All right.
These are the steps that we will take on your old computer:
- Backup wallet,
- Delete existing blockchain data.
- Redownload the blockchain data (bootstrap).
- Let Reddcoin Core sync.
- The transaction you made will be removed and the amount restored to your balance.
- Make a new transaction, with correct fees.
Backup wallet
-
On your old computer, open Reddcoin Core, and make a backup of your wallet. Via Reddcoin Core → File (menu) → Backup wallet.
-
Exit/close Reddcoin Core after making a backup. Make sure it’s not running.
Delete existing blockchaing data
-
On your own computer, press the following keys:
Windows key
+R
.
This opens the ‘Run’ window.
In that Window, enter:
%AppData%
-
A new window opens, with folders. Search and open the
Reddcoin
folder.
This folder is your Reddcoin data folder. -
Delete the followign folders:
- blocks
- chainstate
-
Delete the following file:
- peers.dat
-
Leave this window open.
Bootstrap
-
Download the bootstrap file: https://download.reddcoin.com/bin/bootstrap/blockchain-Nov-26-2020.zip.
It’s a large file (4 GB, so it can take a while). -
After the download is finished, extract the zip file:
- To unzip all the contents of the zip file, press and right-click the file, select Extract All, and then follow the instructions (next, next, next).
-
After the file is extracted, you will see two folders:
blocks
andchainstate
. -
Move (cut/paste) these 2 folders to the other window that you left open (where you previously deleted folders and a file).
-
When all is working again, you can delete the large
blockchain-Nov-26-2020.zip
file.
Finish the syncing
-
Open Reddcoin Core. It will start syncing the rest of the blockchain (last 10 weeks).
Don’t touch Reddcoin Core, let it sync. -
The transaction you made earlier, should not be visible anymore in your transactions list. The amount should be back in your balance.
Redo the transaction
You now can make the transaction again. When sending, do this (in the Send window):
- Enter the receiving address and the amount.
- Click on ‘Choose…’ at the bottom.
- Select ‘Custom’.
- Select ‘total at least’.
- Set value of ‘total at least’: 1 RDD.
- Uncheck ‘Send as zero-fee transaction’.
- Make the transaction.
After a minute or so, the transaction should get confirmations.
The transaction should appear on the blockchain explorer; http://live.reddcoin.com/.
Go to that website, and enter the transaction ID.
If you can find the transaction, the transaction is successful.
Let me know how it goes.
After this, we will work on your new computer.
