Title: Peergroup download of the blockchain stalls?
Post by: Avgustin Aldridge on April 22, 2013, 08:32:31 AM
I'm using bitcoinsharp to build my client. I try to download the blockchain in a peergroup network. Download starts, but when progress is 98%, the download is stopped & the client is waiting (2 hours without any change). The size of the downloaded blockchain file is 4.5 MB.

I use the following code:

PeerGroup peerGroup = new PeerGroup(blockStore, @params, chain);
peerGroup.AddAddress(new PeerAddress(IPAddress.Parse("84.38.65.102")));
peerGroup.AddAddress(new PeerAddress(IPAddress.Parse("83.23.15.71")));
peerGroup.Start();
peerGroup.DownloadBlockChain();

Any ideas?

As you can see, there are no many people doing things with .Net and bitcoinsharp is a port from bitcoinj 0.2 (a little old). Try to use bitcoinj with ikvm, i didnīt tried it but it could work.

why is what? Why there is few .net devs in bitcoins? OSS community. Thatīs the reason why .net went several years behind java in almost all, just to mention: unit testing, continuos integration, dependency injection containers, ORMs, static code analysis and so on.

.Net doesnīt have a big enough OSS community. Ofcourse this is just an opinion.
