Hello,

I've been reading this: " https://github.com/eagleflies/noblecoin/wiki/Importing-private-keys-from-old-wallet.dat-using---salvagewallet-option " over and over again and I just don't understand the part 5. ... So to begin with, I had a PoW wallet ENCRYPTED on my PC#1 so I downloaded a new PoW wallet without encryption to my PC#2 and sent all my Nobles from my PC#1 to my new wallet on my PC#2 which is not encrypted and everything went fine. Then I back-upped my wallet.dat from the PC#2 PoW wallet and copied that wallet.dat to my PoS wallet roaming folder.

But what I need to do next? Where do I put that "-salvagewallet" command? I tried to start my PoS wallet just by clicking the PoS noblecoin-qt and the program just crashed like I thought and then I added the -salvagewallet command after the noblecoin-qt.exe like this "noblecoin-qt -salvagewallet" and started it but it gave me an error report and crashed.

So where do I put that -salvagewallet command or is there somewhere some salvagewallet.exe which I need to run? Thanks.

The important question is have you sent the money before the switch? IF afterwards it does not matter and money is still in encrypted wallet. Documentation was written before the switch and presented option of transferring money to unencrypted wallet. But now this option does not exist anymore. I have updated docs to present current options.

So in this situation, our coins are lost? My old wallet was encrypted, i sent the coins to unencrypted wallet, and then used the -salvage function..things worked fine, except my coin balance is 0 instead of what it should be. So I think what you just said indicates that for us with previously encrypted wallets, who haven't moved the coins BEFORE now have in effect lost them. Correct? Thank you in advance for this clarification.

Coins are still controlled by encrypted wallet. Because we did swap by ourselves there is no time limit. So do not worry. Just make sure to keep backup of encrypted wallet somewhere.

Please continue with manual method https://github.com/eagleflies/noblecoin/wiki/Manual-way-of-importing-private-keys

Okay, I sent my coins back from my new unencrypted PoW wallet to the original encrypted PoW wallet (which contained all my coins BEFORE the switch) and tried to dumpprivkey [address] just like in the manual. Now I get error message: {"code":-4,"message":"Private key for address "my_address" is not known"}

Just what the feck is going on, how can this be so hard. What should I do next?

Yes, I think the instructions on the github are valid IF and ONLY IF the original POW wallet was NOT encrypted. Once we followed the instructions to send the POW coins to a new unencrypted wallet, I think the coins got hung in limbo and we are screwed.

Really hope that you are wrong...

Fortunately this is incorrect. Money is still controlled by private key which is in the encrypted wallet. So whatever you do just make sure to keep its backup somewhere.

Longer explanation:

1. Switch (migration of coins from old to new blockchain) happened at block #534500 at old blockchain
2. All addresses and all balances at this exact moment were copied over new blockchain
3. After this moment any changes (transactions, mining etc) on old blockchain does not matter.
4. In your specific case transferring coins after the switch just makes this all more confusing. What is important is private key from your PoW wallet which controls an address where coins were stored at the time of switch

Things to do:

1. I have added 'Slightly modified manual procedure' to docs. Please follow it https://github.com/eagleflies/noblecoin/wiki/Manual-way-of-importing-private-keys
2. Could you paste here or PM me with original address where your coins were stored?

I tried the modified manual procedure and it gave me all the addresses where I've received coins in the past (exchanges and mining pools). But all of them indicated 0.0000 received, except my own wallet address which showed all the transactions combined together (since I sent my whole balance to new wallet and then sent it back after the switch). And when I tried to dumpprivkey all the addresses, every address gave me the same error report. My original POW wallet with all the coins is 9ePBC3gkAEWqcHUyLidDJtsdt98targJEw

So at this point I'm 100% sure what is going on. I understand what I should have done and I understand what I did wrong.

edit. And I understand that the POW private key from the original POW wallet which contained all my coins before the switch is the most important thing now, which might be unable to reveal after all this mess.

Questions:

1. Have you unlocked your wallet before trying to dump priv key?
2. It is also possible your encrypted wallet get corrupted somehow in effect of efforts to get priv keys. Please copy (not move!) it from backup location and try again

Doesn't the un-encrypting require complete new wallet? I thought you can only change the password.

Mind you, we are discussion 'unlocking' not 'unencrypting'. Please check three last methods from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list

You need to unlock your wallet using 'walletpassphrase' method and only then you will be able to dump private keys belonging to your addresses.

An example on my old wallet:

Code:

./noblecoind listreceivedbyaddress 1 true
[
   {
   "address" : "9Zi27cKsoKNFNc1QqTtQeNrLYjLSKH9Gto",
   "account" : "",
   "amount" : 0.00000000,
   "confirmations" : 0
   }
]

./noblecoind dumpprivkey 9Zi27cKsoKNFNc1QqTtQeNrLYjLSKH9Gto
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Private key for address 9Zi27cKsoKNFNc1QqTtQeNrLYjLSKH9Gto is not known"}

./noblecoind walletpassphrase 123 900

./noblecoind dumpprivkey 9Zi27cKsoKNFNc1QqTtQeNrLYjLSKH9Gto
P4wpXXbC4871qsd8VCDzN7cZ3L2pbVtnPLLdqBGXPijfzA6SgpX8

Thank you! That was it! I opened my original POW wallet and typed in console: walletpassphrase (mypassword) 900
Then dumpprivkey (myaddress) and it gave me the goddamn private key finally

Then importprivkey to my new POS wallet and there it is, all my nobles safely on my POS wallet.

Gotta tell you that I would never believed that I can get my Nobles back, so thank you very much

edit. And I'm pretty sure everything is working because it says "Minting. Your weight is 227818. Network weight is 418959937. Expected time to earn reward is 1 day(s)."
