I sent this PM to the developer - op poster
Hope he responds finally
HELLO,
I've been told I really need to be with you to get the coins from my old wallet into the new one... So here I am! How to proceed???
My received transactions were on 1J5XVoy32bgqGwro9jv1gjxxpDk6TL3QEN

1.73451028 MMXIV
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE with 50% I'm running hugely behind and I was eager to switch ASAP

I am curious how OTHERS got their coins exchanged??
Ok, I have been waiting for weeks for the Fork to PoS. Last Friday it stopped synchronizing so I immediately went for the new Wallet. 50% PoS!! BUT.. New wallet ignores the old wallet???
What to do, I'm rather panicking by now

If I try to copy the old wallet to the new %AppData%\MMXIV2 folder, all I get is:
A fatal error occurred. MMXIV can no longer continue safely and will quit.
EXCEPTION: NSt8ios_base7failureE
CDataStream::read() : endo of data
C:\Program ...\MMXIV-Qt.exe in Runaway exception.

The old wallet and new wallet are on different blockchains, the wallets are not compatible. You need to send a PM to MMXIV to get your coins swapped over to the new chain (this REALLY needs to be in the OP).
I was late to. I sent him a PM with the passsword and i sent him my wallet.dat per mail.
After three days the coins showed up in my new wallet and the amound was even a bit more than i sent him.
Really great!
A word to the staking issue:
To have peace in mind open the debugwindow and type "getinfo"
there you can see the coins staking, and can be shure that it is only a
matter of display, the process is working
