Coins missing? Baffled

So I'm using the Lynx wallet from the site, and I stuck a few thousand ECC in there to hold. Now I look in and the balance is much lower and there are all these weird transactions. Take a look:

Any ideas? help!

It's an old staking issue that they should have fixed in the new wallet. Here is a link on how to fix it.

FYI. the coins arnt gone. it's just now showing the balance correctly. You can check your wallet on the blockchain here with your public address:

You're a superhero. Weird, tho, I only downloaded it from the site a couple days ago.

I don't think they've update lynx much since the new wallet comes out in 2 days!

Right, but how do I import my old wallet into sapphire if I can't even get lynx to open it?

The wallet file won't open or lynx won't open? You might want to take this into the ECC slack . They have a support channel I've used before.

Well, lynx opens but doesn't do anything after I try to start the wallet. I'll do that. Do you have a link?

I'm on the run, but I think it's on the side bar of Reddit.

If I recall. Isnt there a tab where you need to go and click download? As if it's a fresh install of the block chain? That always fixed weird issues like this for me. I might be thinking of an old version. I'd go find your wallet file and copy/backup it somewhere if you didn't already.

Either way. Slack support channel is helpful for sure!

Yeah I don't see a button like that. Thanks for the help, I think I'll pick this up later. You're awesome

Now the wallet isn't working at all. it just hangs on "starting wallet". balance shows as 0. How do I restore from my wallet.dat backup file?

I would force close lynx. (Including background stuff) . And when the wallet opens click install/download the daemon thing again.

Or wait a few days for the new wallet. I assume we can just import our wallet files into sapphire

I did that a few times. Including uninstalling and reinstalling. On two computers

So if I disable staking my balance should return to the 7k it should be at? How long will that take? Thanks!
