Hi
Anyone to help a poor sod? Basically, how do you import a wallet after reinstalling?
NOTHING seems to be working.
Before I completely delete the whole wallet, will this work?
Backup the wallet...
Put in a safe folder somewhere...
completely delete everything else related to the wallet...
re-install the wallet...
Will the new install ask if I have a backup?
OK, I just tried installing the wallet on a different computer, but it didnt ask for a backup, and it didnt find my backup in the same folder.
Now WHat???!!!
I'm assuming you have the back up already.
1. Click Window start button, in search field type "folder options" and open it, now under view tab check "show hidden files,folders, and drives. Click apply and close.
2. Open the User folder on the computer where your new wallet is stored. Open files in following order, appdata, roaming, Mintcoin. Now simply remove the existing wallet.dat file to the recycle bin and replace with your backup wallet.dat. Close all files and start Mintcoin. You should be good to go.
NOTE: If you named your backup wallet.dat anything other than wallet.dat, you must rename it back to wallet.dat. You can do this by clicking the file once, then right clicking and scroll down to rename.
I'm going to bed now.
