Litecoin Core wallet.dat

2

1

I am trying to recover my old LTC account. I still have the address (on blockchain I can still see the correct amount of LTC) and I still hold the old wallet.dat file, which I saved in the past.

I've downloaded LTC core in order to make a few transactions, but obviously I couldnt see the LTC balance. I've checked out this website and read I had to replace the wallet.dat file by the old wallet.dat file, which I did. Restarted LTC Core, but still can not see anything.

The synchronising seems to be up to date though.

What to do?

Many thanks!!

Fred

1OK. I've just managed to solve the issue.Fred 2017-06-19T11:17:20.933

1It appears I also had to rescan.

"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\litecoin-qt.exe" -rescan

So for all those in the near future encountering the same prob as me; these were the steps I had to follow:

  • download LiteCore
  • synch (which took me 3 days)
  • replaced new wallet.dat by old wallet.dat
  • run -rescan as per above
