Yesterday I imported an old wallet and the balance imported was fine. Then I closed the DigitalNote Wallet 1.01-beta and reopened it and the balance was zero. I said to myself nevermind I'll reimport my old wallet when I need it.
Well next thing I also mined a few XDNs yesterday and after that closed the wallet. Today I opened the wallet again and the balance is zero.
Upon closing it says "DigitalNote is saving data".
Obviously that's not the case so what's going on here?
Can you please provide some addition information.
First i must ask if you are importing old .wallet file or old .keys file.
There is NO compatibility between old .wallet file and new .wallet file, because old wallet and new wallet = 2 different XDN clients. Like Bitcoin has native QT and lots of other type of clients. . wallet file in case of DigitalNote contains your private key + some additional information, like your outgoing transfers, or messages transfers. Remember. XDN messages can only be decrypted by recipient, in case you as a sender will not save your outgoing messages, you can`t backup it from .keys, only from .wallet. So sender actually can only remember, but if forget, never can backup his message, while recipient can read his message (or incoming transaction) any time he can connect to blockchain, because messages are in blockchain, but encrypted with the state-of-the-art cryptography.
But .keys file contain only your private key and is and will always be cross platform and you will be able to import it in any client. You private key is all you need to operate DigitalNote.
The way to migrate across different clients is just to import your .keys file and to wait until sync.
So i ask you, if you imported your old .keys file or your old .wallet file?
Much appreciate any bug reports, remember XDN is open source and is still in Beta, it works good, but lots of thing to be done and any bug or use case report will be very useful.
I "File\Open Wallet" myoldwallet, not "File\Import Key"
Here's what it did. Even if the old and new wallets are not compatible the new Client read my old wallet just fine. The balance and everything was correct. I had no new wallet, I just had the old wallet from the previous Client. After doing the "Open Wallet" command it was fine until closing the new Client.
Anyways, fast forward, I just did "Import private key" and everything is fine even after closing the Client.
Edit: WTF. After 3 times closing/opening the client the balance is zero again.
