I dont like Jaxx anymore and was searching for another better wallet. So I decided to close down my JAXX. In that moment JAXX told me that the total value of coin was 4 USD.

It was to low balance to make an transfer (EHT-gas to high) so I decided to import the account to a new metamaskadress and then - when gasfee is lower - go to an mobilwallet. I want to have 10-20 usd always in a mobil wallet.

Well - I took the seedphrase and imported it in Metamask. Checking the value....420 USD. Pretty much more then 4...

What?

I took the ETH-adress and used it in Etherscan to see what this was. Obviosly - I had some SAI at that adress. BUT SAI is not compatible with Jaxx so the wallet could not show it.

But wait....
What if....
What if my value at Jaxx was only 4 USD (as it was) and I was so angry at that mobilewallet that I think "I dont care about that 4 USD - I just uninstall the app"
Then I should have lost 420 USD....

So what had happen?

Long time ago I obviously send some SAI to my adress. Because I have tracked the transaction. And in some way I did not realize that the amound did not show up in JAXX . I just sent it there to keep it there.In that time the value was about 70 USD. But it could not be seen in the wallet. Then I forgot this transaction.

My conclusion

Before you close down a wallet - check in Etherscan what is in that adress.
AND....
Dont send crypto from one wallet to another IF you can use the seedphrase and import it instead.

Well - I am happy. Not everyday you found 420 USD even it was my from the beginning.
