Some say he eats Leprechauns for breakfast and others say he once battled the tooth fairy. All we know for sure is he's called Chaositec!  Grin

I've been working with CHAOSiTEC for the last 45 minutes or so. I don't have them yet, but we're working on it.

He's been very helpful. I'm quite appreciative.

Edit: Also an honest guy. He could have stolen all my coins.

I've got to be up early tmrw...but I have a bad feeling about this.

How the fuck did this happen.  Darkcoin devs??

Always make a backup of your wallet after you have all the blocks downloaded, keep it in several places...and dont copy it while the client is running!

You can make a backup of your wallet while the wallet is running IF you  use that function from the menu.  Anyway, you said above that you had the old wallet.dat file, so if you do, make a copy, name it wallet.dat and open up your .Darkcoin file which should be located C:/User/yourname/AppData/Roaming/.DarkCoin and replace the wallet.dat in there with the one you saved earlier.

Did you get your coins???

Literally had just downloaded the wallet, hadn't backedup yet. However I have a wallet.dat file. Let's even say that that file doesn't have the coins on it, still it should be associated with my first address.

Somehow that wallet.dat file mysteriously changed from being associated with one address to another....




If I can't get it.....is there anyway someone can, idk hack into the address somehow?

When I go to properties of my wallet.dat I see this:

-Created: Yesterday, ‎February ‎26, ‎2014, ‏‎10:48:06 PM

-Modified: Yesterday, ‎February ‎26, ‎2014, ‏‎11:51:19 PM

10:48 sounds about the time I originally downloaded the wallet
11:51 sounds about the time I encrypted my wallet.

I think I have the wallet.dat to the new address. How did encrypting my wallet change the fucking wallet.dat file??

sorry, no idea about windows
sounds strange though , specially as the wallet is now NOT encrypted after you did it !!??
you have no back up of your original wallet ?

Idk if I do or not.

Literally this is what i did (all within like 1-2 hours):
-Downloaded Wallet
-Traded .55 btc for 425 DRK on Poloniex
-Withdrew DRK to my QT wallet
-Encrypted wallet
-re-opened it to find no coins, new address, not encrypted

I have a wallet.dat file....idk if its from my original wallet though? How can I test that out?

Not sure if just anyone can access this, but I've started a darkcoin wikipedia page. I haven't submitted the initial draft for review yet - I would appreciate edits, corrections, or feedback from the community to make sure I have everything in here correctly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/DarkCoin

If the link doesn't work, I can try posting the entire page in here for input. Smiley

you should introduce everything with the affiliation to BTC. and explain it in brief detail in your lower section. I'm guessing upper section of definition is still in progress.

Too bad they don't accept BTC xD

I hope you get your coins back.....  but dude why on earth would you do something requiring a restart of your client in the middle of confirming 400+ coins lol.



Wth....can someone help me. I bout 425 Darkcoins at poloniex and sent them to my wallet which i just downloaded a few hours ago.

Then as i saw the incoming transaction i encrypted my wallet. Then the wallet closed (which it had to) and when I opened it back up my coins weren't there. ....so I figured I'd let it sync. So it is synced and I have no coins nor any transaction history??

Help please

It shouldn't matter tho. I sent coins from one address to another. The transaction went through. What confuses me is why after encrpyting my wallet and reopening it I find a new address that is unecrypted.

Yeah that's very strange.  Clearly a whole new wallet.  Did you notice if it downloaded the whole blackchain from the start when you opened it again, showing the new wallet address?

^I have no backup. This all happened very quickly.

Fuck, man, I'm worried now, how does this happen.

Would my wallet.dat file be able to help me? When I originally downloaded the wallet obviously that got downloaded. Maybe that is connected to my 1st address, the one with the coins.

How would I go about using that to get to the address?

Hm...there it is. And that was my wallet address. Now when I open my wallet it's a diff address and not encrypted. How do I get to the other address?

how do i rescan the wallet?

Thanks guys

I'm no expert, but it sounds like you have a new wallet (as your address is different).  Like you just set it up on a new PC or something. Very strange.  I hope for your sake you have a backup of your wallet. (I'd like to think that a backup before you sent your coins might be okay, as at least it's your correct address, but I'm not sure.

I hope others can help you more.
