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.

I ran into this problem in the opposite direction. Taking a wallet.dat file from PC and trying to use in the mac client always caused the Mac client to crash. I looked into it a little and the Mac client build is one version behind PC and the dbversion value in the code changed. Unsure what other consequences there were of that, but I had to send my coins from my PC wallet to my Mac for them to work there.

I never tried the reverse (mac wallet to PC), but wouldn't be surprised if there's some gotchas on the way. Backup both wallets and send coins between them if you really need to have them on the 'other' computer.

I'm hoping when the promised updates arrive that a mac wallet will be compiled at the same time instead of being behind again :/
