Restoring an old wallet.dat into V1.0
-
Is there a specific way to restore an old wallet.dat file?
I've tried copying it into folder App data/roaming/sia-ui/sia/wallet/
but that's not working.
...Might be making some progress. I'm using the terminal to load the old wallet.dat
But I cant enter the wallet password as I'm not asked for it, it just skips over the password line? Do I need to use a flag after the filename or something else?./siac wallet load 033x wallet.dat
Wallet password:
Reading password failed: The handle is invalid.

It's a problem with using the Windows command line. If you have linux, that would work, or if you've got cygwin that should work as well. The password reader that we use for some reason doesn't work well with the Windows command line, and we don't have a good fix at the moment that we know of.
We'll be adding the same option to the GUI at some point in the near future (2-4 weeks), so that will eventually be another way to recover the funds.
I would like to apologize to everyone who is still waiting to get their funds from an old wallet. We've had to spend a lot of time preparing the host and renter for 1.0, and the wallet fell off of our shortlist. Development on the wallet features will begin shortly.
