Can't sync the new wallet.
Any nodes?
What is the port? 17814?

It's one approach.

Or update the codebase with a hard fork while keeping the current chain. That would be even better and comes with a lot less administrative overhead. As richie said wrote earlier, bittrex could simply update the bittrex wallet then.

Very well; if this is what you guys want, I'll do so.

That means: Fork the current codebase to reenable PoW (probably with a low reward to not unneccessarily bloat coin supply) at current chain height to get it moving again.


Once again:

There is no need for manually sending wallet.dat files to you and no need for you manually transferring coins as well. Take a snapshot at a certain height of the COV1 chain and simply premine the amount each address holds to the same addresses in the new COV2 chain.
 
- Ensure that the current priv/public keypairs are still valid in the new COV2 chain when taking that approach.
- Ensure  that all COV markets on exchanges are halted (disabling wallets is not sufficient for obvious reasons) prior to taking that snapshot.
- Check with the exchanges if they would follow that approach - if not give people enough time  - with a moving COV1 chain - to transfer their COV1 coins to local wallets prior to taking the snapshot.

I just read this part after responding to the 2nd heh oops. As I said before reading it , if its that troublesome, I have .25 towards your requested 1.5 and if the community wants to chips in. But what do you mean "turn on POW".. Proof of Work ended with mining , bit confused here.

Richie, I really, really respect you and Bittrex even though I may be out of line sometimes but that wasn't the case. I asked you to disable the market so we could do a swap for a better codebase/wallet and to simply swap; and you made it clear it wasn't feasible without paying Bittrex's Swap fee; then asked I do it manually. Had we done  the swap; there would of been NO issues with the blockchain, you wouldn't of needed to be forced to turn on POS and be in this situation.

what happens now since im assuming the no swap without paying the fee is intact is we do a manual swap (many of you suggested better ideas that may of not needed this , but in order to implement the features on that roadmap many new versions of wallets will be released and this means having a fresh codebase foundation.

continuing, a forced swap = everyone would move their coins from trex to their local wallet; an one by one you'd send me your .dat file and download the new wallet and send me your address then i send you the coins you had (from COV) in COV2. I do this with everyone who holds a COV coin. It's going to be a time consuming process. I'm also curious if Bittrex, once we swap to COV2 will still continue to have us  listed as a coin still, given the last confrontation we had when i requested the swap (im sorry and apologize)

Richie, if thats the case, and I can understand for the asshole things I said; very well. But if you want me to manually swap; and your delisting COV and not relisting COV2 ; please at the very least let me know now so I can find the next "best" suitable exchange; like polo or c-cex i guess.

OR if you changed your mind, and want to do the swap via your exchange, I'll send Bittrex 0.25 BTC. its 1.25 BTC less than you requested; so if the community members want to contribute please speak up.

If the above is not true ; I will carry out the manual swap. I will wait for Bittrex and Richies response.

I ask you to keep your coins on there for time being as well.

Sooo...dev? What's happening next?

we were asked to turn on staking to get the coins moving again... honestly i'm not sure the state of the blockchain right now ;(

Oh right, I missed the part where you mentioned the need to move out coins.

I imagined you would probably simply dump all privkeys of the current wallet and batch import them into the new COV2 wallet if the keypairs were still valid. Plus some dirty SQL inserts and update statements. I  haven't really thought this through, especially considering I only can imagine how your database model might look like. And my imagination is probably far off.

Afaik the chain was working fine with PoS prior to the wallet lock @ bittrex (or still is I assume), if I am not mistaken? If so reenabling PoW wouldn't even be neccessary.  

Updating the sources to a new codebase with a hard fork (and not with a coins swap to a new chain) would have been my choice in the first place as I wrote earlier in this thread - but I am not the dev here.

Unfortunately not, which is why I requested he turn it PoW so people can move coins out... Addresses are not associated with users. 

To explain why it is so difficult, imagine that we have to keep track of all deposits/withdrawals, all addresses/privkeys, all associations between the current wallet and the trades that occur.  New wallets mean new addresses with the same symbols.  Its an extremely complicated task to back everything up and keep the same symbol so it jives with new and old addresses.  That said, if you created a new wallet that was completely backwards compatible (ie with the wallet.dat file without needing me to import privkeys), it would be a trivial step to just upgrade the wallet.

I've tried to provide as much help and as many options as I can to help with this swap.  I'm not a fan of taking a fee to perform swaps, but you have to understand that it is a time consuming and error prone process.

Thanks,
Richie

And that is how it's done, dev - simple and clean. No need for sending wallet.dat files anywhere.

PS: Ensure that the current COV1 public/private key combos are still valid for COV2 when doing that. Also take care of trading to be halted on exchanges prior to taking the snapshot for the premine of COV2 (for obvious reasons).

@ bittrex/riechiela: As for the coins still deposited @ bittrex: So the COV addresses currently associated to bittrex accounts will also be associated for COV2 when taking this approach, right?

Sorry, you are out of line because no one has any insight to how our systems work and I can guarantee you it is not that simple.  It is 3-4 hours worth to make sure everything in the system stays intact and passes an audit.  As for a manual swap, many have completed it in a much easier fashion.  Just take a snapshot at a given blockheight, and premine the new coins to the addresses that have funds.  It takes no manual work at all on either your part or the coin holders.  This is a solved problem with multiple solutions;  check out what other coins have done for swaps and follow their model.

thanks,
richie

A manual swap will require some work, but then again, so does 1.5 BTC.

Oh, yes, no policy, if you have an idea, suggestion, opinion, anything of worth you would like to contribute, please take the time to jot it down, in detail on a piece of paper, fold it, and shove it up your ass. Remember to not be clinching when you insert, to ensure proper posting. Thanks!

QUOTED FOR POSTERITY YOU PIECE OF SHIT SCAMMER, YOU CAN'T CODE, YOU HIRE SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR YOU, ALL YOUR COINS HAVE THE SAME DEFECT, PRETTY SURE YOU JUST BURIED COVEN   DISSING TREX... THEY RUN A SERVICE AND ARE NOT A PRO-BONO CASE YOU IDIOT. YOU PUMPED AND DUMPED AND THEN DID IT AGAIN AND THEN YOU LEFT, COMMUNITY MADE AN EFFORT TO RESCUE THIS PIECE OF SHIT AND NOW YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO COMEBACK AND FUCK THEM ALL OVER AGAIN.... ..................

REMEMBER THIS LITTLE SCREW UP?    https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmega.co.nz%2F%23!fgc0zBya!GsWWoB35KwhH1y12qydMs0jHIU5NLH-B7xezUVtjoMk&v=3

so it seems Bittrex wants me to re-vert to previous codebase/chain so people can move out their coins, in essence asking me to manualy do the swap.
now let me explain how a manual swap works; its literally that, a manual swap of the current coins you hold with the new coins (old doesnt function COV for COV2 (thanks for making me change the name there too Richie  ) .

ya greedy bastard

So if you could imagine:
1) You would send your coins from A) Exchange to B) your wallet.
2) You back up your wallet; record # of coins, (and a screen shot, I suggest this for your own security, showing proof of what was in the dat before sent) and send that information to me. You also provide a new COV2 address (from the new wallet)
3. I check it manually to ensure its accurate (the # of coins). I send  that many coins to the address you provide.

This process is repeated for everyone holding COV in a local wallet (meaning you moved them from exchange to your QT).

Now; its something that requires time (for the people with outstanding coins to get this msg, move coins, provide information), organizaton on our part, and not being able to progress until the swap period is over. I would say 1-2 weeks is fair for the community holders to move their coins to wallet from exchange/request a swap. This conclusion could not be avoided (unless we paid the 1.5, which I have no intention of doing). I will do this manually. I will make this the best fucking coin in the world, despite Bittrexs stubborn ways.

If you think I'm being out of line, the solution to this with the assistance of Bittrex would be like so.

1)Hey Bittrex; how many coins do you guys hold?
Bittrex XX,XXX
Okay, please update new codebase/wallet/provide new wallet address
Bittrex: Updated, heres addresss
Great, here are the new coins

There would be no manual swap. The time to do it is nearly incomparable to doing it manually.  But I'm going to do it. I ask for your patience as I organize the best method of doing this properly so no more time is wasted on bullshit and pennies for an exchange. Sigh, bear with me. Thank you.

Bittrex locked the wallet on dev's request. They wouldn't have done that otherwise.

Shouldn't Bittrex users be provided with an opportunity to swap the coins they bought from the exchange themselves i.e. that Bittrex opens the wallet for withdrawal on the current chain...

Update
-apologize to Bittrex for the rash comment They are professional. Will open ticket.
...going to make this coin work.

Swap is needed in order for the coins (ie see new wallet; I installed masternodes and stealth msging... sigh) i did it this way so i gotta swap it guys.
