My wallet corrupted because of my mistake and I found I only have a backup of ~/.config/byteball before the last airdrop, and therefore the last airdrop(Nov 2017) of blackbytes could not be recovered. Anybody knows is there a way to recover it? Thank you.

I can still open the old sqlite database. Are there any tables I can merge into the backup in order to recover the blackbytes?

Normally, your balances should update once you have recovered from your backup. There is a possibility that your address did simply not receive the blackbytes, this has happened in the past. Verify that your Byteball address was indeed linked (to a Bitcoin address) before the distribution, and if so, contact Tony, he is the only one who can resend the blackbytes.

I did received the blackbytes in the wallet that is now corrupted(whenever it is opened, it asks me to create new address). I can still open the sqlite db file in the corrupted wallet and find those airdrop outputs that pays to me. However those outputs does not exist in the backup, and when I open the backup, airdrop bytes are updated without problem, but blackbytes are not shown. I guess something in the corrupted db must be merged into the backup but not sure which ones.

If I copy the db file byteball-light.sqlite from corrupted wallet directory into the backup, and open it, there is an error:
Uncaught exception: Error: user version 19 > 18: looks like you are using a new database with an old client
Looks like some versioning issue.


Looks like the problem is solved after I manually set user_version back to 18 by opening the db file in sqlitebrowser, execute: PRAGMA user_version=18, and save it.
