How to Release 25 Ether from a Wallet Contract Accidentally Created

ethermistrecoverywallets

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?

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
