Problems with Crescent Cash and BIP47 payment codes

Hello, everybody! I just came back from a long recess from Reddit.

This is kind of complicated, but I’ll try to express myself the best way I can. I had a phone in which I downloaded Crescent Cash. I cautiously saved my seed in order to recover it later.

When I later changed my phone, I wanted to recover the funds stored in that wallet. What I did was to install the app on my new device and restore it with my previous seed.

I found I had no balance, which was weird because I clearly had some BCH. I double checked my seed with my old phone (that phone had Crescent Cash still installed and I could see my balance and my recovery phrase). Then I thought, “hey, I could just ‘send’ my money to my new phone.” I did that and scanned the BIP47 code in my new phone with my old phone. I sent all my balance and then waited.

Not a single notification came and I then had my new and old phones telling me I had no money. Apparently I’m misunderstanding something about payment codes and BIP47 (which seems to be Crescent Cash default), but where did my money actually go? I now think that I should have used another method to transfer my coins, but that was what I thought of in the moment because the amount wasn’t too big.

I would be glad if you could help me. Maybe this isn’t the best place, but I couldn’t find other way to ask about this problem.

Recovering an old wallet -- was it ever used?

I found my old wallet.dat file on a hard drive, and opened it using pywallet. I'm seeing:

"bestblock": "redacted"

"defaultkey": "redacted",

"keys": [redacted - many are listed, with public, private, etc.],

"names": {redacted},

"pool": [101 different addresses]

"tx": [] <-- Empty array

Does the empty transactions array mean that there was never any money put into it? Or is it worth it to keep sleuthing to see if there's any BTC in there? The debug.log file does contain this at the beginning:

Loading wallet... nFileVersion = XXX fGenerateBitcoins = 0 nTransactionFee = 0 

followed by the addition of those 101 key pools and DNS addresses, but then I'm not seeing any other instances of fGenerateBitcoins, just a long series of got inventory: block XXXX, askfor tx XXX [with values in columns A and B), etc. which I'm guessing are just validating other transactions happening on the chain. There are two Block (blk000X.dat) files also.

Am I SOL or should I keep sleuthing? N00b here, thanks for the input.
