I have a problem with wallet
I compiled the wallet from github, and tried to use my 24 words backup seed. ran with a new wallet file. like:
it did show the correct public address, and it refresh the wallet scanning the whole blockchain
but it show 0 available coins
lucky i found old wallet file, and with the old wallet file my coins are recovered.
i then tried to move the coins to a new wallet (with a new 24 seed). then i tested again to recover using the new 24 seed words... and again no funds.
how to fix this problem ? looks like i can't use my 24 seed as a proper backup. but must have the wallet file ??

I know where is the problem. i found in log file messages like "Skipped block by timestamp". coming from wallet/wallet2.cpp file. so it don't scan blocks which are 1+ day older than wallet file ?
this can be very problematic for users who don't have a basic program/debug skills
it made me panic a little when i though i lost my precious bbr... or will never be able to use proper backups
