I opened my wallet today to buy more siacoin and I noticed my balance now shows 0KS. I haven't downloaded an update or messed with anything because of some problems people have been having. I had previously found the wallet.dat file and copied it onto my desktop as a backup. I just replaced the wallet.dat file that was in sia with the one I had on my desktop and it still says 0KS. It also is showing a different address. How is this possible? Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks
was it showing a new address before you replaced it with the one from your desktop? or did you happen to notice that?
yeah it was showing 0KS and a new address before I replaced it
I think as long as it shows a new address it is not your original/old wallet. Make sure you were using your original wallet.dat file when you run the client.
I restarted my computer and now it's showing my address and balance again. I'm not sure how it's possible but the wallet.dat files are definitely from my original wallet yet somehow it was showing a 0 balance and different address.
Earlier when I was trying to mine, I ran either siac or siad I can't remember and my balance went to 0 and I got a new address. I quit terminal and restarted electrum and my balance and address was back again. I didn't try to mine again because I was worried I'd permanently mess up but maybe that has something to do with what happened now.
