pfffff :/ :/ :/
but I simply relaunched the wallet... this is drama :/ :/ because this Syndicate folder that I access using %appdata% is a brand new folder :/ :/
I felt safe as my wallet.dat file was in that folder few days ago...
it looks that by launching the wallet in admin mode on windows, it rewrote and recreated a new wallet. I don't feel its my fault though...
Anyway I can get back the old file (it got propably erased by rewriting the new one on the top) not sure if I'm clear here.

That sounds a bit weird, did you log into the computer with a different user or something?   Try going Start -> Run and type in %appdata% and look for a Syndicate folder - this is where all the data is, and it varies by user. 

The biggest problem by the sounds of it is that there seems to be a new wallet.dat file, which is bad if you don't have a backup of the one with your coins in it..

I'm still looking forward to see one such non-cryptocurrency blockchain in action, so far most other use cases have only been a mediocre fit.




You can't prevent people from investing in bad ideas without heavy regulation -- which would be against pretty much everything that crypto stands for. Actually, you can't prevent people from investing in bad ideas even with heavy regulation. I'm looking at you, Wall Street.

Either way I'd still argue that mass adoption won't necessarily bring more speculators into the game. Most people that we still need to reach just want a safe and easy way to transfer money. Or at least a store of value. Not a speculative investment vehicle. Those people have been onboard for a long time now.

Let fools be fools and simply don't buy into it. Every subsequent money grab will be worth less than the one before until the forkings subside and pump'n'dumpers find a new toy to play with.
