Hey subStrata!,
ive done it. now it shows 0 balance. and encrypt button is available.
But now its all syncing. does it have to sync everything to see my balance?
it would have to sync at least up to the block where the last transaction associated with the addresses in your wallet are contained to show an accurate balance. bitcoin core downloads the entire blockchain and keeps it up to date in order to properly keep track of transactions, history, etc. just let it sit and with any luck you might be able to access your coins in a day or two (or however long it takes for the client to sync). ive done it. now it shows 0 balance. and encrypt button is available.
