I have held my Ada in Daedalus for a very long time. I have kept up with all Daedalus updates and have recently verified my recovery phrase successfully.
My problem is, I downloaded the testnet version of Daedalus from www.staking.cardano.org/eng/
After recovery my wallet, I notice that my wallet balance is 0 Ada. Could this have been a phishing site that wanted to steal my details?
I also Monticello that the Daedalus version of it was syncing backwards. It started of at 1.00% and went as far as 98.00% thereafter it started moving backward from 98 down to 76% when I stopped it.
When I restarted the program, it straight to accepting the conditions and then the option to restore or create wallet.
I code restore wallet and used my recovery phrase , and as stated, the balance was 0.
Fortunately I transferred all my Ada to my Yoroi wallet before this process. I only left 49 Ada in Daedalus.
Is it possible that IOHK could provide a link for the testnet version of Daedalus as they do for the real Daedalus wallet.
Thank you Lgbeano for your response. Looking at my wallet, I do have some transactions of Ada that I received like in June 2018, surely that has to reflect then.
I deleted that version of testnet Daedalus and downloaded a fresh one from www.staking.cardano.org
I was not requested to enter my recovery phrase this time, upon agreeing to the terms and conditions, my wallet that I restored from the previous download was immediately restored still showing zero testnet Ada.
I am no longer sure wether my real Ada wallet is still safe or compromised. I guess I will just delete that wallet and create a new one.
I will try the Yoroi chrome extension.
Appreciate your help again.
Pretty much the same thing happened to me. I restored my Daedalus wallet using the testnet version and saw the percentage blockchain sync go backwards. I stopped this and checked on the yoroi chrome extension instead and could see the correct figure in there. All good
Thanks everyone for helping, I deleted the wallet and uninstalled the first version of testnet Daedalus then did a new install using the updated www.staking.cardano.org/eng/ and my balance check returned the right figures. Thanks again community
