sure if i get my coins back i will send some coins your way for the help

ease us recovery did show files but they required the membership to recover plus i couldnt find the wallet.dat file. there was a wallet.dat file when i searched wallet.dat but the type was a shortcut

il wait for your pm tomorrow

If you can wait until tomorrow I can help you. I have to run out the door in a few minutes. this is my area of expertise. Don't run anything that writes to the disk!

What will happen with the AEON i have on poloniex when the fork is online?

i had to reinstall windows 7 normally  the files on the previous version are copied when windows 7 is installed but the installation was unsuccessful. when i restarted the pc the system would not load. bought new drive musing sata cable to read from hard drive. the files were deleted in preparation for the new installation that is why i cannot browse the files normally

i recovered files using easeus recovery software but it said scan complete at 80%

the mnemonic keys were also stored in the pc as document,. i know silly but was lazy.

want to try a new software which is better as if i have to pay rather pay once and reading the HD takes more than day too.

@ancientcoins: if you are an experimented user in file management and partitioning (= you easily navigate in a directory tree and you know how to identify a partition), give a try at TestDisk. Not the best user-friendly but very, very powerfull. it never disappointed me.

[edit] i forgot: don't use anymore the damaged disk to not increase the data loss. boot from another disk or from a cd-rom, a usb key. you must not write on the damaged disk, only read.

do you have the seed words written on paper?
If that's the case, there is no isue in recovering

if not, where are they stored?

don't know if you need recovery software. What happened to your laptop?
if you take out the HD, there exists cables to attach it to another PC so your HD looks like a USB device and you can browse all your files.

could you recommend a good recovery software that has best chance of getting these files recovered

thanks

Ah, okay never mind.

This was for ancientcoins not you 

I have all of the old PMs, but I don't really understand the question. PM me to follow up on this.


Start the wallet with --restore-deterministic-wallet and it will ask you for the seed words, and then it will recreate the files and recover the coins.

Status update and short term plans

Obviously we have the hard fork coming up in about one week with the mainstream CPU and mobile-friendly PoW.

There have been discussions with exchanges, so I do expect the coin to be listed for trading soon (either before or after the hard fork, I'm not sure).

Here is the short term roadmap for the next two versions (there may be incremental bug fix releases in between, along with additional minor features included with each release or as intermediate feature releases):

Version 0.10.0.0

Local blockchain pruning (light full nodes). On systems with limited resources (RAM and/or HD) you will be able to run a full node without storing an archive of the entire chain. This comes with no reduction in security -- you will still be validating the entire chain, but not storing it. Your node will be able to forward blocks and transactions, support wallets with full node security, and even mine. The only thing it won't be able to do is serve old blocks over the p2p to brand new users (it will still serve recent blocks to other users who are syncing after a limited amount of time offline). Brand new users or those offline for an extended period can use a bootstrap, or they can still sync over the p2p by connecting to archive nodes (full nodes that are not running in light mode).

Version 1.0.0.0

Cryptonote GUI integration (some preliminary work on this is already done).

Following version 1.0.0.0, we will move to the more on to the longer-term roadmap items, including the SPV client model, and finally the multisig, simple contract scripts, payment channels, and global blockchain pruning.

Although not presently on the roadmap, I would like to at some point see actual mobile wallets, which could work either as SPV clients or as light full nodes. For that to realistically happen, we'll have to see how things go with funding for the project and/or expansion of the core team.

aeond.exe shows up but its a compressed zip file.

Do you remember the above? It was in a pm between us 3 months ago 

il try another recovery software as when it reached to 80% it said scan completed.

how do i restore wallet with mnemonic  words

If you are going to go this route what you need to recover are the .keys file (often wallet.dat.keys). The wallet.dat file is just a cache and it gets recreated if deleted or missing.

As discussed on the thread an easier recovery is the mnemonic words if you have them.

i see two wallet files when i enter wallet.dat on search but the file type is shortcuts, im guessing those are just links. but good thing you reminded me about the mnemonic words. not sure if i saved them but if i have it will be on hard drive in documents folder.

If you wrote down your mnemonic seed words when you initially created your wallet, you can use them to restore the wallet.

Otherwise, if one file recovery tool can't find your wallet.dat, try another. Even when a tool can see the file (or its attributes), it can't always recover it.

Don't pay for anything unless the initial scan can at least verify the file exists. You don't have to pay for anything, really..

a few weeks back i did a reinstall of my windows 7 which was unsuccessful and this lead to my files being deleted on it where my aeon coins. ive used ease us to view the files on my hard drive but i do not know which is the wallet file. it gives me cpp and h files amongst others.
it says i need to buy the license to recover it. i dont mind paying as long as the wallet.dat file is recovered and my coins moved from the address

when i type in search wallet.dat two files show up but the type is shortcut and when i type aeon the zp files show up not the folder

Glad to hear that exciter0! We're happy to help if any new issues should pop up.

My issue with simplewallet has resolved. It might have been the mix of 0.8 daemon and 0.9 simplewallet, or maybe it was 0.9 daemon and 0.8 simplewallet. Anyway, I let both the wallet.bin and blockchain.bin rebuild with 0.9 binaries and all fine now.
