[solved] A wallet problem - Re-downloaded Blockchain

Agro

Hi I have had the feathercoin wallet for almost a year now and have never had any problems with it. I have version 4.8.1

I purchased some coins about 4 months ago and then did not load up the wallet until a 4 days ago, and now it just wont sync, have left it running all day and night and it just keeps saying 37009 blocks to go.

Anybody know why its not syncing anymore as iv never had problems with it before

Thanks

zerodrama

there is no 4.8.1 version

what wallet is that?

Agro

Hi that is what it says when i go onto the “About QT”

It says this program uses QT version 4.8.1

I downloaded about a year ago I think from Feathercoin

Agro

Ok now im confused If I go onto the command - line -options it says Feathercoin -QT version V0.6.42 lol

Yes mine is doing that as well I dont understand why I am getting problems with the Feathercoin wallet and not the Litecoin or Bitcoin wallet

Its very frustrating and I was looking to buy more coins but cant until i get the wallet to sync

Gentlemen,
if you go into ‘about Feathercoin’ under the help menu the programm will tell you the version of the wallet, while ‘about QT’ provides information about QT, which is more or less a tool to provide the layout of the graphical interface.

If you version older than 0.6.4.4 you urgently should update your wallets.

Hi ok thanks for your reply I am using v0.6.4.2 lol so I guess i should update it

Do I just download the new version and install it and it will reconise my old version and update it ?

Thanks again

quit feathercoin-qt

go to that folder:
copy wallet.dat to a safe place (don’t delete or move, just copy)

delete these files:
database/
blkindex.dat

start feathercoin-qt

The blkindex.dat and blk0001.dat files contains a copy of the Public Blockchain.

That copy is passed around the p2peer network, as new blocks of transactions are mined, every 2.5 mins (for Feathercoin).

The Wallet.dat file contains “your keys” to send your coins from one address in the Blockchain to another.

Re: Thread etiquette …

Can you edit / sign of the title, [solved] and remove the “Another”, as that is distracting to others looking for help. It’s also nice to give “Rep” to the volunteers that helped solve your problem, that’s available after you’ve done 10 posts.

Hi thanks unfortuantley this has not yet been solved and I think by trying to upgrade the wallet it has done something to my old wallet because when i go into C:/program files/ Feathercoin/ none of those files are in there.
I only have these files now

feathercoin-qt-exe
mingwm10.dll
qtGui4.dll
libgcc_s_dw2-1-dll
pthreadGC2.dll
Unistall.exe
Librencode-3.dll
QtCores.dll
Unistall.ini

So looks like something has gone wrong when trying to update to the new wallet

I cant even find the wallet.dat file and its also not hidden cause i tried that.

If I load feathercoin wallet up it still shows my purchased coins lol I am now at a complete loss with just what is going on with my Feathercoin wallet

For sure I will rep you guys for helping me but I cant mark the thread as solved just yet

BTW i really do appreciate all the help you guys are giving me and I would like to invest more money into Feathercoins as I see it as a good investment for the future like bitcoins and litecoins :)

I don’t use Windblows, so I didn’t comment. It was a chance for someone else to help with an easy question.

Yes, we need some Newbie guides for restoreing wallets. We’ve concentrated on mining so far…
It is all over the internet tho’.

explorer %APPDATA%\Feathercoin

I also believe there is a search facility in windows? find: w*.dat

Hi all, just to let you know that removing the files as suggested above has fixed the problem and it is now downloading the blocks :)
