Restoring old wallet I am trying to restore an old bitcoin backup i found in my google drive.
The original backup date is 2013, and i am quite interested to see if there is any money on it :)
I tried to follow this https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet/blob/master/wallet/README.recover.md but i get an error stating : Unknown wallet version from the future
I found the file named &quot;secret.backup&quot; and i just changed it to &quot;wallet&quot; with no type.
Opening the file in nodepad, the only readable part is : org.bitcoin.production
My end goal would be to check for funds, and transfer to my exodus client
I have taken another crack at it, and ended up succeding.
I followed this guide: https://walletsrecovery.org/recovery-docs/bitcoinwallet-recovery.html
BUT i cloned and older repository, i choose release 0.11 as it came out in 2014 and i saw my backup was from 2013.
It is now succesfully syncing.
