Can anyone perhaps help me.

I got the message that my C drive was getting full, because of all of my dang wallets putting all their shit on my SSD. I then decided to create a symbolic link between a new dogecoinwallet folder on my D drive.

I did this by cutting the original dogecoin folder in my appdata/roaming directory to a new directory on my D drive under users/username/dogecoinwallet

Then via commandprompt the regular symbolic link command. According to command prompt it worked and the link was established.

My problem now, my wallet is unsynced and it's not syncing. I added the .conf file, but it's still not syncing, and my wallet shows a balance of 0, even though I had 1.4 mil -.-.
Is this normal? When I move my wallet from one place to another, does it have to resync to get back to the original number of coins?

Oh and because I freaked out, I reversed the whole action by removing the linked partition on my appdata/roaming and putting the original folder back where it came from.

I did nothing weird with my wallet.dat, so it should still be linked to my 1.4 mil coins right? I didn't do anything that could've corrupted/compromised the wallet.dat file?

Did you create a shortcut with -datadir=D:\users\username\dogecoinwallet?

Whatever you do, protect walled.dat with your life. Put it on an USB stick or something, but make sure you don't accidentally lose it..

I have a backup of my wallet with 1.2 mil on it, so I guess if it's gone the loss won't be that big, but still, it's 200k.

I created the link using mkdir /D "C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\dogecoin" "D:\users\username\dogecoinwallet"
Not sure if it's the exact same path, but the mkdir /D is the same.

And after I put it back where it belonged, all I did was remove the new linked folder that was created in appdata, and reinserted the cutted dogecoinwallet on my D drive back on my C drive.

I still have all the files I deleted in my bin, so if there's something I did terribly wrong, please let me know.

From scratch (as I did it):

Code:

- Create a dir like D:\Dogecoin
- Extract all files from the downloaded zip file
- Create a D:\Dogecoin\dogecoin.conf file with the following contents:

rpcuser=doge
rpcpassword=wow
addnode=95.85.29.144
addnode=162.243.113.110
addnode=146.185.181.114
rpcport=22555
server=1
daemon=1

- Copy your wallet.dat file into D:\Dogecoin
- Right-click Dogecoin-qt.exe and create a shortcut
- Right-click shortcut, select properties. In target add -datadir=D:\Dogecoin
- Doubleclick shortcut :)

Be advised, your doges will show up once everything starts synching.

I believe -datadir is something similar to what I did. But I linked 2 folders.'
I guess I'll have to check when I get home if the wallet is synced, cause I did make a dogecoin.conf with the contents from the first page on bitcointalk. Not sure how long it takes to sync up. If it's synced and at least some of the coins are showing I'll just take out the wallet.dat and use -datadir or remake the symbolic link.
I kinda panicked when I saw all of my fucking coins were gone and tried to reverse the whole process.

One question, if the wallet is unsynced, should I still have the same addresses and everything in my receive tab? Cause the address I had was different from the one my original wallet had.

I think my mistake was that I cut the original folder to a different partition. I should have copied the whole thing I guess?

I'm not really sure if linked folders does the trick (especially in the appdata folder). If you get a different address, it is a different wallet.

If you have the original wallet, just start from scratch. You didn't lose anything.

So even if there's 0 coins showing there should still be 4 addresses in my receive tab if I made 4 addresses. Crap..

I guess I can see what's in my recycle bin and salvage what can be salvaged. Not sure how cutting/pasting is able to fuck up my wallet.dat but alright, I can't believe it actually overwrote it or something..
Is it possible to set your wallet.dat back to a previous version like say if it was overwritten?

I appreciate your help btw. I'm not sure what the hell I fucked up :p

Also, I might have actually overwritten my dogecoin folder with my wallet.dat, could it be that I could restore the wallet.dat to a previous version? Fuck I messed up bad.. Shouldn't fucking freak out when I don't see any coins.
