I really didn´t expect this coin to get back on its feet like this.
I had more than four millions PND in my wallet, but some time ago I gave up hope and uninstalled the wallet. Bad move, obviously. Lesson learnt.
I have some hopes to get it back, but I´m not fully sure how or whether it´s possible at all. Can you guys help me out?
I don´t have my wallet.dat anymore, but I did keep two keys. I have the wallet key (which I entered in https://chainz.cryptoid.info/pnd/ and it did find my wallet, with its content still intact). I also have what I think is the private key, a much longer string of characters.
And that´s all. So far I´ve installed the last version of the Pandabank, synced the blockchain, and tried something I read about going into Help > Debug mode > Console tab, and then writing importprivkey herecomesthekey [labelforthekey]. I only get error messages, though.
When I enter the wallet key, I get Invalid private key (Code -5).
When I enter the long key which I think is the private key, I get importprivkey [label]
Adds a private key (as returned by dumpprivkey) to your wallet. (code -1) . Looks like it doesn´t even recognice it as a valid key?
Am I supposed to combine both keys in some way?
Am I missing some other key or some step?
Is there any way to rebuild the wallet.dat?
Is it all gone for good?
I´d like to offer half a million PND as a reward for the first one who can get me a working solution.
Thanks!

A couple of ideas, what format is the Private key in ?
From the CryptoDepot JavaScript PandaCoin Paper Wallet Generator http://cryptodepot.org/paperwallet/pandacoin/ Wallet Details tab.
Your PandaCoin Private Key is a unique secret number that only you know. It can be encoded in a number of different formats. Below we show the PandaCoin Address and Public Key that corresponds to your Private Key as well as your Private Key in the most popular encoding formats (WIF, WIFC, HEX, B64, MINI). So by entering your private key above you see the various formats below, for importing you want WIF (51 characters base58, starts with a '7' ). You can download a local copy of the paper wallet generator and run it offline, if you have security concerns using the online version.
PandaCoin stores public keys in compressed format. The client now also supports import and export of private keys with importprivkey/dumpprivkey. The format of the exported private key is determined by whether the address was generated in an old or new wallet.
see http://cryptodepot.org/paperwallet/pandacoin/ once you generate a private key, proceed to the Wallet Details tab to see better how to know better what your key is. The Pandacoin electrum wallet has an easy to use private key sweeping capability, but I have only used Private Key WIF (51 characters base58, starts with a '7' ).
Finally I found this place again! I forgot I had asked and then I couldn´t find my way back.
I´ve been tinkering with what you´ve given me, but I can´t recognize a key in there. The "long key" that I have, in an old file that I named "Pandacoin Wallet Keys" years ago, is a string of 239 characters. There´s several 7s and Us and I´ve been trying to piece a password out of them (for example, taking a 7 and the following 50 characters), but I´m not even sure where I´m supposed to plug them in. And there´s also + and / symbols in between that I don´t see in the codes generated by that page.
Any ideas?
