Today is the sadest day for me since I had a registered Magi address for the Proof of Interest Campaign (which was: 9CEZrQB5oMcG6TfAr74rCT5Fg1sh9UvsR5) but lost all of my coins. I had a backup of the appdata directory which contained the wallet.dat file for the address mentioned above, however when I move those files to my newly restored (installed) PC in the default appdata directory and open the Magi client, it erased the original wallet that I had and it started everything anew. Now it gave me another XMG address but I am afraid that the one that I had originally has been lost.

The client has started fresh and made new wallet.dat, erasing the one that I had restored in the first place. 

Is there anything that could be done?

could you check in the console

validateaddress 9CEZrQB5oMcG6TfAr74rCT5Fg1sh9UvsR5

if you dont have the private key in your wallet (like i do) your output will be

{
    "isvalid" : true,
    "address" : "9CEZrQB5oMcG6TfAr74rCT5Fg1sh9UvsR5",
    "ismine" : false
}

if your wallet.dat DOES have the privkey, 'ismine' will have 'true' behind it

Yes I made a backup and restored it into the appdata directory but when I open the client, it gives me a new address and everything is anew. Even the blockchain got erased and now it is syncing.

I tried that but it says ismine: false

I am trying to check with Recuva which is an unerase/undelete tool. It is scanning right now but it seems it that it will take a very long time. I don't know what got into the XMG client since it has overwritten my original wallet.dat with a new one. Well, if I cannot recover my XMG at least that will serve as a lesson to me to make more than one copy of the original wallet.dat file to prevent such situations. 

[buzztiaan]

And use copy instead of move, so you dont destroy the backup ... Tough luck man

edit:

come to think, Maybe you could try the undelete tools on the original drive?

I am trying with the original one, but still nothing found yet with Recuva. I guess those 1313.46 XMG that I had are completely lost forever and no way to recover them. For now, I will just focus into the new wallet and mine some XMG along the way. I was thinking about mining XMG with a VPS. If anyone has a tutorial or guide for this, please let me know as I would dedicate such VPS for XMG.

Sorry to hear this Abiky, other things to check or try if Recuva fails, is whether you had filehistory or windows backup turned on if you had a 2nd hard drive.  If you did, then that drive would contain a copy or even several copies of the wallet.dat.  Unfortunately this is not usually turned on by default, but it's worth a look.  And now would be a good time to enable it on the new system.

The chances of Recuva working decrease the longer you use the drive in question because it could possibly over-write the data you are trying to retrieve, so a tip to everyone, have Recuva installed before you need it and don't use the drive for any reason until you have exhausted all attempts of recovering the missing data.

Tip - you can never have too many backups!  Get your wallets backed up to multiple locations such as a handful of cheap thumbdrives, because we all know that Murphys law dictates that the more valuable the data = the higher the chance those cheap drives will fail. (experience talking).  

Lastly, Recuva is a 'lightweight' (free) program that works pretty well but there are other more intensive recovery programs out there that may have better luck, (EaseUS, Ontrack, GetDataBack) but it can be a time consuming process.  Good luck, I hope you get it recovered.

They have reopened withdrawals of coin magi.  Might be a good idea to withdraw as soon as you can, I don't think they plan on trading anymore.

I view it as a bit of a “tragedy of the commons” in that the block reward value overpowers the amount that miners can expect to gain from the transaction fees.  By messing around with moving transactions it lowers the chance of successfully putting the next block in the chain so some miners are ignoring transactions in order to gain an advantage.  Additionally, some people have been testing the network with lots of smaller transaction amounts in order to illustrate a problem with it.  This is clogging things up and increasing the time it takes for transactions to verify. 

Thats my understanding on it anyway, perhaps a bit muddled by all the mushrooms I eat.   In any case my hope is that people will realize that there are many other alt coins out there equal to the task of moving value and discover XMG.   BTC will not be able to move all the transactions of the financial world, was not designed to do so, and could be a single point of failure if pushed as the only solution to moving value imho.

Can someone tell me when does the current proof of interest campaign come to a conclusion?  I am having trouble finding that date.
