Is there a chance that I can recover that?
There is a manual swap going on, and the coins on bittrex are on a different chain. So they have already been swapped, and are not compatible with the legacy wallet.
However, there is a solution to get them back.
The old wallet (Called Legacy wallet) uses the same privatekeys as the new wallet (V2)
So what you can do is the following steps:
Step 1. Legacy wallet
- Launch your whitecoin legacy client
- Click on 'help' in the menu bar
- Click on 'debug window'
- Select the 'console' tab
- If your wallet is protected by a passphrase (i.e you have to enter a passphrase before you can send) unlock it by typing: walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here" 600
- Then type: dumpprivkey [your Whitecoin address here] (Without the brackets)
Step 2. V2.0.0.0 wallet
https://github.com/Whitecoin-org/Whitecoin/releases/tag/v2.0.0.0
- Launch your whitecoin v2 client
- Click on 'help' in the menu bar
- Click on 'debug window'
- Select the 'console' tab
- If your wallet is protected by a passphrase (i.e you have to enter a passphrase before you can send) unlock it by typing: walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here" 600
- Then type: importprivkey yourPrivateKeyInWalletImportFormat "TheLabelThatIWant"
- Restart the wallet and the coins should show up
After the coins show up you are good to go and you don't need to swap them manually, if you need more help please join us on slack.
Let me know if this helps.
