Lost coins

Open ancross opened this issue 13 years ago • 2 comments

Hi.

I have accidentally transferred 3.5 BTC instead 0.5 and now my coins are gone.

First I was using 1.0 version, and since there was a problem with downloading block chain, I've decided to update to version 1.1

Still there is no coins and still there is problem with downloading bloc chain.

I must say, that I'm not very happy with this app.

There is a work around for this which has solved it for at least one person:

  1. connect your android phone via usb and delete the blockchain.prod file
  2. restart the app on wifi and let it re-download the entire blockchain (this can take 1-5hrs)
  3. once the blockchain completes you can transfer the coin off the phone

Hope this solves it and apologies for the trouble! We have shifted our development effort into a better architected mobile app that will hopefully be announced soon. Apologies for the trouble!
