Hello.
I was wondering how to make sure that my coins are gone? I downloaded the new wallet and restored via seed, but no coins. Can I look at transactions somewhere? It's empty.
Look in your network preferences and try to connect to a different server.
Ensure you have the right seed and that it's written down correctly. Though as the box isn't greyed out then I assume it's probably right.
Also, check Tools>master public key and paste your publickey into blockchain.info.
Or use blockchain.info/xpub/YOURPUBLICKEYHERE.
Nothing to be seen on blockchain info, it says there were no transactions on the network yet.
