[note: If you encrypted your wallet, you will need to type in this command before the 'importprivkey' command: walletpassphrase 'your secret password' '30']

To get coins out of a paper wallet, or cold storage, you have to add the addresses' private key to your "on network" wallet (Groestlcoin Core). After you do so, your address is no longer a paper wallet or cold storage (basically, it has been used up). Any remaining funds that you want to keep in a paper wallet or cold storage must be sent to a different cold storage address or paper wallet. You will need to download and have Groestlcoin Core running first.

Here is how to add the private key to the Groestlcoin Core (standard) wallet:
Click the "Help" menu and choose "Debug window."
Go to the "Console" tab.
Type in the command:
importprivkey 'your private key'
Press <enter> and the client will import the key.

It may take a while for it to processes. The address will show up in your "Receive Coins" addresses and becomes part of the Groestlcoin Core wallet.

note: If you encrypted your wallet, you will need to type in this command before the 'importprivkey' command:
walletpassphrase 'your secret password' '30'

Cold storage is simply having your Groestlcoins on an address where its private key is "off the network." You can do this yourself but it is a bit tricky (which is kind of the point). Keeping the private key off the network keeps your coins safe from potential hackers/viruses/malware because there is no way they can access them.
When you are ready to spend your coins on a cold storage address, you bring the private key back on the network. This makes the address part of your wallet and no longer cold storage.

Here is just one of the many ways to create cold storage addresses:
•Format a USB drive/flash drive or other kind of external storage.
•Download a fresh copy of the Groestlcoin Client wallet from http://groestlcoin.org and save it on the external storage. Virus scan the external storage. Make sure the storage is clean.
•Disconnect a computer/laptop from the network--no internet, no wi-fi, etc.
•Format the computer and re-install the OS - This insures there is no malware on your computer.
•Install Groestlcoin from the external storage.
•Run Groestlcoin. It will try to sync to the network, but it can't because the computer is off the internet.
•Click on the receive tab to show your Groestlcoin address.
•If you want more than one cold storage address, click the "New Address" button.
•Copy the Groestlcoin address in memory--to paste it later
•Click the "Help" menu and open the "Debug Window."
•Switch over to the "Console" tab.
•Type in this command and paste in your address where noted: dumpprivkey <address>
•Copy and paste your address and the resulting Private Key into a text editor (like notepad).
•Repeat copying and pasting the keys and addresses until you feel you have enough.
•Print and Save this text file to the external storage.
•Done! Format the computer again.

Congratulations you now have your very own Cold Storage Address that has never been connected to the Internet. There are other ways to do it, but this is probably the most secure way.
You now hold two copies in your hand, the text file on the external storage device and a printed copy. Store both in a secure location--or in separate locations for better security.

Three things that are extremely important about cold storage addresses:
•Anyone who can get your private key can spend your coins on that address.
•You can not recover your coins if you lose the private key.
•Security is never 100% guaranteed. You coins are as only safe as you make them.
So make sure you keep it safe, but also make sure you can get it back.
Also highly recommended: Test the entire process with a very small amount. Make sure the whole process works and that you understand it before you put your life's savings in there.

Enjoy your cold storage.

do you have any amount on you wallet? if not, delete everything plz.
Then reinstall and show me the groestlcoin.conf that u are using. U are still trying to connect through socks.

i have now down loaded and installed 3 versions of the wallet have port forwarded ports 1331 and 1441 have added every node i could find recomended in the forums and after a week the wallet has not found a single block the debug file shows the following errors:
"ERROR: Error reading proxy response"  , "socket no message in first 60 seconds, 1 0" , "ERROR: GetMyExternalIP() : connection to 37.247.55.42:80 failed"
I have tryed both socks 4 and 5 shows 1-3 conections to network. Are there dependancies I have to install  or is some thing wrong with my conf file any help would be greatly appreciated

Start the latest wallet (v2.0.0.5, delete all other versions. Go to settings, then options, network, turn off the socks proxy and restart the client. The network should start to synchronize. If it is not working, replace your groestlcoin.conf with this and restart the client:

listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=u
rpcpassword=p
rpcport=1441
addnode=37.187.129.122
addnode=62.210.162.235
addnode=88.167.215.32
addnode=69.197.137.58
addnode=103.16.218.165
addnode=84.98.85.30
addnode=76.16.120.82
addnode=62.210.123.27
addnode=117.13.253.241

Still not working? Try this:

Close client
Backup your wallet.dat file
Go to: C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\groestlcoin
Delete everything EXCEPT for the wallet.dat file
Run the new wallet

If it is not working, replace your groestlcoin.conf with this and restart the client:

listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=u
rpcpassword=p
rpcport=1441
addnode=37.187.129.122

Hi,

I will try to give some answers.

Can we get autoupdates from the wallet?
- We will not implement this, until we have found a secure and simpler way than: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1453 (with rubberhose problem). It is considered as far too high risk to make it autoupdate the regular way (think of our server hacked, dns server hijacked, etc). We choose for the safest and that's manual update at the moment.

So is there any other way to get notifications?
- Yes, we could use the mailinglist like this: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ . Or follow us any social media (Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Irc etc).

How to verify that the wallet is not manipulated/corrupted?
- I have asked the dev to place the MD5 sums on the website to verify the downloads.

Just to let you all know the great news! Groestlcoin is now officially on coinpayments.net. You can see us here:
www.coinpayments.net/index.php?cmd=supported_coins

Thanks to all you guys (especially everyone on the QQ Group) that have supported us! We have just taken 1 giant leap forward tonight but it is only the beginning! Stay tuned for more news!

Also guys here is the list of stores that are part of the coinpayments program, feel free to contact them all and let them know that Groestlcoin is accepted by coinpayments now. So let's get out there and introduce a whole lot of new merchants to Groestlcoin and get them on board:
www.coinpayments.net/index.php?cmd=directory

This is it guys, spread the word! A giant door has been opened for us, all you need to do is walk on through.

If we are going to make a switch to DGW v3, then it need to be a quick and decisive move. I don't think going out for public comment is really the best route when it comes to stability issues or back end problems because we know that most people have no clue about the true inner workings of the coins.

Still being transparent and open about the problem and letting everyone know when and how it will be fixed has been very good as well.... we just need to see that 'hard fork at block #####' sooner rather than later.

I hope this helps: http://groestlcoin.org/forum/index.php?topic=41.msg275#msg275

Who are the bunch of developers and others - close related to GRS?
Could you count them please, jackie?

I'm not sure where you want to go with this question?
We have 1 very active dev which is working dedicated on Groestlcoin. At the moment he is working around the clock on the android miner.
Also we have 4 very talented PR guys working dedicated on Groestlcoin.

I have few proposals into which direction this coin should go.

Mind to share it with us on: http://groestlcoin.org/forum/index.php?topic=67.0 ? Or you can PM any of the administrators here, which all are close related to GRS.

And most certainly, GRS must have some useful usage.

In the background we are working 24/7 to have merchants accept Groestlcoin. These are not just words, but you will it yourself soon.
