Discussion on Legacy SilkCoin wallet to help late swappers to New Silk (SLK)

[ttoroie]

While synced, I sent my remaining coins to my weaver, I have repaired the wallet, I just keep getting screwy results. I am waiting to sync again.
My wallet is an easy one maybe the devs can arrange something.

Status: conflicted
Date: 2/11/2016 12:42
To: BEBqc1EMgPCthJCpTFpvVPXr2LCJEQVyaw
Debit: -49828.00 SILK
Transaction fee: -0.0002 SILK
Net amount: -49828.0002 SILK
Transaction ID: 81c63cc0fecf6afc5fc6339e12fe528b7a946a18cae8d3cc7047627b0d4cb04c

Are you still getting errors with checkwallet?

Start the wallet with -rescan option:
Close the wallet
backup the whole folder just in case(the one in roaming)
create a shortcut for the wallet
open properties for the shortcut
in the target line add -rescan at the end
my line would be:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Silkcoin\silkcoin-qt.exe" -rescan

yours could have diff path

It helped me more than once on that issue but you'll have to wait a bit
start the wallet from this shortcut and be patient

Unfortunately the devs have nothing to do with this, only if your coins are in the weaver
the original devs are long gone

I think we need more people involved

edit: very slow synced up to 1758703

Let's face it now: the old silkcoin has been abandoned, there has been plenty of time to do the swap. It is normal that it will not be possible for everybody to swap/recover this old coin.
The same happened with bitcoin when people went looking for their lost private keys when it was too late. I think it is very late.

I agree with what you are saying.  There has to be a point where the madness stops, but for right now, since I do have resources available on my vm hosts, it is only costing me in time spent for the effort.  I'm just hoping that the effort we are expending on this saves at least one person from losing their legacy coins.  I don't even want to try calculating the $$ I've lost in the past due to missing swaps with cut and dry deadline dates.

Agree
for now it's not costing me any money anyway
and even if doing what makes you feel better about yourself won't stop this world from falling
I still gonna do it anyway

[ttoroie]

I've a 40 Silkcoins conflicted tx
Just started the wallet with -rescan option to see what happens
It'll take a while

[Pondi]

Thank you for all your help!

I admire you man, you really love(d) this coin. You helped everyone out without asking for anything. I was not saying that we should not help late comers but I am a bit disappointed about how the old silkcoin holders just forgot about their coin and then discovered they still have value.

Anyway, when SLK will be as it should be I'll remember you

Has anyone (those of us trying to move the chain) gotten any coin moved to staking? My daemon did pick up 1758704 early yesterday.  The daemon has been set to staking for about 36 hours now.

Same here, no stakes yet
I guess the weight line should be more than 0 value

[ttoroie]

Thank you for all your help!

Did you sort that out?!
Not yet, cause your tx doesn't show on explorer

[Pondi]

not yet, I have been having trouble viewing the forum and syncing.
I have rescanned but not synced yet

[ttoroie]

Guys some of the images I posted are gone
tinypic seems to be inaccessible
Not my fault
I switched to imgur

[Pondi]

Something is happening, and it looks good. My wallet synced and my first 2 transactions have been confirmed. I am only waiting for the last transaction now. Thanks to everyone for all the help, much appreciated!

Thanks mate
No worries
Only had to upload them again and edit few posts to change the links
It's just annoying that everything goes wrong: first the wallet sync then bad forum access and now http://tinypic.com/ down
what's next?

Good to hear that Pondi
But if you really want to be thankful then join the movement
Keep some Silkcoins in the wallet and leave it on
You can even join the transfer game we're doing here
Let us know

I got the silk you sent ttoroie. I'll send it back with some extra to try and build up that other wallet.

Pondi, that's good your coins are starting to get confirms.


We moved allot of blocks today. Obviously we need a larger balance. Or our coin age is off.
I say that because this wallet hashed most of the blocks today.

My wallet with 33k is still acting funny imo. The coins are old enough to stake but the wallet still says they are not mature.

McDev, how well did the linux install go? If you get it staking nice I was thinking about putting up a dedicated linux one also.
