Thank you very much for your response. A developer from the team that produced the UltraCoin Client wallet in 2014 advised me that it "uses bitcoinj" and advised me to refer to the wallet-tool, which you also referred me to (and coded, also, fair play to you!) but it has very little functionality: There is no Options > Safety > Backup wallet. You can send, receive bitcoin and make trades using smart contracts. I only ever used it to receive and store the few bitcoin that I bought. I knew very little except that the idea of a maths-based digital currency was fascinating!
Am I screwed? Did I back the wrong horse?!? I could send you the UltraCoin Client executable file, if that's of any use or interest. I'm sure you have far more interesting and worthwhile projects to be working on but I really, really appreciate any advice you can give. thanks you Mark On Sunday, August 12, 2018 at 8:37:19 PM UTC+1, Andreas Schildbach wrote: > > Assuming that "Ultracoin Wallet" is a fork of "Bitcoin Wallet", your > first step is creating a backup file: Options > Safety > Backup wallet. > That's the file you're missing. > > > On 08/09/2018 03:41 PM, Mark Dunne wrote: > > I am using the > > wallet.tool ( > https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet/blob/master/wallet/README.recover.md) > on > > > Ubuntu (novice user) to trying and decrypt and access (dump) my private > > keys on the UltraCoin Wallet, which uses the bitcoinj architecture, in > > order to access BCC.
