Update wallet and re-download blockchain
and where do i find the blockchain?
- copy your wallet.dat (very important!) some where safe.
- delete your .Cashcoin folder in your home directory
- install the latest version of the wallet
- run the wallet application once
- close the wallet application (dont wait for 'sync')
- copy the wallet.dat from your backup back to where it was before (overwrite)
- open the wallet and let it 'sync' and your balances should be restored as expected.
("sync"ing is actually redownloading the blockchain from your peers).
this *should* fix it.
Thanks for explaining. I did all of the above and get this:
sound like a corrupt wallet somehow.
is the wallet trying to sync etc ? or has it fully synced ? or its not even going to try ?
i dont use the windows client myself but the linux command-line daemon, so i don't know about that error specifically though the process is the same on all systems.
hmm, googling that error shows some pretty bad scenarios of others having to use pywallet and fixwallet python scripts (for bitcoin/litecoin), but afaik no such tools exist for CASH ... yet.
not sure what to try from here
cant suggest enough that everyone keep periodic backups of their wallet.dat files (not overwrites!) from different dates for these kinds of issues.
