Quick question for those more informed than me. I had 38 BTC in a wallet backed up on November 7th. Today, I loaded that wallet up in Bitcoin QT and sent 36 BTC. I then deleted the wallet and put my normal wallet back in place, assuming my November 7th backup was all I needed. However, I then put the November 7th wallet back into Bitcoin QT and the balance is zero instead of the expected 2 BTC. The 36 BTC transaction from today also does not show up in the transaction history.
To see if rebuilding the block chain in my client helps, I copied the November 7th wallet to a fresh install of Bitcoin QT on another computer, but it will be hours before the block chain is done downloading. What would you say I should expect to find after it's done rebuilding?
The reason I ask is because I remember reading once that when you send part of your BTC balance, the whole balance is sent and then part of it is sent back to you. Would using the November 7th wallet make it so I don't have access to coins that the more up-to-date wallet I deleted contained?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Well, the block chain finished rebuilding and my 2 BTC are back. Woot!
