Re: [XPM] [ANN] Primecoin Release - First Scientific Computing Cryptocurrency

Okay, can we get instruction on how to extract coin from our DigitalOcean droplet. It has been so long since I have had to do console/coding like this Sad

Sure. I do it this way:

ssh into remote instance
./primecoind listtransactions > copy the address mentioned in the output at "address"
./primecoind dumpprivkey {{paste copied address here}} > copy the private key returned
on your local computer holding the "master wallet" -> ./primecoind importprivkey {{paste copied private key here}}
now address holding the minted coins appears in your local wallet

No need to send coins over the blockchain this way, immature coins can be imported immediately.

I understand you will get the minted (even immature) coins from the remote wallet, but since you dumped the private key remotely, will you be able to get any new coin?

Yes, you will. dumpprivkey command just outputs a private key to console. It does not alter or remove that key from wallet in any way.

And will a new private key/public key generated in the remote wallet?

Unless you find a new block, no. When you find a new block it will and the coins minted then will be credited to that newly generated address again. Then you have to repeat the whole procedure again.
