Accessing old wallet

[fro169]

Hi,

It's been a few years since I accessed my Wraith 4.0 app on my iMac. It's not syncing or showing my amount.

I downloaded the new Verge app on my iPhone and entered the 12-word seed phrase with no luck. I also tried the new Verge Septem wallet for Mac. Any help?

so first of all, you are mixing up two different things. the wraith 4.0 imac wallet did not, and never has had a 12 word seed phrase. it has private keys for addresses, and the option for a password. if you just download the new 7.7 for mac and run it, it will access your old 4.0 wallet.

Justin,

Is 7.7 the same as Septem? If so, I downloaded it yesterday, and it took most of the day to load the blocks. Any reason my balance isn't showing?

[justinvforvendetta]

yes, if you havent synced in a while, it can take a while, but the desktop wallet is the best

Hmm... any reason my balance doesn't show in 7.7?

[justinvforvendetta]

it should show your entire history. are you using the same computer? did you make a backup of your wallet.dat file from way back?

[fro169]

From the old Wraith, yes.

[justinvforvendetta]

it uses the same wallet.dat file. you are on a mac yes? check here for a directory named VERGE:

Try going to your Local, User directory of the Library.

i.e. try this: ~/Library/Application Support/VERGE/

do you see your transaction history at all?

[justinvforvendetta]

are you using a different user account name than you had when you were running 4.0? that was about 7 years ago, and the computer and account are stil the exact same?

Will the sub-folder be named Transaction?

I've updated my iMacs over the years but used migration.

[justinvforvendetta]

no, you want to make sure you have a Verge folder, and a wallet.dat inside. do you see transactions in your wallet when its open and fully synced?

[fro169]

I see my wallet.dat file, but no, I do not see any transactions. It was initially sent from Bittrex.

it's been so long since I looked at this (sadly). I don't recall why one of my notes says XVG and a 12 phase seed... I thought it was from the old iPhone app wallet?

then download the ios wallet, and enter your 12 words

[fro169]

then download the ios wallet, and enter your 12 words

I have, numerous times, and my balance doesn’t show :(

[justinvforvendetta]

if you dont see tx history also that means you either entered one of the words wrong or didnt type the right password.

I appreciate your help here. TO confirm, when using the latest iPhone app wallet, you must enter you 12-word seed, and the old password from back in the day?

[justinvforvendetta]

that is correct, and if you had coins, they will restore. if any typos are made or a different password, a different wallet will be created. its called a "mnemonic seed"
