I've been scratching my head about this one for the last day.

Wallet files, even from the earliest, original release are still valid, as are the backups.

The fact that the transactions show up, but are in conflict, strongly suggests that there is no corruption in the backup.

Were you winning every block during that time? The 'hundreds of transactions' would have been quite a feat then. Also, were you mining on a pool or solo?

Have you overwritten your original files?

I would start by shutting down any running versions of SXC - rename their directories to back-ups, then try to reinstate the original 2013/4 version of sexcoin and see if it will start.  Don't worry about having an internet connection.

If your 2013/4 wallet stars, great.  Shut it down and rename these as keep directories.

Install a *fresh* 0.10.4.0 version of SXC and see that it starts up.

If you have the bandwidth, allow it to sync (you don't need to at this point, but you can if you wish)  There is a bootstrap to get your install mostly up to date.

If you need a sexcoin.conf file, this is what one looks like:


Once you have installed 0.10.4.0 and are satisfied it works - brand new out of the box, shut it down. (a dialogue box will display until it is safe to shut down computer).

Right now the C:\Users\Blah\AppData\Roaming\sexcoin directory is 1.98 Gb in size, you can do the next bit on your computer or, on a eg 4 Gb USB.

Don't forget to *copy* - don't *move* any files from now on.

Find a new directory on your computer or usb.

eg C:\Fluffy E:\testsxc etc

into this folder Sauron poured all of his hate and copy the contents of the C:\Users\Blah\AppData\Roaming\sexcoin directory AND then copy all of the files in the C:\sexcoininstall directory into this same directory.

Then create a bat file called sexcoin.bat


You have just created sexcoin on a portable device.

More importantly, you can now experiment either copying (overwriting) the wallet.dat file from your 2013/4 install, or, just importing any private keys, this install you can crash and burn as many times as you like.

*most important* - always start via the sexcoin.bat file, otherwise, the program will call on the computer your currently running it from's AppData/Roaming files (and if you're not paying attention, you can move said wallet's contents to the wrong place and loose out big time!)

From the sounds of it your coins should be showing already. Is it possible you were mining on a forked pool which was lost when the pool reconnected to the network losing your transaction?

Were they all mined transaction or do you also have standard transfers to/from exchanges or other addresses?

Old wallets and backups should work fine in the new version. Perhaps try a rescan of the blockchain? Did you copy the backup then run the sync or sync then copy the backup over? How much balance? Try a different explorer? If your really running out of options PM me and I'll see if I can restore them for you myself and send to you?
