Ok, so I have downloaded the new XC program and have transferred the X11 wallet.dat file into the new app folder(XC). It is showing the transactions from the prior program but my balance is not there... Where should I be looking for that? When the prior wallet(x11) stopped synching it was showing the coins as 'staking.' What should I do know and where should I look for the coins?
Thanks
When you transfer an old wallet.dat to a new wallet, it still has your transaction history bookmarked, hence why you see that and not your balance. Once the blockchain download catches up to where in line you got your coins, they will show up. Pretty much you just have to let the blockchain download and then your coins will show up or at least in my experience that is how I comprehend it.
Ok. That's what I was thinking too but so far the new XC wallet program is all synched up but coins are not appearing in my balance... Does it have anything to do with the 'staking' function? I'm all synched up looking at the transaction history that is correct and looking at a zero balance...
Any all all help is appreciated, thank you.
I am not familiar with mac wallet, but if you backed up ur wallet.dat correctly before doing all that, dont worry just keep it safe.
XC wallet has been revamped from X11 to XC, that meaning that the app folder(which I repeat I do not know how it is named or where it is in mac), must be deleted because it will no loger work. Your new wallet creates a new XC folder, in which you have to re-past ur wallet.dat and .conf file. In the dowloaded wallet there should be a .conf provided by atsecure. Once the blockhain syncs again, ur coins will be there, staking or not. If you are running into problems, I think the -repairwallet function was really helpful for a lot of people here, just search it in this topic(upper right corner)
Ok. I did back up my wallet.dat correctly as far as I know. I went into 'file' and 'backup wallet' in the previous wallet and created multiple backups stored in different places but why when I put my backed up wallet into the new 'XC' wallet program is it not recognizing my coins? Does it have anything to do that they were 'staking' when the prior "X11" stop synching? In regard to that, can I use the previous "x11" wallet and synch with the prior wallet somehow? In that particular wallet my coins are shown in there but as I have said they are shown as 'staking.'
I can try the -repairwallet function but really don't know exactly what to do with it...
thanks for your input
edit: I am also not showing a .conf file in my download once I unzip the download file all that comes up is the new wallet program.
edit2: I ran the 'repairwallet' command in the old "X11" wallet and got this back >>
"wallet check passed" : true
EDIT3: OK. SEEMS LIKE I HAVE SOLVED THE ISSUE. RAN THE 'REPAIRWALLET' COMMAND WITHIN THE NEW 'XC' WALLET AND IT RECOGNIZED THE MISMATCHED COINS. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP FORUM!!!
