currently. 10 sat/B are enough to get your TX confirmed in the next few blocks.

But with the new QT, he can't show the old address (old wallet old version)

What version is the new software?

Did you use the same wallet.dat file?

How to dump a privkey?

In console:

Code:

dumpprivkey 1yourBitcoinAddressHere

Replace 1yourBitcoinAddressHere with your actual Bitcoin Address

With console I dump the privkey (in the old QT) and import them in console mode (in the new QT)?

It's ok?

If the new software has a new wallet.dat file and you want to transfer the private keys.

A last question!

How can I get back an orphan transaction?

Txindex=1 would indeed list ALL the transactions that have ever happend on the blockchain, however if you already added your private key/adress/watch only adress in a new wallet, it shouldn't make a difference.

As txindex=0 already indexes from these things.

How can I get back an orphan transaction?

If your transaction got orphaned it means that it never got spend"confirmed" succesfully, or became invalid later on, and thus it should still be in your wallet. I believe that even the HEX transaction code will be still valid, and you should be able to push the tx back to the mempool using something like this, https://coinb.in
