MultiBit

Can I back it up through the client? Because when I manually backed it up with 2 wallets only 1 followed when I tested removing the roaming.

I know that this is probably off topic, but,  after upgrading to MB 5.18 one of my wallets has an unknown password.  Since there are no "hash" marks or asterisks I am not even sure how many characters there are...  I have restarted 5 times with no improvement, tried all of my passwords, even my 256 bit password, with no good results.  Is there anyway of "deleting" said unknown password?  Or finding whatever it may be?

[jim618]

The only place in MB where the password is added (i.e. the private keys are encrypted) is in the 'File | Add password' menu option.
You can use any character in the password (any Unicode) so hashes or asterisks would be acceptable.

For security reasons you cannot remove a password if you do not know it.
In the next version of MultiBit there is password recovery (from your seed phrase) but that does not exist in MultiBit Classic.

Label and address are two separate things. The "address" is a long string of characters that identifies transactions on the blockchain.  One is furnished to you if you're setting up to receive bitcoin; if you're setting up to pay, you copy and paste the address given you for that transaction by its payee.  The "label" is for your recordkeeping use only.  It's any notation you want to use to identify where you're sending bitcoin to or from where you're receiving it.

I can't see the place to import private key. The help contents are about Multibit not Multibit HD. Please update and please help me in this. Thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=777440.

Unless you're doing pre-release testing, the old 5.18 Multibit should be what you're using, and that's the one written up in the Help menus.  Maybe this will help you?  https://multibit.org/blog/2014/04/28/private-key-safety-improvements.html  also  https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_importingPrivateKeys.html

If you are doing pre-release testing of the HD version, you should address all of those questions on the special forum for that.  This forum is for the standard version.

I had a transaction not show up to my multibit wallet. ID# 53e1a0fd96b4324921e96b03c212d8667f9583df741574ab1cefe306ec7e256a

Blockchain has it confirmed, but the transaction never showed up to the wallet.

I don't understand how this is possible. Can anyone here provide any input?

Edit: After I loaded multibit from a USB it showed up. All better now.

The next time you could try a reset of the blockchain under Tools.

@Jim: Where did you get the pickaxe picture for mined bitcoins from? It look a lot like the minecraft diamond pickaxe

I will never use multibit again after the news and comments been reading regarding so many wallets been hacked and lost funds. Not sure how this has happened but decided to move my coin from multibit back over to normal wallet and android and paper wallets. Seems too much is going on with 3rd party clients. Just hope it gets fixed as might conceder in the future as  BTC client for pc and android is stupidly big in data.

Ill summarize for you. Simply my friend used for online payments for different sites he was using. Everything was working fine. A few more weeks later noticed a few problems wallet wouldn't load proper so he cleared everything out but backing up wallet and restoring. After updating his account balance across 3 of the addresses he had on it was cleaned out and he never withdrew the coins from wallet. When chain finished updating and doing what it needed to noticed a bunch of small transactions go out of his account somewhere totally random and lost his coins. it wasn't much luck but seems its iver to do with the sites he was using or multbit and I have heard other problems alike or not been able to use proper or some sort of issues along the way of using multi bit

Those are user faults, not MultiBit's faults. Your friend's PC got hacked, not MultiBit.

https://multibit.org/ is not opening. What's the problem?

[Orbiter]

Where do we download the software while the website is non-operational?

[allgoodthings1]

Electrum is probably as good a choice as any, if you really CAN'T wait.  Here's the "official list" of candidates: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Anyone having trouble getting there website to load?

Everyone.  That's the thing about the Internet.  If it's not working for the half dozen that have written about it already today, then it's probably now working for anybody.
