Hi people:
OS Sierra 10.12.6
xxxxx wallet balance 13/06/2018 prior to update, all passphrase, log in padlock bottom right worked fine, as did the whole wallet.
Updated to version v 0.16.0.0 (64-bit), updated wallet 14/06/2018.
Having updated, log in icon and whole wallet seems to look ok, however the log in padlock is not giving an option to enter passphrase!
Changed my original passphrase to a new one which was accepted
Hover mouse over shows “wallet is encrypted and locked”.
Anyone got a workaround, suggestions ?
Hi @systemic
Welcome to the forums and thanks for reporting this.
There’s an easy work around using the console.
I’m on MacOS High Sierra, to get to the console you
Run Feathercoin-qt, go to help -> debug window -> console tab
once there you can use the console to interact with your wallet and feathercoin-qt
you can unlock your wallet for 2 mins using the below command
walletpassphrase “my pass phrase” 120
walletpassphrase is the command .
“my pass phrase” is your wallet password
120 is the amount of seconds you want the wallet to stay unlocked for
i’ve tested this on my mac and it works fine.
Hi AcidD,
Just tried your suggestion & despite using initial passphrase & then changing it again (passphrase has been changed x 3 & wallet closed & reopened each time, returns each time with:
walletpassphrase(…
nul
walletpassphrase(…)
Error: The wallet passphrase entered was incorrect. (code -14)
Tried each passphrase x 3 returns the same each time.
Are there any logs or any other info I can supply you with to clarify?
Hello.
if it replied with
walletpassphrase(…)
null
look in the corner at the lock icon and see if it says it’s unlocked now.
Hi AcidD
Still the same NO activity on Lock Icon. Won’t accept passphrase (When trying to send) - Invalid.
Cheers
This guide works perfectly on a $5/mo Digital Ocean Droplet. it’s fantastic and cheap and a great way to support the network as you run a full node plus electrumx!
one note, building Feathercoin Core 0.16 on the small droplet, you usually run out of memory during the build
run the below to increase swap.
free
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000
mkswap /var/swap.img
swapon /var/swap.img
free
make -f makefile.unix

@wellenreiter said in [Guide] Solo mining for Feathercoin and Neoscrypt:
A workaround is to set up a private pool, e.g. p2pool and use the stratum protocol.
For solo mining you will need a miner supporting gbt (get block template)
You can get NOMP which is an open source stratum server…there are certian forks that work with neoscrypt
I use one on pool.feathercoin.com
There’s nothing stopping you from using it locally
As Acid said above, technically its possible to generate the same private key twice but the odds are so small its considered “impossible”. To add to that, you have the same odds using the QT wallet as you do a paper wallet generator.
The numbers crypto uses are huge, absolutely enormous. They are so large, in fact, that most people have difficulty understanding just how massive they are. One way I was explained was to picture a handful of sand. Look at each grain of sand. How many must there be in your hand? A lot right? Now picture a bucket of sand, picture a truck load, there are a LOT of grains, right? Now picture every grain of sand on EVERY beach in the world plus every grain of sand under all the oceans. If every grain of sand was its own Earth, with its own beaches and sand, then if you added up all these grains of sand on all these beaches on all these worlds… thats how many private keys there are. LOTS
@wellenreiter
no.
i dont know what happened. when i got home this morning, my solo operation had stopped running. i restarted ccminer, and it wouldnt work. when i restarted the wallet, thats when i got this error. im not sure what the deal was. im in the process of reinstalling the wallet fresh now.
@Wellenreiter - Ok No problem. We can keep this guide as is and edit it moving forward.
I take all of that back and bow to your wisdom … I was having a think and when I checked my old guide there was already a change log there…so I’ve updated that and re-pinned it.
I’ve also renamed this guide and unpinned.
