Yes I went into File, Backup Wallet .., saved the .dat file and then replaced the current .dat file with a previous auto-saved.dat file. I received an error message about the client not being found and the wallet crashed. I restarted the wallet with a zero balance although the block chain was still synced. I cannot access the private keys now. I may have just burned a masternode.
why cant you acccess the private keys now?
have you tried different wallet backups?
Its because now I have a different wallet entirely it seems. if I request a dumpprivkey on the console, I get this message: Private key for address EaAi5DsnT7Qmo2NEWQP7nweNPowTqnZmmj is not known (code -4). but I didn't do that before replacing the .dat file before so I think I lost my old wallet with all the coins. Damn.
Question: In your guide you say to enter rpcallowip=127.*.*.*:* into the .conf file. Is that is supposed to be replaced with my specific ip address found through getpeerinfo?
there are 10 automatically created backups in my exclusivecoin/backups folder, do you have other ones to try? i assume that every time i start up it replaces the oldest one so make a backup of them all might be a good idea.
is to allow local rpc connections such as miners for PoW, it is not actually necessary for the masternodes.
