a full sync might make a diffrence but now you have the wallet address copy the address and past it into the search bar half way down the screen on blockchain.info
it will tell you the remaining balance of that addresd

if you dont want to wait forever for the sync you could send it to a sr member i know let him sync it and he will send the coins to your new address for a small fee

hmmmm.  okay, i replaced current wallet.dat (backed up) with old wallet.dat ... and according to Bitcoin-QT, the balance is ZERO (0)!  Cry

Can this be right?  I was pretty sure I had *something* on this old wallet from 2010. 

Bitcoin-QT is still syncing.  Would a full sync make a difference?


just install Multibit its easy & fast.

First back it up. Then download the client and replace the new wallet.dat with the old one.
If you need close up assistance, notify me.

You're a lucky man.  Smiley

Import it onto blockchain like you posted is the safest method.  If that fail (it shouldn't) then replace the existing wallet.dat with your new one - but make sure to back it up first!

If I helped and you got a fair few, maybe send something my way  Roll Eyes

i dont think you can import a wallet.dat file on blockchain.info.

  • back up your existing wallet.dat
  • navigate to your bitcoin-qt app data directory and then delete the wallet in there
  • copy the old wallet into your bitcoin app data directory
  • open your client and send the funds to your normal wallet
  • delete the old wallet and past back in your normal one from where ever you backed it up

So I found an old Bitcoin wallet on an old computer (from December 2010, back when BTC were about $0.50). I cannot recall how many BTC are on this wallet (might range between 1 - 50+).

I have the "wallet.dat" file, tho not sure how to best view it.  Can it be imported into Bitcoin-QT on my new system?  Or would it be better to use something like this: https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet

I don't want to screw anything up.  What's the best way?

Thanks!
