Yes you are correct, its just a slow wifi link. It had updated now, however my wallet contents didnt change and apparently this was a wallet which was not my main one. The quest goes on, none of the ones I looked for so far worked, .exe just crashes if its the wrong type I guess. I swear I saved it, or maybe I saved and then later threw it away like that guy who put his bitcoin hdd in a drawer then it went to the local dump with 1000 btc on it
@STT,
I go through your posts here and it appears you might have given up.
Next time remember to keep your private keys, in addition to wallet.dat alone.
But you may not totally lose your hope. Do you still remember what client you used when you generated the wallet.dat?
You might get wrong type error only if the wallet DB version that the client you are using now is different from the DB version that generated the wallet.dat before. It could occur if you compiled the clients on your own with different DB versions.
It was also possible that there had nothing wrong in DB version and your wallet.dat might just get corrupted.
Assuming you use Windows (because you mentioned .exe), you may try the following steps:
1. Find out the exact client you used for generating the wallet.dat;
2. Make a shortcut for the exact client (energycoin-qt.exe);
3. Edit the shortcut and add this at the end of target field:
Code:
-salvagewallet
4. Launch with the shortcut.
Good luck!
Peter
