if you didnt use a backup/virgin copy of your wallet.dat then the orphans will stay logged in your wallet.dat from the other client. just ignore it or you can export the privkeys and import into a new wallet.dat to clean it up.
you will not lose any coins, and will be able to restake the "orphans" by leaving it open.
I just tried to export privkeys and import into a new wallet and i thought I had backed up my wallet.dat yesterday
I am a noob and it turns out it was an old backup of my wallet.dat, does this mean that any coins i sent to addresses generated after the backup are gone forever?
i'm not sure what you mean. i was meaning the PoS orphans that stay in teh wallet.dat. the blockchain doesnt record those, but they stay in the wallet.dat making oversized and cluttered. you use the method above, or revert to an older wallet (that contains the same addresses) as way to clean it out. Any coins you have sent will at the address you sent them to.
nevermind, i just deleted my wallet.dat because i thought i had it backed up and lost 15k cinni to the abyss...i feel like the turbo king of stupid right now
noooooo, you poor poor *******
