Feathercoin 0.8.5 Client
-
Wrapper, I am unable to recreate the problem on Kubuntu. I tested a heavily used 0.6.4.4 wallet and dropped it into the Feathercoin datadir and ran 0.8.5. Everything has come across without error.
I am wondering if your wallet.dat is corrupt.
Let’s do “wallet surgery”. We will dump your private keys and import them back into a 0.6.4.4 wallet to try the test over again.
Go to the console in the Qt client and do the following.
If you’ve encrypted your wallet you’ll need to unlock it
[b]walletpassphrase [passphrase] 1000[/b]
Then enter in dumpprivkey and your public address. This will generate the private key for your public key, make a note of this key.
[b]dumpprivkey [feathercoin address][/b]
Once you have all the private keys exported close the client down, backup and remove your wallet.dat from the Feathercoin datadir. Run the program to generate a new wallet.dat and then run the following to import your private keys.
[b]importprivkey [feathercoin private key][/b]
The client will freeze a little while it rescans the blockchain. Once all keys have been imported you will have a brand new shiny wallet.dat file ready to import to 0.8.5. I hope it works this time round :)

Wellenreiter, I have tested your change to the QR dialogue box and have now pulled it into 0.8.5. Thanks for that :)
Hopefully Wrapper’s issue is just a local one.

Cheers for the info Peter.
I’m trying to get round to that (private key extraction), ASAP…
I need to learn how to do that anyway…
Did you find a Database viewer that works with the wallet.dat or blockchain database? (for support / help )
- I added a “Trying to go Backwards in wallet versions”… - “mode of failure” in Support Docs
-
I do not have any visualisers for wallet.dat or the blockchain. I know that people have tried making such things in the past for Bitcoin though I’m not sure how well they stack up.
Does anyone know of any good tools that could be ported to Feathercoin?
-
The password timer went out on my wallet private key extraction. Which is what Peter kindly told me error -4 means.
I’ve now done the main (key extraction), so that is a work around for update glitches… I’ll test import next…
Otherwise it’s working fine in my “sanity / breaking” tests. Once I get the keys extracted I’ll do another test compile / import.
Do we have a potential release date?
Tomorrow? So we can fix bugs, Before the potential - Christmas / holiday rush, or after?
-
I am happy with tomorrow. I will ask Wellenreiter to update the version on his Feathercoin Linux distro page.
-
Just finished the import of Private keys, it took 2 hours, 20 keys…
I suppose I could of sped it up, by just typing them all in and letting is scan once at the end? I needed my wallet working, so didn’t think/risk till after I finished.
I noticed after import keys, my descriptions were lost, there are no receive addresses…
I’m gonna have to import a wallet old style in Virtualbox and copy the descriptions back out to my wallet.
I’ll add a note to support FAQ, to get your “address descriptions” before the, “private key export / import”.

“cant open database file wallet.dat error” before several other errors and client crashing during block chain update, whats going on here?
i did copy my wallet.dat file into the roaming folder before opening the client, was this incorrect? am i supposed to create a new wallet with each new qt update?
EDIT:
problem is fixed however my client now crashes when i close, the error i get says…
"A fatal error occurered. Feathercoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.

qwertybo
Did you fix your upgrade?. Mode of failure 3 in support has instruction to copy out you private keys, in an emergency.Can you tell the forum some more details? what versions from where?
restore your 0.6.4.4 system, and wallet.dat. Export your receive addresses, export your private keys.
Re-name 0.8.5 wallet, restart to build a new wallet. Import your private keys.
With any database system there is a slight chance of corruption, especially during upgrade. Any further information you can glean may help others…

I ended up making a thread about my current problem over here : [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,6171.0.html]http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,6171.0.html[/url]
I can’t open the client with that wallet anymore without it crashing so any chance of dumping my priv keys is impossible as far as right now… a reply to my current thread would be appreciated
-
The client looks interesting, I will check it out tonight.

xposted this, but looking for testers for the FreeBSD port of 0.8.5 - please direct direct feedback to the [DEV] thread I created about it.
Cheers,
