Title: Please help this idiot
Post by: Mendozer on September 24, 2014, 12:34:56 PM
Folks I had up until a we minutes ago run a single address on the very handy mycelium app.

About 10 minutes ago I prep to do a deposit and notice I don't have any BTC - strange??
Looks also like my friend saved wallet details are gone too- wtf
After 10 minutes I click that the address being shown on the main screen is NOT my wallet.
I have no idea how it got there but I keep pottering around.
Eventually. Decide to confirm my wallet address from elsewhere and manually enter it into the interface
I do this and WHAM my wallet is back, together with my BTC totals, although saved contacts are gone.
I have another closer look and I have to send button disabled.

Please can someone explain how the easiest way to remedy this might be.
Thank from a very nervous and pissed of smartphone user.

You probably imported just the address, not the private key - that is why the send button is not enabled.
So you had a single key in there, which "disappeared"?
Are you sure you did not reinstall / deleted app data?

If you want to have the same key again, just navigate to "Keys" tab, hit the button with a key and plus in the upper right corner, and scan the private key from your backup. Enter password, and the account is there, ready to spend.

You shouldn't be since you made the backup, right? :)
