If you have an Emercoin private key generated with the old paperwallet you can use the "reencodeoldprivkey" debug command, specially added in Emercoin 0.5.x.

e.g:

reencodeoldprivkey XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It should return the same key to you, but in the format that is suitable for 0.5.x and higher. Then you use importprivkey as usual.

ALSO

Walletgenerator.net has recently been updated to hopefully fix this problem, and work with Emercoin's newer address format.

If anyone in the community has a chance, please confirm that the Walletgenerator.net is now working with latest Emercoin. Hopefully the Walletgenerator.net problems are fixed!

As far as I know they were "Technology Partners", not running a business together. Emercoin's Name-Value-Storage (NVS) is used by other projects, including: OpenNic, Polybius, ChronoBank, and others, and I believe Emercoin CTO assisted these projects with integration of Emercoin blockchain tech. He may also have acted as trusted 3rd-party escrow for some of these projects.

I don't know anything about investors being fucked out of their funds. What I can say is that Emercoin is separate from the projects that an individual developer chooses to get involved with. Emercoin is an open-source Bitcoin/Peercoin/Namecoin derivative (with a known coin supply), a platform that everyone is free to use and develop upon.

We are all highly aware of your allegations already. If you do have a serious issue, then pursue it in a serious way outside this forum rather than just repeatedly spamming the general members of this forum, who have done nothing wrong to you. The repeated spamming and personal attacks against certain individuals seem like a joke and unlikely to help your claims to be taken seriously.

The Emercoin community has done nothing to wrong you. The Emercoin community are here to assist users with questions about the opensource project, such as help with wallets and backup of private keys, and discussion about news relating to the project. I don't think the core devs who you have a problem with even read this thread anymore, so your attacks are only landing repeatedly on the wrong ears.

Unless your posts are productive and contributing something new then I suggest everyone who follows this thread should flag your posts as off-topic.

I just got this answer... Apparently you can use the "reencodeoldprivkey" debug command, specially added in version 0.5.x

e.g

reencodeoldprivkey 6RADQpd6fn1pXEy3cYBUVRqHauZeKaqn258r4geRGHRvyAa7PGE

It should return the same key to you, but in the format that is suitable for 0.5.x and higher.

Then you use importprivkey as usual.

Also, don't ever post your private key in public. I hope you know that, and were just using an example.

From what I understand, Emercoin changed address format at some time after 0.3.7, which caused the paperwallet to stop working. I don't know why they did that, if that's right. There is discussion to try to fix the paperwallet for Emercoin on GitHub https://github.com/MichaelMure/WalletGenerator.net/issues/48

The solution seems to be to import your key into emercoin 0.3.7, then move the wallet.dat to the latest Emercoin. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=362513.msg19914789#msg19914789

But I don't know where 0.3.7 is available anymore. The link from maxihatop doesn't seem to work, So hopefully one of the devs will provide a solution.

I think your key should still be valid, just needs the right encoding.

You can, but the reward will wind up just about the same if you combine them and gain one pos reward, compared to leaving them split and gaining two pos rewards for two inputs half the size.

I think the intention behind the pos splitting, which is inherited from Peercoin, is to help ensure that there are always a healthy number of inputs in the network that are eligible to mint blocks (promoting the chance that pos blocks are minted regularly). So by allowing it to split, you are helping the network and getting the same reward over time. ((related discussion can be found by googling similar topics raised by the Peercoin community.))

I think it does make sense to occasionally re-combine inputs as you suggested, but only when some individual inputs in your wallet have become so small that you think you will have better chances of minting a block if they are combined.

It may even be possible to modify the client to split and re-combine depending on different conditions than the default - Maybe the emc devs could add some user-configurable options for how splitting is handled in future? I think that would be a nice option.

Anyway, as the reward should be about the same, I wouldn't bother re-combining manually unless you have many many small inputs.

I am not quite sure of your question without a link to the transaction in the block explorer, however:

When you successfully stake a block and receive the minting reward the wallet will split the original coins + reward into two equal inputs, and the coin-age is reset to 0 on both of the new inputs (meaning that each of those inputs then has another 30 days to mature and stake and split again). Congratulations on minting a block

answered on the emercoin thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=362513.msg24097730#msg24097730

If an amount is shown in the "stake" column then this means your wallet is in the process of trying to mint a block and earn the staking reward with those coins. They are temporarily unspendable during this time, which I believe lasts 32 bocks (someone please correct me if I am wrong).

If you want to prevent your coins from staking then enter 'reservebalance=1000000' in your emercoin.conf file and restart the client.

Otherwise just be patient until they finish trying to stake and you will be ale to send them again.

Use either the command line or GUI to issue a NAME_UPDATE

see: https://wiki.emercoin.com/en/Emercoin_NVS#Managing_NVS_entries

"NAME_UPDATE - update values, change owner, or extend the registration."

The current Technology Tree / Roadmap is published here https://wiki.emercoin.com/en/Main_Page#Technology_Tree

The devs may wish to update it at some time soon

I think a patch that fixes a problem with Walletgenerator.net should be submitted as a Pull Request to their project at https://github.com/MichaelMure/WalletGenerator.net

Maybe the EMC devs make a custom paperwallet in future, but now such a patch should be to the main Walletgenerator project.

I notice the outstanding issue raised by Maxihatop remains at https://github.com/MichaelMure/WalletGenerator.net/issues/48 but I don't know if anyone fixed this yet.

Or maybe the problem is best fixed by submit patch to EMC GitHub? I don't know about the problem, however I do not see people complain about BTC key generated with Walletgenerator.net

If someone submit a patch to GitHub that helps with EMC problem then it's fair to expect some EMC donation to whoever is responsible for the patch.

I don't have a price prediction, but it would be good to see the devs publish an updated roadmap soon.

However, there are already many excellent Emercoin technologies that exist and are there ready for people to build new services and features on them.

Undoubtedly there's new announcements coming up, but what Emercoin needs is for the community to step up and build on the platform rather than just asking when the price is going to go up.

There are positive developments almost every week (Just yesterday a wallet for iOS was released!) so not sure what is going on with the price. Alts price exploded in a big way a few months ago and it's been a roller-coaster for many alts since then. The price movements of Peercoin, Namecoin and Emercoin have all been similar. I noticed some price speculation going on at https://steemit.com/emercoin/@maarnio/crypto-contest-october-8-emercoin

Due to excessive spambots on Slack, joining Emercoin on Slack is now a manual process.

To receive an invitation to the Emercoin Slack you now need to send a PM to user emerbot on Bitcointalk.org with your email address. Invitations will be sent within ~24 hours. Only non-spam accounts will be accepted.

I agree with this, but as well as http://www.f2pool.com/ (who only pay 1 emc per block) you can also do merge mining with https://mergemining.com (who pay more) or with p2pool if you set it up yourself. There is  is a p2pool guide here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1921525.0 However, with p2pool you would be solo-mining emc and so need lots of patience or luck to mine a block.

I love how this app lets us choose our own emc server, and is open-source, rather than a proprietary system. I will try and test it in the coming days!

I remember this problem happening before and this was the answer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=362513.msg16835114;topicseen#msg16835114

It suggests a possible solution is to get an old version of emercoin-qt and then upgrade to the latest, but keep the same wallet.dat. .. but I am not sure where you can download version v0.3.7 anymore.

Apologies I can't be of much more immediate help. If you can't work it out then please contact one of the developers by private message or ask in the Emercoin slack.

As I remember it's the same as bitcoin-qt? Open the debug console and type importprivkey "youremercoinprivkey"
