Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage - Working Beta

Also, no go on PC reboot. New wallet upgrade still loses all previous wallets data.

Back on old version, but my coins are there.

THX

That is a big relief. I was gonna cry if I caused you to lose your coins.

Ya no sweat, I really appreciate your help

I just copied wallet address from my storage wallet (via status page lol) and am getting ready to try and send coins to it now... will let ya know Wink

You do not need to use the status page. You can just select your address and then press ctrl+c to copy the address in windows. (then ctrl+v to paste)

To EVERYONE updating their wallet. This is not like most coins, it is obviously new code and your wallet DOES NOT save to the roaming directory. Your wallet file is located in a sub-directory of the folder you installed Sia to. I found it in C:\siacoin\win64\resources\sia\wallet SO that is the wallet you need to back up and that is where you need to put the backup in the new client to get your same addresses.

Your my hero! Backed up that wallet and am using 3.3.1 now and all my coins and pre existing address is there for future payouts!

Awesome dude, everything is in order now

your the best!

Thank you!!

Going to try mining now on this wallet

Your welcome I try and help. I hope not to many people lose sia upgrading their wallet if they don't backup the right place could be bad.

Yeah, I think my 12 million SC are goners. If no way to connect with v3.2 and send the coins..

They're not gone. You simply need to execute Sia from the same directory as you did before.

I put the v3.3 executable in the v3.2 folder, ran it, and it just sits unresponsive same as v3.2 executable does. No connections apparently.

Did you try running "siac sync"?

If I knew what and where I would try it. BTW, I am not using command line. Tried to download it, but the page could not be found.

Well, idk where to find the Windows bins for the latest Sia, but if you can't find them, try the penultimate release.

Open a command prompt, go to the directory where you had Sia (the graphical exe), and run siad in this command prompt; leave it open.
Then open another command prompt, run "siac status" (might take a couple seconds for the daemon to start.) Check block height - run "siac sync" to order the daemon to sync, and use "siac status" again to see if the block height goes up.

Since that didn't work, how about we get a new wallet that can read the prior version wallet files?
