This is a mining issue and should have been posted in Mining for the best response and forum clarity.

This area is support for the Qt Wallet and feathercoind daemon related issues.

I think, you got an answer in your other thread:
[url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,5868.0.html]http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,5868.0.html[/url]

would be great, if you could edit the Subject line of this thread and add a [SOLVED] at the beginning

Yes, you can. Assuming you can import it.

But WATCH OUT FOR CHANGE ADDRESSES!!!

When you spend coins in the QT wallet, often times it will send the change back to a DIFFERENT address. You’ll need the key to this address too… and it may not be obvious where that key is.

The best way to be sure is to check the address in the block explorer. If your total balance is there, you’re good. If it’s not, you can always do a spend to that address, but you may end up paying a miner fee if you’re not careful just to consolidate your coins.

The best way to deal with this problem is to use a client that supports HD keys, because once you back up that key, you can recreate any key that might have been used.

How does this affect my paper-wallet-value? I sent all my coins to the adress which I printed. The privkey on this same paper has to be ‘‘importprivkey xxxx’’ to ANY client to redeem the coins from the paper-wallet. I don’t see how a different address will affect my redeeming since there will be only the addres(ses) which are in my own client.

It doesn’t. You’re good.

When this becomes a problem is when you import the key, and spend some of the coins. At that time, you might expect the remainder of your coins to still be on your paper wallet, but you could be wrong.

Ah you scared me a little! :o I’ve seen someone who had that problem just posted somewhere on the forum a few days ago.

Anyhow, both thanks for the help! +1

what was the solution?

I’ve seen there has been a lot of work by the dev team getting the release of Feathercoin-Qt 0.8.5 ready. It can be followed in forum under technical development or the Github.

They deserve a lot of Rep +++ … Once all the issues are met, there has also been a lot of work done packaging up software for all the different operating systems.

I’ve noticed in the moderator room that the team have been diverted by media interest and a helping support new members as forum numbers surge to new records.

So, it has gone a bit unnoticed that we released Feathercoin-Qt 0.8.5 Beta3 and RC1 for general download.

Testing and fine tuning of a couple of things like “translations” are on going. I think the idea is to fix any issues for RC2. Await reports back of any problems.

Then release to the public on the “Main download page”. Peter is lead developer though and priorities can change.

With this release we unusually have the benefit of a large amount of pre testing Bitcoin and Litecoin networks, so they have usually fixed or devised a work around to bugs.

Thanks uncle-muddy rep+1 For that. It doesn’t answer all of them but its a start.

That’s a turbo-charged diesel with the glow plugs, right? Check the block heater. If the block is too cold, it can rob the plugs of heat and prevent a start even with good plugs and wiring. You may want to replace it if you don’t feel an extreme amount of warmth coming off it after a few seconds of operation. Just be careful, those things can get hot. :o

lol. Yeah, that’s about what I have it narrowed down to. It gets warm, but I’m not thinking warm enough for a Michigan winter.

Ok mystery solved.

The change was transferred to a second wallet on another PC that I completely forgot existed from when first starting out with feathercoin.

I’d like to thank everybody who posted for their assistance.

Hurray :D

If you want to offer separate services as an individual, it is ok to start different threads. I think it is a good idea to leave a few days between threads to avoid the appearance of spamming.

Just to clarify the section in the Code of Conduct about advertising, it was put in place to avoid merchants creating a separate thread for practically every item they may sell in their store, or for every single special offer they decide to run. If each of the services you decide to offer is distinctly different, this would not apply in any case, but thank you for raising the question and my apologies for the delay in answering it.

This looks solved :) Just browsed over to the market place and the OP has started a new thread :)

N1 :)

Everything is calculated, only left is little color theory for the best results and appropriate materials to print on ( best for use and quite cheap so everyone could use it ). Goal is to defeat the hardware/software wallets and to make it possible to have your funds into your real wallet and when needed to pay with your phone with best security in mind and receive funds without being afraid for your private key.

At the moment I’m on stage where project could be used for paper wallet used for backup and I’m on 70% to make it for everyday use :)

Any Feedback on testing is best done in Technical Development.

Thanks for your input. Feathercoin is a community project run by volunteers, we all help when we can. Any support in any area is much appreciated, it means things will get done quicker and better.

Absolutely. I wouldn’t encrypt something I couldn’t retrieve if I didn’t believe within reason that I would remember the code.

You need 10 post before you can give rep I was looking for it last week and the button only appeared after my 10th post

Hi all, just to let you know that removing the files as suggested above has fixed the problem and it is now downloading the blocks :)

Thank you all for your help :)

Still need review, Bump

While there are a lot of people joining the network it helps to keep some extra wallets online to sync their blockchains. Otherwise, you don’t need to have it on, it will sync when you re start it.

If you go to options you can set the daemon to start (service) at boot up. The daemon will run in the background to keep the blockchain up to date and offers other services to web pages and other applications, without having to start the client.

Sometimes it is better to “dribble in” the blockchain, than wait while it all syncs at once. Especially if you need to send some coins.

The Android application uses the reduced block chain only downloading the Blockchain headers and some appropriate full transactions. There have been discussions about allowing the normal client to have a reduced blockchain database, and that feature will probably be included with time.

Sometimes it takes a little while to catch a first connection, I assume you synced and set solved. Let us know if further problems on a new thread.
