Title: Samourai wallet - all transactions (and BTC) lost?
Post by: Atrax on February 13, 2018, 03:17:08 PM
Hi all, using Samourai-wallet since a while. Today, I transfered 0.3 BTC. When I wanted to check if the transaction went through, the wallet showed 0 BTC as a balance (and no - I still had something in my wallet) and did not show any transaction.

I restarted the wallet on my Android mobile. Same result.

Restarted the mobile - same result.

Eventually, I recovered the wallet with the mnemonic words - same result. No transaction showed, no balance available anymore. So I decided to deinstall the wallet, install it again, recovering it with the mnemonic - same result. Has anybody an idea what else I could do not only to regain my Bitcoin, but to see the transaction history? (And yes - I also restored with the last backup - no luck so far....)

I'm not really familiar with Samourai wallet but I tried them a long time ago but I just uninstalled it then. In your case are you sure that you send those 0.3 BTC in a correct wallet address of yours? and its a part of your Samourai wallet? Maybe you can post the address here or try to check it manually in https://blockchain.info, just search your wallet address on the site if there's still a balance and no outgoing transaction happened.

That's the sort of thing that happens when the nodes your SPV wallet is running against have issues... indeed, it would appear that the Samourai service was having some issues the last couple of days: https://twitter.com/SamouraiWallet/status/963421677018378241

They claim that service is back to normal, is your wallet back up and running OK now?

If its still not loading yet you can recover it to other wallet
check this samourai wallet article here https://support.samourai.io/article/7-importing-a-wallet-from-another-app

There are other wallet that you can use to recover your wallet from samourai wallet.. i can only suggest electrum as safest wallet and use the mnemonic seed and restore check if you can see all of your transaction history and bitcoin.. Then if its still there you are lucky now transfer it to new wallet for safety just to make sure your bitcoin are safe if ever samourai turn into scam..
