Hi I apologize but I am still greatly confused on how to get my coins to the new 0.4 wallets without losing any coins.  So I first download the wallet and when I unlock it it has a list of words for me to write down.  Do I need to make any additional passwords?

If I then import my legacy wallet from 0.3 you are saying that all those coins aren't in the backup? I don't think that is clear to users and will cause more people to lose coins.  How can I get all my coins into the new 0.4.6 wallet that are all backed up by the seed? And in addition I should also backup the wallet.json file and the list of words?

I'd also like to request that mac builds be released when windows and linux are.  Last time there was a big release and price shot up the mac download wasn't working.  And right now the 0.4.6 mac download when I unzip it is just the old 0.4.4 release.  I'm a mac user please don't forget about me!

Thanks
newbie

Ya know, I might spend more time mucking around with the 20 different ways I can "monkey" my $500 TROUBLE-FREE router...
But your project has such a long history of serious bugs that the risk/benefit is negatively skewed by orders of magnitude...
I've tried 2-3 different things and may have forwarded port 9982 correctly... and it still won't "announce"... who knows?

What exactly are the errors you are having?

Most crypto projects don't require you to forward ports because they don't have users that need to open connections with you. For most crypto projects, it's okay if nobody can initiate connections with you because you can just initiate connections with them. On Sia however, hosting requires other users to be able to initiate connections with you. The hosting part makes Sia special in terms of it's requirements for port forwarding. You don't need to mess with the router if you aren't going to be a host.

This is a problem that turns up sometimes on pol; you need to contact support and they'll reset the transaction. You shouldn't have lost anything.

Trying to import wallet.dat 4.4.6 from 3.3.3 asks for a password.
3.3.3 was not locked and a password is needed Huh
Have you synced 4.6 all the way and then unlocked the new wallet first (and generated a password), then try importing legacy wallet.

However with the fork, I am not sure if legacy wallet 3.3.3 will import as it would before the fork... just some thoughts  Smiley

unlocked asks password? What should I enter a password? I did not set any passwords.
If I have to create a password, it is still not recognized.
Thanks for the help
I think by default the password is the same as the seed phrase.
It's a long list of random words.

someone have problems with syncing 0.4.7 ?

yes. stoped syncing, and restart give an error: "siad exited with code:0" and not sync.


same here!

Yep, same here. Try clearing out the Sia-UI-v0.4.7-beta-win64\resources\app\Sia\consensus\consensus.db and restarting. I couldn't be bothered waiting for it to resync and managed to copy the version I had from the 0.4.4 wallet and it was compatible with 0.4.7.

edit: i'm on windows 8.1

There's also a few people on slack experiencing the same issue, while the devs look into a fix here's a windows consensus.db from snake on slack http://pixeldra.in/u/hy_OeF extract the .zip then place the file within your consensus subfolder of sia
