Re: [ANN] Catcoin - NEW THREAD - MAINTENANCE UPDATE RELEASED - Scrypt MEOW!
Ok, so I mined 1040 catcoins in the first days/weeks it was released. I mined to a wallet on a computer here at home. Some weeks later I decided to install another wallet on another computer with fresh wallet there. Then moved the coins to this wallet. Everything was ok. I checked on my coins from time to time and refreshed the blockchain. (Stopped mining after the first week).
Q: Yesterday I was checking on my coins: 1 CAT? I think this is from sort of early giveaway.. Anyway now I have synced and I only have 1 CAT.
What could be the cause of this?
/Thanks, Magnus
Edit: Cleaned my Appdata folder and reloading blockchain for starters.
Edit2: Nope, no coins..

It was like in the middle of January..
This shouldn't be related in any way to the fork problems.Make a backup copy of all of your catcoin folders, then try this (at your own risk, please - I've not tried this):

3 methods for recovery

First try running the RPC command repairwallet. This can be done via the console in your wallet. Navigate to Help/ Debug Window / Console.
This command will look for any bad transactions but may not work as your wallet likely still sees the transactions as good
If that doesn't work a redownload of the blockchain may correct this
Lastly a fail safe method
First your going to want to dump the private key of your wallet run the command dumpprivkey followed by your address
You will want to save a copy of the key and a backup of your wallet.
Then close your client and leave it closed for some time. At least a few hours. This will give any bans you may have received from being on the bad fork time to expire
If you have a backup of your wallet.dat then go ahead and delete everything in your appdata/roaming/CoinName folder
Then restart the wallet and let it download the chain until synced
Once synced run the command importprivkey followed by your private key
This is a method I found myself. It removes all the transactions from the wallet and when its imported it can only find whats in the blockchain. So the coins you sent are no longer sent and should be in your wallet.
Let me know if this helps
