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?

Post by: lontivero on June 08, 2013, 10:53:41 PM 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.

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. |
