Worldcoin wallet transfer?

[ericfunk]

I'm switching to a new computer but can't seem to figure out how to restore my backed up wallet on the new laptop.

Ideas?

You should be able to restore the old wallet just by copying the backed up file (wallet.dat) to the correct folder on your computer. On a default install in windows, that would be:

X:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Worldcoin

where X: is the drive your Windows system is installed on and [your user name] is your actual user name. Note that the AppData folder is hidden by default, so you'll need to open up File Explorer, then tick the box on the "View" tab that says "Hidden" to see the hidden folder.

This assumes you're using Windows 8/8.1. If you're using something else, let us know and someone will be able to figure out how to get you access/restore the wallet.

Once you have the backup wallet.dat file restored to its proper location, just launch the wallet software and it will sync back up with your data.

Hey, I don't judge. I currently have a Macbook Air and a dual-boot PC with Win8.1 and Ubuntu on it. I like them all for the things they're good at.

Glad you got your wallet fixed!

Are there any services that help store wallet information that you guys can recommend?
