Load wallet no balance showing (v.1.2.1 OSX)



  • hi, i tried (windows version) and nothing, it gave's me the same problem



    1. You must turn off sia (quit in tray icon)
    2. rename wallet folder in app data %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Sia-UI\sia\
    3. run sia v1.2.2
    4. click "Load a wallet from a seed"

    It didn't work because you were importing the seed to the wallet created from the same seed.



  • Another solution for this problem, that generates a new seed and transfers your coins into that seed:

    1. Enter wallet init --force in Terminal
    2. Save this seed (it's where your funds will be recovered to)
    3. Go back to the wallet, unlock
    4. Use Recover Seed


  • Hello,

    I initially sent some Sia to my UI wallet from Polo, and it showed up within a day. I sent more to the same wallet (but different address) and now the the blockchain explorer doesn't recognize the transaction, even though Polo says it was sent. Have I not waited long enough, or am I missing something?



  • Same problem with me. Meanwhile I did an update to v.1.2.2 but there is still no balance in the account.

    Could anybody provide a step by step instruction, without creating new seeds?

    @stealthx: could not find "%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Sia-UI\sia" on maxOS (Sierra)

    Thanks, Peter



  • @crypto_pete on MacOS the location is ~/Library/Application Support/Sia-UI/sia



  • @stealthx so you mean i should download all blockchain again?!



  • You don't have to delete blockchain if syncing is running.



  • @stealthx you told me o rename the folder, so if he doesn't see the folder he will download blockchain again, or not



  • In the wallet folder is only wallet. You don't have to rename anything else. Blockchain is in the consensus folder.



  • @stealthx o damn it, you're right didn't read well.. sorry,, i'm trying "scanning the blockchain", i'll let you know! thanks



  • ok, i can see my balance now, i used the 1.2.2 patch on the 1.2.2 beta

    can i delete the previously renamed wallet folder? there is a wallet file inside it with a 1gb file..



  • Yes, renaming was only insurance. You only need to have seed backup for recovering SC.
