And than click generate TX
You will get RAW code your transaction
The 10 steps tutorial with images explain the send transaction option: see https://goo.gl/9GjQyp
It is the same, the only difference is that to make DAC you need type 01 in data filed, but for simple transaction you not need that field.
You can send PGC also by using MyEtherWallet: Custom node Pegascoin URL https://pegaschain.net PORT 3000 -
08. Node not connected - in web wallet, why is that?
You are using web wallet and click OPEN DOB - Enter password - SELECT A KEYSTORE FILE... - SIGN DOB ...
If you get Node not connected - refresh page and try again then or a minute later. This is just a network related issue.
You can also use Webwallet via MyEtherWallet: Custome node Pegascoin URL https://pegaschain.net PORT 3000 (*without DOB option) -
09. Connection: no connection - in depository?
If this error appears, and you have wallet issues, close the wallet, End task gpg.exe in Task Manager and try again later.
If issue persist, contact #support. -
10. I cannot open wallet / depository / port and gpg.exe error?
If wallet crashes for any reason and when you can't open or use wallet, account and blocks are not updating, then:
- close your wallet
- open Task Manager - End task this process: gpg.exe
- open wallet again and wait for blocks to update 100%.
Another reason why windows wallet doesn't work is because port 9999 in you PC is used by other application.
Check port 9999 is used by other app, close that app and open PGC wallet.
How to check port: open Command Prompt as administrator and enter: netstat -aon -ab
If there is another application using port 9999, close that application and then open PGC wallet. -

To register a DAC is required to:
- have a balance on account address in amount of WORTH AMOUNT+PRICE AMOUNT+TX FEE meaning 50K+1K+TX FEE
- send transaction with PRICE AMOUNT to registrar address with data 01
After successfully passing the balance check, DAC will be registered for a period of 3 months.
registrar address: 0xaf3f1729ed310cf7ad351d6ba3577cc96ce6b453
registrar address is the address where account will send PRICE AMOUNT for DAC registration
DOB2.0 address: 0x8108c50ee01c5e6389ccbf7be1dfff7178f51b70
DOB2.0 address is the address from where DAC will get DAILY REWARD
We recommended to check registrar address in at least 2 places before opening a DAC.
You can double check the registrar address in bitcointalk, discord or here. -
