Can someone please help me? I think this is the best privacy coin out there but it’s just too technical at the moment and so I need some assistance. I bought more coins recently and wanted to transfer to my core wallet and it wasn’t syncing. That’s when I realized something like fork/restart happened around Jan 2026.
I had the core wallet setup and had all my coins in the wallet around November / December last year. A really good admin from telegram helped me last time.
You need to compile/install neptune-core 0.7 or at least 0.6. (Use neptune-core --versionto check.) If you’re having problems with that, let us know.
After this, easiest approach: Make sure neptune-core is not running, go into ~/.local/share/neptune,create a backup of main, go into main and remove all directories other than wallet, go into wallet and remove all files other than wallet.dat, run neptune-core(with the peers shown on GitHub) and wait for it to sync, and run neptune-cli list-coinsto verify you got your coins.
Thanks, I don’t know how far away the VXB wallet is and I don’t feel comfortable leaving my coins in exchange.
If I could sort out the core wallet, I don’t have to keep worrying and I could retrieve my existing coins too.
So far I tried compiling the core wallet (0.7). It was straight forward until
Build for release and put the binaries in your local path (~/.cargo/bin/): make install-linux
I’ve navigated to ~/.cargo/bin and typing the command make install-linux returns an error saying “make: *** No rule to make target ‘install-linux’. Stop.”
Google search says I should find a makefile in that location but ls -a says I don’t have something like that.
Am I missing something please?
Sorry, I also realised the git command before this step came up with the error ”Destination path already exists and is not an empty directory” which makes sense considering I had a working wallet before.
With the previous error message in the git clone command ”Destination path already exists and is not an empty directory”, should I replace the existing contents?
Maybe it’s easiest to just delete the neptune-core dir and clone it all over again. (Otherwise you’ll have to git pull, run git log to verify you’re in the right place, and maybe first git reset if some changes were made, which might be even more pain.)
No because your coins are in the seed phrase (and wallet.dat).
Thank you so so much, I really appreciate your time and patience.
It synced and I can see my coins now. Thank you very much.
One last question, With every subsequent core version updates I need to repeat this, right?

Actually, this (other than the backup) might not have been needed in your case, sorry. I should have asked you to just try running the new version directly on the existing data (after the backup of main).
The NeptuneWallet AKA VXB wallet is working again. So that’s another option for you. It works with the same seed phrases as neptune-core. Latest version is 3.0.1:
