My information from Feb 2014 (on a dusty previous usb) are as follows, all in a listing known as MultiBit.
directories:
- multibit.log (containing a log file)
- multibit-data, containing 4 backup directories together with key-backup, which itself comprises two information like multibit-201402xxxxxxxx.key
- and 5 information: checkpoint, information, properties, spvchain, pockets (all preceded by multibit.)
It appears the “multibit” prefix modified to “saving” after 0.5.13. Additionally I’ve no “pockets phrases”, solely a password, so I assume that modified too.
My thought is to make use of the import personal keys process given in Multibit help. This is able to get round a brand new Multibit set up asking for the pockets keys with the restore pockets process. And probably points with utilizing a brand new OS too (Linux).
However:
1) Which multibit-201402xxxxxxxx.key file ought to I exploit, the newest, or each? Will this work with my previous information; ought to I alter the prefix to “saving”?
2) Ought to I as an alternative set up some early Multibit model and use restore pockets from inside the program? Through which case can I inform what model I had in 2014 from my log file (or in any other case)?
3) Presumably not related, however I’m unsure if my information are from operating a Multibit backup, or simply guide copying. There is no such thing as a .exe information in there, however they have been created beneath Win (98 I believe).
Notice this query Assist retrieving my previous pockets, is analogous, however doesn’t ask about importing personal keys, amongst different issues.
Additionally this query Transferring bitcoins out of an previous multibit pockets, has a quick remark by the OP they managed to import their personal keys, however not how this was completed.
Not huge worth in there however I’d be very grateful for recommendation.
