Your points about the notice that was given are well taken: I was speaking from a position of fear and worry!!
Mark.
Hmm, I have been running Hobonickels for quite a while, on and off. Every now and then I forget about it.
The other day I started my client up. It didnt seem to work well and after a while I noticed HARD FORK UPGRADE!!
So I did but it still didnt work well, it re-downlownloaded the blockchain taking several days but never caught up.
So I started a fresh installation , it synced, shutdown and then and then put my wallet.dat in that and restarted.
Now I have 0.001 HBN and roughly 5700 unconfirmed worth of pos mined transactions.
Unless I am mistaken I have just lost the entire contents of my wallet due to the 1.5 hard fork, or is there a way to recover this?
These are all dated within minutes of me starting the 1.4 client on the 31st Jan, after the hard fork on 17th.
No I didnt have any idea this was going on and I still dont understand why it was necessary.
I thought such things were generally done slowly and with plenty of warning?
The first warning of the hard fork was November 11, 2014. A full 3 months before version 1.5 took effect. It was necessary to fix multiple issues, including various attack vectors.
Regarding your coins, they should be safe, as long as your wallet was backed up.
What you need to do is start the gui with -zapwallettxes. This should clean up the missing transactions. Please be patient with this, it can take some time(30-60mins+) to rescan the block chain. If you need help on how to accomplish this, please let us know.
