Bah, all sorted. There was a space in the address (combined address/ID kinda thing). All sorted now, ocminer reimbursed, happy days! All I lost was some transaction fees... Tongue

PS: Ocminer is a great guy. Have set my DCR miner to donate 3% until further notice. Y'all go mine on Suprnova! Smiley

Ok, as an update, I was able to retrieve the coins by clearing the cache of the wallet (deleting the wallet.bin file). Upon restart, it re-synced the cache and whoohey, the coins were automagically showing up.

Brilliant. Now I want to send those coins back to ocminer BUUUUUUT... The send button is greyed out. So is the resolve button. Not a single chance to send any coins anywhere.

WTF is wrong with this wallet? It's cache is synced, the blockchain is synced (even the daemon says so when I run it separately).

What can I do?

EDIT: it won't even let me add the address to the address book...  Huh Angry

I really don't know what went wrong there but you are very lucky to have such a kind pool operator that credited back your amount of funds. All I can advice here is to ALWAYS first send small amounts to your wallets first (especially if it's a new one) and then transfer the full amount after the first transaction got through.
I know, I have mined on suprnova since 2014 and always been very happy with ocminer, so I am not targeting the pool in any way.
I'm trying to get to the bottom of the issue, really. The pool does not allow you to withdraw a small amount to test with so I had to go with a full cash-out. Happy it got refunded...

Next I will cash-out to an exchange wallet and from there try to transfer a small amount to my local wallet again (I will delete the cache file first and see if it makes a difference). If that fails I'll have to create a new wallet and try again... and hope the operator over at nanopool will be as nice as ocminer...

@Febo: if the old keys are the cause of the problem, I assume I'll have no way around creating a new wallet. But this seems like the most plausible scenario/explanation.

If you are able to open your old wallet I dont think there can be any problems.   But I do remember at some point they said, that old keys will not be supported with new binaries, that you will need to have something else to be able to open them.  Latter on everyone had mnemonic seeds and those give no problems.
I saw you asked on stackexchange what will give you perfect answer soon. Fastest would be for you to ask on IRC slack telegram.

I dont really understand what you did.  I am not miner so dont know that much how pools works.  You cash  it out, but you somehow  failed to send and you got your XMR back?   
Dont understand where is here problem. 
When you installed new GUI you should just make new wallet and put this wallet address into your pool and withdraw.  No need for payment ID.
Yeah, basically something fukked up when I withdrew from the pool to my wallet. I am not sure if the transaction failed (and the pool operator credited the amount back out of goodwill) or didn't happen at all for whatever reason. Could the fact I was using an old, imported wallet into the new gui have caused the issue? The pool operator did not give me any more detail. The issue is I've been mining towards that same address using another pool (Nanopool) but haven't reached the minimum threshold for auto-payout yet. If I keep mining and reach it, I'm afraid the transaction will fail again.

Are there any known compatibility issues with old wallets?

Hi
over the weekend I installed the newest XMR gui wallet (windows 10) and imported my old (2014) wallet file into it. Daemon synced over the weekend, all looked good.

Yesterday night I decided to cash out mining proceeds from suprnova and sent these to my local wallet address. 15 hours later, it still hadn't appeared. Ocminer was nice enough to credit the failed cash-out transaction back to my pool account, but I am still at loss in regards to what happened.

Why didn't that transaction go through? I'm mining on nanopool as well currently and would hate to have the same happen to me there. Is my old wallet not compatible anymore? Have I done something wrong? Should I have generated a payment ID in the wallet before I sent a cash out request on suprnova?

Would appreciate any help on the matter!

Many thanks
