| Help Upgading LiteCoin Wallet (without losing any LiteCoins!) Posted: 10 Sep 2020 04:32 PM PDT I'm looking for some help on upgrading my Litecoin wallet to avoid losing some coins I mined several years ago. I gave up back then because LiteCoin was going down and the mining machine I built was costing more in utility charges than the amount of LiteCoins it was mining at the time. After not updating my LiteCoin Wallet for several years, I finally tried to do it earlier this year and got this message: "URGENT: Alert Key Compromised, upgrade required." Per instructions I found online, I backed up WALLET.DAT and installed the new client. I left the old LiteCoin Wallet running while I launched the new version—and I didn't know if it needed it or not—and received a message that it couldn't proceed with the old Wallet running. So I closed the old Wallet and launched the new one. After a few minutes I got this message: "Unable to rewind the database to a pre-fork state. You will need to download the blockchain. Do you want to rebuild the block database now?" There was an option to coninue or abort, and I aborted. What I'm wondering is how to proceed from here. Is there something I should do first before rebuilding the block database to make the new Wallet aware of the old WALLET.DAT? Or is that something I do after rebuilding the block database? In addition to WALLET.DAT, I also saved the ASCII encryption key. Any guidance would be hugely appreciated!!! [link] [comments]  |
