As a back up to the .dat back up, run this command in the console: dumpprivkey <tekcoinaddress> The output is your private key for that address from which you can recover coins in a fresh wallet. Use importprivkey <tekcoinprivatekey>. However, I advise you to store these keys separate from an internet-connected computer.
My private key is in my pants. Rather large, but well hidden. My chick likes me to export my private key repeatedly into her USB port. Was I too provocative?

?? version 2.2? If so, I would suspect either a firewall issue or a corrupt download. It works good. I've not personally used the Windows version, but for Linux it's good, and Noise23 compiled it for windows as well.

I use the windows version and it seems to work fine for me, like every wallet I use, syncing up and getting the block chain up to date is slow but I have that problem with them all, I probably run too many wallets on one computer though, so tend to think it is probably just my issue.

one way of delaying the stake. you can set really high reservebalance in the conf, then your wallet wont just start auto staking when you open it. once open just type reservebalance false in the console to let it stake. when you restart the wallet it will auto default back to reservebalance true and not stake till give command.

Had a bit of a problem with the wallet (the latest version, as well as the version before it)... THANKFULLY I'd backup up my old wallet at the start of November last year...
Seems that I've been able to stake successfully for the last few months, to the point where I felt I had enough to start moving some into Cryptsy, which I tried to do last night. The coins never turned up, despite being successfully confirmed. The same story with ALL my post-November stake, which I religiously updated every 30 days. So we're talking December, January, February and yesterday. There was NO indication that anything was wrong - until I tried to move some TEK into my Cryptsy account. Bear in mind as well that to consolidate my coins, I would use the coin control to pay them to another address that I have registered in the same wallet on a monthly basis.
Turns out that NONE of the post-November transactions which appeared in my wallet appeared in the block list, DESPITE all the confirmations.
Apparently, and completely unknown to me, none of these transactions were visible in the online block chain - so the online block chain was telling one story, and my wallet was telling another.
I've had to restore my wallet.dat file from AUGUST and re-sychronise everything, and where I'd started out with 15.6k TEK and thought I had almost 60k last night, it now turns out I only have 40k. I've lost 20k TEK because of this. If the original stake hadn't gone through, or the wallet had told me that the confirmations weren't valid, I could have resolved the issue sooner, but it didn't. So while the maximum stake is 90 days, I've probably lost almost 40 days' worth. So I'm NOT too happy about that.
There's probably nothing I can do about it now, which is irritating, so for every one else's benefit, MAKE SURE YOU DOUBLE CHECK THE BLOCK CHAIN!!!

Sorry to hear that. You were likely on another fork for a bit there. It was a turbulent time. You may want to try rescan command if you haven't already.

Thanks Dick! Yes, I'll try that. And you might be right - I might have been on another fork - that's what I was thinking. But in that case, I would say that there are other people on the same fork, if my transactions were being confirmed... Hence the last line in my message about checking the block chain... It's the only way I could find out which backup to restore...

i like to run repairwallet in the once in awhile just see if it passes "true". you still need to check the chain for things, but repairwallet has surprised me with some coins in the past.

Hi, Why does the wallet (2.2.0.0 Windows) try to stake before the block chain is fully downloaded. I open my wallet every week or so to sync/stake and when my weight is much greater than the network I have had the block chain fork. This requires a complete re-download of the chain. Is this normal behavior? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

I have wallet v2.2.1.0-gf96a5a-TEK. My last stake was February 26. I synced, same block as explorer http://tek.blockchain.lt, then unlocked my wallet on March 26. My coins are over 30 days old but my unlocked wallet says Not staking you have immature coins. Is this normal?

Choose Settings > Options in the menu bar and click Display tab in the next open window. Check the display coin control features box and OK to close window. Now choose Send coins tab and you will see a new coin control button just below. Click on that and a new window will open with all info about your coin blocks including weight. Coin blocks that are eligible to stake will have acquired weight, and depending on the network difficulty may take time to stake. Also, check to make sure your coin blocks have many confirmations. If not, they won't stake until you repair the wallet.

Yes, since February only has 28 days you were two days short and thus you see your 29.819 now. Yes, it won't be long now. Happy staking!
