Well I'm using dumprikey / importprivkey to move immature blocks to my main wallet and then looking at the time that shows in the transaction list...

These were all dumped/imported just before 1pm UK time

I noticed same behaviour importing multiple keys in a row into the QT wallet. There must be a bug in the QT client.

You have to keep the timely order (according to "timereceived" in listtransactions) to get the correct coin generation timestamp shown in QT client, i.e. first import the key with the oldest coins, then the second oldest etc.

If you import a key with newer coins first and then one with older coins, the row with address of the older coins will show the timestamp of the newer coins, as it did in your screenshot.

why oh why

E: Unable to locate package libdb5.3++-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libdb5.3++-dev'
Maybe you are on Ubuntu 12.04? That package appears to be only available in 12.10+.

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.

So does this basically merge the wallets, or do I need to worry about what I already have in the 'master wallet'?
It's kind of a manual merge. Technically you just add a new address to your existing "master wallet" just like you could with any other address, too. In our case, that address is the one your newly minted coins were credited to. (Minted coins are always credited to a new address internally.)

All other addresses in your "master wallet" will remain untouched as will your remote wallets.
