That was this bug:

https://forum.xaya.io/topic/25-xaya-downloads/?do=findComment&comment=8787

You need to download the most recent version (1.1.1a) and delete your  current chain (the blk*.dat files, but I think there is a button to do it in the electron wallet). Then after restart it will resync and work as usual.

Same as for bitcoin: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\xaya\blocks (XP) 
C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\xaya\blocks (Vista and 7)

Do not delete your wallet.dat files though... In fact copy them (vault.dat and game.dat) and paste somewhere else before messing with the folder if you don't know what you are doing.

Sin embargo, no elimine sus archivos de Wallet.dat ... De hecho, cópielos (vault.dat y game.dat) y péguelos en otro lugar antes de desordenar la carpeta si no sabe lo que está haciendo.

 

Can I do all that with those 2 buttons?

It should work, I have not tried them myself (no electron wallet for linux) so can't verify though.

Debería funcionar, no los he probado (sin billetera electrónica para Linux), así que no puedo verificarlo.

When I erase the chain, are my wallets created eliminated?

No. All  you need is the wallet files (game.dat and vault.dat if using the electron wallet). You can even paste these onto a new computer with new xaya install and they will work (you may need to resync though).

No. Todo lo que necesita son los archivos de cartera (game.dat y vault.dat si usa la billetera electrónica). Incluso puedes pegarlas en una computadora nueva con la nueva instalación de xaya y funcionarán (es posible que tengas que volver a sincronizar).

 

but I can not find those files, inside the xaya files I can not find them

You are looking in the wrong place. C:\Progam Files\xaya is not the data directory.

Estás buscando en el lugar equivocado. C: \ Progam Files \ xaya no es el directorio de datos.

I am very lost, it is very necessary to take that step so as not to lose the portfolios?

No, it is not necessary. The electron wallet backup button should work, and either way the wallet files should be safe... but there is no reason for you to not find the wallet files.

What version of windows?

I forgot them I found them hahaha

1. Use the "Wallet backup" button. Save those files on external drives and not only your computer.

2. Hit the "Delete Chain" button and wait for your wallet to start syncing agian.

Normally you don't need to backup your wallets with this update, but since you seem to not having done so in the past, you should do it asap.
 

 

[DarkClaw 118]

Yes, save those somewhere else. Ideally to a backup drive (eg usb flash drive).

1. Utilice el botón "Copia de seguridad de cartera". Guarde esos archivos en unidades externas y no solo en su computadora.

2. Presione el botón "Eliminar cadena" y espere a que su billetera comience a sincronizarse nuevamente.

Normalmente, no necesita hacer una copia de seguridad de sus billeteras con esta actualización, pero como parece que no lo ha hecho en el pasado, debe hacerlo lo antes posible.

Sí, guárdalos en otro lugar. Idealmente para una unidad de copia de seguridad (por ejemplo, una unidad flash USB).

Was that for "delete chain" or "backup wallet"?

I am not using electron wallet at the moment though, so perhaps tyKiwanuka can be more help with that method.

¿Eso fue para "eliminar cadena" o "billetera de respaldo"?

Sin embargo, no estoy usando billetera electrónica en este momento, así que quizás tyKiwanuka pueda ser de más ayuda con ese método.

for the backup

[tyKiwanuka 103]

Then shut your wallet down and copy those wallet.dat files from here (you were there already in the screenshot above):
 

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Xaya\wallets\game.dat\wallet.dat
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Xaya\wallets\vault.dat\wallet.dat

to your desktop first. Rename those files to something meaningful (f.e. gamebackupJanuary2019 & vaultbackupJanuary2019) and don't mix them up. Put them on an USB stick or external hard drive.

I think your firewall/anti-virus is causing some problems, so shut both down temporarily. Afterwards delete the chain and wait.

 

[tyKiwanuka 103]

That error you get while backing up is because you didn't choose a location. When that window pops up after hitting backup button, you have to choose a location - choose desktop on the left hand.

El error que obtienes al realizar la copia de seguridad se debe a que no elegiste una ubicación. Cuando esa ventana se abre después de pulsar el botón de copia de seguridad, debe elegir una ubicación: elija escritorio en la mano izquierda.

I get an error in the same way

already save the files and disable antivirus / firewall, also download the new portfolio 1.1.1a

[tyKiwanuka 103]

Choose "Escritorio".

[tyKiwanuka 103]

Then do a manual backup like I described here:
