Title: Somehow lost 1000 PPC. Please help to restore.
Post by: xoralex on April 13, 2013, 04:49:07 AM
Hello 

I've sent 1000 PPC from one wallet to another. Both wallets are mine. Money left the first wallet, but never arrived to the second one. How can I get my money? What possibly went wrong?

Transaction details:
Status: 235 confirmations
Date: 4/8/2013 14:33
To: to home PBT8bDuzi4TKWH2UyeSR5uT13vaFtpqcSd
Debit: -999.99 PPC
Transaction fee: -0.01 PPC
Net amount: -1000.00 PPC
Transaction ID: 1fdb79c6dd858a52870c323837d44099358864d0f3ecdda63b0eb9fe70cafdc5


What I've done:
1) Installed ppcoin-0.3.0-win32-setup.exe software
2) Transferred 1000 PPC from exchange to local wallet
3) Encrypted the wallet (let's call it wallet A)
4) Saw a "Minting suspended due to locked wallet" message, so decided to transfer money to a new unencrypted wallet
5) Quit the PPCoin program. Renamed the wallet A to "11wallet.dat", so a new wallet got created.
6) Copied a receive address from new wallet PBT8bDuzi4TKWH2UyeSR5uT13vaFtpqcSd
7) Renamed "wallet.dat" to "22wallet.dat"
 Renamed "11wallet.dat" to "wallet.dat", so basically I switched to old wallet with 1000 ppc in it.
9) Sent money from old wallet to a new wallet's address PBT8bDuzi4TKWH2UyeSR5uT13vaFtpqcSd
10) Switched back to new wallet, but did not see an incoming transaction

After that I've tried to send smaller amounts back and force between two wallets, including to the very same address, and they all were successful.

Please see screenshots of transactions bellow.
Old wallet. 1000 PPC sent.

New wallet. 1000 PPC never received

I've found how to view blockchain http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com:2750/address/PBT8bDuzi4TKWH2UyeSR5uT13vaFtpqcSd
Everything looks fine, but why I don't see these money on my local wallet balance in PPCoin Wallet software? Is there any other way I can transfer those PPC to another address?

PStone, as PPCoin Wallet is a fork it can run same commands as Bitcoin's.

How much are PPC coins worth each?
