Importing private keys from old wallet.dat using salvagewallet option

This is recommended and by far easiest procedure

  1. just in case backup real non-PoS wallet.dat
  2. if your real non-POS wallet.dat is encrypted -salvagewallet is not going to work. You need to follow either https://github.com/eagleflies/noblecoin/wiki/Manual-way-of-importing-private-keys or https://github.com/eagleflies/noblecoin/wiki/Importing-private-keys-using-a-script
  3. make sure all Noblecoin wallets are closed
  4. copy wallet.dat from non-PoS config directory (if during copying system asks you if you want to overwrite please confirm)
  5. [Windows 7] from C:\Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\Noblecoin into C:\Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\NoblecoinPOS
  6. [Linux] from ~/.noblecoin into ~/.noblecoinPOS
  7. Start PoS-wallet
  8. [Windows 7] start 'cmd' and run noblecoin-qt -salvagewallet
  9. [Linux] run noblecoind -salvagewallet
  10. If you do not see any errors go and check if balance displayed by new PoS-wallet is same as was on old one.
