"Dude, I feel you! Have you made sure your wallet's seed phrase is backed up and not corrupted during the upgrade? That's the first thing I'd check if I were you."

"Lol, sorry to hear that dude! Make sure you checked the private key on your new wallet, if it's changed you'll need to update the seed phrase in your exchange accounts. Also, double-check that your old wallet wasn't set to 'delete after upgrade'."

"Lol sorry to hear that dude. Double-check if you've sent your recovery seed phrase to a secure location or if it got lost in the upgrade process. I've had similar issues, made sure to write down the seed phrase on a piece of paper and store it in a safe."

Yikes, sorry to hear that! Did you check if your seed phrase was compromised during the wallet upgrade? I'd imagine that's probably the first thing to check.

"Hey OP, sounds pretty frustrating. Did you double-check that the old wallet wasn't wiped during the upgrade? Sometimes it's a simple mistake like forgetting to transfer everything over to the new wallet."

"Hey OP, sorry to hear that. Can you tell us more about the wallet upgrade and what software you used? Sounds like a possible key import issue or seed phrase mix-up to me."

"Dude, sorry to hear that. Make sure you didn't mix up the seed phrase during the upgrade, that can easily wipe out your funds. Did you use a recovery phrase or a backup during the process?"

"Yikes, that's a bummer. Did you make sure to back up your wallet before the upgrade, or restore from a recent seed phrase? That's usually the first step when something goes wrong after an update."

"Same thing happened to me a while back. Make sure you didn't inadvertently enable 2FA or seed phrase import/export during the upgrade. Double-check your wallet settings to see if any sensitive info was accidentally exposed or changed."

"Dude, I think I know where this is gonna go - did you try to restore from an old seed phrase or backup after the upgrade? That's usually where the issue lies, especially if you added new addresses to your wallet during the update."

"Dude, did you double check your seed phrase after the upgrade? It's always a risk when you're fiddling with your wallet settings. Make sure it wasn't compromised during the process."
