Are old Feathercoins any good?
-
Hi Folks,
I’ve got some old Feathercoins that I’d like make use of. It has been years since I mined them. I have my wallet.dat file, but cannot successfully load them up using the new client. Are these old Feather coins no longer accessible, or is there some way of recovering what I had? I synced my client, and brought it up to date, then copied my old wallet.dat file over the new one, and failure.
Any help would be appreciated. I apologize in advance if this topic has already been covered.
Thanks,

Hello warden,
“old” Feathercoins are the same as “new” ones! - Good news :) - Try to import your walletfile before syncing the blockchain, or just try to use --rescan as start-option. If that doesnt work, please screenshot/share the errormessage.

CheckaZ is right, you need to copy/paste your wallet.dat, before you synchronize with the blockchain.
The reason is, that no coins are stored in yout wallet.dat, but only the private keys of your Feathercoin addresses.
During synchronization/rescan the client searches all transactions for your addresses and adds up the matching transactions.Only after that is done, you see your coins in the Wallet.
