Wallet loading failed.
Wallet loading failed.
Hi,
I am trying to restore my bitcoin core wallet from another device. When I try to restore my wallet with my .dat file I get this message on bitcoin core: “Wallet loading failed. Prune: last wallet synchronisation goes beyond pruned data. You need to -reindex (download the whole blockchain again in case of pruned node).” I dont really understand what this means, not tech savvy. How can I upload my old wallet on my new mac?

You are running a pruned node and you don’t have the entire blockchain in your hard disk. A pruned node keeps the latest blocks and remove the old blocks as time goes on.
If you want to import the other wallet in bitcoin core, the only solution is to redownload the blockchain.
