the Wallet.dat in bitcoin core = Solution

[Dydy94]

Hello guys.

I'm a bitcoin core magnet,
BUT
This software is complex..

In my opinion it is very simple, but I do not have the required skills.

I have download the blockchain on bitcoin core,

The most difficult is over?


I did some "-rescanblockchain", or "dumpwallet", "importwallet",
or "loadwallet", or replace the wallet.dat. Then rescan.
Maybe I missed something ... but nothing.

My bitcoins are not there ...

Would you have any useful solution for my problem. Please ?

Thank you in advance to whoever can help me out !!

If you just dumped and import a wallet.dat whose rescan doesn't show you your addresses then it's not going to show in the imported wallet either. Why don't you look up your addresses in a block explorer to see if your transactions are there first, and if they aren't, we can talk about where you might have placed the wallet file with those addresses inside?

Hello how can I retrieve addresses on I do not have access to the wallet?

Do you have transaction IDs saved somewhere like e.g. in a service that you previously used?

Try to put them in a block explorer such as https://blockchain.info and use it to find the addresses you have sent bitcoins to. Then compare it with the addresses in your wallet.dat (the one you renamed/have opened right now) to see if it is contained inside the wallet.dat.

If not, your bitcoins are not in that wallet which is why the rescan did not find any transactions.

If you have a fully synced Bitcoin Core... and you load a wallet.dat into it (and it has been rescanned) and the balance is zero, then the wallet is, unfortunately, empty.

If you have transaction history showing, then you can probably trace where/when the coins were sent. If you have no transaction history (as well as zero balance), then the wallet was never used.

Just because you have a lot of old wallets, it doesn't mean those wallets actually contain anything.
