Devcoin

Whoever can solve my problem I will give you 1 000 000 DVC.

Can someone provide me with an idiots guide to using : https://github.com/Unthinkingbit/bitcointools  in Windows to import a private key into my Devcoin wallet? I am trying to do this with my Devda wallet's private key (in key.txt format) so I can actually receive my generation shares.

I have:
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Twobits' Devcoin wallet
- Python 2.7.6 installed (but I know nothing about python)

I have tried using the windows cmd console to run the command to import the prvate key, but I received an error that privkeyimport.py was a HTML doc, is this because I didn't download privkeyimport.py correctly from GitHub? Or could it be because I don't know anything about python?

I am in way over my head here and any help greatly appreciated (I am primarily a writer which is why I am writing on Devtome) - anyone who can take the time to write me an idiots guide that works to doing this - I will give you 1 000 000 DVC.

Thank you

EDIT: Please PM with any advice.

I think it's a download issue, pm'ed you.

So I've spent over 48 hours trying to get this to work and it turns out after all this the key is in the wrong format (too many digits by the looks of things) - and even after getting another key generated from Icoin from my wallet on Devda it is still in the wrong format.

Thank you to everyone for helping me out though - hopefully we will get there soon.

just use pywallet...

That was the first thing I used yesterday but it didn't work. I think the wallet's key is too long or in the incorrect format (it is over 1000 characters). Either that or I am just not sure what the issue is to be honest - but Bitcoin Tools gave me an error that the key was of an incorrect length.

I have finally started getting down to some nitty gritty economic stuff, pertaining to the Galactic Milieu, on Devtome:

Investing in an Economic Sector (Galactic Milieu)

From a very general and non-player perspective the article is about a currency decirculation device: a mechanism that ties up currency in the game thus decreasing the amount of currency in circulation.

Basically players "invest" in "Economic Sectors", the coins "invested" are frozen, and the rest of us hopefully experience higher exchange-rates because less coins hit the exchanges to get "dumped".

The mechanism does include the concept of "liquidation" (bailing back out the coins that are frozen into the "sector"), however the implementation is such that typically one should get a better price for a "portion" of a "sector" by selling it as an intact "portion" to another player than one would get by "liquidating" a "portion" into coins.

The intent, from a narrative and gameplay perspective, is to represent in an abstract game-mechanics way distinctions such as that between liquidating a business by selling off the raw materials and components of which it is consructed and selling a business as a going concern to new management/ownership. As a side-effect, players should tend to prefer leaving coins tied up in these "Economic Sectors" by selling "portions" over liquidating "portions".

(LIquidation involves un-freezing coins, releasing them back out of the "sector".)

P.S. That glaring red link, "Application Program Interface (API)" is an invitation to someone to create that missing page, not an indication I intend to someday get around to writing such a page myself.

Get DVB shares for that https://cryptostocks.com/securities/14

The problem with generation share recogntion on devda.ch will be solved soon, but you should NOT consider a webwallet as secure!

Please everyone get your own devcoind or devcoin-qt running on your own secured system.

has anyone proposed this to friedcat? that they mine on bitparking some of their hashing power... are they? bitparking saw mass increase not to long ago...from 1TH to like 4-5 now?

Recently I switched from PPS to DGM payment methods which unfortunately coincided with a run of long blocks resulting in a bunch of asic's leaving the pool. Bitparking is at 600 Ghash/s now. More asic's would obviously be welcomed.

Thank you Icoin!

MarkM the problem was the key I was given was a dump of the whole wallet, not just a private key.

Anyway, it has all been solved now Icoin sent me a wallet.dat he made

the correct procedure to extract a key is wrong discribed. You get the key list in the terminal and some useless data into the key.txt file. You need to dump that terminal output to a file first.

For example, if the address of the key you want to export is 175tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W, you would type
python keydump.py 175tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W

It should be:

Code:

python keydump.py --datadir=<your home directory>/.devcoin >keys.log

then look in the keys.log file for 175tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W and you find your base58 key from your address. Delete the content of key.txt and copy the base58 string to key.txt and save the file.

To import the key type:

Code:

python privkeyimport.py --datadir <your home directory>/.devcoin

But the import of a extracted base58 BTC key to devcoind this way is failing.

I've created a button:




Is there still a bounty for buttons?

So once devda is fixed will we receive our coins from this generation there?

Guys - bter.com seem to be amenable to trading alt coins on their exchange.

Why don't we e-mail them at [email protected] and ask them to support Devcoin?

I am doing it right now
