Yes so far, solo mining has been fun. I have mined approximately 69 Bips in 2 days.

The problem that I have run into is this:

1st wallet, was mining and mined approximately 43 bips. then I noticed that while mining was starting to get errors and that the block-chain was not increasing. and none of my 43 bips were coming unlocked. Backed up my wallet, restarted it and still no change. I cleared out all the Block-chain files and restarted bipcoined and re-downloaded the block-chain and all seems to be going well. I re-loaded my backed up wallet file in simple wallet and it is showing a 0 balance, nothing in locked or unlocked.

If I open the wallet file in the GUI windows wallet it still shows the transactions for mining the coins, but it is still not showing them unlocked.

I am not sure what to do.

Usually for my knowledge all i need is the wallet file, yet I also noticed that it also creates and address file, I still have both.

I created a new wallet and have since been mining for approximately 10 hrs and have mined approximately 26 Bips.. I am worried about losing these ones as well.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance
