I'm trying to add existing keystore files to my current install.
bumping this I have two keystore files I know the passphrases , how do I add those accounts to my current geth install ?
The files being in the .ethereium folder but I don't see the accounts with those ids.
I tried the import command but I keep getting this error -
encoding/hex: invalid byte: U+007B '{'
any ideas ?
I m having the same problem I mined for awhile got a few ether and now it shows zero ether in red numbers in my wallet.
I dont see how this was solved yet? Does anyone have any info on this? Please help. Thanks.
I've got a 2 keystore files and whenever I add it to the keystore folder, then run geth and then running the Mist wallet. The account appears with no Ethers in.
I had ethereums before the hard fork. So, how do claim my ethers back?
Kind regards
Prox.
