Topic: six months later and I'm lost - page 2. (Read 1148 times)
like a real wallet full of cash, you have to remain aware of it or it gets lost or stolen...
The reason I switched to MultiBit is because I got a new computer. I'd actually forgotten about the bitcoin because it was static. I've got my Qt login, but never exported the .dat file. :-( Guess I'm screwed. Funny because I'm really good about doing backups, generally speaking. I just never thought to back up the wallet because I guess I never realized I couldn't just log in with my identifying info and access the bitcoin. I'm lucky it wasn't a large amount of money.
What was truly astounding to me, however, when I logged on yesterday to get back up to speed with bitcoin, was that the value of what I'd been given had quadrupled! So even though I lost basically everything, I'm going to start over, and this time I know to back up the wallet.

As long as you still have the wallet.dat you're good
Hello,
Back in April, I was given a small amount of bitcoin as a gift. I got myself a wallet at blockchain.info, and set up the Bitcoin Qt wallet on my computer. I experimented with sending bitcoin by sending some to myself, and I can see this transaction when I log in to blockchain.info.
Here's my question: I left my bitcoin alone for several months, and now I'm using Multibit instead of Bitcoin Qt. Multibit only shows the pittance I left behind when I made the experimental transfer, which shows up on blockchain.info as "unspent output". How can I get this "unspent output" back into my wallet?

the question is, do you still have your wallet.dat from the bitcoin QT client? i hope you didn't change computers for reformat. if you don't have that, the seed, or the private key.. then you are assed out sorry to say.
The easiest way would be to send you the Bitcoins you see in Bitcoin-Qt to an address you got from you new Multibit wallet.
