Title: Bitcoins Somehow LOST in the Network??? Post by: agentgreen420 on July 06, 2011, 02:43:21 AM Okay, so dont ask me why, but I got it into my head that I should transfer my coins from my original wallet to a newly created wallet on the same hard drive.
So, I back up my wallet and put the new one in %APPDATA%\Bitcoin. I open the client and note the address that shows up for this new wallet. Then I backup the new wallet and restore the orginal one back into %APPDATA%\Bitcoin. I open the client, see my bitcoin balance, then continue to initiate a transfer to the address noted earlier. I allow the transaction to accumulate over 50 confirmations.. I then once again switch my wallet file. But when I open the client with the new wallet after the transfer, there is no transaction and a zero balance. I have two screenshots: http://tinypic.com/r/2yy85fq/7 http://tinypic.com/r/10nt7xe/7 I've lost my entire BTC investment... PLEASE HELP!!!! Title: Re: Bitcoins Somehow LOST in the Network??? Post by: theymos on July 06, 2011, 02:47:45 AM Run Bitcoin with the -rescan switch and it'll detect the transaction. You must do this every time you switch wallet files.
