LTC In Limbo #36

Closed Joannou1 closed 8 years ago

Joannou1 commented 8 years ago

I recently restored an old backup of a crashed drive and tried to open my default_wallet file with the latest release (2.6.4.2). Unfortunately, it seems horribly broken in the sense that all the transactions appear as "0.". I checked my address and see that I have 135 LTC in there, but Electrum shows 0.

If I start it up again after copying the default_wallet file, it says that the wallet is in watching-only mode. I don't know what to do, are these coins gone for good?

It's worth noting, the wallet I am restoring was last used on 1.9.8.6 on Windows 7. I tried with that version on my laptop, and the program immediately closes, same on win 10.

Please try restoring your wallet from seed.

I found a slightly older backup that restored correctly without the need for a seed. All is well with the world.

Not sure what was up with that other wallet file though...
