Please can a member help me solve my problem. Years past I dig some digibytes. Now 2 days past I try to sell half to bitcoin. When i try to move digibyte to exchange, I can not move the amount I would like. Wallet says available amount which is far smaller than my total amount in the wallet? Can share some thoughts to help me transfer the correct amount I want?
Something wrong?
what wallet are you using?
do you have more than one dgb address in your wallet? or rather more than one key?
not sure but I believe it is possible to put read only addresses - ie watch addresses (in some of the wallets out there) - it will let you see the balance but you cannot send from it as you dont have the private key.
Hi sir,
Thank you for your help. It is the very new wallet that I download 2 days past. When I go to app data place to put wallet inside there is now a new folder with 3 wallet files inside wallet lock and one more. Usually there is not additional folder inside with these files. Should I delete everything in that folder not only wallet.dat. Thank you.
you have not said which wallet yet - I will assume, based on things you have said, you are talking about the core wallet/node.
do not delete any wallet.dat files ever! unless you know they are a duplicate. the wallet lock is because you have the wallet/node open and the locked wallet is the one it currently has open.
it would be hard for me to explain but what you need to do is:
1. close the wallet
2. move all the wallet.dat files and store them somewhere else - in a folder on your desktop would be fine.
3. move a copy (leave the original files where you put them) of one wallet to the app data folder
4. make sure the file is names wallet.dat (i do not think the dgb core can read different wallet file names like the bitcoin core can)
5. open the wallet
6. let it fully sync
7. check your balance
8. pull your private key and save it
--- do you know how to pull private key?
9. close core wallet
10. remove the copied wallet.dat file out of the app data folder
--- repeat the above for each wallet.dat file - never delete the originals.
it may be possible that the files are just for the same private key/public addresses - without seeing them, I cannot tell and I do not suggest sending your files and/or private keys to anyone unless you can trust them or you simply have no other recourse - even then it can be tricky.
I have done the process above with various nodes/wallets and have always been able to recover funds if the wallet.dat files are not password protected (unless I have the password) are are not corrupt or duplicates of one another.
If it turns out you have various private keys (ie each wallet.dat file is a separate private key) - you can select one to keep - the one you keep get a receive address from the wallet - make sure you have it correct.
Then one by one, do the above process but before closing the wallet, do a send of all the funds on each private key to the address you obtained from the private key you are saving.
If it turns out you have only one private key between all those wallets - you will only need to keep one file --- at that point, if you determine all the files have the same private key, you can delete the other wallet.dat files ---- but only if they are the same!
I hope I did not confuse you or that I missed anything.
depending on the amount of funds you have - I would not do any of the above unless you are confident you can do so without any mistakes.
feel free to pm me if you need further help or have questions
and PLEASE if anyone reads this and sees an error in how I wrote it, please let me know! I have done it many times so I know I can do it but I may have also forgotten a step or said it wrong.
ANOTHER reason why you dont delete the original wallet.dat files - as long as you have them, you have a chance of getting the funds held within them.
