Hello steemit community. Recently I downloaded and fully synced a gridcoin core wallet for windows. This was in order to stake coins, as well as import a private key from a server wallet that has decided to not support gridcoin (coinvault.com). However, the gridcoin core wallet is unable to import private keys.
Anyone else experiencing such issues?
Have they actively decided against supporting GRC or, while also addressing this issue, is there potential for us to reach out to coinvault and express our desire for them to host GRC?

I emailed coinvault support, and he said he was unsure whether they were going to continue supporting GRC.

Hi I am the dev behind coinvault.io, I took gridcoin down because it didn't have many users and I needed the resources to run other coins, but now I have added some more servers so if there is interest I can bring gridcoin back up

Wow, thanks for commenting. I definitely have an interest, especially if you could add an import private key function.

Hi you can get your private key using the mnemonic and a BIP39 tool you don't need coinvault for that, I did think about adding such functionality to the site but we better not expose private keys on web sites (very bad practice)

I did do that, however, as the title and main article of this steemit post says, the core wallet's import private key function doesn't work currently.

No, not really. Maybe you can email them. It would be good if the core wallet could be fixed. It seems ever since gridcoin switched to proof of stake some wallets have issues. For example, the coinomi gridcoin wallet, mine at least, is unable to send coins. Coinomi support is working on it.

Gridcoin is functioning correctly, I have no issues with coinomi & the private keys can be exported/imported fine. Any other issues?

Thanks for helping, I appreciate it, I want to keep investing in gridcoin, but not if the wallet isn't working properly.

Interesting,
dumpprivkey gridcoinaddress
importprivkey gridcoinprivkey [label] [rescan=true]
saying "unable to import private keys." without details in how it has failed to do so does not help at all. I dump all my grc address privatekeys as an alternative backup.

This was tested and importing a dumped privkey does in fact work.
tested on testnet:

dumped from another wallet and imported to another testnet wallet.
P.S. testnet is testing grounds
is it coinvault.com or coinvault.io?

coinvault.io, com is some gold selling website.
It works https://github.com/gridcoin/Gridcoin-Research/issues/388

I tried to import the key you posted and I get the error. http://ibb.co/nwqh8Q I have opened a new ticket on github, thank you for helping.

You should edit this post, you're posting your private key publicly.

That is the private key ifoggz posted publicly. I was testing it. It doesn't work. I think you need to try and import a private key that is not from your wallet. Coinomi has a private key generator you can try (phrase recovery) here https://coinomi.com/recovery-phrase-tool.html

In case anyone cares, the coinomi wallet phrase generator creates keys invalid to the gridcoin core. However, it doesn't matter because I was able to send gridcoins using coinomi by setting grc transaction fees to 0.001 grc. Thank you gridcoin dev team! You rock.
