Thanks for your efforts to list the coin at Freiexchange. Maybe they can evolve into a sort of "hidden gems exchange". Wink

this is a side effect of mini-blockchain: if you sync from scratch and use an existing wallet, you loose information about the old transactions you did with that same wallet.
you can keep the old chain data ("blocks" folder), or use the blockchain snapshot (see first post), to recover that information.
Interesting. Would it cost a big effort to add a "database" to the wallet with information about past transactions which wouldn't get lost if the blockchain is re-synced?

One could do something similar, in a manual way, exporting the JSON data about past transactions regularly and "bundling" them to a "poor man's database", but an automatic feature would be very fine - above all for people who like or even need to do some advanced accounting, like merchants and other crypto enterprises.
