i have a problem with my wallet...

someone knows why?
it is the latest version of wallet.
it is also stuck at block 29001

I had the same problem when my blockchain got corrupted.. you can safely delete the blocks and chain state directories and re-download the blockchain.
its only 105MB at the moment.

in windows your Karma files are located here by default..

C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Karmacoin

make sure you backup your wallet.dat and whatever you do, do not delete wallet.dat.. (all your keys are in there!)

how can i backup my wallet.dat?
and from where i download the blockchain?

just make a copy of it ... and keep it somewhere safe (make sure you encrypt it first though using encrypt wallet in the KarmaCoin Client)

the client (Karmacoin-QT) will download the blockchain automatically when you start it up again...
i deleted the blocks and chain state and re loaded them. it is stuck again at block 29000.
same problem. i cant take out my coins from there!

I would suggest copying the wallet.dat file from your "Roaming/Karmacoin" somewhere safe. Deleting the particular "Karmacoin" folder and re-click your Karmacoin-qt. Delete the wallet.dat file that was newly created during the process located in your "Roaming/Karmacoin" folder and place the old wallet.dat(that you saved somewhere safe) in it's place. Your coins are safe in your wallet.dat file if anything.

Best way to start "clean" imo I've done it whenever I had trouble with a wallet.
