I think I messed up big time. Lost ~4000 RVN by rushing myself
Earlier this year, I created my Raven wallet using the Raven Core wallet on windows. I wrote down my 12 word seed on two separate flash cards (as I always do), each stored in a secure place around my house.
I needed to free up some space on my laptop with a very small 240gb ssd, and I decided deleting my RVN wallet and moving to the mobile wallet sounds like a great decision, right? I already have my keys written down so it should be a breeze!
Rather than double checking the seed phrase that's written down with what's in the wallet, I immediately just deleted the wallet, downloaded the iOS version, typed in my phrase and waited for the never ending sync.
Once synced, my wallet still said 0 coins. Weird? Wtf? I downloaded the Atomic Wallet (windows) from Raven's website and typed in my seed phrase. Still nothing. Wtf? I'm so lost.
As of now, I've redownloaded Raven Core, and it is resyncing as I type this which will probably take until tomorrow. Really hoping this works.
So my question is, if anyone can shed some light on my situation, how did I mess up? Aside from the obvious fact that I never bothered to even check my seed phrase right before deleting the wallet like a clown.
I don't recall ever creating a new wallet or formatting the wallet or anything like that. This has been the same exact wallet I've used since Day 1.
I'm not really that mad tbh. I knew this day would come with crypto sooner or later, and at least my Raven holdings aren't that big. I'm just confused.
Can I do anything with a bunch of addresses I have related to the wallet? Doubtful but I thought I'd point it out.
