Yeah I tried to copy over the backed up key file and it made no difference.

Oddly. I restarted my main PC and this time it worked.. Freaked me out though.. Really odd.

That's good to hear, gl

Thank you for trying to help though. I appreciate it. Wink

Odd issue just came up with my wallet.

I wanted to transfer some coins to another address (which I've done many times before) and it keeps saying I have the wrong password.
Which is impossible, because I am very thorough with DD on my passwords. So I know it is correct.

I have the latest 0.8.4 wallet and can receive fine into it, but can't seem to send out.

I am running parity for the blockchain and it's caught up.

Anyone else having this issue?

Anyone ? It's starting to worry me. It has quite a bit of ETH in it.  Lips sealed


Do you know where the keystore file is?



It is probably in C:/Users/yourname/.parity/keys



Please confirm it is there

Which is the best wallet for ethereum in windows. I used one a long  time ago but fails to synchronize,would appreciate your help.

Should be this one: https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases

altho i have problems now. stuck at 2339693. Have no ideas why. Had peers and all. Now try to sync from scratch.
I am actually surprised it goes so fast. I dont have SSD and have 3/4 synced really fast.  Not to mention my old chaindata folder was 27 GB, now is under 5 GB and only 1/4 blocks left.

I'm going to download the 64-bit windows version and this is my first time, how long does it take to sync fully?
And what internet speed do you have so I can compare how long will it take for me to download ?? GB of data.

Bottleneck will be speed of your HD. if you have SSD will be super fast if HDD will take overnight. 
As i said 3/4 of blockchain is 5 GB.

I installed the Electrum Wallet and I'm downloading the blocks right now, I'm almost at 10% but will see how far will it go after 8 hours.
I used Ethereum a lot in the past but only through exchanges but now want to try the desktop wallet and experiement with the private key/troubleshooting.

I'm totally new to Ethereum wallet and would like to know if there is a video tutorial how to install and use ethereum wallet including how to maintain the private key.
If there is such a video tutorial please let me know, I need it to use with ICN.
If you are using Ethereum Wallet Electron/Mist your private key are encrypted by the password you should set.
You can find it in folder keystore in appdata/roaming/ethereum (Win7) or so
As I and many of previous users posted here sync lasts about few hours.. Although if network problem will occur it could take more time.. but I hope you will be able to sync your wallet fast

Thanks!  I'm not sure I completely trust it though, but it's something!

Why don't you just use mybankwallet of your local bank? It is insured by FDIC!

Si vis pacem, para bellum
WHAT?  It seems I lost my ethers!  I had to download the entire chaindata because of the latest patch.   My Balance show 0! 
My address is 0xb1C91D5c302A73C1047b0ce676DaBd055Ac3C684 
When I look at the blockchain it still show that I have balance..  https://etherchain.org/account/0xb1C91D5c302A73C1047b0ce676DaBd055Ac3C684#txreceived



you still have 2.99 ETH in that address.....
but the wallet is FUBAR

I downloaded the whole BC.. What to do now..  Another wallet?  Is the ethereum-wallet compatible with mist?   Damn...


i have no ideas ,i cant even get my wallet to sync on latest GETH
ive heard there are using solutions using PARITY instead of GETH but i dont know it well enough to recommend it
i have 30k eth  frozen in limbo
i am not a programmer so i shall not take any risks of replay attacks or lost coins  until the foundation release a fix but this is F@cking Sh1t
having to wait several days to see if my wallet will sync /or not
