Getting back allowance #604

Open ronki2304 opened 7 years ago

ronki2304 commented 7 years ago

Hello I tried to restore my SIA_UI, so I followed the process for issue 581 with the sia recover tool

Now I recover my siacoin, but my allowances are still missing

How can I retrieve it,

thank you in advance

The coins your spent on your allowance are locked up in contracts, they will go back to your original wallet (the seed that you recovered) after the duration of the contracts has elapsed.

Ok but if I plan to use sia for my backup I don't want my spent money back, I want my allowance back to retrieve data :)

is it possible ?

avahowell commented 7 years ago

Currently to restore the data you must have a copy of the renter's metadata (the renter folder in %APPDATA%\Sia-UI\sia, assuming you're on windows)

OK It works,

but How I am supposing to manage my back up strategy with this kind of recovery, isn't it possible to regenerate allowance automatically?
