Blind and Anon balances stuck?

clayt0nk opened this issue · comments

As a consequence of #1875, I am lacking in confidence for the Blind and Anon parts of the wallet, so I decided to convert them back to Public. But when I go to the Send/Convert tab, all three "available balances", Public, Blind, and Anon, are zero. In both the "Send Payment" section and the "Convert To" section. Blockchain indicates that it is synced. Balances in the Overview tab are non-zero and correct.

More information

  • Operating system and version: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
  • Client version:

Wallet: 1.8.0
Core: 23.0.3.0
Client: 3.3.1

Having the same issue, on Overview I can see Blind and Anon balance non-zero, on Convert tab Blind and Anon balance is zero.

EndeavourOS
Wallet 1.8.0
Core: 23.1.5.0
Client: 3.3.2

@vincurekf I think we are screwed, the last commit on particl-desktop was eight months ago. The project is dying or dead, I guess.

Are you able to recover the funds using another wallet or installation. Say with Stack Wallet or Particl QT? I don't think its dead i think they just mainly focused on https://github.com/tecnovert/basicswap BSX rn. Hope not.

Seems like a GUI display bug or something. In anycase, make sure that the time on your PCs is properly synced otherwise there will be a lot of wierd side effect but nothing that can result in your funds loss.

As @DisruptiveCollective suggested, download Particl QT (part of the Particl Core bundle https://github.com/particl/particl-core/releases) and you should be able to do whatever you want with your funds.

Particl QT is a bit more tech savvy wallet than Particl Desktop's Wallet module which aims to make the actual process more smooth for the end users (it hides some of the steps of the Convert process). For example, to convert Anon to Public on Particl QT:

  1. Go to the Receive tab and generate a new Public address.
  2. Go to the Send tab and paste the address to the Pay To box.
  3. Select on bottom of that Tab Anon -> Public
  4. Type the amount that you want to convert and press send.

That's it
