thanks a lot man for your explanation.

I suppose that re-install multibit and copy my wallet.dat in the appdata folder doesn't work...correct?

Because that link doesn't seem so easy Cheesy

I don't have any experience with multibit (and only a very limited amount of experience with multibit HD), however, it's worth a shot...
As long as you keep a clean copy of your wallet in a safe place, and use a copy of this copy to place in the multibit appdata folder, it could do no harm (AFAIK). If it doesn't work, you still have the clean copy in the safe place to try decoding your wallet.

well, i think i'll give it a try.

Just a last question...is possible to sign a transaction sending 0 satoshi?

Why would you do that?

I've found a backup of my /appdata/roaming/multibit.

Can i use it to recover my addresses? what should i do?

Thanks in advance!

If you have a copy of your wallet, you can try to read the directions on this page:
https://github.com/Multibit-Legacy/multibit/wiki/Export%20and%20limited%20import%20of%20private%20keys

hi, thanks for the link, but if i recover my private key how can i recover my address? and, more important, how can i be able to sign a transaction from that address?

That part is easy... Once you have your private key, you can import it into a range of wallets. If you have diskspace and time, you can install bitcoin core, either bitcoind or bitcoin-qt

for bitcoind => "bitcoin-cli importprivkey [yourprivatekey]
for bitcoin-qt => go to the debug console => importprivkey [yourprivatekey]

An other option is electrum (just create a new wallet, but don't generate a new seed, instead chose to generate a wallet using private key(s), then enter the private key when asked...)

there are a lot more options (like knots, armory, btcd + wallet,...).

And for your last question: yes, after you've imported the private key, most wallets will allow you to sign messages

Hi,
i need to recover some addresses from a multibit wallet, but i've disistalled multibit from my pc.

Is there a way to recover it/them?

Thanks in advance.

multibit or multibit HD?
If it's multibit, you'll probably have to stop your pc, disconnect your HD and attach it to a different PC, then use a recovery tool and hope you can recover your wallet...

If it's multibit HD, derivation path m/0'/0 should work on a downloaded, offline, version of https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/ (untested tough, i'm an electrum user, i haven't touched multibit in a long while)

sadly it's multibit... Sad

there is no other way? A recovery tool seems a little hard...
