I havent given up yet....
the MRS blockchain explorer shows them STUCK in the blockchain, but 0 confirms
they have been stuck in blockchain for quite some time now
luckily I had a few backups of the wallet.dat
because I had solo mined alot of MRS when it first came out,
what I didnt realize is that there is like 1000's addresses in the wallet:
looks like every solo-mined block used a "new address",
and just dumping the privkeys for the addresses
that showed up using the getaddressesbyaccout "" command
must not have listed them all.
using the listaddressgroupings command, it revealed ALOT more addresses
I was able to find literally 1000 addresses in a backedup wallet,
but 1000s of addresses is too much work to dump & import keys 1 by 1:
so I wrote some linux bash scripts to save all addresses to a text file,
then another script to mass dump the privkeys of all those addresses to a txt file,
and then another script to mass import all those priv keys into a fresh new wallet.dat
I am resycing the blockchain now to see if the "lost coins" will show back up....
it is also taking a very long time to import 1000s of privkeys, lol
im crossing my fingers and saying my prayers - lol.
I also just lost alot of BEN coins trying to send to cryptsy.....
cryptsy showed them as pending, but still 0 confirms after 48hrs!
but managed to recover them all...
So there still may be some hope for the MRS...
If my Marscoins show back up in my wallet, I will be sending you the LTC bounty for your help :-)
looks like if your coins get stuck in blockchain with 0 confirms due to insufficient fees for miners to confirm / relay TX
you need to immediately use that listaddressgroupings command,
and then dump the privkeys for ALL addresses it reports.
stop the wallet client from running
rename wallet.dat to something else,
delete blockchain files
restart wallet client
import all the dumped privkeys
wait for blockchain to download
say a prayer!
and hopefully lost coins will be recovered.
