I backed up my personal key and restored it into a brand new copy of Multibit (distinction machine). The import was profitable however the public key handle has not been up to date with my earlier handle.
I’ve accomplished “Examine Non-public Keys” which stated it was profitable in addition to pressured a resync with the blockchain. None of my outdated transactions are exhibiting up.
Any ideas? Little doubt I am doing one thing unsuitable.
Thanks!
Edit:
Thanks for the response! I verified by way of bitaddress.org that the personal key I exported solely matches the bitcoin handle robotically generated after I created the brand new pockets.
However the outdated personal key that I IMPORTED into this identical pockets is nowhere to be discovered. Multibit says the import was successful. If that is true there ought to be TWO personal keys within the export file; one for the auto-generated bitcoin handle and one which matches the outdated imported personal key.
I might like to take the personal key in my unique export file and paste it into bitaddress.org to see if it matches my public handle however my export file is encrypted. So I’ve to import into Multibit, enter the password after which export it unencrypted to acquire the personal key.
Does anybody know of a option to decrypt an encrypted personal key file with out utilizing Multibit?
