booo…i got an error while importing the key :( Invalid private key (code -5). Someone already used it or something? Never done this before…

Great newsletter as always, though ;)

No, someone hasn’t used it.

Private keys are 64 characters long. If you don’t have 64 characters, you don’t have a private key.

I have been reading troll box again and it has been especially brutal today :'( But thankyou so much to my feathercoin family and weekly newsletter I am feeling better again ;D
Nice one guys, can we have a daily one please ;)

Dystopia

I don’t understand everything but I’m glade to see Feathercoin grow up ;)

Thanks for the another great news letter.
Found and imported the private key but my balance didn’t change though I have the correct address 6jaRJ2r3Z4GGT6Roz44iNmfmefvi9BYir8 in my wallet now.
guess it was found.

I figured out the need to rescan the after importing and it worked +50 FTC thank you very much.
I believe in sharing one’s good fortune so 10 FTC to the next four replies provided you have at least 2 posts on the forum before now.
Please leave your address in your post. It’s late here in Ireland and it will probably be tomorrow evening when I get off work before I get time to send them so hang tight.

Good read, doesn’t seem like a week has passed since the last one. 8)

Edit: oh just seen the last post, 6sw84y1KoTJf4UefBDnPAotPirDbwCjppb if you’re being generous ;)

Explicit

Keep your coins :)

This does not apply to this thread directly, but I think it doesn’t hurt to remind new people on this forum who are _backing up_ their wallets to cold wallets (= saving private keys for addresses) that when:

x FTC is saved to address A, and then
y (out of x) FTC is spent from this address
remaining (x-y) FTC are not available through address A any more.

After you spend some of your coins from an address, knowing the private key of this address is of very little use.
This is a good read on change in BTC, but it applies to FTC as well. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Change

It is very easy to cut yourself in this way.
But, as long as you have your wallet.dat backed up, you are fine (in this regard).

The 10 FTC will be going to
Stevenfeather
Mharrison
Vidicus if an address is provided by 19:00 GMT

Explicit seem to have passed up the offer if I misinterpreted let me know by 19:00

If I don’t have an address from vidicus at 19:00hrs then the final 10 FTC will go to flcph.

Will do these when i get home from work.

Edit: 19:00hrs

Huh…anyone care to explain how did he get that private key? :)
[/quote]

The second half of the private key was buried behind the @CheckaZ link at the end of the introduction. We put it on Twitter https://twitter.com/ChekaZ_/status/423133049673359360

Don’t worry there will be more bounties :D

MrWyrm

What a lovely positive read. Top work! :D
