  • Hmm. The next step would be to run siad from the command line, then run the siac commands siac wallet init-seed and siac wallet unlock. init-seed will take a while but hopefully succeed. After that, unlock will also take a while, but siad will print out the current block height as it's unlocking, so you can monitor its progress.

    If you aren't comfortable using the command line, I suggest that you either try the load seed command or simply wait for the next release. I am currently working on some changes to the wallet that may help you. It may also be worth a shot to delete your current Sia folder and try again. Finally, the wallet may not work well if your system is low on RAM (<4 GB).

    Bro, i dont understand what is going on, my wallet finally unlocked using my seed and it is a different wallet with 0 balance (my balance is 25K+) and a different receive adress ....

    After unlocking i clicked again on recover using seed and it shows error:cannot delete primary seed or smthing like that ...

    Why didnt my account get recovered and why is this a new accounnt?

    @nemo Ok so i have another really big problem .... I can see my balance now on my new pc but the problem is EVERY TIME i click on RECEIVE SIACOIN button, to show my SIA receive adress, it shows a DIFFERENT adress ecerytime i click on it .

    Is this normal ? As a result i tried to withdraw my 20K sia from poloniex and i lost them cause it wasnt the correct sia address !!!!
    Should i click only once on this button or ???

  • It's normal to get a new address each time. All those addresses belong to your wallet and you can receive coins on any of them all the time. See some info here: https://siawiki.tech/wallet/using_the_wallet

    What do you mean with lost 20k coins? If they have not arrived at your wallet yet please check if your wallet is fully synced or if there is a withdrawal error on polo side. Polo had some problems sending coins lately... If you see a sending error on polo side, you need to open a ticket there.

    @nemo thank you so much, I was finally able to restore my wallet with this.
    Is there a way to set a custom password/passphrase when restoring a seed with init-seed?
    Also why does Sia-UI corrupt so easily? Often it freezes and doesn't want to close and when I kill it it's as if the program damaged after that as the syncing doesn't appear in the top right corner and none of the buttons work. I have resorted to keeping a copy of all the files that I copy over if it corrupts haha.
    Thanks again for the instructions, don't know what I would have done with your post.
