Topic: BTCD is no more - page 369. (Read 1328490 times)
I know as far as other QT wallets go, as long as you have the .dat file then all associated addresses will show up. No new backups are needed.
Yes, totally - but what would require a new backup? New address added? Anything else?
Apologies, I'm unsure of the definitive answer to this question
...... Can someone please chime in on this subject?

I just download the wallet i can make a backup ( this will be a .dat file ) but where can i import this file iff i need to ?
if you are on a windows 7 computer this is the path
C:\Users\youruserername\AppData\Roaming\BitcoinDark
replace yourusername with your computer user name
and the file is wallet.dat
Thanks, been trying to figure this out! I just found the one -qt file.
NB AppData is hidden. Open Explorer and type %AppData% to find it.
A lot happier knowing I can recover my wallet if I need to now.
Out of interest, what's contained in the wallet.dat file, and how often should I backup?
I am not sure if I am correct but backing up your wallet is not necessary if you don't create new receiving address and receiving coins with that new address. So, I think backup is only necessary if you receive coins in a new address. I highly recommend using a strong password to lock your wallet too.
Sure, but what happens if the computer you're running the client on gets stolen or damaged? How do you restore your wallet?
If your PC takes a dump, then you're SOL, so back it up. I usually keep a backed up wallet.dat on two or three different usb sticks just to be safe. Backing up the wallet.dat takes one minute anyway, so it would be silly not to

The password would be for encrypting your wallet. If you want to stake, the wallet must be unlocked. So, encrypt your wallet and then unlock it for staking, which is much safer than storing on any exchange.

thanks for the quick reply i just donated 50.47184647 BTCD to
"Donation Update!
Total can now be checked on http://bitcoindark.net/development-pot and can be found under the Fundraiser pulldown on the top bar.
We're now asking the community to help raise funds for development purposes. We currently have a lot in the pipeline, and we have need to fund Core Development, Website Development, Promotion and Marketing, etc.
All donations will be pooled into one large fund with which the dev team will then use on a need to need basis. The process will be transparent and all funds being paid out will be listed on the new website.
Our short term goal is to raise 5000 BTCD. We hope the BitcoinDark community can provide the support we need to make BTCD one of the top coins around!
James (jl777) will match all BTCD raised for donations with an equal market value of NXTprivacy
Please support BitcoinDark development by providing a donation to the following address:

Can someone tell me what the meaning of this on my BTCD wallet is.
Weight?
I understand this is going up, but what is it
Weight?
I understand this is going up, but what is it
Weight = coin age * balance
So your weight increases with both the time you stake coins in your wallet and the amount of coins you keep in your wallet.
Your weight influences the amount of coins you are rewarded for staking. The higher the weight, the more coins you recieve from staking.
Basically it's like interest on your savings account in a normal bank. The higher your savings account and the longer you keep it at the bank, the more interest you recieve.

That's for staking (PoS)
Below I am pasting some info, but, I am not sure if they are correct.
weight = coin age * balance
coin age increases linearly over time as long as the coins are not used in a transaction. The exptected time estimate is not very good, I think it misses to take the weight increase into account so it always assumes the weight to stay constant. This is why the expected time usually decreases faster than real time.
Also note that this is a probabilistic method. While you WILL get 1% per year, there is no deterministic way to calculate what you will earn at a particular day.
Dev,
I cant understand much of what your saying.
Is it possible you can sometimes intersect in plain english what some of the
techie stuff means when you post- which relates to BTCD.
I understand your busy though.

There is a Darkpaper out, which explains the workings and ambition of Bitcoindark.It aims to be understood by both tech oriented people, and the general enthusiast (like me) It can be found here:

Should you have any further questions feel free to ask them here. James is very busy at the moment, but he will gladly answer questions when he has the time.

I am hijacked the rest of the day. Need to babysit MGW servers, which are critically needed with the shutdown of the major NXT exchange bter

Been kind of hard with all the drama going on in NXT land today...
Finally got the broadcasting/propagation of the pubkeys and pubaddrs coded, even tested out in the loopback setup I have. Seems like I am missing something as there wasnt much code required.
Next is to code up the message sending, but since I already have half a dozen variations on doing this, it should just be a matter of tweaking an existing function. Hopefully I will be able to focus...

Nxt developers need to ensure backwards compatibility. It's kinda a mess right now with the changing API, as you're very well aware. Anyway, this is how tokenization works in Nxt:
https://i.imgur.com/uFOmo95.png
It's pretty straight-forward.
I am pretty sure I have the C code to a 25519 signing somewhere, but it is not a priority to eliminate NXT dependencies as I need it for AE tradingshttps://i.imgur.com/uFOmo95.png
It's pretty straight-forward.
If Nxt keeps the API as a moving target, there's always Dogeparty.
Actually, I say that half-joking. If Nxt devs break your stuff with their constant API changes, I'll start complaining to them. I'm currently silently watching to see what they do.
nice charts!
maybe you can do some for the DarkPaper?

Thanks.
Sure. Just point me to the sections you want illustrated.
so any of those that you can see how to make it nicely illustrated and of course any other graphic that comes to mind. DarkPaper is just all text now and it needs some illustrations
Thanks!

Edit: oh, BTW: http://ed25519.cr.yp.to/
It is Ed25519, which is slightly different than the Curve25519 they're using, but it should work if you decide you need to use it.
