How do i retreive my bitcoins that I purchased but never receaved because of the dodgie bitcoin qt years ago? Hi guys I am seeking to retrieve my bitcoins I purchased years ago but my bitcoin qt never synced to receive them! I have now downloaded bitcoin core and I was advised that once I have done that it should automatically just transfer over but it hasn't! So what are my options to get hold of my bitcoins I purchased years ago????
The information needed for you to recover your coins is in the original bitcoin-qt you used to get the addresses to request the bitcoins. Did you back up its data folder?

The private key for your coins is in that backup. If you didn't back that up, you probably can't recover the coins.
