Damn it.  Ok, so I have been periodically checking for the PoS fix.  I downloaded the first "fixed" wallet, synced up, and went to sleep figuring my stakes would roll in overnight.  Well I woke up, and it was pretty obvious I was off on a fork.  I come back to the thread, and now there is a second fixed wallet, because apparently I wasn't the only one with this issue.  So I get the latest fixed client, delete the blockchain, and proceed to sync up.  Can anyone guess what happens next?  Yeah, my coins are gone now.  Possibly forever lost on a phantom fork?  I don't know, usually when this happens with a PoS coin, once I redownload the blockchain and get on the correct fork my coins reappear.

It was something like 7370 or 7870 coins, and all about to stake so a conservative estimate calls it about 10k TEK lost.

And no, I didn't back up my wallet.dat before running the first "fixed" wallet.  I know, that part is my fuck up and I should know better but yeah, I never felt like there was a danger of losing my coins and was just trying to sync as fast as possible and get to sleep.

Any suggestions?



back up your wallet.dat

try the repairwallet command in the console, if no luck close the wallet and do the start tekcoin from command line with the -salvagewallet flag.
