A. Procedure to get access to your money on PoS wallet:

  1. Start your PoW wallet and go to console
  2. enter "listunspent" - this command provides list of all incoming transactions
  3. for each transaction run "gettransaction transaction_id"
  4. for each address produced by "gettransaction" run "dumpprivkey address"
  5. put all private keys into text file. do not save this file. just keep it open for a while.
  6. close PoW wallet
  7. start PoS wallet and go to console
  8. type 'importprivkey priv_key' for each key from text file
  9. after you finish importing all private keys your PoS wallet should show same balance as your PoW wallet. please let me know if you notice any difference

B. Slightly modified manual procedure

  1. Start your PoW wallet and go to console
  2. enter "listreceivedbyaddress 1 true" - this produces list of both empty and non empty addresses in your wallet
  3. [ REMOVED ]
  4. for each address produced by "listreceivedbyaddress" run "dumpprivkey address"
  5. put all private keys into text file. do not save this file. just keep it open for a while.
  6. close PoW wallet
  7. start PoS wallet and go to console
  8. type 'importprivkey priv_key' for each key from text file

A1. Detailed manual procedure A

1 - Start current Noble wallet (PoW)

2 - Click on 'Help'

3 - Click on 'Console'

4 - Here you can see list of all commands available (output of 'help' command)

5 - Type 'listunspent' command which is going to show list of all transactions which you received

6 - Now you should see list of transactions. In my case there were two transactions (notice numbers '1' and '2' in blue color). For each row starting with 'tx' you need to issue command 'gettransaction' which returns 'address'. Then type 'dumpprivkey' for each address. .

7 - I have used 'notepad' as a temporary storing place for private keys.

8 - Close noblecoin-qt when all private keys are gathered.

9 - Start noblecoin-qt PoS version.

10 - Go to 'console' and for each private key issue 'importprivkey' command
