Re: 8th Alt coin thread. Or what to do now that asics are all over the place.

Never liked Eth once they did the fork to roll back the huge theft It got 2 coins stuck in a wallet I have on a mac mini.

I have never been able to get the wallet to synch. It simply reaches the fork date and freezes. Even with a 2tb ssd it wont go past that point.

Never got a good solution for it. I email and pm'd them there were 3 or 4 of us with the issuse one guy had 6 coins stuck another had 11.

So I simply gave up on the coin. When it got over 1000 I spent days trying to free the wallet up and simply a no go.

Now it is around 287.50 so I pretty much think it will tank to under 200 soon.

Hi phill
If you have you keystore file you can unlock your wallet via myetherwallet and then move your coin

I have 2 or 3 hdds cloned.

I ran into trouble with this because I used eth core wallet on a mac mini and I had to try it in mac os.

when it happened it was 2 coins at 10 bucks each. I did 3 or 4 fixes all a no go.

Said fuck it. two or three days lost.

When it was over 1 k I spent more then 10 days and after many tries I said f it.

At this point I am not even sure I could find the correct wallet/ core on the right back up hdd.
So as far as I am concerned Eth owes me 2k since I really worked at it back then trying to free the wallet.

I know I would have cashed out if I freed the coins So their decision to do the fix of the flaw/dao ripoff cost me money.

So I kind of root against the coin as I know the developers are not going to fix my issue which they caused .

I supposed if they did not do what they did I would have not let the coins lay around and grow up to 1k .

So it is not the end off the world.

All you need to do is start the program and write a rawtransaction and use a block explorer like Etherchain and just post the transaction.

I had to do this also because the chain was very long and even after buying an SSD, I couldn't get it to sync.

You just start it, unlock your wallet, write a raw transaction and then take that hash and broadcast it using any of the ethereum block explorer.

If you need help... let me know.

I need to track down the stored hdd's if and when I find them I will let you know.

I found my notes on how to do this. This is assuming you are using geth

personal.unlockAccount(eth.accounts[0], "YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD")
eth.signTransaction({ from: "SOURCE_ADDRESS", to: "DESTINATION_ADDRESS", value: YOUR_VALUE_IN_WEI, nonce: 0 })

The nonce is basically which output transaction you are going to perform. If its the first time sending from that address then use 0, if its the second time, then use 1. If you cannot find this then go to a block explorer and click the last transaction and it will list the nonce, so you just need to increment 1 and it will work. If you use the wrong nonce the nodes will reject the transaction.

Take that raw transaction ID and use any ETH block explorer to broadcast it.

Try with a small amount first in case you screw up, keep in mind ETH doesn't have an error checking for wrong addresses so make sure you are sending it to the correct location.
