Restoring Seed or Privatekey to Defi Wallet Mac app results in block sync stopping #1200

Open TravisZA opened 2 years ago

TravisZA commented 2 years ago

Actual behavior:

Expected behavior:

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

  1. Unable to restore .dat, wallet opens, but sync stops. 2. When I create a new wallet and try restore from seed words or the private key that I was able to retrieve with the dumpprivkey, and importprivkey the same thing happens. I am able to see my balance and my address in the wallet, but as soon as the private key/address is associated with a wallet.dat file the sync stops and only resumes once I exit the wallet. 3. I also have a .txt backup from the previous Defi-app with an extended private key saved

    What are your environment parameters?

I use a 2012 Mac Mini and a 2019 Macbook Pro 16"

Anything else we need to know?

Hi @TravisZA , update v2.13.0 is out, this is a mandatory update. Kindly backup wallet and read through the release notes before updating.

To access your current wallet.dat and previous backups made, you can find it here; Mac — Go to Folder: 
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/DeFi/wallets

In the wallets folder you'll likely see wallet-bak-123456789 as well, these are additional wallet backups.

Please backup the entire wallets folder.

Mac - Go To Folder wallet dat location
  1. Upon update to v2.13.0 you'll be prompted to reindex
  2. Download snapshot & sync to 100%
  3. Check if your balances is reflected, else restore wallet using the wallet.dat
Restore wallet from backup
