Can't access Litecoin Wallet

[freQniK]

My LTC wallet stopped synching and there are errors. I have severa LTC in the wallet and I can't seem to access it. I tried a recover to no avail. Then I tried moving ~/.dexc to ~/.dexc.old and starting from scratch - each time Litecoin fails.

Here are the errors:

It does it on different blocks, it's not always the same block that it can't get the hash for. I've tried both version 1.0 and 1.0.2... nothing.

Well, after at least 8-10 attempts of retrying from scratch and recover wallet, eventually starting from scratch, I.e. (renaming ~/.dexc) and restoring from seed, I finally got my litecoin wallet back.

I was so eager to recover the funds, I was looking through the source code of the dcrdex to see how you generated a private key from the 15 word mnemonic. I tried Ian Coleman's BIP39 offline generator that I've had for a long time. I even tried writing my own python script to generate the correct account private key.

You guys should write tools to generate the private keys of the wallets from the nonstandard 15 word mnemonic.

I now ditched the SPV wallet and connected Bison to my ltc rpc node.

Sorry for your experience. The ltc lightwallet wallet backend does not have active developers. We have been the only ones to work on it for a couple years. Thanks for the issue. Will discuss with the others if we should take some extreme action. imo we are not able to keep it updated presently. It has also been unusable for me recently on testnet.

We have an old app that did this but it does need to be updated. #3108
