Problem is the coins from the old addresses have been sent to bitcoinfog already, and bitcoinfog have sent the coins to the 20 addresses. Have bitcoinfog completed the sending yet? If yes, you can easily use pywallet (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pywallet-22-manage-your-wallet-update-required-34028) to get the privatekeys of the 20 addresses, and manually import them to blockchain.info's online wallet. Reinstall the bitcoin client, and generate a new wallet. Use blockchain.info's online wallet to send all the coins to your new wallet.

He can just run bitcoin-qt as a server and use the dumpprivkey command if all he needs is the private key.
Just like he can import the private keys with importprivkey.
No need for pywallet to do just that Wink

Run the Bitcoin client from the command line with the -rescan flag.

typing

Code:

bitcoin-qt -rescan

in a Terminal and pressing enter should start the process.
I imagine it shouldn't be that much different from Linux.

Altho when you downloaded a new blockchain with the wallet.dat where the coins were supposed to be it should've "catched" them.
Anyway, it takes a few minutes only. Worth a try Wink

Also, this may be a dumb question, but: Are you sure that Bitcoinfog already sent you the coins? AFAIK they don't send them instantly. You may have to wait for them to have coins from others so they can mix them.

well it'll be spread over the twenty i set up to use wirth bitcoinfog, so there's a miltitude of coins there. Is it just a case of adding te initial addresss from theold address book int the new address book possibly?

Is the coins still in the old wallets but the balance says 0? Please check the addresses on the old wallet on blockchain.info to see if they're still sitting there first.

Says total received zero but total sent is 187

No. Transactions    6
Unspent Inputs    0
Total Received    187.16066453 BTC
Final Balance    0 BTC

Then the coins should be in the address you've sent it to. Check that address at blockchain.info to see if it's there.

Hi

Used bitcoinfog to transfer coins from various wallets so i could pool them. Made 20 addressees, set the thing going, waited a few minutes but nothing happened (using OSX Bitcoin-QT by the way). Noticed that it was an older beta version, which i'd used on my last machine build so i thought i'd upgrade to the version

Backed the wallet.dat file up, installed the later bitcongQT, opened it up to create the profile, including downloading the chain.

\I closed it down, copied the new wallet.dat to a separate location, replaced it with the previous one, and deleted the blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat file to force to the download of the blockchain again, but no coins show., The address book it the same, t's just got no coins.

so i have 184 coins in a chain, i have both old and new wallet.dat files, but not sure how to recover the coins, The wallets aren't encrvypted as this was an interim install so i just wanted to collect them into one area

So, does anyone know how i could get these coins back? i have more to put in but i'm scared to do anything with the addresses lest they affect the previous transactions

any ideas please? 2 BTC to the first set of complete instructinons

cheers
