Topic: HoboNickels - HBN - High Fast Stake - Version 2.0! More Secure, Less Intensive - page 202. (Read 478852 times)

No worries, we are all in this and learning it together.

So here is what you should do. #1 Get the most current version 1.4.0.1 from my github release page.   https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/releases/download/1.4.0.0/HoboNickels-qt-1.4.0.1.zip

I would suggest using this to replace your blk001.dat and txleveldb directory and then start it up.
http://wiki.hobonickels.info/index.php?title=Replace_Blockchain

I would also rename current wallets to something like noload_wallet-old1.dat noload_wallet-old2.dat noload_wallet-old3.dat etc.

Then start up the client. You will be up and running. But have no coins. After you are fully up to sync. Go back and rename your wallets as follows rename noload_wallet-old1.dat to wallet-old1.dat and then load it. If it loads ok, do the same, for the next.

After you are sure you know which one is bad. Shutdown the client. and then  rename it to noload_wallet-bad1.dat.

If you want to try it yourself you will need to learn to use the switches -datadir and -salvagewallet. Put your bad wallet into a new directory c:\hbnfix or something and make sure it is named wallet.dat and put your database dir in there as well. Then start up client with -datadir=c:\hbnfix -listen=0 -salvagewallet

You may need to use version 1.2 to salvage. It is on my release page. https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/releases/tag/1.2.2.0

If you are successful. you should be then able to load the wallet.dat into the new client and be off and running.

If you need help I can try for you as well. Just PM me an secure location of the bad wallet and database dir.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for your quick response!

I read your message and the linked help as soon as I saw it but I think I was able to mess things up further before I read it. Furthermore I feel foolish for bothering you'all over 108 or so HBN ...but then it again it was the only HBN I had....+ 37 I have recovered.

This is where I am at. Unfortunately I did not understand the interdependency of the database and wallet files as I deleted everything but the wallet file when I reloaded...before i posted here.
That is what most other wallets suggest to do ...or at least in my little bit of experience.

I was running multiple wallets including the general wallet, "savings" and then the system created a 3rd "stake". I seemed to be able to open the general wallet that had 37 and sent that to an exchange for the moment. It seems the "savings" wallet was the corrupt one as I cannot get that to open by renaming it to wallet.dat. Through out my trials I think I tried about every combination of wallets and database files ....I happened to find a databse file in my recycle bin that might be from the day I deleted the data and therefore the one that was associated to the wallet originally....but I am not sure at that either.

To make a long story longer, I think I likely loaded the current version from the onset as I see I got my 1st HBN on April 25th from the giveaway thread. As the help file seems to be explaining how to recover from a version change problem....not sure if I am now SOL or what. I have managed to get myself this run time error now http://prntscr.com/3u6tvt

I see there have been a couple posts after my message and not sure if they suggest there is a utility to help?

I apologize for my ignorance as I do not understand the programming end of how this all works.

Awesome as always! 

I have pywallet set up for HBN here; https://github.com/Tranz5/pywallet the prefix is 34

I have been successful with exporting all the private keys in a wallet file without using the client.  Granted your backups are good.  I worked a few days on one with flt, and we couldn't get them back because the wallet was corrupted and the user did not have a backup.

I will update my code to look at HBN, tranz, what is the prefix for compressed and uncompressed HBN addresses?

Send me a pm if you want to try

Hi ESM, it does sound like you have a bad wallet.dat file. If you are using multiple wallets, the trick is to find out which one is corrupted.

I have a FAQ about bad wallets
https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/9590-hbn-trouble-shooting-guide-wallet-corruption/

If you can identify which wallet is bad, you can restore that one from backup, or you can try to rename it to wallet.dat and run -salvagewallet.

If you still have issues after reading over and trying this guide, you can PM. This has happened to 3 or 4 other people over the last year, and I or they were able to get back all the coins.

Need some help here.

I backed up my multiple wallet files, deleted everything, reinstalled and loaded blockchain and closed down moved my wallet files over and tried opening up and getting error 22....critical error loading wallets. Won't open at all now.

What do I need to do to recover my coins?

Hopefully soon we won't have to rely on the unreliable cryptsy. Allcoin will be happy

Yeah except I didn't read the instructions so don't pay too much attention.


I'm voting HBN Caps Tek PHS and errrm .. yeah in that order as waking hours allow. 

Can someone confirm the votes carry over each week and are not reset .......

Voting for HOBO

For those of you who, like me, have PHS and CAP and TEK and HBN, I suggest the following:
Vote for the highest ranking of them and this one only. Once it will be on the market, then we can get rid of cryptsy for this one (I still have PHS and CAP locked at Cryptsy).. Then focus all your votes on the next one.

That way, deliveries will happen faster.

Edit: what Flungspun said

You can vote for 5 per hour so the vote is naturally spread really. I suggest throwing some btc at your favorite of the bunch.

I suspect there are quite a few of us with similar interests here but maybe different priorities.
I'd suggest people concentrate on voting the current leader of this batch to a completed listing rather than spread the votes.
Then all getting behind the next front runner

Woohoo! Allcoin accepted my ticket I asked them to add CAP, HBN, TEK, PHS and XMR and they did Good folks at allcoins.com

don't see why it wouldn't be enabled by default, it's common in all PoS type coins, if someone doesn't know how to use it, fairly easy to find a writeup, or ask someone.

With Control Inputs checked and available it should also popup on your main summary page so that it's an easy 1 click to get to it. Maybe automatically display network weight too / all of the info you get when you hover over the icon.

Maybe it might be a good idea in the future just to have this checked by default - coin control really isn't "for experts only" - it should be for all users and is fairly easy to understand.

Did you remember to
Settings > Options > Display - Check Display coin control ?
