Topic: Help, I think i lost some BTC - page 2. (Read 1515 times)
I will try that, it was a new address, its not in this wallet's address book :\
Are my coins gone forever?
Probably not, but the transaction should have appeared there. Try starting bitcoin with the -rescan option.
Next question if the above doesn't work: Did you send the coins to a newly generated address or one that was already on your wallet?
So I had a backup of my wallet file on a USB key. The other day I cashed out of my mining pool so I put a copy of the wallet.dat on the computer and transfered the coins to it, I then left the wallet.dat of my harddrive(didn't back this version up to USB). Fast forward a week and I bought a new harddrive, so I decided to install windows on it and format my old drive.
I did this thinking as long as I had the wallet.dat file on the USB stick that the bitcoin client would catch up on my latest transactions and that there was no need to continuously make backups everytime i send/recieve coins.
So I get everything up and running on my fresh install of windows, copy over the wallet.dat from the usb stick. To my horror the last transation, the cashout from my mining pool is not shown in the transactions window of the bitcoin client D:
