Problems recovering and creating new private keys!

[omiros23]

Hey guys!

I just run into a problem whilst using the Nubits wallet.

In the past, I encrypted my keys and I somehow managed to either lose the passphrase or I didn’t store it properly. I thought that I should keep a copy of the key unencrypted in a USD drive, in which I had a passphrase stored on a text file too.

However I have named one wallet Nu and the other Nu2 and they were stored there with a 20 minutes gap.
I don’t know if I had realised that walletS is for NuShares and walletB is for NuBits (if I am correct), so Nu could be walletB and Nu2 could be walletS.

When I tried to use one of them as walletB and one as walletS, the wallet said that it couldn’t read walletS. I tried twice with both files, but nothing. Do I need walletS to open walletB regardless? Does that mean that both keys were of one type (i.e walletB, one possible encrypted and one unencrypted)?

Thanks for your time!

What version are you using?

I’m surprised to hear that deleting the wallets didn’t at least get you up and running with an empty client. Worst case you can reinstall the program and re-download the blockchain.

Once you have a client up and running with an updated blockchain, try importing each wallet directly from the GUI as an NSR wallet, then an NBT wallet. See if either can import as either type.

Well, I am retarded… In the end there was no problem with the blocks etc. I forgot that I was using TOR and that I turned it off when I restarted the wallet…

Still no solution on how to load the wallets…

I am using the latest version btw and it takes ages to load…

You should try to load the wallets with the version of Nu that you remember was loading the wallets.
I ran into an issue in the past where the new version of Nu as failing to load my wallets!
