I am in the same boat. I have some Faircoins from an old wallet last updated on 05/2014 and looking to see if there is anyway to recover them and move to an exchange.

any help would be really appreciated

Thanks

you can update to faircoin 2, just by downloading the same wallet, on the new version on your computer
https://download.faircoin.world
it should detect your /.faircoin folder, and get the private key for giving you access

I got the following error when the new faircoin2 wallet tried to read the wallet.dat from the older verison.

Error reading wallet.dat! All Keys read correctly, but transaction data or address book entries might be missing or incorrect

I did not get any such errors with the old wallet and it opened up fine.

Please help

You should not manually copy the old wallet.dat file over. Instead, just make sure the old wallet.dat is located at the FairCoin1 default location: ~/.FairCoin/wallet.dat and that there is no wallet.dat file at the new location: ~/.faircoin2/wallet.dat. Once you have these files in the right place start the FairCoin2 wallet and it will automatically convert and copy the wallet.dat for you.

An excellent coin. Bitrex is not a very convenient exchange. Add to the new stock exchanges please.

when will price pick up?
value stays relative the same though compared to BTC it lost more then half its value

[kabaneri]

The conversion process found here: https://github.com/faircoin/faircoin/wiki/FairCoin2-migration-FAQ  seems not work.
I've got the same issue and my wallet balance is still 0.
I've checked the lib and it sounds good.

What do you think about that ?

ps sorry for my broken english

This looks very worth watching.

Greetings, friends at FairCoin! As Komodo Platform has been working around the clock to fine-tune the multiple GUI's that are the face of our Agama multiwallet and BarterDEX atomic swap protocols, there have obviously been many bugs found and many debugged. However, one bug in particular was found not only in our Agama GUI wallet, but also in the zcash4mac GUI swing wallet. It is a simple bug, but it warrants your attention. This is a potential money cost bug, and as a Bitcoin-protocol cryptocurrency, your GUI wallet(s) may be susceptible.

watchonly-GUI bug: 'watchonly' addresses appearing as your own in GUI wallet; users could potentially send funds to the address, unaware it is not theirs or available for withdrawal.  You can import <any address> and it becomes a 'watchonly' address. The GUI will display the address as yours, add its funds to your balance, and accept deposits, but cannot be withdrawn. This could be a normal address, my address, a p2sh address, satoshi's address, etc. This can be confusing to an end-user and will lead to many headaches for the developer, as is always the case with misplaced funds.

FOUND: in Komodo Platform's Agama multiwallet (fixed) and zcash4mac GUI swing wallet (@jl777b: "newest QT wallet seems ok about watch only, but not sure of older and when it was fixed")

ex. @grewalsatinder found the bug in his zcash swing wallet: https://i.imgur.com/sVd0QTL.png

"satinder used zcash4mac, ie. the zcash osx GUI, not ours... the assumption is no GUI out there properly handles watch only addresses, until proven that they do... agama also had this bug, which we found and fixed, so it seems a very common bug to have"

SOLUTION: For the 'watchonly' address or any address not yours, the value 'ismine' returns false. Any such address gets filtered out.

QUESTIONS:

• How does your recommended GUI deal with watchonly addresses?
• Does your GUI display watchonly addresses as different than actual addresses in the wallet?

We need to experiment a bit to see which approach gets a better response triggering the bug. People WILL lose money if they send funds to a watchonly address.

"the t3 addresses in the 'Own Addresses' column! and they absolutely cant be as they are p2sh addresses. it is clear proof that the bug is very real and anybody that understands a p2sh address will understand it cant be something in your wallet. it is usually a multisig address, so only if it is a 1of1 multisig (possible but very silly) can you have a p2sh address that is spendable, but the wallet wont even know it... normal addresses can also be watchonly, which makes this even worse. in that case it would appear in the list of addresses just like all the others. even if you are able to spot p2sh addresses visually, it wont be enough"

I've been tasked with spreading awareness and facilitating discussion of this bug, so please let me know if you have any questions. I'll get you some answers and we can minimize the impact. We wanted to reach out directly to the developers of the 60+ coins featured on Agama and BarterDEX as the bug may have a direct impact on you (via your own GUI wallet).

Hi,
did you got the coins from airdrop? if yes, maybe there is no option to recover them.
if you want, send PM and I will help you to detect the problem.

[Matrxil2]

The team has big plans for this coin. She will be good.

So did this get figured out? Or the coins were from an airdrop?

Reading more into Faircoin I am surprised that there is not a lot of community presence here but plenty of updates on other sites and the official price of Faircoin is not the price it is trading at on Bittrex and makes me think somehow somewhere somebody is getting rich through Arbitrage by buying at Bittrex and selling to those that do not know of Bittrex, cool, wish it was me.

(but really where can I sell this coin for a 1:1 with the Euro?)

you can to do that on Bank Of The Commons:

but there are limits, to prevent arbitrage

Hello FairCoin community,

FairCoin is available for atomic swap trading on Komodo Platform's BarterDEX! Right now, P2P, on Mainnet. Anyone can test it out if you'd like. We are taking privacy to new heights by keeping your funds and privkeys in YOUR HANDS! zK-SNARK coin Jumblr in YOUR HANDS! Liquidity of each coin is still building, but BarterDEX can pair your coin with any other of the 60+ coins on the exchange. If a team member, perhaps someone from marketing, would like to test out an atomic swap through our GUI, please send me a DM : )

Welcome to the BarterDEX decentralized exchange!

Trade freely and safely,
Jay
