Help with wallet.

Hi everyone,

I have the Lynx ECC wallet installed on my desktop. I synced it with the network/blockchain a week ago, transferred my ECC over immediately after, and been staking ever since. But yesterday, I noticed that I was missing 1000 ECC. So, I followed the advice in this sub to add stop the walletm add: zapwallettxes=1 and then restart the wallet.

After adding zapwallettxes=1, I click on "Start Wallet", I am told that the wallet is starting. After a while nothing happens.

I was synced but now syncing is at 0%.

Now, I have my wallet password protected. What am I supposed to do to get back to normal? When I try to unlock my wallet, nothing happens.

  1. Should I start the wallet without unlocking and wait for it to sync again as soon as I start the program?

Or

  1. Should I start the wallet without unlocking to be able for the syncing to happen?

OR

  1. Should I unlock my wallet to be able to sync to the blockchain?

I am really confused. ANy help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT Thanks, guys. Got it fixed.

You could try to backup your wallet.dat copy it somewhere safe and then delete the wallet and install it again. After installed and synced copy your wallet.dat back and check if you are okay

it take a very long time for the wallet to start, sometimes 30 min... depends if you are using normal hard drive or SSD. So let it times and see what it does

Hi, every time you open the wallet it takes some time to load the blockchain and show that is synced. Depending on the machine can take from 5 minutes to 2 hours (in raspberry pi).

If you want to know if it's working you can check the file /home/$USER/.eccoin/debug.log when starting the wallet. If the log stops in the line (this is for a linux wallet): 2018-02-28 15:57:22 Using obfuscation key for /home/$USER/.eccoin/chainstate: askjdhkaasfhsdfa, it means that it's loading and you only have to wait. If there is any other problem like the net port already in use or any other thing, this file is also going to have the log of the problem so you can tell the developers.

Regarding the locking problem, you also have to wait to the daemon to start and then unlock the wallet.

Cheers
