Used salvagewalllet, now it shows zero balance I used the salvage wallet command in bitcoin. Now the new and old wallet files both say zero balance. Can anybody help me understand what`s going on?
-salvagewallet will extract only the private keys from your wallet. When it does that, it may also end up corrupting your wallet if it was not already corrupted. -salvagewallet should only be used as a last resort.

Because only the private keys are pulled out, all transaction and comment information is lost. That means that you will lose all of your labels and your wallet balance. You will need to rescan the blockchain be starting Bitcoin Core with -rescan.
