I had purchased litecoins in 2014 and has not used the laptop in which they are stored for the last 3 years. I had a look at it a couple of weeks back and started synchronising it. It synchronised fine up to a status where 6 weeks of synchronisation was pending. Since then when I try to open the Litecoin wallet, an error message comes up which reads as “Incorrect or no genesis block found. Wrong datadir for network?”.
Please can you advise how I could resolve this situation?
Go to c: drive programsfile then look for appdata then look for Litecoin file them copy the wallet.dat and keep it safe. After that try to get another computer or laptop install Litecoin core then paste your file at the same place then open your Litecoin core let it sync, after that everything will be good
Thanks Xue. I have installed Litecoin core in another laptop. It is now syncing and is 6 years and 7 weeks behind. Should i wait for the syncing to be completed before pasting the old file to the same location in the new laptop to which i downloaded the Litecoin core please?
