After being away from the cryptocoin scene for a couple months (well more than a couple) i recently fired up my old darkcoin wallet qt, i knew that it was likely outdated and indeed it would not sync, so i downloaded the newest version of the the qt wallet (version 0.10.15) and started it up. I was 22 weeks behind and it took several hours to synchronize, but from the start it showed i had 0 drk in my wallet even before synchronization. I had 32 Darkcoins when i last checked my wallet.
A few days before i quit mining and paying attention to Darkcoin i lost a thumbdrive that contained a backup of my wallet, i didn't want my wallet to be compromised so i created a new address in my wallet and sent all my DRK from the old address (which was the only one backed up on the thumbdrive) to the new address i created.
Even if someone had taken my old thumbdrive and attempted to send my funds elsewhere, they would still have to enter my passphrase would they not? Even if they did wouldn't it show up in my transaction history as something other than a payment to myself? I'm utterly baffled by this as it seems somehow in transferring my funds between two wallet addresses my coins seems to have disappeared.
