## Claiming Funds From Old Hush Wallets |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Hush migrated to a new mainnet after Block 500,000 on the old Hush blockchain. |
||||
|
Funds in addresses as of Block 500,000 were transported to our new chain. About |
||||
|
31,000 addresses with at least 0.00000001 HUSH were transported to the new Hush |
||||
|
mainnet. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
To claim funds on the new chain, there are few options. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
### Funds on exchanges |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Firstly, no bueno! Not your keys, not your coins. It's best not to store coins |
||||
|
on exchanges. But in this case, you lucked out! There is nothing to do to claim |
||||
|
new coins if you have coins on an exchange that supports the new Hush chain. |
||||
|
The exchange will follow the instructions from the next section and you will |
||||
|
magically have funds on the new chain. Note that old Hush addresses started |
||||
|
with `t1` and now they begin with `R`. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
To see what an old HUSH v2 address looks like on the new chain, this online tool |
||||
|
can be used: https://dexstats.info/addressconverter.php |
||||
|
|
||||
|
or this command line tool: https://git.hush.is/hush/hush3/src/master/contrib/convert_address.py |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
### Using an old wallet.dat |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Backup your old HUSH wallet.dat, and backup any current wallet.dat that is in your |
||||
|
|
||||
|
~/.komodo/HUSH3/ |
||||
|
|
||||
|
directory. There is no way to lose funds, as long as you have backups!!! Make sure |
||||
|
to make backups. Do not skip this step. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Make sure any/all GUI wallets are stopped! Also make sure your old Hush node |
||||
|
and new Hush3 node are stopped: |
||||
|
|
||||
|
cd hush3 |
||||
|
./src/hush-cli stop |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Do not copy wallets or move wallets while your full node is running! This could |
||||
|
corrupt your wallet! |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Now copy your old Hush wallet.dat to |
||||
|
|
||||
|
~/.komodo/HUSH3/ |
||||
|
|
||||
|
with a command like |
||||
|
|
||||
|
# DO NOT RUN THIS WITHOUT MAKING BACKUPS! |
||||
|
cp ~/.hush/wallet.dat ~/.komodo/HUSH3/ |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The reason this works is that both old HUSH and new HUSH are still Bitcoin Protocol |
||||
|
coins, which both use secp256k1 public keys. Now start your HUSH3 node again, |
||||
|
with this special CLI argument that will clear out transactions from your wallet: |
||||
|
|
||||
|
cd hush3 |
||||
|
./src/hushd -zapwallettxes |
||||
|
|
||||
|
This will cause a full history rescan, which will take some time. Once it's complete, |
||||
|
you can see your funds with this command: |
||||
|
|
||||
|
./src/hush-cli getwalletinfo |
||||
|
|
||||
|
NOTE: Do not use this wallet except to send funds to a new wallet! |
||||
|
|
||||
|
### Private Keys |
||||
|
|
||||
|
You can also transport funds one address at a time via private keys. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Agama Desktop Wallet WIF-to-WIF Tool can convert between old HUSH and new HUSH3 |
||||
|
private keys. |
