Hi

I have a problem to recover my sia coins with my seed.
I have a backup of my seed, I have installed Sia UI v1.2.1 on my new PC, its 100% synchronized, I use the recover seed button but my wallet now shows 0 SIA :S

I had a very big amount of SIA on my wallet

how to be sure the seed is recovering correctly?

First, check that you are copy/pasting the seed precisely: no extra spaces and no missing characters

Second, just in case I would try to check the balance on a command line instead of the UI, just in case. If you are in Windows:
- Close SiaUI completely (in Windows: Close in the system tray)
- Go to the folder where said.exe is locate. It is going to be in a subfolder of Users/your_name/Appdata/Roaming/Sia/resources
- Open 2 command line terminals
- In the first one type "siad", and wait until the step 6/6 is done
- In the second one, type "siac wallet unlock". It will ask you for your seed. Wait until the fist command line terminal says "Done!"
- Next, in the second terminal type "siac consensus" and check that your blockchain database is fully synchronized
- Finally, in the second terminal type "siac wallet" to check your balance

If both things fail, I would suggest you to go to Slack (siatalk.slack.com/) and ask in the #help channel. Taek and the other devs are very active and I remember one or two people had a similar problem when upgraded to 1.2.0
