Hello everyone, I have another issue that I would like some input on.
My wallet wasn't syncing, I tried to send coins, then fixed the wallet according to instructions earlier in this thread. I was missing the coins I tried to send so I selected "repair wallet", my coins returned and my orphaned stakes vanished. All appeared well, however I am still missing 9,000 coins that I had not tried to send because I had received them after the point where my wallet stopped syncing.
Sorry if that explanation seems a bit hard to follow but I wanted to include all the information. Where are my other 9,000 coins?
It could definitely be from coins that stakes on the wrong chain. So you got the reward but it doesn't really count on the main chain. Check the block explorer and see what your balance is there. If the balances don't match then try exporting your privkey and importing it to a fresh wallet.dat
Good thinking, I didn't think to check a block explorer. The balances
do match. So my coins staked on a "wrong chain" and I have no way to recover them? What does that mean and was it my fault?
I appreciate the response.
The part that Presstab didn't address: Odds are it's not your fault
It's unfortunately one of the hazards of block chain based currencies, and especially after the recent hard fork. If you were a bit late updating, it could happen, or it could have happened before the update without your knowledge. On the plus side, as Presstab mentioned, you really lost nothing but some time. Those blocks will still stake on the main chain, no reset on their age. In the long run, it's all good. It does suck in the short run, though, and I speak from experience.
