This is a good read. Count me on the same boat, thanks to the shitty Multibit wallet but I am not in a hurry to open the wallet yet. That said:
> Four years ago, I was living in Hong Kong when a fellow journalist named Mike* and I decided to invest in bitcoin. I bought four while Mike went in for 40; I spent about $2,000 while he put in $15,000.
Invest? Really? That is called speculation with the amount of money you can afford to lose. If you were investing you would go all in and track the progress and protect the password.
- mrgordon 9y agoWhat is the problem with Multibit? Just recovered a 2013 wallet a few days ago. Got a password on it or something?
- thisisit 9y agoIt's the issue highlighted in the article. > Most users only need one wallet, but MultiBit practically demands that you set up multiple. On top of this, it allows you to add multiple passwords to each wallet, even though these aren't required. So it gets confusing fast. Then: > I tracked down an old version of the now discontinued software and discovered that there were multiple ways to restore wallets using MultiBit So you got links for the old version?
- mrgordon 9y agoMine didn't have a password (only worth a few $) but yeah that sucks I was able to just save the wallet (as a .dat I believe) and then inspect it with a text editor. The contents were my private key and the date the wallet was created. I then used my private key and my address to import the wallet into a modern program.
