So for those of us who killed siad using task manager, does this mean we have also lost our coins and any uploads stored in new wallet? Hard to imagine that.
No you still have your coins : try deleting resources\app\Sia\consensus\*
or
- copy your resources\app\Sia\wallet\*
- start with a fresh install, but copy & paste the wallet directory and start the client.
Hey I tried the second option first, not much luck other than I was able to unlock the clean install of wallet.
So I am back to my original wallet and deleted the consensus file and wallet began to update blocks etc. BUT, during that sync I went ahead and unlocked the wallet and it now seems that the blocks/wallet has have stopped syncing? and I do not see coins imported yet from legacy wallet nor do I see a file I uploaded.
ok, just saw post where it says to allow full sync before unlocking lol
Step 1 seems to work better than step 2. Will edit if I sync and see coins and stored data.
Thanks!

EDIT: just deleted consensus file again and killed siad. Restarted wallet but will allow it to sync fully before unlocking... see if that prevents it from getting stuck syncing. Then unlock....
