Absolutely, I will store the file encrypted in different places this time. I think I will stick with the wallet.dat backup option + strong passphrase.

Remember to write down your strong passphrase. You will lose your coin if you lost your strong passphrase and won't be able to get access to your private key in that encrypted wallet.dat file.

I made that mistake because I thought I can remember the passphrase. After I did not open the wallet each week, a few months later, I forgot the passphrase and lost my coin. It's bad memory and terrible lesson.

EDIT: When I first opened BGL Core a while ago, I played with it like a noob and created a few wallets besides "Main", can I delete those wallets?

Take a precaution doing this, if you mistakenly delete the wrong file and didn't have a proper backup, you might lose your coins.

Depending on your OS, go to the default data directory

Code:

#Windows
%APPDATA%\BGL
#Linux
~/.BGL/
#Mac
~/Library/Application Support/BGL/

Open the folder named "wallets", then delete the folder(wallet) you want to delete.

The file you store your private key should be encrypted. The same goes for your wallet.dat file. If hackers can get access to your private key, your coins will be stolen.

A very bad practice is keep your private key in Notepad file, unencrypted. You can use Keypass, read more in [GUIDE] How to Create a Strong/Secure Password

Yea, storing a bare private key unencrypted is bad security/backup practice.

@gcf0z If your intention is to backup your wallet, I think you better to store the encrypted wallet.dat file. And also use a strong passphrase.

After doing that you should be able to dump the keys using dumpprivkey on the BGL Core console.

I get this error when I try dumpprivkey command "Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first. (code -13)" Thank you

You encrypted your wallet with a passphrase, to dump the private key you have to unlock it first.

Code:

walletpassphrase "your-passphrase" timeout

Quote

Arguments:
1. passphrase (string, required) The wallet passphrase
2. timeout (numeric, required) The time to keep the decryption key in seconds; capped at 100000000 (~3 years

After doing that you should be able to dump the keys using dumpprivkey on the BGL Core console.

Thank you all! It worked after I unlocked the wallet.
After dumprivkey command, those keys can be later used if I'll need to restore the backup.dat file?
Thank you guys for bearing with my newbieness

If you don't show them, then no, no one sees your keys. Beware of resources that ask you to enter your private key. Or they should be in the list of trusted ones from the developer. Use BGL Core.

I'm using BGL Core, I was asking if there is a way I can view my passphrase to write it down again, in case I lost my backup. Thank you.

Of course, this can be done very simply. This has already been written here. Both methods work, you can choose any one.

How to export a wallet such private key or anything to save or moving my wallet to another device? i have a habit to reinstall my windows frequently.

If you use a Windows wallet, there are 2 ways.
1. Copy your wallet.dat file (do this when the client has finished working). After changing the system/computer, overwrite the wallet.dat file with your own, which you copied and saved.

2. Extract all private keys. Do this for each of your addresses using the Client Console.

Code:

dumpprivkey your_address

After changing the system/computer import your private saved key.

Code:

importprivkey your_privkey

All the rules that are valid for the BTC client are played here.

You can dump private key of one address or dump all the wallet. Use the code in your Console, and command line.

Code:

dumpprivkey "address"
dumpwallet "filename"

You can copy your wallet file in the directory. Open your wallet, choose the tab Windows, choose Information. You will get the directory in which your wallet file is stored.
Copy the link in Datadir line that is something like. Copy and paste the link into the Search box of your OS and open the folder.
You will see the sub-folder wallets
Copy and paste the wallet file as your backup. Use it on your other computers.

C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\BGL

Zpool finally upgraded to the latest node version and signalling the taproot activation. The soft-fork should get through, noting Zpool has a majority of the BGL hash rate.

There are multiple ways to do in order to back up your wallet or a specific private key of a public address you use to store your Bitgesell coins.

Backup with your wallet file is the easiest method but you have to do:
- Multiple wallet.dat files in multiple devices (computer, laptop or multiple USBs)
- When one USB is broken, technically it is possible, you will have a few others to use.
- Regularly check up those USBs to make sure that are usable. If one USB is broken, you should replace it with another one.

It's important that if you set a passphrase for your wallet (you encrypt it), you must backup the passphrase as well. If you lose it, you will not be able to access your wallet.dat file. Then you will lose your Bitgesell coins.

I'm checking it now and its works. The problems should be solved.

I checking https://github.com/BitgesellOfficial/bitgesell/releases/tag/0.1.7, and the dev just made a re-released the latest version. Also, I notice the Github repository is updated. Beforehand you all should notice the project is forked from wu-emma repository, now it's just from the BitgesellOfficial account. Probably that might be what causes the issue.

Hello guys, don't know if am doing something wrong, but I've been trying to download the latest version of the Bitgesell windows wallet which i believe is version 0.1.7, I followed the link on the website and bitcointalk here and both took me to github quite alright but they always return an error tell me page is not found, please, what can I do, where else can I find the Bitgesell windows wallet version 0.1.7 to download, it's very urgent guys.?

Nice catch.

Probably something with Github and wallet files for Windows and MacOs. I double checked download resources from https://bitgesell.ca/#services
Linux works but only Windows and MacOs don't work.

The Bitgesell team should check this issue ASAP.

In my opinion, the BGL_USDT pair was removed from the API on the DigiFinex exchange. I am executing a request and I get an error.

Code:

https://openapi.digifinex.com/v3/order_book?symbol=bgl_usdt&limit=150  
return  {"code":20019}

I also requested a list of all traded pairs, but I did not find BGL. What is the reason for this?

edit... The problem is solved. The exchange's support recommended adding the rt=1 key.

Thanks!

What I did on my forked "taproot.watch" code is just changing the taproot activation periods and threshold to match with BGL. BGL is forked from BTC, which the codebase should be similar, and afaik, the taproot code and activation procedure(technically) were using the same as what Bitcoin did. So, I'm pretty sure it works fine.

Also, if you would you can manually check/verify the blocks and the mining pools whether they have upgraded to the latest node version or not.

Actually, the BGL hash rate is concentrated on zpool (90.9%). So, I believe how the BGL taproot activation process was heavily relied upon on whether zpool has been upgraded the node version or not.
