BTCD is no more

[jl777]

For those not following NXT, I have been divorced from NXT.

...

A passport system for assets that allows the asset holder to decide the blockchain they want to reside in. While the PoS mechanism is fully protecting the NXT holders as designed, it allows the creation of a hardfork that ignores other parts of the ecosystem, like assets.

James, have you considered starting a 'relationship' with Qora after your divorce from NXT?

I think you would find the Qora dev team very easy to work with on something like your asset passports protocol.

The passport systems requires that any blockchain that wants to participate would be able to. It is an interop standard. I am working on a method that will allow weaker chains to utilize BTC for security. Not for all tx, but for a backstop past which all the tx in that chain would become permanent

But in all the scenarios, iguana must be fully working first, so for now I will be slogging through all the bitcoin rpc and make sure they are working.well almost all, there are a few RPC that are not relevant in iguana's context.

Friends, is it possible to make my own paper wallet for BTCD and other altcoins?
I don't mean an online wallet generator. Just a few wallets for own usage where paper wallets are not available.

Thank you

Thank you for providing the above link.
My question was if it's possible to create somehow a paper wallet for every altcoin by myself
e.g. to generate the public and private address somehow without using paper generators.

There are altcoins without paper wallets so I want to store my coins on paper.

Week 40: 20 BTCD have been paid to 597 unique BitcoinDark addresses for successfully staking blocks 974715-985309

Thanks for staking and supporting the BitcoinDark network.  40 weeks in and still going strong. Another nice 20 BTCD paid to stakers.  James continues to make progress on the BTCD/SN ecosystem.  At some point things will come together and start to pay dividends, literally.

I would not create the BTCD wallet online. Download the open source code of walletgenerator.net on https://github.com/MichaelMure/WalletGenerator.net and create the BTCD paper wallet on a computer without an internet connection.

Thank you this is like clock work

i downloaded the btcd wallet from the main ANN page 1 for windows and the SHA-1 Hash is different, i got
A5C13C0234302DBEA78065EA166E69725A6F997A

this is different than what is listed on page 1.

i used http://onlinemd5.com/ to get the SHA-1 hash. 

where do i download the btcd wallet from?

There are altcoins without paper wallets so I want to store my coins on paper.

iguana has API that supports rosetta addresses. Internally all the bitcoin and curve25519 coins use 256 bit privkeys.

This is mapped to pubkeys. And usually with an SHA256 front end you can create the high entropy 256 bits to use for the privkey.

Each coin just has a different address type that is combined with the rmd160(sha256(pubkey)) to create the address. There are dozens of hash and hmac API to help with creating high entropy privkeys and also all the required converters from one format to another.

Not sure what functions you need, but whatever it is there is already and iguana API for it, or it wont take long at all to make one.

Is the super net wallet disabled?   I just tried pulling some coins off through multi gateway and it gets stuck.  also nxt asset exchange in the advanced section is says api is disabled when trying to buy/sell

If I use the windows QT wallet, lets say a fresh installation without any coins in it.
I transfer e.g. 20 BTCD into an address. Can the wallet give me the privkey so that I write that sending address and privkey to a paper and then delete the QT wallet (including wallet.dat) and in one year later I use the privkey to send the coins from paper to a new QT wallet?

works just as in plain vanilla bitcoin:

go to <debug window>
open <console> tab
enter:
walletunlock <yourpassphrase> 777
dumpprivkey <address_you_want_key_of>

privkey is printed in console

Essentially you are creating a paper wallet.

Make sure you use an Air Gapped PC.

Why not just use a paper wallet generator?

as I understand, paper wallet generators are js scripts that run in a browser- I would not trust that...

at least, you would have to save the html with the js locally, disconnect rom the netwook while you use it, and scrub the browser thoroughly afterwards.
to me, that makes the old fashioned dumpprivkey method much easier and less insecure.

As I said, Air Gapped PC... probably best is to use a LIVE CD type install so once you turn off the PC, everything you did is gone.

I'm not sure why you would trust a QT wallet any more than an HTML wallet generator. In each case, you want to make sure you are offline. in other words don't trust either one to not share your private keys. I would still do it on a LIVE CD air gapped PC.

The advantage to a paper wallet generator is that it will allow you to encrypt your PK. It will provide you a QR code with your keys and it will generate a PDF of said information to allow for you to easily print several copies to "backup" in various locations. This is much more error proof the manually writing a private key down.

Up to you of course.

I mostly want it for altcoins which do not have paper wallets.

Hi All,

Started up my qt wallet and just as the "Verifying database integrity" process ended got the following message

Runaway exception

A fatal error occurred.

EXCEPTION: st13runtime_error
init blockindex (): error opening database environment Corruption: bad record length
C:|Users...bitcoindark-qt.exe

Tried several times- same result.

OS is windows 7 64 bit

Presumably, same as for sync problems I'll need to download a new wallet but the link on the op https://mega.nz/#!ooZAmBwL!ghTTgRvGoa7zhoCMjxs-aJD56CGXSY17YI9cjcZ83Sw is for  an auto-conf.rar file


On the website http://bitcoindark.com the wallet link reads "Download Soon"

where can I download the QT wallet?

Thanks.

i downloaded the btcd wallet from the main ANN page 1 for windows and the SHA-1 Hash is different, i got
A5C13C0234302DBEA78065EA166E69725A6F997A

this is different than what is listed on page 1.

i used http://onlinemd5.com/ to get the SHA-1 hash. 

where do i download the btcd wallet from?

Which wallet did you download, osx or windows?

Thanks for responding. i downloaded the windows version.

The checksum is for the .rar file, not the individual QT file within it.  I rechecked it and it is correct
