Why i lose coins (simplified explanation)
1 : you receive shares , you mine the block and get the reward
2 : another ppl receive the same shares and mine the block too and get the reward too.
3 : when the blockchain is reorganized the fastest miner keeps the reward and balances are updated (for the slowest miner, the block is orphaned)
This is due to latency and extreme fast time block ( during the launch).
hello I lost all the coins to move from the old to the new portfolio some way to recover thanks if you help me I give you a high reward
Did you make a copy of your wallet?
Copy the contents in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Soil\keystore , then put that copy in the new wallet in the new machine.
USER= login/username credentials
Old hand:
1) Doubleclick "delete_SOIL_folder.bat" to delete the test-net SOIL folder (important)
2) Doubleclick "new_account.bat" - Set a password. The window should be closing automatically.
3) Doubleclick "soil.bat"
4) (optional) Doubleclick "SOILsafe.bat" for our Gui Wallet
doing so will erase all apart on the old purse was no folder keystore
hi there. was reading thru your posts from today, about the issue with your wallet. im trying to understand the problem that occurred. as far as i understand things, you had to reinstall teh main net package, and didnt back up the keystore file in your, if you are using windows, users/USER/appdata/roaming/soil/keystore file folder?
there SHOULD have been a post detailing what to do beforehand in case of such emergencies, regarding how to safeguard your coins in that event, which is actually somewhat relevant to any cryptocoin you work with.... and thats something we'll be adding to the FAQ on the website to prevent others from suffering a similar fate in the future.
but i was wondering if youd managed to get anything straightened away? looking thru the explorer, the wallet address you provided me still has 5000SOIL listed for it, so im a little confused.... did you reinstall SOIL after id sent you your capped testnet mining bounty?
you mentioned your friend also lost their balance of SOIL as well, if you dont mind, have them PM me their wallet address so that i can investigate this further.
there WAS a keystore folder in the appropriate (referrenced above) location, although im not familiar with MAC or linux iterations of the wallet and keystore storage there, but i changed over from main net to test net several times in the week leading up to our launch, to test the official mining pool that we are still working on, to test the faucet we have set up and are just adjusting the dispersal time limits right now (dispersment will be set at 0.05 SOIL) and i never had issues finding or backing up my keystore wallet from one net to the other to keep them separated.
might there be a program you can download to assist with undelete where you might find the keystore files that seem to have been lost? since the deletion of the main net wallet only occured recently, its unlikely your system would have written over the data by now, so there might still be a way to retrieve them. the coins ARE there, in the wallet address you provided me.
i seem to remember reading something in the command line options for geth (that would also apply to gsoil) about importing wallets, and with the wallet address and your password there, you should be able to retrieve it in gsoil. ill look into it, just need a bit more information from you and your friend before i can investigate what we can do for you any further.
