          Was that enough help? that you need a computer and the wallet.dat off the USB (should be small) contains your FTC keys?

            @wrapper Hi wrapper, I do have an old computer that works. I have plugged in the USB stick, and it comes up as Chinese type writing. What do I do now ?..Alan

              @harmoye22 Hi all, have downloaded feathercoin encrypted script, from USB stick to my computer. It is now on my desk top. Anyone know how I can now change the encrypted script back to normal ?..Alan

                Just copy your backup into %appdata% Feathercoin and replace there the wallet.dat - start up the feathercoin-qt application and log in …

                I don’t use windows tho’

                      I don’t use windows any more, but isn’t it in users, under your user name? You’ll need to let the wallet sync (past where you bought the coins) to see them. and copy in your wallet.dat.

                        @wrapper Hi wrapper, no button for …users… Strange no feathercoin address came with download, but maybe I’ll have to wait for it to sync. Although it has over 4 years to go, and my internet connection here in France is very slow…regards, Alan

                              appdata refers to %appdata% in windows systems, what is a variable defining the directory, where applications store their data.

                                @wellenreiter Hi wrapper, yes I understand. Access to appdata appears via My Computer C drive. Wallet still syncing, 3 years 30 months to go, but still no sign of wallet address…Alan

                                  before starting the wallet, did you place the wallet.dat from your backup into the %appdata%.feathercoin directory?

                                    @wellenreiter Hi wellenreiter, no have still not put info from my USB stick into appdata, as it seemed pointless with no wallet address. The info from my USB stick is now on my desktop…regards, Alan

                                            My Computer…C drive…programmes…feathercoin

                                            Try this : Go to Start -> Run (or press WinKey+R) and run this:

                                            %APPDATA%\Feathercoin

                                            If that don’t work ask your admin. Those directories could be hidden by your Admin.

                                            also check again in explorer, my fault typo? :

                                            C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\ %APPDATA% \ Feathercoin ( XP )

                                            C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Feathercoin (Vista and 7)
