I've seen hundreds of posts on this subreddit over the last few years dealing with Doughwallet. I'm sure that, like me, people sent off their coins to their nice iOS wallet, forgot about it, and that was that.

Funnily enough, I found two recovery phrases on my iPhone - one a screenshot, one in my notes. So I decided to see what, if anything, could be recovered.

The problem with Doughwallet, and its recovery tool, is that it generates thousands and thousands of wallet/private key combos. Instead of manually inputting every wallet onto a block explorer to check for balances, I decided to try MultiDoge.

This seems to be the only way to mass import keys. It's quite simple actually.

1: Open it up, go to the default wallet, export the private keys for this wallet into a .key file. It will only have 1 private key in it.

2: Generate the private keys from your recovery tool. I used 1000, but it could go much, much higher. Toggle the wallet addresses and path off for easy selection and copying of private keys.

3: Open up the .key file in Notepad++ or something similar. You'll see a lot of commented-out lines and one uncommented line with your private key and a timestamp. Past the private keys you have generated from the tool just below the one private key in the .key file. They will indent but don't worry, Multidoge will look past this.

4: Import the .key file into Multidoge.

Now this is where my method fails. Multidoge will take a while to do this, and be warned - because we have removed the timestamp, Multidoge will want to rescan the entire blockchain. My internet ain't great, and I doubt there is a nearby node in my country, thus Multidoge doesn't pick up any peers and doesn't scan.

Please, if someone can come up with a genius idea of how to get Multidoge to "skim" the core network properly, after which I can transfer my doges to a better wallet solution, I would be forever thankful. I'm thinking of running a full node on an EC2 instance and then directly adding it as a node under multidoge's settings. But we'll see.

If this method worked for you, let me know. I'd love to know that at least someone got something out of this ramble.

tl;dr Multidoge allows bulk import of private keys from the Doughwallet recovery tool and may recover some doges you may had.
