I tried the private key dump and i says Private key for address is not known (code -4)


That is because you no longer have the wallet.dat associated with that address.

You need to find out if your AV or something else quarantined that wallet.dat file.

Otherwise... if you lost that file... you lost those coins.

no error code, it closed while coins unconfirmed and when re-opened I have new address and no coins..

Post you Debug logs.


Is it possible, you didn't get enough confirms before you close the wallet and the blocks got orphaned

Getting error. Same as above. Any advice?

What is your error?

It doesn;t work that way... if a block orphans... it is in the chain... independent of the wallet where the coin's privkey is held.
I understand that. Just doin some poking,to see what the reply would be. Don't sound like were getting all the information. At some point an error would have popped up.  It wouldn't just replace your wallet.dat without notification or evidence.

Sorry playing Detective.

It would if an AV or other security application killed it... I see this with Norton all the time... never a pop up just a log of killing a process and then quarantining the files... makes it look like it all got deleted. Used to happen on some of the PCs I used to have mining a long time ago... the CPUMiner folder would suddenly be empty and the only notice I would get was from the pool that the miner went offline. Had to make security exceptions on every single machine for that folder and the files to keep it from happening daily.

that is a different story then... sounds like it crashed and burned... or your antivirus scrubbed it and new files were created.

Note to self: Don't close my wallet.  xD

More importantly, BACKUP your wallet!

+1


You are both stupid lol... not trying to be mean about it but thats not the problem... all the wallet holds is your privkeys and some records to match the blockchain... the only thing backing up the wallet does is make sure you do not lose your wallet keys.

Try this...

in the CONSOLE... (Help > Debug window > Console Tab) type the following... substituting you BitcoinDark address where the coins were received...

Code:
dumpprivkey AddressGoesHere12345

Copy down that privkey that is displayed to a notepad for now.

Close your wallet... go to the folder where the wallet.dat is and make a New Folder. Move wallet.dat, blk0001.dat, the database folder and the txleveldb folder into this New Folder. Now relaunch the wallet and it will remake new versions of all of these that you moved... essentially a clean, new wallet and a clean blockchain.

Now, go to the Console again, and type this...

Code:
importprivkey PasteTheKeyFromNotepadHere

This will import all the transactions for your wallet address where you received coins... if there was a problem with your initial wallet and the blockchain that made it look like you lost coins... this would ensure you are seeing everything that the blockchain ever showed going to that wallet.

In case you need to undo this... simply make another New Folder 2 and name it something else... doesnt matter, close the wallet, and move the same files and folders into it, and then replace the ones from the first New Folder into the main folder then launch the wallet again... it is now bck to the exact way it was before you began.
