Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency
thanks Vaelin (you golden god), I found the location. it was in User, then mostly all the folders you mentioned. Coins came back after a blockchain rescan.
updates are always a nerve wracking process for me.

I am pleased it worked for you.
Do you have your seed written down somewhere? That would be my go to solution if I couldn't figure out what to do with the .dat file. You should have it anyway incase your hard drive corrupts/laptop gets stolen. You don't want to leave that up to fate.
pardon my ignorance, what's a seed?
A seed is a 12 to 24 word phrase that you can use to restore your wallet. As long as you have those words, you will always be able to restore your wallet. Most wallets have an option to restore when you first load it. You would just type those words in and it will generate your private key.
That seed should be the foundation of your financial security in crypto. If you don't have that seed, you are skating on thin ice.
Find the seed (which you should be able to make visible somewhere in the Dash core wallet), write it down, then keep it somewhere very safe. Keep in mind that if anyone else gets a hold of that seed, they can rapidly steal all your coins.
Thank you, I am skating on thin ice
I don't know my word phrase. I'll see if it is possible to still figure this out.
It definitely will be.
Lukas is right though. Slack will be a good place to figure this out. Not least because there will be people there familiar with the software you're using, and you can get help in real time.
