Hello, After long and painful adventures trying to work out my long forgotten decred software i decided to upgrade from 0.4 to 0.6.1. I am on linux. I start dcrd with my usual login and password. To my horror i discoverit resyncs and remakes a wallet from the start. The resynic has been rather quick but i got a nasty surprise when starting dcrwallet. I entered my seed. It tells me the wallet has been created. I then use dcrctl to get my balance and it tells me i have zero decreds. I should have roughly 108. I have then deleted the wallet.db fil and recreated my wallet. Same problem. When i entered my seed it answered a correct hex Whe i used to mine i got my mined decred at the following address: DsU3qDaCtSzKkHn34koBigzXMxrCER1YHpi When i ask my balance it also answers: 22:18:33 2016-12-15 [WRN] RPCS: RPC authentication failure from 127.0.0.1:59038 And i am lost (again) Spent four hours running in circles.
Forgot to mention : /dcrctl --wallet walletpassphrase "myprivatepassphrase" 600 401 Unauthorized. ./dcrctl -u"ID" -P "password" --wallet walletpassphrase "privatephrase" 0 dcrdwallet tells me the wallet has been opened for an unlimited time limit. But still zero balance.
Ok, i have read my other thread there: https://forum.decred.org/threads/solved-5-days-since-pool-payment-and-nothing-on-wallet.3792/page-2 And it seems it was a similar issue. Maybe i did not wait enough for dcrd to sync totally. But the problem is now solved.
thanks for sharing your experience and related link, will help others with similar problem. I would suggest you to try Paymetheus as it now supports importing the seed.
