Can you put your dvc address into the
block explorer to see what the balance is? It should match the client balance after import. Maybe blockchain thinks u have only 10?
The balance is
the same as the client states = 10 DVC. However, according to my own administration, I should have 2.2 DVC now including subtracting a payment of 1,000 today to my Vircurex account.
Let's call the client I worked with today the 'old client' (showing the 2.2 balance, but with payments that do not register). The client I am currently working with is the 'new client' (showing a balance of 10 DVC, which is incomplete). The address I worked with is
18GCTJhxrWfXjnLwwjJKsSYBpyEV16pRsB.
I think the problem arises from the way payments work. Take my 10 DVC payment to Weisoq and the 1,000 DVC contribution to the Devcoin counter on 25 December 2013. These payments show in the old client as a payment of 10 and 1,000 DVC. The 10 DVC payment went to Weisoq's address and the 1,000 DVC to
1HUnznpv5nh91vEzbwvYud9ieeBCgzuscF. The Weisoq payment was made from
my regular address, but in fact made a step in between. Looking at the payment details, the following happened. First, the client takes 2145 from my wallet address and splits it into two amounts,
each with their own address. The 10 DVC goes to Weisoq, I presume, and 6 DVC
get's lost (I assume as payment fee).
The 2129 is then situated in the address:
14B2RbyRWfu892RJnm7CE3VBMKbZ5R9rNx. The next step is that - from this address and to make the 1,000 payment to the Devcoin counter - the 2129 DVC is
splitted again into 1,000 and 1,123. The 1,000 DVC goes to the address of the Devcoin counter (1HUnznpv5nh91vEzbwvYud9ieeBCgzuscF). This is the actual address I used as recipient address. The other 1,123 DVC goes into the address
163eDwvgdhaxiEbCfozF8B81sxsx1o7ri3 which still shows a balance of 1,123 DVC.
I think the problem with my routine of importing the private key is that I do import the private key of my regular DVC address but not the private key of the intermediate DVC addresses that were created over time due to this 'splitting' activity when making payments. Therefore, in the new client I get an incomplete overview of payments and some amounts remain in limbo. In the old client, these intermediate balances show, but as payments already made that do not register on the network.
Essentially, now some 1,000 DVC is sitting in one or more addresses without an option to access this balance. The keys are still in my possession (the original wallet.dat of the old client). I would like to try an older devcoin wallet (1.0.3/4) to see how it reacts to the original wallet.dat file.
I think we should not focus on this, I just want to take out the balance and start fresh again with the current 1.0.8 wallet with a new wallet.dat.
