Some people are trying to kill it or get those coins in sync with another blockchain, like LiteCoin.

Title: Re: Wallets going into and out of sync Post by: oroqen on June 01, 2013, 05:43:27 PM Checkpoints inserted into the source and get people too update their clients will help lock in the right chain, but any of the alts that have absent developers are probably dead in the water if enough nodes accept/distribute the other chain, unless someone forks/picks-up the source into an unofficial update/branch.

I know of one dev on a coin that was active. He told me his nodes went all crazy... so I am starting to think maybe an attack Title: Re: Wallets going into and out of sync Post by: MrWizard on June 01, 2013, 05:47:53 PM you need to find the ip address responsible and block it.

Title: Re: Wallets going into and out of sync Post by: gisfrancisco on June 02, 2013, 02:26:06 PM you need to find the ip address responsible and block it. How does one accomplish that? Title: Re: Wallets going into and out of sync Post by: shakezula on June 02, 2013, 02:30:02 PM This is an issue when not enough of the code in a cut and paste clone is changed and then the code is left un-maintained. These scrypt-clones NEED checkpoints added to them at regular intervals (every 5-10K blocks isn't a bad target, more is fine too). If that's not happening, its only a matter of time before a wayward node tries to synch another coin's blockchain and throw's everything out of whack this has happened to Franko, GameCoin, and a couple others. It can be fixed by the "dev" who adds some checkpoints and throws out new binaries on a regular basis.

Title: Re: Wallets going into and out of sync Post by: nonameo on June 08, 2013, 06:23:57 PM IIRC elacoin had a similar problem, but it was because blocks were moving so incredibly slow. The QT wallet is programmed to automatically go out of sync if a block isn't found int a certain amount of time. Haven't had that problem in a while :).
Title: Re: Wallets going into and out of sync Post by: XRcode on June 08, 2013, 08:08:44 PM You can fix this by putting your own checkpoints in checkpoints.cpp
You don't actually need the dev to do it, you just need to know how to compile the source. |
