importprivkey broken on both Mac OS X and Windows about blackcoin-old HOT 13 CLOSED

It works in the console if I add a label. If I do it via RPC, it still times out (with or without the label), but if I kill the BlackCoin-qt process and reopen it, it ultimately added it. However, the RPC is still broken :(

After importprivkey, the wallet will trigger rescan, which will scan the entire blockchain, and the process will take 5 - 15 minutes and even more depending on your processing power.

However you can disable the rescan by importprivkey <blackcoinprivkey> rescan=false

FYI: The syntax for importprivkey is

importprivkey <blackcoinprivkey> [label] [rescan=true]

from blackcoin-old.

The wallet will not respond to the RPC until the rescan is complete, that's why it cause timeout

from blackcoin-old.

rescan is needed if there is fund in the address corresponded to the privkey prior to the import.

However, if the privkey is newly generated, then there is no reason to rescan it. For example, rescan is set to false in the blackshare project. https://github.com/doetsch/blackshares/blob/master/src/wallet.cpp#L2675

That makes sense. But does the Mac OS X version support setting the rescan to false? I just get this response: importprivkey <blackcoinprivkey> [label]. If I try either importprivkey 69UKv8ib5CNNr9DPjiPCkAHMLeoZMkFi13j9wGPThiDBSwodyQX afafa rescan=false or importprivkey 69UKv8ib5CNNr9DPjiPCkAHMLeoZMkFi13j9wGPThiDBSwodyQX afafa false.

Hmmm, looks like it does... https://github.com/rat4/blackcoin/blob/d7b2fa94ae48812fb7d747f7e48e956996e5b3e5/src/rpcdump.cpp#L110

from blackcoin-old.

It does, however the rescan flag was added in v1.1.2

from blackcoin-old.

The wallet will not respond to the RPC until the rescan is complete, that's why it cause timeout

Actually, the fact that this does this is pretty poor design. I assume this is a relic of an older Bitcoin-qt design?

1. Why does the UI lock up if no label is passed?
2. @rat4 Can you post the v1.1.2 Mac OS X client?

Thanks, this functionality is needed for an app I'm writing.

1. Why does the UI lock up if no label is passed?

I've tested this on latest codebase and haven't noticed a difference if
the label is passed or not.

1. @rat4 https://github.com/rat4 Can you post the |v1.1.2| Mac OS X
   client?

Mac build was provided by a community member, but he's no longer active.

1. How long is it expected for the rescan to take?

The bigger (already synchronized part of the) blockchain the longer
rescan takes.

Mac build was provided by a community member, but he's no longer active.

Does this mean that Mac builds will no longer be provided? i.e. Is Mac no longer supported by BlackCoin?

from blackcoin-old.

I'm working on building the mac client but been working on it on the weekends. So not all hope is lost on mac builds. Any help would be wondervol.

@jprichardson If you just need the blackcoind, it can be eassily compiled using macports. #39 However, it seems that there is some bugs in macports that prevent the building of QT wallet
