Title: bitcoin wallet.dat file missing
Post by: qrbr6 on August 27, 2013, 03:08 pm
I feel like such a fuck up. I put my bitcoin folders onto a thumbdrive then on my new computer I find the wallet.dat is missig and I have ZERO bitcoins. Is there another file instead or am I useless?

Did you erase or format the thumb drive?  If so, you can probably retrieve the .dat file using a program to find and restore erased files.  If you know you copied it to the new computer, do a search of the hard drive by searching for "*.dat".  (without the quotes)
