I've contacted Bittrex and Yobit on Twitter ahead of time and requested they freeze the market in order to preform a proper coin swap. If your coins are on Bittrex, rest assured as you don't need to take any course of action.

The codebase has been adjusted to correct staking issues and to allow implementation of roadmap features (today, implementation of Masternodes, and Stealth messaging was done and made available in the new wallet). At Bittrex's request, the coin ticker has been changed to "COV2". Awaiting for Bittrex fee situation (1.5BTC) to be solved so swapping COV on Bittrex is possible. Meanwhile, if your coins aren't on an exchange and would like to redeem COV2 for your old COV (1:1) please forward your alias, your old wallet.dat and a screen-shot of the wallet open (if possible) to CovenDev@mail.com

Features implemented with new wallet from roadmap today : Masternodes / Encrypted Msging / Stealth Txs

Welcome back Dev.


Pls remove all old threads guys. (except original one)

Thanks & looking forward!

Why would anyone need to send their .dat file...  :-X

So new coins can be issued if you have your coins off the exchanges, on a local wallet. 1:1 swap.

So should I just hold the coins I have at the exchange or is there a wallet to download?

If you leave them on the exchange, you won't have to provide any information, the coins will be automatically swapped. If you are planning to withdraw your coins, I would suggest please waiting for the release of the new wallet prior to doing so.

Good Luck.  This looks like more of the same though.  You know, when you abandoned the coin and the investors.  Later.

Looks like dev has still some coins to dump. Let us see how well the circus goes this time.

Is it safe to assume this will be the main thread for updated information?

A preview of the new wallet; should be finished,functioning, and uploaded within ~2 hours.

f*ck,, dev drunk again  i lost btc since you gone and lock  the thread

yeah Dev's another relative is going to die, he need money again to do drugs and for hookers. Coming again shameless asshole dev.

Buy now to return your loss ;)







I see great stuff is coming! Respect for returning dev!

Basically this coin just for Joke , another Joke takeover for Bagholder  not special for me , nothing and never until end the world

remember devshit say bla bla bla , and now he return , and this shit
and now someone Takeovershit . I think Covendev and someone "takeover" same account  8)
dont play in this . save your time for real crypro  8)

Good Luck takeovershit

In order to swap the current COV codebase supply with the new codebase which fixes PoS/allows implementation of roadmap features, a fee of 1.5 BTC must be paid to Bittrex in order for successful swap compliance.

-update
New wallet released (in OP)
2 of the roadmap features have been implemented
will bring a block explorer online shortly
thx

Awaiting to hear back from community, Bittrex, Yobit. If you have coins on a local wallet, and want to swap for COV2 [1:1], please follow directions in OP. Feedback, thoughts, opinions would be greatly appreciated. Also making some noise via social media to Bittrex to edge them into perhaps "lowering" the swap fee.

Let the masternode requirement higher, maybe 500 COV2. ( IMHO )

Hello.
After speaking to Bittrex yesterday about our upcoming swap, they notified me that they held roughly 90% of total volume (meaning 90% of total coins is on thier exchange. If such a high majority of people have their coins on the exchange, they cannot create Masternodes with them[comfortably, unless their a super whale, then sure), so it really becomes a situation where allowing people to keep X amount of coins on the exchange while keeping Y amount of coins devoted to a masternodes ideal. Reaping the benefits of "both worlds", the Masternodes, and the market.  I felt 200 was a firm number for providing incentive for staking coins/participating with Masternodes while [hopefully] providing  peace of mind to the Masternode creator that some amount of their coins are, at their liking, on the exchanges, ready to be liquidated if things go sour.
Thanks for the input; please keep it coming!
Oh, may I ask why you 500? (just curious)

33,700 [total coins] / 200 [Masternode Criteria] = 168~ possible Masternodes
33,700 / 500 = 67 possible Masternodes

Out of curiosity: Why do you want or have to swap coins? What exactly prevents migration to a new codebase while keeping the current coin/chain?

Well... in this case your math is better then my proposal. 200 Coins for Masternode  / 186 possible is ok.
67 possible masternodes is too less.

Hi.
he prior codebase had staking/syncing problems and did not have the proper foundation to implement features from the roadmap.  The concept of a swap shouldn't be alarming. If you hold your coins on either Bittrex or Yobit, they preform the swap for you; meaning your COV balance if on either exchange, will remain the same, but when you log back on it will simply be COV2. All the features and planned milestones are the same. This just ensures were all progressing forward on the same page; as your solution does merit some easier solution, it would surface later when I attempted to implement masternodes for example.
I'd like to remind everyone, this is the current situation.

The new wallet and codebase is for the coins to be swapped. Before you freak out, rest assured, if your coins are on either Yobit or Bittrex, you have nothing to do except wait. They and myselves will remedie (the process is quite simple; they provide totla coins, they delete old wallet/chain; resync with new wallet-chain.
Now; Richie from Bittrex said this process could be a headache and a hassle. As I didnt see how, I would never dare argue with a alt-coin exchange owner; I'm sure they get enough BS from cryptoland.
Back to the Bittrex Swap, they requested 1.5BTC for the processing of this swap. I posted a donation address to speed this process, but to no avail.
I've considered; doing as Richie suggested, the "manual" way, which means as opposed to users on exchanges simply waiting for the exchange and developer brings things up to date, the individual trader is responsible for providing all info requested to recieved their swapped C2. To save a potential headache, I really think it's worth it if we as a community chip in (or just proclaim your love for Coven (COV2) via social media). Never-the-less-; getting this process done with and moving to other features of roadmap is what I want to do, but am moving at the pace in which things should be properly done.

I know how a coinswap works. The questions is why is it even neccessary?

I see no reason why it it wouldn't be possible to migrate to a newer, different codebase while keeping the current chain. Besides that (I think) a swap it unneccessary, updating the current codebase also wouldn't require a fee of 1.5BTC to be paid. ;)

The previous codebase was not satisfactory of enough of a foundation (for me) to implement the roadmap features. Simplified!  Yes; the 1.5 fee is a surprise to me, but keep in mind I am willing to do this manual with coin holders, it's not I think it would be in all our interest if we somehow embraced Bittrex to wave the fee? I don't know how to solve these kinds of conflict of crypto issues; incite welcome from community.

Perhaps a new measure of dealing with these circumstances? i was quoted 1.5btc

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1100392.msg11719085#msg11719085

You don't get my point. ;)

New codebase neccessary etc pp - I understand all that.
But why can't you migrate/update to the new codebase while keeping the original chain? So no coinswap would be neccessary? :)

oh; sorry think i could of answered this without straining your eyes. Bittrex suggested a new ticker/symbol, so we just went ahead and rebuilt from scratch.  Your solution would work ; but this would also solve any outstanding (unknown wallet) issues people have had or will have when features implemented. Sorry for misunderstanding, hope this satisfies your question.

Well....yes and no.

I still think migrating the existing codebase would have been the proper way to go - but since you already went ahead, you created facts so it doesnt matter anyways now. ;)

Now what? Will it be done by bittrex or do we need to withdraw our coins from bittrex? Withdrawing is not possible now.

So Maybe someone here can help.  I have always had problems setting up master nodes.  It's the main reason why I avoid MN coins (and the community is normally unwilling to help someone set one up) hopefully this one is different.  

I am getting the same errors that I get with other MN wallets.  unable to allocate VIN.  Normally this issue co-insides with not being able to send the coins to the collateral address.  I currently don't have all of the 200 coins needed for the MN.  I will get them if I can get assistance setting up the MN.

My last experience with MN was XPH and it was a complete disaster.  The community was simply in it for themselves and were only willing to set one up for a price.  As I think MN are extremely gimmicky and not very useful I only want to learn for the sake of novelty.  I have followed all instructions on the internet short of setting up a VM and trying it on a different OS.  

So the problems that keep cropping up for me with all MN wallets.

unable to allocate VIN for collateral address
Unable to send coins to collateral address

Any idea what causes this problem?

IP is allocated with port
Windows 7

No; you need to do nothing (yes the market being disabled was done bittex in hopes of resolving this swap)
as i've previously mentioned, there is a 1.5BTC fee they charge, and since a majority of people (Bittrex caims to hold 90% of total volume) it would make so much sense to have them to do. The predicament is raising 1.5BTC (new codesource/wallet/chain is good to go on our part; awaiting them/asking to the community to chip in (maybe if we come up short, they'll appreciate the effort?

So as it stands, if ur coins are on Bittrex (or Yobit); everything is fine, and your coins are secure. I'm going to try and speak more to Richie today perhaps conclude a outcome.

I ask for some patience as I attempt to resolve this Bittrex swap situation.

will type up a very simple yet detail instructional on how to set up masternodes with Coven; again I ask for your patience

hahaha
try push shit coin , then run out  :-X :-X

<turns other cheek>
gets back to work

Make some BTC by trading like the rest of us.

agree :v
someone try collect dead coin same like shit coin , then he try takeover  . and whatever for push the value from delisting , yes this is way to get big profit . and finally , same you say . "Then run out"

TheMightyKnight  and covendev same ?
they Have same local time :O
conspiration ?

I know he ( have many account ) and try control the game  :O

sorry guys; tired of being nice. will deliver obv. go fuck urself guy, like jump in front of a car too

So after I'm done jumping in front of the car, how much ROI can I expect to earn?

Oh, sorry I thought you were busy "working."

WTF
look trex and COV rise :/

I think this coin already die

Dev you need money for buy some Drugs  or Lambo ?
drunk and drunk . this is your character
many investor on last thread . when they need you , you say Good bye
they lose ? yes

and now , you come back , same Like HERO .
oh man , this is 2015 , we not stupid

Dev , please go to home and drunk again .

Jesus, if your going to attempt to insult me, fucking use proper grammar you fucking moron.
Dev, do you need money to buy drugs or perhaps a lambo?
Getting drunk and drinking is your character.
Many investors lost out on your judgement and character from the previous thread.
You said goodbye, yet return like your top dog? Oh gosh, this is 2015, go get wasted again.

You insult, I correct, so when this little interaction ends after this post with you, perhaps next time when you insult someone, you don't look like a complete retard. Best of luck, hope you die!

hmmm....
Go to mama dev :8 and  dont forget buy some Milk

Don't listen to them Dev, they are trying to piss you off. Just do your work and they will shut up.

Heh; thanks. I'm not deterred; simply exhausted with built up frustration from these goblins; now I feel bad for having gone off on that particular kid, but he took a few shots, that I quietly ignored. aw well. I work best when I don't interact while working; and once I post; I'll ask for community opinion. If you need to vent your frustrations on me for losing out when I left a month or so ago, feel free, there may be an occasional outburst; but this steam engine is a uh choo-choo-chooing.  I've briefed with "TheMightyKnight"; he was the dev when I left. I would like to collaborate with him, assist one another, and so on. He seems more people friendly and the crowd favorite.

I don't mind you handle communication, but leave it within one form (this form is fine). If you want credit or renegotiation; just ask, don't see why I , who is providing the coins features exhaled from community? I'll just look and won't "touch"l you have as much authority in your own posting as you do here (ths isn't a self-mod thread anyway)

Were not in preschool heh; trolls/people talking trash are just whatever. Its actually more empowering when delivering progress when being taunted or ridiculed. Someone said I was taking your place, as Dev, and I'm curious. I understand you can do communcation control.. can you code, compile, set up nodes...explorers..use VPS. notepad++? 
Your a dev right (coding or cloning; whatever you wanna call it) I need to know; if your sole purpose (which I appreciate is community leader; we can establish that "title" and give you the resources you need to maximize your duties (i.e mIRC, Slack, or I can create i2p chat for Coven).

I guess were discussing everything in the open  8)

I didnt mean to label or insult you, I hope you did not misinterpret me. To me, I thought "Dev" was always the technical guy who did things that other ppl benefited from. You can be whatever you want, whereever you want, to whomever you want. You can do this in your own forum or this one, but I will only be posting coven coin related events in this, so stop by once and awhile.

Again; no intention to discredit or "mock" you for being a community organizer, hell, it takes a certain type of discipline and self-control; as you saw earlier; not everyone has these characteristics.

So as I said before, come and go here as you please; if you feel more comfortable posting on your thread, no issue, but let's agree coin-related topics will be only posted here, cool?

Perhaps you can use your "DEV" skills to throw a fund-raiser or a cake-walk? Or perhaps organize a community jog? Or volunteer at the local schools and churches? pretty sure I did enough (uh yea did more then you, "DEV"; did in 1 day than u did in like 30sdays; ima work @ my own pace (Bittrex situation is top pritory). but yea those bags do sound awfully heavily, and would require someone to create something to be able to market/dump. ill scribble it in my schedule for sometime somewhere someplace. oh, if you happen to see any girl-scouts, get me some butter-scotch cookies, thxm8

Just FYI I am desperately searching for a meme that adequately expresses just how delicious the drama is in this thread.  *licks fingers* omg more please!

https://i.imgur.com/I3GKho3.jpg

awww.
awww.

you got it bro

this drama it's xxxxxx

Fixed a few mistakes for you!

I have no idea what this coin is about or what is going on here, but I will definitely not be getting involved if a coin dev tells someone that he hopes they die.

Also, check your own grammar, Bro.

Same thing with TenneT but I am not positive it is same dev.  If anyone knows will they post.  Exactly the same is happening to a few coins matter of fact.  I may be wrong so I am not accusing at all.  I just would LIKE to know.  Thanks

What !! many thread  >:(

Who dev ?
CV2 , Covendev or  TheMightyKnight
 ??? ??? ??? ???

 I'm not going to comment on CV2; dunno who this person is; CovenDev was somewhat "shaky" in the begining but has shown improvement and determination, and TheMightyKnight was holding things "together" while looking for a capable dev. I decided to return and finish this project.

https://i.imgur.com/cPyrbIq.png (http://imgur.com/cPyrbIq)

 ;D thanks.
re-reading what I said; yeah.. kinda..went too far. I even think I'm an asshole, but if not that kid, someone else would of taken the rage-blast.

If you really finish this project , it could blow the market for sure. That's one of the reasons I purchased a descent amount for myself, keep straight , Dev ! :)

oh... Ok

 Holy Shit.....

"I'm not going to comment on CV2; dunno who this person is; CovenDev was somewhat "shaky" in the begining but has shown improvement and determination, and TheMightyKnight was holding things "together" while looking for a capable dev. I decided to return and finish this project."

Do us all a favour and don't bother,,,,had enough BS the first time around!

Do you have any thread translation bounty?

ah hhh .... mate
new account , make account for get bounty ??

buahahahahhaha

Think Again

this fact

anyone in here give me some cov for support this project ?

The block explorer is stuck at block 2. My wallet:

    "connections" : 7,
    "proxy" : "",

I did more in a day then you did in a month. As I stated above,  we need 1.5 BTC for bittrex, feel free to ask them about this; it's their policy; their like known for this.  You have to understand your negative reinforcement won't yield positive reinforcing results. Lol did you think your  my boss and I'm on your payroll? More like your holding my bags, and perhaps consider double bagging them, its the weekend guy. Chill; will proceed on Monday

same like korean drama :D

So CovenDev is back. Super news!
Thus, I have locked the team thread:

(That is the 1st rebirth-thread = the one which restarted COV on Midsummer Day.)

Read (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1096038.msg11715926#msg11715926) a summary (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1096038.msg11731731#msg11731731) of my initiative.

Mission accomplished.

Good luck now with COV2 !

new wallet looks great, do we know how long bittrex will take to do the swap? I only managed to get 1 coin from trex to my old wallet didn't come till trex disabled the wallets. I'm not sure how to send my wallet.dat ?? do I just copy and paste it to the email?

Thanks CV2 from above.


Well have not heard from them all day; actually at their ranch in-person discussing it. Will post final results upon settlement.

hello  -
so my main focus for today is getting the swap administered on Bittrex. no one donated towards the swap and I don't have the means to pay 1.5BTC to the exchange in order to swap on top of all the other things im doing. I'm trying to ask they do it for free but have not heard back yet. This will be todays top priority; so if successful, we can continue feature implementations from the roadmap and release new things. But at the moment, this is the most critical thing that needs to be done. Will update community as I   hopefully make progress. Thank you (Please fav or RT my message to Bittrex for support, which I have provided the link below) Thanks
https://twitter.com/CovenCoin/status/615181475051388928

I'd love to beable to help out with bittrex fees but have been laid off for 2 months and am more than a little broke right now

So lets do some retweets guys.  https://twitter.com/CovenCoin/status/615181475051388928
Tell your friends too!  ;)

BUMP on that , lets do this :)

Why is the Bittrex swap necessary? I succesfully withdrew coins from there.

Update
-apologize to Bittrex for the rash comment They are professional. Will open ticket.
...going to make this coin work.

Swap is needed in order for the coins (ie see new wallet; I installed masternodes and stealth msging... sigh) i did it this way so i gotta swap it guys.

https://i.imgur.com/aXYZX61.png (http://imgur.com/aXYZX61)

Shouldn't Bittrex users be provided with an opportunity to swap the coins they bought from the exchange themselves i.e. that Bittrex opens the wallet for withdrawal on the current chain...

Bittrex locked the wallet on dev's request. They wouldn't have done that otherwise.

so it seems Bittrex wants me to re-vert to previous codebase/chain so people can move out their coins, in essence asking me to manualy do the swap.
now let me explain how a manual swap works; its literally that, a manual swap of the current coins you hold with the new coins (old doesnt function COV for COV2 (thanks for making me change the name there too Richie  ::) ) .

the trex at play
https://i.imgur.com/VxjGi24.png (http://imgur.com/VxjGi24)
ya greedy bastard

So if you could imagine:
1) You would send your coins from A) Exchange to B) your wallet.
2) You back up your wallet; record # of coins, (and a screen shot, I suggest this for your own security, showing proof of what was in the dat before sent) and send that information to me. You also provide a new COV2 address (from the new wallet)
3. I check it manually to ensure its accurate (the # of coins). I send  that many coins to the address you provide.

This process is repeated for everyone holding COV in a local wallet (meaning you moved them from exchange to your QT).

Now; its something that requires time (for the people with outstanding coins to get this msg, move coins, provide information), organizaton on our part, and not being able to progress until the swap period is over. I would say 1-2 weeks is fair for the community holders to move their coins to wallet from exchange/request a swap. This conclusion could not be avoided (unless we paid the 1.5, which I have no intention of doing). I will do this manually. I will make this the best fucking coin in the world, despite Bittrexs stubborn ways.

If you think I'm being out of line, the solution to this with the assistance of Bittrex would be like so.

1)Hey Bittrex; how many coins do you guys hold?
Bittrex XX,XXX
Okay, please update new codebase/wallet/provide new wallet address
Bittrex: Updated, heres addresss
Great, here are the new coins

There would be no manual swap. The time to do it is nearly incomparable to doing it manually.  But I'm going to do it. I ask for your patience as I organize the best method of doing this properly so no more time is wasted on bullshit and pennies for an exchange. Sigh, bear with me. Thank you.

QUOTED FOR POSTERITY YOU PIECE OF SHIT SCAMMER, YOU CAN'T CODE, YOU HIRE SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR YOU, ALL YOUR COINS HAVE THE SAME DEFECT, PRETTY SURE YOU JUST BURIED COVEN  ;D DISSING TREX... THEY RUN A SERVICE AND ARE NOT A PRO-BONO CASE YOU IDIOT. YOU PUMPED AND DUMPED AND THEN DID IT AGAIN AND THEN YOU LEFT, COMMUNITY MADE AN EFFORT TO RESCUE THIS PIECE OF SHIT AND NOW YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO COMEBACK AND FUCK THEM ALL OVER AGAIN.... ..................

REMEMBER THIS LITTLE SCREW UP?  :-*  https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmega.co.nz%2F%23!fgc0zBya!GsWWoB35KwhH1y12qydMs0jHIU5NLH-B7xezUVtjoMk&v=3

Oh, yes, no policy, if you have an idea, suggestion, opinion, anything of worth you would like to contribute, please take the time to jot it down, in detail on a piece of paper, fold it, and shove it up your ass. Remember to not be clinching when you insert, to ensure proper posting. Thanks!

A manual swap will require some work, but then again, so does 1.5 BTC.

Sorry, you are out of line because no one has any insight to how our systems work and I can guarantee you it is not that simple.  It is 3-4 hours worth to make sure everything in the system stays intact and passes an audit.  As for a manual swap, many have completed it in a much easier fashion.  Just take a snapshot at a given blockheight, and premine the new coins to the addresses that have funds.  It takes no manual work at all on either your part or the coin holders.  This is a solved problem with multiple solutions;  check out what other coins have done for swaps and follow their model.

thanks,
richie

And that is how it's done, dev - simple and clean. No need for sending wallet.dat files anywhere.

PS: Ensure that the current COV1 public/private key combos are still valid for COV2 when doing that. Also take care of trading to be halted on exchanges prior to taking the snapshot for the premine of COV2 (for obvious reasons).

@ bittrex/riechiela: As for the coins still deposited @ bittrex: So the COV addresses currently associated to bittrex accounts will also be associated for COV2 when taking this approach, right?

Unfortunately not, which is why I requested he turn it PoW so people can move coins out... Addresses are not associated with users. 

To explain why it is so difficult, imagine that we have to keep track of all deposits/withdrawals, all addresses/privkeys, all associations between the current wallet and the trades that occur.  New wallets mean new addresses with the same symbols.  Its an extremely complicated task to back everything up and keep the same symbol so it jives with new and old addresses.  That said, if you created a new wallet that was completely backwards compatible (ie with the wallet.dat file without needing me to import privkeys), it would be a trivial step to just upgrade the wallet.

I've tried to provide as much help and as many options as I can to help with this swap.  I'm not a fan of taking a fee to perform swaps, but you have to understand that it is a time consuming and error prone process.

Thanks,
Richie

Oh right, I missed the part where you mentioned the need to move out coins.

I imagined you would probably simply dump all privkeys of the current wallet and batch import them into the new COV2 wallet if the keypairs were still valid. Plus some dirty SQL inserts and update statements. I  haven't really thought this through, especially considering I only can imagine how your database model might look like. And my imagination is probably far off. ;)

Afaik the chain was working fine with PoS prior to the wallet lock @ bittrex (or still is I assume), if I am not mistaken? If so reenabling PoW wouldn't even be neccessary.  

Updating the sources to a new codebase with a hard fork (and not with a coins swap to a new chain) would have been my choice in the first place as I wrote earlier in this thread - but I am not the dev here. :)

we were asked to turn on staking to get the coins moving again... honestly i'm not sure the state of the blockchain right now ;(

Sooo...dev? What's happening next? :)

Richie, I really, really respect you and Bittrex even though I may be out of line sometimes but that wasn't the case. I asked you to disable the market so we could do a swap for a better codebase/wallet and to simply swap; and you made it clear it wasn't feasible without paying Bittrex's Swap fee; then asked I do it manually. Had we done  the swap; there would of been NO issues with the blockchain, you wouldn't of needed to be forced to turn on POS and be in this situation.

what happens now since im assuming the no swap without paying the fee is intact is we do a manual swap (many of you suggested better ideas that may of not needed this , but in order to implement the features on that roadmap many new versions of wallets will be released and this means having a fresh codebase foundation.

continuing, a forced swap = everyone would move their coins from trex to their local wallet; an one by one you'd send me your .dat file and download the new wallet and send me your address then i send you the coins you had (from COV) in COV2. I do this with everyone who holds a COV coin. It's going to be a time consuming process. I'm also curious if Bittrex, once we swap to COV2 will still continue to have us  listed as a coin still, given the last confrontation we had when i requested the swap (im sorry and apologize)

Richie, if thats the case, and I can understand for the asshole things I said; very well. But if you want me to manually swap; and your delisting COV and not relisting COV2 ; please at the very least let me know now so I can find the next "best" suitable exchange; like polo or c-cex i guess.

OR if you changed your mind, and want to do the swap via your exchange, I'll send Bittrex 0.25 BTC. its 1.25 BTC less than you requested; so if the community members want to contribute please speak up.

If the above is not true ; I will carry out the manual swap. I will wait for Bittrex and Richies response.

I ask you to keep your coins on there for time being as well.

I just read this part after responding to the 2nd heh oops. As I said before reading it , if its that troublesome, I have .25 towards your requested 1.5 and if the community wants to chips in. But what do you mean "turn on POW".. Proof of Work ended with mining , bit confused here.

That means: Fork the current codebase to reenable PoW (probably with a low reward to not unneccessarily bloat coin supply) at current chain height to get it moving again.


Once again:

There is no need for manually sending wallet.dat files to you and no need for you manually transferring coins as well. Take a snapshot at a certain height of the COV1 chain and simply premine the amount each address holds to the same addresses in the new COV2 chain.
 
- Ensure that the current priv/public keypairs are still valid in the new COV2 chain when taking that approach.
- Ensure  that all COV markets on exchanges are halted (disabling wallets is not sufficient for obvious reasons) prior to taking that snapshot.
- Check with the exchanges if they would follow that approach - if not give people enough time  - with a moving COV1 chain - to transfer their COV1 coins to local wallets prior to taking the snapshot.

Very well; if this is what you guys want, I'll do so.

It's one approach.

Or update the codebase with a hard fork while keeping the current chain. That would be even better and comes with a lot less administrative overhead. As richie said wrote earlier, bittrex could simply update the bittrex wallet then. :)

Can't sync the new wallet.
Any nodes?
What is the port? 17814?

It looks similiar to this problem here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1090069.40
(in that coin, dev ran away, allegedly)


.. but I don't get it, what exactly to do now.

Use an older version of secp256k1 ?

Which one? How?

git clone http://www.github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1
cd secp256k1
git checkout a1d5ae1
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

Old or new wallet ?

Thanks a lot, that seems to have been it. Compilation continued.

Now a new problem appeared:


which I could solve myself, by


Then this came up:


which could be solved by



Then it went through, finally.

thanks a lot!

the temporary solution is

just wondering how to make that persistent on Debian

SEEDNODE / ADDNODE NEEDED !

Please tell me your (COV2 !) IP address, perhaps by PM;
I only need it temporarily, to get the blockchain.

Thanks!

But no.

Those are COV nodes (old thread1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1032465.msg11405999#msg11405999), old thread2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1096038.msg11731731#msg11731731)),
not COV2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1100392.0) nodes. We need seednodes for the new COV2.

My guess: He doesn't really understand/know how to fix this mess and is awol again.

@ COV2 wallet users: Using that wallet makes no sense since this will only work if the dev does a manual swap after implementing PoW again (or get the COV1 chain moving again by other means). Unless he doesn't show up to fix this mess there's no point in using COV2 wallets. If possible revert to COV1 for now.

@ all: Anyone knows about the state of the chain prior to this COV2-mess? Was it working or stalled?

Stuck for a long time,

then bittrex (90% of total coins) enabled staking for 24 hours, and that (or the attention of other balance owners) made COV move,

a few blocks; then it got stuck again. Perhaps because bittrex disabled staking so soon?

samspaces posting above (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1100392.msg11781169#msg11781169) shows different blocks 3866, 3868, and 3923
and different versions 1.0.0 and 1.2.0 and 1.4.0

You might find more info in that thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1096038).


No doubt about that. I have no COV2 coins, either.
But I wanted to try out the new code & chain of COV2 - to get an opinion about all this.

Idea: If that COV2 code is newer&better code, could it also be plugged on top of the old COV1 chain perhaps? Then no coin swap would be necessary, if that is so complicated / expensive.

Ok ladds, how about this.

http://www.filedropper.com/covenfiles

just add them to your .Coven folder. And no, I didn't go to the trouble to put a virus in. But you can check, to make sure.

A takeover attempt after only 46 hours of inactivity (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=507261) is questionable. Just saying.

Im Confused AGAIN  ???

Suprise, surprise....  ::)

Guys, we're going to have to delist this coin.  The wallet has been broken for at least 3 weeks and there isn't a dev to fix the issue.  The market will be closing next friday and the wallet removed.

Thanks,
richie@bittrex

thanks for good news richie :D , I know shit coin should remove from market and going to the hell with bagholder .
