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?
Delete all but don’t delete the wallets folder with wallet.dat file inside. Before doing this, OP must have a copy or some copies of the wallet.dat file.
In Bitcoin Core, OP can click on Windows, Information and get the Data direction (datadir).
Go to that folder, delete all sub folders, except wallets sub-folder. Close the Bitcoin Core, then open it again and let it download the block chain from Genesis block and syncs.
