I made a guide on the Netcoin forum on how to import private keys.

http://forum.netcoinfoundation.org/thread/814/guide-import-paper-wallet-private

There are many documentations on the "how to's" (many well built & have great detail.), but I'm talking about how most software you see always has a walk through on certain steps & that is the one thing I have seen lacking in crypto over the years. Something that could be automated (many have coded a few that are of great help to the new users, check wallet & repair wallet as a small example of just click here). Not having to open the debug or console & manually doing it.), simply add another tab under help (a few have this already) & make the process more user friendly. NET has a well built wallet, I would say it's one of a kind (not just another copy & paste) & just stating what I've seen over the years.

// If you were to do a study on how many people around the world actually use said manuals (or even search for them), you would be very surprised on how many give up because it wasn't simple & completely user friendly. The results of them trying without looking for said documentations are very high, thus the reason so many people have had all these problems over the years & that is the biggest flaw I see in crypto to date (just my 2 sat's). I have been trying to say this for years, but keep seeing many other things being focused on & just don't understand? All this talk about real world adaption, but we still lack the utmost needs of people to actually want to use it (not directed toward NET, but crypto in general)?

Couldn't agree more. Case in point,  I consider myself fairly pc literate and been involved with crypto mining/ trading for over a year and still run into roadblocks like the simple paper wallet transfer mentioned in previous post. I can't imagine an average windows point and clicker navigating thru that.

Thank you, it was what I was looking, I have already done the download and the wallet is almost synchronized, has saved me so much time !!!

Now I'm trying to fill in the wallet of raspberry pi, all ok but when I go to run the file netcoin-qt I have this error: Segmentation fault. Any advice for me?

The raspberry pi is not supported at this time. Think it's a problem with the libraries and ram.  You will have to wait for the next update being worked on.


Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hello, thanks for the information, the wallet contains too many graphics features for raspberry, there should be a wallet say (lite) with only the basic functions and the POS of course!

Hey everyone,

what is the recommended blockchain explorer for netcoin?

Hey! Can you help me with the linux wallet? I run multiple coins without problems. but netcoin occasionally crashes. the daemon keeps running, but i see the error

getinfo
error: {"code":-1,"message":"CDB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error -30973"}

when i want to restartt i see

That is annoying indeed but it's a odd one. Which version of libdb are you using? You need to use v4.7 not 5.
Did you try -repairwallet instead of -salvagewallet?
Also not sure why you want to use the -disablesafemode command.

Ah okay Thank you.. Yey, with repairwallet my balances do not show up again, i probably need salvagewallet. disablesafemode is to keep on mining even if "the network is having troubles"
 on my long way for a working package combination that fits all altcoins ob ubuntu 14 i ended using this command line

sudo apt-get install git build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev git libdb5.1++-dev libminiupnpc-dev make zip screen nano ncdu libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libqrencode-dev libqt4-dev libminiupnpc8 miniupnpc libcurl4-gnutls-dev libdb5.1++-dev libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev libglib2.0-dev wx2.8-headers libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk-media2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev

looks like 5.1 . how could i install and compile with libdb 4.7 ?

First it's libdb4.8 my bad You need to remove the old libdb apt-get remove libdb5.1* then you need to follow this guide. It,s for bitcoin but it works for pretty much all coins.

great. thank you. but before trying that, i should sent my coins from the old wallet.. new problem: blocks do not sync ( since 3 days now.. )

{
    "version" : "v2.3.1.0",
    "protocolversion" : 70001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,

    "timeoffset" : -4,
    "moneysupply" : 376340821.63015902,

can somebody please give me new adresses for addnode?

You don't need addnode can leave it blank had 12 connections. Also you don't necessarily have to send the coins to another adress, all you have to do is backup/extract the privatekey(s) of your Netcoin adress(es) (which i advise you to always do anyway and backup the wallet.dat aswell just to be safe).
Backing up the privatekey you can do via the console help->debugscreen. For extracting the privatekey the wallet needs to be completely unlocked if your wallet is encrypted (NOT encrypted can skip this) so type in console:

lockwallet
walletpassphrase <your walletpassphrase here> 600

Now that the wallet is unlocked you can extract the privatekey by typing in the console:

dumpprivkey <your Netcoinadress>

!!! You need to do this for every single adress you want backed up and keep it safe because if someone got a hold of your privatekey they can steal your coins!!!!

Importing the privatekey into the new wallet you can read in this thread previous page or on http://forum.netcoinfoundation.org/thread/814/guide-import-paper-wallet-private

Make sure you always have the wallet from a official source so or the Netcoin github https://github.com/netcoinfoundation/netcoin or the infosite http://netcoinfoundation.org/!!!

I always hear lots about block size and splitting coins up. So I have a newbie question.

How I gotta create multiple wallets? Using coin control does it randomly select wallet size or does it pick the best?  Thanks!

No need to split with NET In fact I combined all my coins into a single big block (~1 million NET).

To create multiple wallets, you just need to add one or more new addresses and transfer (part of) your coins there. With the coin control you can choose the blocks you want to use to transfer or combine your coins.

Hope this help!

Why do I see such huge price variations recently? Any explanation behind that?
