To the people with "lost coins":
I would send all coins (when available again) to Polo, delete everything and start with a fresh wallet and new sync.
Then just send coins back and finally you should be fine.

If your backup is safe, you're safe! Those NAVs don't get lost or something... Smiley


I would not recommend that since it is not needed at all.

If you "lost coins" it is just a display error of the wallet. Make sure you are on 4.0.1.1

Here is how to update:
We just released NavCoin v4.0.1.

This new version fixes a critical block validation issue which led to network incongruences between nodes on the last days.

EVERY 4.0 user should update to this version immediately.

Downloads available at:
http://navcoin.org/downloads/

INSTRUCTIONS TO UPDATE

1. Backup your wallet.
2. Close NavCoin Core if it is open.
3. Remove the folders 'chainstate' and 'blocks' from:
      WINDOWS ->  C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/NavCoin4/
      MAC -> ~/Library/Application Support/NavCoin2
      LINUX -> ~/.NavCoin2/
4. Download new version, install and run.

Always make sure to have a backup of your wallet.dat!
If you have the display error and your balance shows wrong, you can always check your balance in the block explorer. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/nav/

tldr: No coins are lost, only a display error. Update your wallet and always keep a backup of your wallet.dat
Yeah, true, that is not necessary! Smiley
But if i would be one of those users, specially who come from NAV 3.x or older, i would do it that way.
Placebo effect maybe... but start on a fresh wallet can't be wrong imho. Smiley

I never had problems and on board at NAV since 4.0! Wink Smiley
