On the right side there is now a dropdown menu where you can selected your open wallets if it does not appear you had no other wallet open, also ok. Since the wallet is now located in the folder foo and outside the datadir, you might want to close your node and copy the folder into the wallets directory in your datadir; I just wanted to recover the wallet, clean it and send the funds to the default wallet deleting foo anyway.

First, close the Bitcoin-Qt client. If you currently have no bitcoins in your wallet, you can just delete that file and replace it with your backup.
Bitcoin Core is a full Bitcoin client and builds the backbone of the network. It offers high levels of security, privacy, and stability. However, it has fewer features and it. Bitcoin Core's User Interface · Bitcoin Core Wallet GUI (Graphical) · Bitcoin Core Wallet RPC/REST (CLI) · Lightweight Wallets Using Bitcoin Core.
If you have some bitcoins in this wallet as well, backup that wallet file as well, or send all the coins to an address from your backed up wallet. Improve this answer. Steven Roose Steven Roose What do you mean, "localize your Bitcoin folder. What happens if I backed up two separate wallets to two separate.
That's more difficult. What I would do is import one of them, generate a new address and copy it. Then back up the wallet. From there send all coins to the copied address from the first wallet file. Finally just continue using the first wallet file. Keep the second one for a few days for the case that something went wrong ; — Steven Roose Aug 4 '15 at You can also use the command-line option -wallet otherwallet.

Replace the wallet. Start Bitcoin Core on the new machine with the rescan flag, to scan the blockchain for your newly imported bitcoin. This can also take a long time hours. Your wallet should now be imported and working on the new computer. Adam Millerchip Adam Millerchip 8 8 silver badges 18 18 bronze badges.
The format of this file has been changed in a backwards-incompatible way in order to accommodate the storage of Tor v3 and other BIP addresses. This means that if the file is modified by 0. The mempool now tracks whether transactions submitted via the wallet or RPCs have been successfully broadcast. Every minutes, the node will try to announce unbroadcast transactions until a peer requests it via a getdata message or the transaction is removed from the mempool for other reasons.
The node will not track the broadcast status of transactions submitted to the node using P2P relay. This version reduces the initial broadcast guarantees for wallet transactions submitted via P2P to a node running the wallet. The size of the set of transactions that peers have announced and we consider for requests has been reduced from to per peer , and further announcements will be ignored when that limit is reached. This release adds support for Tor version 3 hidden services, and rumoring them over the network to other peers using BIP Version 2 hidden services are still fully supported by Bitcoin Core, but the Tor network will start deprecating them in the coming months.
See the getnetworkhashps RPC for configurable access to this data. Security Precautions for the Paranoid You are about to install a private wallet onto your computer and send your LTC to it. Anyway bitcoin builds in Ubuntu far better than in Debian, by a surprisingly large distance. For Windows, it should be here:. This address belongs to your hardware wallet. Watch-only support Track bitcoins stored safely offline. If multiple whitelists are set for a given user, they are set-intersected.
The Tor onion service that is automatically created by setting the -listenonion configuration parameter will now be created as a Tor v3 service instead of Tor v2. Bitcoin Core will no longer attempt to read it. The client writes a file anchors. The next time the node starts, it reads this file and attempts to reconnect to those same two peers. This prevents an attacker from using node restarts to trigger a complete change in peers, which would be something they could use as part of an eclipse attack. This release adds support for signets BIP in addition to the existing mainnet, testnet, and regtest networks.
Signets are centrally-controlled test networks, allowing them to be more predictable test environments than the older testnet. One public signet is maintained, and selectable using -signet. It is also possible to create personal signets. This release implements BIP wtxid relay.
When negotiated, transactions are announced using their wtxid instead of their txid. Experimentation with Taproot can be done on signet, where its rules are already active. These new fields are in addition to the existing connections field, which returns the total number of peer connections. Exposed transaction version numbers are now treated as unsigned bit integers instead of signed bit integers.
This matches their treatment in consensus logic. Versions greater than 2 continue to be non-standard matching previous behavior of smaller than 1 or greater than 2 being non-standard. Note that this includes the joinpsbt command, which combines partially-signed transactions by selecting the highest version number. The mempool tracks locally submitted transactions until their initial broadcast is acknowledged by a peer.
This field returns the count of transactions waiting for acknowledgement. This indicates whether initial broadcast of the transaction has been acknowledged by a peer. The banscore field will be fully removed in the next major release. The testmempoolaccept RPC returns vsize and a fees object with the base fee if the transaction would pass validation. This indicates the type of connection established with the peer. It will return one of six options. For more information, see the getpeerinfo help documentation. The getpeerinfo RPC no longer returns the addnode field by default.
This field will be fully removed in the next major release. The getpeerinfo RPC no longer returns the whitelisted field by default. However, it is recommended to instead use the permissions field to understand if specific privileges have been granted to the peer. The walletcreatefundedpsbt RPC call will now fail with Insufficient funds when inputs are manually selected but are not enough to cover the outputs and fee.
The same ZeroMQ notification e. The -banscore configuration option, which modified the default threshold for disconnecting and discouraging misbehaving peers, has been removed as part of changes in 0.
A download permission has been extracted from the noban permission. For compatibility, noban implies the download permission, but this may change in future releases.
Refer to the help of the affected settings -whitebind and -whitelist for more details. Netmasks that contain 1-bits after 0-bits the 1-bits are not contiguous on the left side, e. They are invalid according to RFC Netmasks are used in the -rpcallowip and -whitelist configuration options and in the setban RPC.
The -blocksonly setting now completely disables fee estimation. A new bitcoin-cli -netinfo command provides a network peer connections dashboard that displays data from the getpeerinfo and getnetworkinfo RPCs in a human-readable format. An optional integer argument from 0 to 4 may be passed to see increasing levels of detail. A new bitcoin-cli -generate command, equivalent to RPC generatenewaddress followed by generatetoaddress , can generate blocks for command line testing purposes. This is a client-side version of the former generate RPC. See the help for details. The bitcoin-cli -getinfo command now displays the wallet name and balance for each of the loaded wallets when more than one is loaded e.
The connections field of bitcoin-cli -getinfo is now expanded to return a JSON object with in , out and total numbers of peer connections. It previously returned a single integer value for the total number of peer connections. Backwards compatibility has been dropped for two getaddressinfo RPC deprecations, as notified in the 0. The deprecated label field has been removed as well as the deprecated labels behavior of returning a JSON object containing name and purpose key-value pairs.
Since 0. To improve wallet privacy, the frequency of wallet rebroadcast attempts is reduced from approximately once every 15 minutes to once every hours. To maintain a similar level of guarantee for initial broadcast of wallet transactions, the mempool tracks these transactions as a part of the newly introduced unbroadcast set.
The wallet can create a transaction without change even when the keypool is empty.
