Hello all, I mined a bunch of coins several years ago (2013/2014ish), and then promptly forgot about it. I saved my old wallet.dat file, but nothing else. I downloaded the new version (0.9.6.2-standard) and have fully synched to the chain. when i copy over my wallet.dat file into the ~./Library/Application Support/Feathercoin directory and restart, it scans, but says the balance is 0. is there something else that I should be doing before importing an old wallet? I would hate to have lost these coins.

Thanks!

@acidd all the same size 131072 leads me to believe the coins are all gone. =\

so i did the rescan, and nothing, however in debug.log i see:

2018-01-04 14:36:23 init message: Loading wallet…
2018-01-04 14:36:23 nFileVersion = 90602
2018-01-04 14:36:23 Keys: 0 plaintext, 0 encrypted, 101 w/ metadata, 0 total
2018-01-04 14:36:23 wallet 695ms

2018-01-04 14:36:23 Rescanning last 2033528 blocks (from block 0)…

so i am thinking there is something i need to do first to the wallet.dat file, otherwise, there are just no coins and i accidentally overwrote it and its gone forever…

@acidd i am not getting any error, just that the wallet shows no balance (and i know there should be) also everytime i exit the app it asks me to save, but what im saving i have no idea?

hey - thanks for the tips, i tried the rescan, but nothing popped up at all. just says nothing in there. does that means its gone ? do i have to export keys or something ?
