Some long-time Yours Wallet users see a zero MNEE balance even though their MNEE is safe on-chain.

This post shows you how to check whether you're affected, and what to do about it. The short version: your funds are not lost. The wallet was asking the MNEE network about the wrong list of addresses — like checking every mailbox except the one your mail is delivered to.

Step 1 — get your receive address

Open the wallet, go to the Receive screen, and copy your address.

Step 2 — ask the MNEE network directly

Open a terminal and run (paste your address in place of YOUR_ADDRESS):

I also didn't include the MNEEAUTHTOKEN, but it can be found in the wallet or ask in the Discord channel.

sh curl -s -X POST 'https://proxy-api.mnee.net/v2/balance?auth_token=MNEE_AUTH_TOKEN' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '["YOUR_ADDRESS"]'

That token is the public one built into the wallet — it's not a secret, and this request only reads a balance.

⚠️ Never paste your seed phrase or private keys anywhere. ⚠️ Here, we're dealing with an address, which is not a secret either.

Step 3 — compare

The reply shows precised, your balance in MNEE.

• If it matches what the wallet shows, you're fine — stop here.
• If the API shows MNEE but your wallet shows zero, you're affected: the wallet isn't including your receive address when it checks balances.

What to do

Update to version 3.X.X or later. The updated wallet queries your receive address, shows the missing balance, and — if the funds live on an old-style address — walks you through a one-time sweep that moves them to your current wallet and fixes the address it hands out going forward. You do it once and the problem is gone for good.

Why it happened

The wallet changed how it generates addresses at some point. Accounts created before the change kept handing out their original address for deposits, but balance checks only looked at newly generated addresses. Issue #335 has the full technical detail.
