So, I haven't fired up the Neos wallet for a while. iSpace removed it from the multipools so had no need to open the wallet.

Recently iSpace added NEOS back into it's multipool 1. So, I updated to the latest wallet... backed up wallet.dat etc. first

So my views on the new wallet?

I Hate it, I like the concept a web based wallet an all but...

The primary address for the new wallet was different to the original wallet?
All the addresses that were setup in the original wallet address book are gone?
The primary wallet address seems to change on reboot?

So, I updated the new primary wallet addy on iSpace and waited for the coins to roll in...

I could see me getting blocks, coins and even see the coins being moved from unconfirmed to confirmed. They didn't reach my wallet though?

I checked the new pool payout addy against the primary addy in my wallet and they've changed? Plus, all the addresses I had setup in the new wallet were also gone?
No, I don't use a virtual machine and no I haven't installed the wallet again, I don't know why this has happened.

So, payouts from the pool are going god knows where and I have lost all of the small amount of NEOS I mined Sad

If that wasn't bad enough, once the NEOS wallet has been opened many of my other altcoin wallets now won't open unless I reboot?

After a reboot, I open NEOS web wallet, try to open others and I get "Unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:(any port) on this computer. COIN_NAME is probably already running."

If I reboot and DON'T open NEOS the other wallets open fine.

I then started poking around and realised that the new NEOS wallet had added services? I don't want a wallet that buries itself into my PC by adding services.

Not that I mined much NEOS but needless to say after recent experiences I won't be mining NEOS, FFC or MZC or using multipools any longer.

There are too may coins with flakey wallets or exchanges whose wallets have been in maintenance for so long it isn't worth mining the coin any longer as you can't trade it #Cryptsy!

It's hard/impossible to make ROI as it is, these problems just make the ROI even harder to achieve.

I applaud the concept and the information and features available in the new wallet but for me it simply doesn't work Sad

Sorry NEOS

First of all let me apologize for any issues you've had as I know how frustrating it can be thinking you've lost coin. I've reached out to iSpace also as you're not the first person to report a bit of trouble there and I'm confident they'll respond and we'll validate any issues and resolve them. Before I can begin to speculate as to what might have happened during the wallet upgrade/move - I have to ask; which version of Neos did you come from and attempt to go to? Neos v1 to Neos v2.0.1b?

If you would be open to the idea, I can TeamView in and recover anything that might have been lost in translation or cover the loss myself. One other key point to mention is that if you've used the Qt that's provided (but marked as "Do not use") and mined to an address there, the web interface will show a completely different wallet/set of addresses than that one. In either case, this is all completely recoverable and a painless process if you'll allow me to do it for you and set it straight. The coins not showing up could indicate a few possible circumstances:

1. The Qt wallet address was used as I've already mentioned
2. You're not on the latest release and blockchain (as we forked to single-algo)
3. The original wallet.dat wasn't imported properly into the web interface and therefore isn't showing

I can promise you one thing and that is that regardless of the outcome your situation will be rectified and your coins aren't lost. Regarding windows services and your tweets over at https://twitter.com/CryptoMinerUK/status/561534743754584065

1. Neos will never and has never interfered with another wallet unless you set both to listen on the same ports
2. The services came to be as a request after 2.0 was released and at the time the management was done via 2 command prompts. Services due to UAC have proven on some systems to be troublesome which is why in 2.0.2 there is a launcher which doesn't require any escalated privileges and it's much cleaner and easier - not relying on services whatsoever.

The issues that have surface on random Windows installations have been addressed in 2.0.2. I'm sorry if it's been a less-than-positive experience for you, but it seems along the lines there was also some unnecessary confusion due to Neos taking a new/different approach compared to other projects in existence. If you're willing to allow me to clear this up for you, I would be more than happy to and I'm here all day and throughout the night.

Best regards,
