Grin: Coins not shown if node not fully synced with network

[andybellenie]

If you delete the .grin folder to resync a node then previously confirmed coins disappear from the wallet.

[antiochp]

So I think what you are seeing here is the wallet attempting to refresh its outputs from a node that has _not yet_ fully sync'd with the network and is effectively unaware of the outputs.
I suspect the coins will reappear in your wallet once the node has sync'd.

If not can you paste wallet info and wallet -s outputs here (or in gist.github.com)?

[BloddyBaron]

I can report same issue, they do not reappear even when fully in sync with the rest of the chain again.

[antiochp]

If you run grin wallet -s outputs do you see them incorrectly flagged as Spent?
(Or if you look in wallet.dat directly do you see them there as Spent)?

[BloddyBaron]

grin wallet -s outputs shows nothing.

I can docat wallet.dat and get the following output:

`cat wallet.dat

@BloddyBaron if grin wallet -p password -s outputs is showing something different to the contents of wallet.dat then you must be specifying a different password.

Changing wallet.dat to 'Unspent' for the relevant outputs makes them appear again

[sesam]

@andybellenie Hi, please, could you update the title to "Coins not shown if node not fully synced with network"? That is the root cause of your and others' issues mentioned here, and it would simplify explaining this to new users with the same issue.

cc @antiochp Meanwhile, would it be good if I try to quickly add a message in wallet info and outputs about the possibility of hidden coins if not synced?

[andybellenie]

@sesam change made as requested
