Hey everyone.  Having a problem here if anyone could help out that would be great!

I used the load legacy wallet in 0.4.3 but didn't send my coins to a new address.  So I realized they are not backed up by that seed but instead still in one of my wallet.dat files.

I downloaded the new 0.4.8 wallet and hit load legacy wallet.  I have a ton of wallet.dat files (really need to be better organized) on my computer and have loaded all of them into the 0.4.8 wallet but my balance still reads 0.  I want the coins to appear so I can hit new address and send them all to the new address, that way all my coins will be backed up by the seed.

Did I somehow mess up by using the load legacy wallet for 0.4.3 with my wallet.dat and now am trying to do it again with this version? My coins did appear in 0.4.3 so I know one of my wallet.dat files worked for me to get the coins.  But now all my 0.4.3 versions and under just show 0 peers and 0 sia and also don't work.  So I'm not sure what to do to hopefully get my coins back or why I don't at least still see them in the 0.4.3 version as they were there at some point.  Worried I somehow lost them all in the update.

I did save multiple wallet.dat backups and saved them all over my computer because of the problem with the backups being overwritten.  So I don't see how I could have lost all my coins

Thanks!

Did you remember to restart siad after loading the legacy wallets?


Yes Edit: After locking and closing the 0.4.8 wallet and killing siad in activity monitor I reopened the wallet and unlocked it and saw all my coins are there.  I've noticed actually for most things to take affect in the UI you need to lock the wallet and kill siad before reopening it.

I also am having trouble sending coins.  Lets say I had 500 coins and tried to send 100.  After confirming the transaction balance will still read 500 coins and pending balance will be -110.  I waited a while and nothing happened.  Also tried locking, closing the wallet, killing sia, and reopening the wallet.  Then my balance is back to 500 and pending balance is back to 0.  There is nothing appearing in my list of transactions either.

Anyone know what's up?


Edit again: Today I tried to send coins again and it said balance 200 and pending balance -210.  I looked at my transaction list and noticed for every transaction I tried to send it yesterday it has -10 so it looks like my transaction fees were going through (and are only now appearing) but I can't send any actual money.  Anyone know what I should do? Thanks!
