I rebooted my VSP and when running 'getacountaddress 0', the address of my wallet appears to have changed.
Im a noob to masternodes / wallets on Ubuntu, and I fear I may have lost my coins.
I have the 'privkey' and the wallet.dat file.
Is there any way to manually change the address of the wallet on my Ubuntu VSP?
Any help is greatly appreciated and successful recovery / change of my wallet address on my VSP would definitely deserve a reward.

Everytime you issue the getaccountaddress command it generates a new address. The old one you made is probably still there. Therefore, your masternode should also be fine.

Check your receiving addresses list and you should probably find your old address there. If not, you can restore your wallet, but that is most likely not necessary.

Thanks tek-g!!!
Is there a command to run on the VSP / Ubuntu to check the receiving addresses list?
And is restoring the wallet as simple as putting the old wallet.dat file in the proper location?
Or does the restore of the wallet require a command / process?

Thank you again!!!
