tried to replace the wallet.dat  on a new pc with my  backup dat  from mac.

everything is synced and unlocked not only for staking. But I dont see my balance.

Any help please?

Are you sure that the wallet you imported is the one holding the private/public keys that hold coins? You can double check this by looking up your public key in the block explorer, to see the transactions from and to that public key.

I opened my mac wallet saw my balance unlocked it waited to fully sync a few days . then I created a backup dat .  copy pasted it into windows wallet folder by replacing the wallet.dat

As far as I know that should be enough?

If you have those both machines on hand, it would be better to just send your coins from old wallet to new. Test it first with small amount that everything works properly and then send rest.


Yes I could do this. But I would feel better to know that and how a backup restore works. I dont Trust my old macbook and there will BE a time when I dont Trust my PC. Thanks for helping

Hmm.. I'm not sure if the problem is that you are trying to use wallet.dat file from mac to pc version. maybe they don't talk together. I'm not familiar with mac at all.
If you send your coins you can always then copy your pc wallet.dat file into multiple safe places.
