camosoul for the love of dog run a dumprivkey on whatever you have left...

I believe he got everything back

I hope so, all the more reason to backup now to paper, and so should everyone else.

Plus, as we've seen it isn't enough to have backups, you need to verify them each time too if possible - I know it's a pain in the arse but it saves grief down the road.

Nobody takes backups seriously until it's too late and they're screwed.

A newbie question - how do you back up to paper? Is the private key stored in plain text? Or is there any app to get it out of wallet.dat?
I have a few digital backups but would not mind the paper as well


This is  Backup.
To make it quick and easy, type 'dumpprivkey <public address that is in your wallet>' in the wallets' console, and write down (copy / paste to a text editor, public and the according private key) both.
Then print it out, twice, and store each in a different physical location.

Fresh paper wallet.
The nice way would be to grab the DRK address generator, go offline, open the file in web browser, generate new wallet (with qr code, and nice layout), print that out and distribute the your coins across these 'new and fresh' paper wallets. So the coins are nowhere online, just on the papers' cold storage address.

http://paper.darkcoin.io/
Grab the source from git, and create paper wallets offline.


I have a question about this.
If i understand correctly, after the coins in your wallet have been made anonymous, those coins are placed in lots of 'change' addresses.
Does the resulting private key from the 'dumpprivkey <public address that is in your wallet>' command still contain _ALL_ your coins? (not literally but after importing it again ofcourse)



No, it wont. First, disable darksend and consolidate all your coins into one address by sending your balance to a new address that you have just created in-wallet. Then go to the console and type:

walletpassphrase 'your-passphrase' 60 - unlocks wallet for 60 seconds
dumpprivkey 'address you just sent your balance to' - without the quotes

Cut and paste the output (the private key) into a text editor or something, put the address in there too, and then print out 15 copies and hide them under the bed of your fiercest granny and other places. Hide/store them securely because anyone who gets hold of them can steal your coins by doing what you need to do to import them into another wallet, namely:

importprivkey 'the-private-key' 'label(optional)' - without the quotes at the console in a new wallet somewhere else.

HTH.

ahh. so the trick is to sent all your anonymised coins to a newly made address and THEN dump the private key of that address.
thanks.

Chill people, most of the network isn't even on the new client yet... You can't expect denomination to work when 80% of the MNs are being rejected because they're still old...

thanks. that seems useful information that i was really missing.

What are you actually trying to do?  

If the wallet is denominating then you need to WAIT until it is finished.  It may take several hours depending on the number of coins you have and the number of rounds.

I was trying to upgrade from the stable version to the rc4 version and get the same debug messages as the quote above.
Same question to you.

well i thought something was wrong reading those debug msgs (like 'transaction not valid and such'). Or is this normal ?

i've been looking on this thread and the wiki but couldn't find a quick answer to this question:

what's the big picture of the timeline. RC4 soon is around the corner, and after that we go to a first stable release (say: a non-release candidate) on mainnet ?

It's crazy running 30 rigs on Windows 8.1, every week I spend half a day on OS updates... They always say "critical" updates and give fuck all info on what's contained.

I'm having a play with PiMP at the moment, it seems nice, I'm close to making the switch.

I've got the Ubuntu 12.04.4 x64 distro on my nodes.
Well that is a lot to update manually indeed, and making something that could update everything at once is rather very complicated and needs extensive knowledge. Why aren't you using an Ubuntu 13.x?


Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is out as well Wink
Much longer support than some 13.x one!

I have had no problems with compiling darkcoin from source on 14.04.

i wonder what's the percentage of masternode owners capable of upgrading their node themselves..
They might need to find someone who can help them, before big updates are coming (?)

Maybe it's nothing to be afraid of, but it must be kept in mind running a masternode is not a fire-and-forget kind of thing, it needs maintenance once in a while.

i agree. the 5k limit needs further explanation.

great to see the progress by the way ! Wink

what's the logic of the guy or bot on cryptsy buying 0.001 drk a time for hours and hours ?

2014-08-03 06:25:32   Buy   0.00968498   0.00100000   0.00000968
2014-08-03 06:25:19   Buy   0.00968499   0.00100000   0.00000968
2014-08-03 06:25:02   Buy   0.00968499   0.00100000   0.00000968
2014-08-03 06:24:49   Buy   0.00968510   0.00100000   0.00000969
2014-08-03 06:24:35   Buy   0.00968511   0.00100000   0.00000969

it goes on and on.

Does it save a few satoshis after buying 1000 x 0.001 DRK in costs (compared to buying 1 x 1 drk ) or something? Cheesy

Just a silly question about the proposed system to sent messages and ip obfuscation (3 masternodes encrypting / decrypting messages) :

What happens when a masternode goes down in that process?
Will the message get trough somehow, or can it never be decrypted again ? :p
I don't know if this was answered but there was always a slave to pick up where the last left off if that were to happen.  Now, I think we have all masternodes that are in line as back up, ie:  1st winning masternode, 2nd in line, 3rd in line, etc...


Yes, it was answered. Thanks, good to know it's redundant!

I thought it was automatically picked up by the next masternode in line, but apparently not.  Listen to our president, he's one of the smartest people here, LOL.  My only talent is IF I understand, I can usually put it into layman's terms... but if I'm not understanding, I screw it up, LOL


Oh np Wink
Most important thing is that the client tries again with a different set of masternodes so it is redundant in that way.

Thank you for your kind words and support.

This project is described in reverse, because of the forum we are in, and also described inadequately because of shortfalls in my own editorial and marketing skills.

The project is to create a scalable and massively viral reputation backed monetary system which increases the fluidity of money via off chain micro-transactions between individuals based on the value of their every day actions. A system who's usage is already an every day concept used by everybody on the web, and who's implementation and integration leads to simple adoption by anybody willing, technical or not. The concept is sound and described in detail with innumerable applications to multiple avenues of every day life and business. Underneath that is the boring but required cryptographic currency part (Bitmark).

Instead the project is described as a currency with some side projects, hardly inspiring.

The problem with funding, is that I believe in the merits of the system with such conviction that I am prepared to lose everything in order to see it come to fruition - although I would prefer not to. The project has it's own momentum and I am committed to that, and must move with it, albeit moving faster than I had anticipated. Once the seed is planted and everyday people see how the simple system affects them, it will change things positively for people are the world.

It is worth doing, and will be done at any cost. If anybody wants to help in any form, then that is precisely what it is, help, which is always appreciated.

We have tried all approaches to ethical funding that have been proposed. Unless there are any more novel ideas, all that remains is for an ethical philanthropist with some belief in what is proposed, to sponsor the next round of work alleviating some pressure, and optionally acquire some of the base currency. By doing so they would secure the project's momentum, my personal well being, and their own investment.

any working addnode ip's please?

They are all baked in to the client, consider checking your firewall or any software which can block the application first. If that doesn't fix it, please send me your debug.log through pm.

i compiled from source, does that make any difference? (not having the ip's then?).
i'll try to get the debug.log tomorrow.
