I finally found my digibytes last night after losing access to them 2 months ago; I tried restoring my wallet at least a dozen times in those months and sent numerous requests for help to the reddit forums to no avail. I had named my wallet backup file "digibyte back up with balance" lol some f you will know this won't work but I was clueless. After someone on the reddcoin reddit forum told me it had to be named wallet.dat I began trying that, again to no avail. As I downloaded my "dozenth" digibyte core wallet I finally noticed that it's wallet file was named "wallet", not "wallet.dat"! I replaced it with my backup and named it "wallet". Presto! The wallet is still syncing but the digibytes are all there. Yahoo!
