Hello, can anyone help. Apparently chia client upgrade changed my receiving address and my balance shows 0. Is there any way I can access my ‘old’ address and send the balance elsewhere?
I found some threads advising that the address can be changed in config.yaml, I tried but to no avail. Even stranger the address indicated in the config file is yet another one and not the one showing in GUI. Totally confused and any help will be appreciated!
First the wallet/receive addresses:
You have a wallet, this is only accessible with your private keys(24-words phrase)
A wallet can have an unending number of different receive addresses, this is normal. In fact many recommend changing it for each new transaction.
Only the wallet owner (who has the private keys) can see all transaction of all the different receive addresses in one place as well as the total balance.
The other second thing is your balance showing 0. This is most likely a syncing issue with the wallet Database.
First you can try hitting the “delete unconfirmed transactions” button in the Chia app.
If that doesn’t work:
close Chia, make sure all processes have stopped
go to username/.chia/mainnet/wallet/db/
delete the files there
start Chia again. After a short sync, the wallet should be fine again. (If you are on version 1.3 or higher)
