Hey everyone, I'm an old SXC miner from 2013-2014 who had a wallet that was backed up Jan of 2014. When I tried to put the wallet into the new client, it says all my transactions are conflicted and I can't find any of my transaction ids/addresses in the prohashing block explorer.
Can anyone help me understand why I can't access my coins? Thanks!
Edit: My account says I'm brand new cause apparently my old account info was released in a hack of 2015? I have been away from crypto for quite some time...
Have you overwritten your original files?
I would start by shutting down any running versions of SXC - rename their directories to back-ups, then try to reinstate the original 2013/4 version of sexcoin and see if it will start. Don't worry about having an internet connection.
If your 2013/4 wallet stars, great. Shut it down and rename these as keep directories.
Install a *fresh* 0.10.4.0 version of SXC and see that it starts up.
If you have the bandwidth, allow it to sync (you don't need to at this point, but you can if you wish) There is a bootstrap to get your install mostly up to date.
If you need a
sexcoin.conf file, this is what one looks like:
rpcuser=something
rpcpassword=other
rpcallowip=(number)
listen=1
daemon=1
server=0
testnet=0
gen=0
port=9560
rpcport=9561
addnode=dnsseed.sexcoin.info
addnode=dnsseed.lavajumper.com
addnode=76.74.177.199
addnode=67.166.243.240
addnode=coins.prohashing.com:6065
addnode=sxc.e-pool.net:8880
addnode=74.208.174.17:9560
addnode=62.152.54.44:9560
addnode=94.156.189.114:9560
addnode=68.55.199.104:9560
Once you have installed 0.10.4.0 and are satisfied it works - brand new out of the box, shut it down. (a dialogue box will display until it is safe to shut down computer).
Right now the C:\Users\Blah\AppData\Roaming\sexcoin directory is 1.98 Gb in size, you can do the next bit on your computer or, on a eg 4 Gb USB.
Don't forget to
*copy* - don't *move* any files from now on.
Find a new directory on your computer or usb.
eg C:\Fluffy E:\testsxc etc
into this folder
Sauron poured all of his hate and copy the contents of the C:\Users\Blah\AppData\Roaming\sexcoin directory AND then copy all of the files in the C:\sexcoininstall directory into this same directory.
Then create a bat file called
sexcoin.batsexcoin-qt.exe -datadir=%~dp0
You have just created sexcoin on a portable device.
More importantly, you can now experiment either copying (overwriting) the wallet.dat file from your 2013/4 install, or, just importing any private keys, this install you can crash and burn as many times as you like.
*most important* -
always start via the sexcoin.bat file, otherwise, the program will call on the computer your currently running it from's AppData/Roaming files (and if you're not paying attention, you can move said wallet's contents to the wrong place and loose out big time!)
