Yes, it helps. Actually my maxcoin.conf lacked the rpc port # so that is why executing your command didn't work. But now it does, so I'm joining the pool soon.
By the way, MAXcoin is on mcxnow, a speedy exchange. You'll like it when you compare it to others. Use my referral link below if you will.
Well I'm sure someone knows how to fish out a Maxcoin receiving address out of wallet.dat for MAXcoin. And someone can install linux maxcoin-qt. Just not me, I've just started with virtualbox. Or I may have to wait for the Windows maxcoin-qt wallet to be available. What a mess.
Not sure about the QT client, but while running maxcoind, I can run this command with the following output..
seems to show my addresses and coin balances:
$ ./maxcoind listreceivedbyaddress
[
{
"address" : "mdc8mHJKqwjHHnPNDZMVAaqoQVXCFhn8Lw",
"account" : "",
"amount" : 0.30938061,
"confirmations" : 188
},
{
"address" : "mJBeEcJrJzXcuWnpsuVcL5gGiqrDZTK1P4",
"account" : "",
"amount" : 0.25136731,
"confirmations" : 128
}
]
hope that helps.
