A private key is what control the funds, and make them spendable on its correlating public key.
We do not reuse a key pair (public and private key) after the private key has been swiped/imported on a networked computer, ie do not reuse a paper wallet after the private key has been used.
== Troubleshooting ==
''' Please backup your wallet.dat file before doing anything if you are having trouble accessing your QT wallet. The wallet.dat contains your private keys for each address, without those you will probably lose access to your Ravencoin.'''
'''Symptoms:'''
=== Restore wallet ===
==== Quick restore guide ====
Same steps as [[#Wallet does not sync|Wallet does not sync]] just put back your backup wallet.dat instead.
==== Full restore guide ====
This guide assumes you are starting fresh on a new computer.
* Start by installing Raven-QT wallet follow [[Best_practices#General_wallet_guide|General wallet guide]] if needed, skip encrypt and backup for now.
* Once you have Raven-qt running and fully synced, quit raven-qt and wait for it to fully exit.
* Open your Data folder, the default location is shown below this guide.
* Move the wallet.dat that is already inside your Data folder (Raven) folder to another location ie. desktop, and put your backup wallet.dat here instead. If you used a memorable name for your backup wallet.dat we need you rename it back to wallet.dat now.
*Launch Raven-qt and you should see your funds available.
Windows: %AppData%/Roaming/Raven
Mac: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Raven
Linux: ~/.raven
Note that " ~/ " is the home folder for linux and mac, not " / " root.
=== Wallet does not sync ===
* Make sure you've got a safe backup of your wallet.dat file
* Make sure you are running latest version of wallet from github
* help > debug > console, and type
addnode electrum-rvn.minermore.com add
addnode rvn.satoshi.org.uk add
==== Archive Wallet does not sync guidance ====
The first thing to try is to re download the blockchain.
* Make sure you're running the latest version of the wallet
* Close raven-qt completely, wait for shutdown window to disappear.
* Open %AppData%/Roaming folder and '''move''' Raven folder to desktop.
* Launch raven-qt and wait for blockchain to sync completely, then shut down completely.
* '''Move''' wallet.dat from your old raven folder on our desktop into the freshly created Raven folder in %AppData%/Roaming/.
* Launch raven-qt, and all should be well.

=== Crash on start up ===
The first thing to try is to re download blockchain. Follow same steps as [[#Wallet does not sync|Wallet does not sync]]
There is a guide on the [https://ravenforum.org/topic/20/ravencoin-wallet-and-troubleshoot Community forum].
===Transaction stuck ===
Try deleting the downloaded blockchain, and resync.
===Extra amount of rvn went missing when I transferred coins out of the wallet===
Try from within the wallet:
Help / Debug Window / Console: and write
listaddressgroupings
This will list all your addresses and their balance. Check for the "missing" amount.
This appears to be a display issue that happens rarely.
=== Change data location ===
Registry location
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Raven\Raven-Qt\StrDataDir
Or you can start raven-qt with the flag below, to have it ask again as per initial installation:
-choosedatadir
=== Transaction to large ===
When the wallet has too many small transactions to a single address, it can cause a issue.
