Topic: [MOON] Mooncoin 🌙 move to a new thread - page 315. (Read 317812 times)

Greetings again everyone,

I've been asked by a few people for instructions, as to backing up their wallet files and/or exporting their private keys for safe storage.

Backing up your wallet.dat can be done two different ways.
The first
With your Mooncoin client not loaded; open your Start Menu, and via Run or Explorer, go to the path '%appdata%' (this is equivalent to using Explorer to find 'C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming').
From here, open 'Mooncoin'. You will find 'wallet.dat' in this folder. Take a copy and store it in a safe location (encrypted USB disk/partition is ideal).
The second
From within the Mooncoin wallet itself, select the 'File' menu and then choose 'Backup Wallet'.

Exporting your private keys can be done via the following method:
Open the debug console, enter the command 'listaddressgroupings'. This will list all of your public keys which have/or have had a balance. Feel free to copy the output to somewhere easier to work with it.
From here, any address which contains a significant balance; select and copy its address (without the quotes) and enter the following into Debug:

Code:

dumpprivkey 

Mooncoin will list the private key for you, copy this information into a file and save to a safe location (same as above, encrypted USB disk/partition).

Do not leave your private keys laying around; and do not post them here, nor message them via privmsg etc - anyone who has this key can import and take your funds.

The MOON network works great.

Thanks for the update!!

hi guys,

seems like the shift to a newer codebase has brought some neat consensus features with it.
my nodes have been attacked repeatedly (over the past few weeks) and i had taken them offline to examine what exactly was going on.

once these two nodes were down, the network continued to operate for some time, as there were still other sufficient 0.10.5 nodes present.
a third node stopping (or possibly some other event, even a timeout) has basically caused the few remaining nodes to refuse to commit any new blocks until the network had become stable again.

in this case clients which reported use of protocol 70001 (legacy Mooncoin wallets) were not enough to satisfy this requirement. this in itself is fantastic; as it means the upcoming fork at block 1,100,000 should work smoothly.
whilst migrating the code from 0.8 to 0.10 codebase; i had actually bumped the protocol up to 70002, meaning the new clients will actually ignore the old ones completely after this block.

please ensure that you have upgraded to the latest client before block 1,100,000
additionally, if you know how to export your private keys and store them somewhere safe; this is an additional safeguard.

fortunately there are quite a few stragglers (still running old code) on the network, if we can steadily increase the amount of hosts running new code, this should not pose any problems.

Reminder:
please update your wallet ASAP to the 0.10.5 version
(wallet links are in the OP https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17349356).

If you don't update before the block 1,100,000 (in a couple of weeks),
you will not be able to move and sell your coins.
The Bleutrade Exchange, NovaExchange, Coingather etc. are on a new wallet already!

hi guys,
as per moon_foundations comments - both of my nodes have been under heavy attack for the past week now.
received several notifications that aux.bazco.in was being ddos'd in excess of 220mbit/sec, which is spectacular.
investigating now.

A PM was sent to our dev, barrysty1e,
he reported a couple of days ago multiple DDoS attacks against MOON nodes.

If you'd like to support the Mooncoin network, run your nodes, wallet links are in the OP.

Yes, 2 days behind on my wallet and the block explorer is behind as well.

Greetings,

Has anybody else noticed that the last block was 2 days ago?
What is going on?

Is Mooncoin being attacked or has it somehow broken?

Sorry, all your points are not correct.
It's not only your problem, 99 percent of people are misinformed about MOON currently.

a 910.05% increase
No, the price is stable, the primary market is https://bleutrade.com/exchange/MOON/DOGE
of course you have a chance to buy it at DOGE markets to sell it potentially for BTC with a 910.05% increase (if there are more BTC-based markets),
but people don't understand that yet.

the original dev and the user takeover
Since 2014 when the original dev disappeared, MOON is backed by several investors and supporters, it's not one user, however all have equal opportunities, as an average buy price is at the current price level, LTC was higher in 2014, and 4-5 litoshi were only for a couple of weeks after the Apollo phase when miners dumped MOON. And MOON has more than 34000 funded addresses, the community is yet not very active though, anyway it's more active than Dogecoin's one (if you count posts in the ANN threads).

don't really see a use for this coin
No, the point is MOON is designed for real use. It's faster than Bitcoin, the number of coins was set with future in mind.
Currently Mooncoin offers Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin owners (who have some risk appetite) to diversify their holdings into another classic, well-known and time-tested coin, but with an unbelievable Risk/Reward Ratio.

Nice, the price of Mooncoin [MOON] received a 910.05% increase. Not bad, considering that this coin used to be traded at 4-5 liteoshi.

I am guessing that since deaconboogie isn't back yet the coin has been takenover by one of the users within this forum.

With the price per Mooncoin being 14 liteoshi, project Mooncoin reminds me of the old days of Cryptsy when it was being stable at 30 Liteoshi.

I don't really see a use for this coin though other than just keeping it as a collectible thing.

I sent the request form to add Mooncoin in the voting list

To ask friends to register an account at mercatox.com...

What more do we have to do to get it listed?

Great. The most difficult work is done. Now we almost have MOON listed at Mercatox.

Received confirmation Mail 

no confirmation letter to register account .. i sent msg to support of mercatox Exchange... 

It looks like you will not be able to get your altcoins. The court is planning to sell coins. You'll receive funds, if you submit a claim and if the court approves it.
