Ok guys serious question, back in 2015 i had mined some digibyte and some other things and put the .dat file on a memory stick will that same .dat file work with the current wallet? Or is there something else I need to do? The problem is that i have all these .dat files from many of coins and i never labeled them so I guess it is going to be trial and error to see which on is correct. Also does the Peers.dat file have anything to do with syncing my old wallet?
Thank you,
Adam
Yes, the old wallet.dat will work with the current version of the Digibyte wallet. However, as you say you will have to do some trial and error to get the right one. The peers.dat file contains connection information when you last synced. But as it has been 2 years since you last used it the information will probably be out of date. If you use the config I posted above that should speed up your sync. I'd work out which wallet.dat is correct first as that will reduce the re-scan time.
The quickest way will probably be to install the wallet and boot it up. Close it once it has booted and place you wallet.dat file in the aptdata folder. Boot up the wallet, get the address and check it against the block chain to see if it is the right one (
