When I first started with Mist, I sent 25 ether to a Wallet Contract. It showed up on Mist for a few weeks and disappeared.

I see the transaction here: 0x7de54cbb5ab805bfbb96014f415799712d5ada35

Can I send the 25 ether to my main wallet? I have the password.

Does this need to be done in my Mac's Terminal?

  • Is the issue that you no longer see the wallet in Mist?

You can import a wallet into Mist through the "Add Wallet" option. Just click the "Import Wallet" button, and enter the address of your wallet. You should then be able to send from that wallet as usual.

Add Wallet

Import Wallet

Note that the wallet you import should be from the Ethereum or .ethereum directory, keystore subdirectory, located here:

  • Mac: ~/Library/Ethereum
  • Linux: ~/.ethereum
  • Windows: %APPDATA%/Ethereum

  • Thank you. It says I don't own the account. When I go into terminal and put the keystore/private key in it says "no such file or directory"... Again, thank you for your help but I think those 25 eth are gone ...

  • So you don't own the key used to create the wallet? Did you delete your keystore folder?

  • In order to access your Ether, you'll need access to account 0xf5026d595eeba7ece5cfef4e531b9bfb22f8a0c6. If you don't have that private key, there's no way to retrieve you funds

  • Thank you Tjaden. I backed up the keystore and thought the number after "UTC--2016-01-28T18-08-23.319926174Z-- was my private key. Guess its gone... Thank you for all your help : )
