I have been keeping a stash of bitcoins in multibit with a very strong password and it's worked fine for the last year but today when I opened Multibit my wallets where gone and the balance was 0. I've tried following the troubleshooting advice but I've been unsuccessful.
I followed these instructions"
"Where MultiBit stores your data MultiBit stores user specific data such as logs and the default multibit.wallet in a "user data directory". This directory can be worked out as follows: Check the the very top of the "Messages" tab for a message like "The user data directory is '/Users/jim/Library/Application Support/MultiBit'" Navigate to the MultiBit installation directory and check for a file called "multibit.properties". This file is not there. These are the only files I can find there
authors.txt configuration.md COPYING multibit-exe.jar multibit.checkpoints readme.txt release_notes.txt
I then attempted the technical approach but failed to find anything.
I used these commands in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE killall Finder
hidden files did appear but nothing containing "multibit" or "wallet"
I tried hitting hitting Command+Shift+Period but nothing happened.
I tried using Terminal using "ls -a" command and various filed appeared but nothing containing "multibit" or "wallet".
I have an external HD which I used to make backups, or so I thought, I just plug it in and let time machine do its thing every so often, but if I try the same process on there nothing comes up either. The Multibit icon is there in the backed up applications folder but if I open it it's empty too and none of the searches reveal anything.
Please help!
