FAQ

Verified against: Core v2.0.2 / development source a71c0eb2, mainnet, 2026-09-29.

Is this the historical Qwertycoin chain?

No. Current Qwertycoin uses a reset mainnet and Monero 0.18-derived Core. Historical wallets, balances, daemon data, ports, miners and exchange integrations are not automatically compatible. See Legacy Network Compatibility.

Why does my address not begin with QWC?

Mainnet primary addresses normally begin with QWC, while a valid mainnet subaddress can begin with Qqb. Do not edit the text prefix. Use current wallet software or wallet RPC validate_address to verify network and address type.

Are checksums signatures?

No. A checksum proves that a downloaded file matches the published digest; it does not identify who published it. Current release assets are not documented as cryptographically signed publisher artifacts.

Does a full node earn EPoSe rewards?

Not by itself. A service operator must enable the EPoSe v2 producer, keep a stable protected identity, advertise a reachable restricted endpoint, complete epoch-bound admission, and obtain sufficient canonical receipt evidence. Mining remains responsible for block production and chain selection.

Must an EPoSe operator stake or mine?

No stake or funded registration transaction is required by the verified implementation. The operator supplies a public primary reward address, but never a wallet spend key or private view key. Mining is independent.

Why is there no service reward yet?

Admission, frozen membership, service rounds, qualification closure, deterministic selection for a later payout epoch, Coinbase maturity and wallet unlock are separate stages. A local ready state or submitted receipt is not proof of canonical qualification.

Which ports are public?

For a normal public node, expose P2P 8196. Keep unrestricted daemon RPC 8197 and ZMQ 8199 private. An EPoSe producer additionally exposes a restricted daemon RPC listener, commonly 8198. A separate wallet RPC may also default to 8198; on a combined host assign it another loopback-only port, such as 18082.

Is get_epose_diagnostics available in v2.0.2?

No. It is verified in development source a71c0eb2 and absent from release source 54308d84 (v2.0.2). Release operators must use the release-supported status methods and logs.

Can I restore a wallet without its original restore height?

Yes, but scanning from an earlier height takes longer. A date-derived or conservative height is safer than a height after the first incoming transaction. A seed restores keys, not historical legacy-chain balances.

Is the Web Wallet Messenger released?

No. QMS/Messenger work is an open pull request as of the verification date and is not part of the published Web Wallet track.

Where should integration developers start?

Read API Overview, then Wallet RPC Setup and Integration Examples. Keep exact integer atomic units and reconcile ambiguous spending calls instead of retrying blindly.
