I've been absent from Crypto for a bit.

However, I wanted to make sure I convey my thanks for the work that all of you that worked to resurrect Sprouts Classic have done.

Please know that it is GREATLY appreciated!

duh... nope thanks roadhog can't believe I glossed over that...

are we sure they fixed the 2 bil cap in the new HF wallet?

I've been hesitant to screw with this wallet too much. I corrupted my original sprouts wallet and had to do a bunch of python/pywallet stuff to get it back.

My wallet is the same... 1st 3 and nothing else but after my PC power went out and I had to reboot and restart wallet, now I'm showing for all my stakes except the brand new ones.

I will also say I haven't been combining my stakes as I don't like the way the new 'Send' is. It appears I have to manually calculate how many coins I want to send and I don't like that you can't seem to choose which ones to combine.

Thanks Bastillar!!

I had both Sprouts wallets running on my win10 pc but then the power went out and it wouldn't open both but... just tweeked the .conf file with listen=0 and they are both open... just waiting for it to get connections and I will update later.

I too am staking both. Of course my old SPRTS wallet is on fire and doing really well... new one seems to be limping along but I haven't been combining my stakes as I don't like the new sending process... however in defense of the new wallet it's probably just the way i'm doing it as I haven't really had the time to dig into the new wallet

I have 327 mil staking and this time it took 14 days... however, I've been consistently getting 9 days.

I have had both running for a about 2 weeks now on a windows 10 pc with seemingly no issues.  I will say that the new sprouts isn't staking as often as they say it should though.

I too  am running both the new and old wallets. I get the reasons for the HF as stated by the new dev team but perhaps they should have not messed so much with the minting % and worked on burning more coins.

I'm willing to wait and see if the new dev team gets SPRTS used in the real world however, I started staking this coin in order to develop a passive income which, it was working for that.

So, I will support the restarting the old coin.

I staked 270 million and it was right between 8 and 9 days.

Connections will fluctuate at times so I wouldn't worry about it unless it goes on for awhile.

If it were me I'd keep it as one until your compounding approaches 2 billion and then keep the stake around 1.5. I am just finishing my 1st SPRTS stake and it is definitely a juggling act. Once the fork happens and the new wallet is released i'm sure that bug will be fixed.

Also, backup your wallet.dat in a few different places and at least one off your pc. I corrupted my wallet and it took me 14 days until i had time to go in and get it working again.

I breezed through the white paper and will read it closer as I have time.

2 quick questions:

- will we keep our wallet and coins on our pc's still?
- how does their new discord fit in?

bastilar I'm so glad I ran across you youtube channel and book when I did. It allowed me to get a nice stack going!

Is your wallet.dat file corrupt?

Hi Arent,

first MAKE MULTIPLE BACKUPS AND PUT THEM IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.
this will allow you to experiment and still have your original wallet data.

Do you have any programming exp? That will really help.

you need to load Python on a pc and there will be a few other Python addons. I'm short on time but will try to get you some instructions on Monday. Like I said in a previous post, getting Pythong and Pywallet set up is the hardest thing to do. after that you just use the pywallet UI to strip out all the transactions so the wallet will open. once the wallet is open you use the command window to pull the private key. then you start a new wallet and again using the command window copy the old privkey into the new wallet and your coins will show up.

More info to follow.

Make sure your firewall is set correctly for the wallet, the conf file is named right and then give it a few hours.

Thanks arcmetal I'm glad I had already decided to do that.

I had corrupted my wallet by trying to combine ~2.5 billion prior and had to use Python and Pywallet to delete all the transactions to get it to open back up. I then exported the pvkey out and imported into a new wallet... worked like a charm and got all my original transactions back.

That's how I ended up with 14 days minting... took me that long to steal enough time to work on it and actually getting Python and Pywallet setup right was the hardest part for my situation.

My newly combined transactions are at 1.137 bil, 999 million, & 399 million. I obviously could have done a better job combining the 24 original transactions and may have to recombine them to improve staking.

10% at 5 days then 2% daily until it mints

Now my question for the forum:

I have 25 transactions that have 99999999.000 coins, each at 14 days and 1 transaction with 37017040.8024 coins at 14 days.

Should I wait to see if they mint or should I combine them now?

I corrupted my SPRTS wallet by trying to combine too many coins.

I used Python and Pywallet to fix my issue. This is not easy and took me quite awhile to get Python set up correctly.

I won't go into a bunch of detail but essentially I did the following:
1. used Pywallet to strip out the transactions and the wallet was able to be opened
2. then exported the private key from the original wallet that now had no transactions in it
3. started a new wallet which created a new wallet.dat
4. imported my original wallet key into the new wallet
5. all my original transactions returned - it processed for a few minutes but everything returned very quickly

24 transactions total returned for a combined 2.5 billion coins.

Amazing how it works.

If anyone needs help let me know and I'll put together more detailed instructions (which might take me awhile)
