I just resyncd the whole chain - no errors in daemon anymore.
BUT wallet still says, that there are no transfers (list_transfers), no balance (balance) and a reset doesn't change anything.
current bc_height 29076...
PLEASE HELP!
mining also does not work anymore...
I want the old version back.

That's weird. Reset usually takes few minutes to rescan all blocks.
Close wallet, stop daemon. Open wallet, reset, close wallet. Run daemon again and once it is up open wallet and give it a few minutes to scan the chain.
I followed the instructions multiple times..
Both my wallets are still empty even after the 5 minute wallet sync.. What I did notice though is that sometimes after the reset it's synced immediately
displaying the right block height:
[wallet abcd1w]: bc_height

I forgot to clean up the ~/.egano directory, will clean up and try again with latest release
EDIT2: Nope, no balance with latest version..
