RE: Losing (and finding) my QTUM Wallet

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Thanks for sharing! Just getting into staking, too ... thought it might be a good idea to research what could go wrong before starting :)

... so what is this "reindex" and "salvage" about?
... and what about restoring an encryptet wallet? Will the UI ask me to provide the passphrase used to encrypt?

Sort:  

Yes, the UI will ask you for your passphrase if you are restoring an encrypted wallet.

Reindex and salvage are just two different methods of reconstructing the blockchain and txs. I'm not entirely sure what the nuts and bolts of it are.
