I used the upload legacy function for the 0.4.3 version I think. But all my coins aren't backed up by my seed. So I downloaded the newest version, wrote down my seed, and made a new address to send my coins to. I then opened the 0.4.3 wallet but it says my coins aren't there anymore. Is that because they weren't part of the HD wallet with the seed? Anything I can do?
I'm trying to get to the 0.4.3 wallet that I loaded my coins into and send them to my new address in the new wallet. That way they will be backed up by the seed for the new wallet. However, all my 0.4.3. wallets say 0 peers and 0 coins
When you load a legacy wallet, you get a ton of new addresses, and the legacy coins don't get backed up to the seed. To get the coins backed up to the seed, all you need to do is send your entire balance to yourself using a new address from the wallet. If it says 'transaction too large', send a smaller transaction, and then send increasingly larger transactions until you are sending the whole balance.
At some point in the (probably not near) future, we'll be adding a button or feature that automatically moves all of the coins to a seed address.
OS X: still no wallet.json (latest version - 0.4.eight). This is a problem for me.
On the 'Sia' executable, right-click and there should be an option like "open pacakge contents" or something. Click on that, and then follow the folder structure to app/Sia/wallet/wallet.json.
