Same for me.  I'm sure there's a lot of wallets trying to connect to a very small number of "acceptable" nodes right now.  I'm not getting too worried yet.

Do we need a list of nodes?  (no conf in the zip folder)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like a lot of people are worried about losing coins due to the fork, when really, isn't there a pretty low threat of that at this point?

The only coins that could be lost are ones generated (mined) AFTER the fork and on the wrong blockchain.  I'm pretty sure the exchanges froze deposits before the fork (I know Mintpal did anyway).  And most pools have been down since the fork also.  Unless you directly bought SYS from someone who mined them after the fork, you should have coins generated on the proper blockchain.  And coins generated on the proper blockchain that may have been sent to a wallet on the wrong fork, would likely revert back to the last address on the proper fork upon blockchain rescan.  So in short, the only way to get screwed is if you exchanged BTC (or something else) for SYS generated on the wrong fork.

This seems unlikely due to deposits to exchanges being down since before the fork.  But I'm definitely no expert on blockchains.  If I'm way off here, please, someone enlighten me.

Does anyone know what's wrong with Thepool.pw?  Over 80% orphans and doesn't seem to have found a block in hours.  The pool seemed to be on the right fork after the update last night, so I'm not sure what's gone wrong.

What are some working pools?  Thanks.

My wallet is synced and I just received a payout from the pool, confirmed.

The only issue I'm having now is the crash/no GUI on QT restart.  But I don't think this is entirely unique to the syscoin wallet, as I've seen this bug in other wallets before.

I had all the previous problems mentioned.  Wallet not starting sync, wallet/blockchain files corrupted, sync hanging on 1632, 1663 etc.  I started from scratch with the update, copied a config file into the roaming folder with the most recent nodes provided by the devs and started the wallet.  Then I just left it alone.  About 30 minutes later, I was good to go.  I think it's just taking a while for the network to stabilize.

Okay, this finally worked for me.

Only problem now is closing and restarting the wallet.  On restart, it's in the system tray but seems frozen or the GUI isn't loading.  Any ideas?  Restarting system doesn't help.  I have to delete the files (except .conf and wallet.dat) in the roaming folder to get it to load right.  Which file specifically is causing this?

Deleted everything except wallet.  Downloaded zip and ran after putting .conf file in roaming folder.  Started right up and began syncing right away...

... and stuck at 1663 of 1668.

Did I fork something up?

Looks like the available nodes are totally overwhelmed.  I guess that's what happens when you launch a coin with a 15% IPO:  You have a LOT of people wanting synced wallets from the word "go"...?

My wallet sync is now stuck at 1632 of 1668...  wtf?

I just downloaded and ran the .exe file.  Didn't have to delete previous chain data or change nodes.  Just took a few minutes.

FOR WINDOWS WALLETS THAT AREN'T SYNCING:

I had to add the nodes listed earlier by snipsnoop using the .conf file he linked (console wouldn't cooperate for some reason, probably user error).

Then it still took SEVERAL minutes to begin sync.  Give it some time.  After all, literally every wallet is trying to sync tonight!  It should work out soon.

I've added nodes via console AND .conf file.  Still not connecting.  No firewalls, no ideas.

Bobsag or Thomas, Have you guys at Minersource heard anything from BA regarding the X3?  It's been a while now since they were supposed to be ready to ship a few (around the 12th according to the update two weeks ago).  I can't get anything other than vague answers from BA.  Do you have any reason to expect an X3 soon?

So what's with the Multipool payouts.  I haven't had a payout since July 10.  Seems there are others and the message on the pool has been up since before my last payout.  Is this related to the transaction issues with exchanges?

How "slightly" are we talking?  I was mining at ultracoinpool.info before switching from GPUs to scrypt asics at Cryptotrain.net.  I had set payouts to 20 UTC, but nearly every payout was 19.XXXXX.  After some digging, I found most it was for reaching a balance of 20.000XXXX and after the transaction fee was deducted, the total that actually arrived in my wallet was 19.XXXX (~20 - Tx Fee = ~19.9.....)

This happens more often and is more noticeable as your reward per block approaches the cost of Tx Fee-- the smaller your reward/block, the more noticeable it will be.

Make sure you have enough amps on the 12V rail.  The sticker on your PSU should have a breakdown of each rail.  Some cheaper power supplies use more than one rail, in which case you would have to make sure the rails powering your PCIe lines (or whichever lines you use with adapters) can supply the needed wattage.  Ideally you would have a single 12V rail with at minimum 500W on that rail alone (~42+ Amps).  I think most 750W single rail PSUs have upwards of 60 amps on the 12V rail, so you would be fine.

If it's the Bronze model, I have one myself that I'm running blizzards on.  The single 12v rail is supper reliable (rated for 480watts on a 40A rail).  I have it pulling ~390 watts at the wall without any trouble for a while now.  I'm sure it could handle a single board, but probably only at 100 GH/chip-- no overclocking.  It would only be for those needing to pinch pennies.

It's hard to beat those Dell PSUs, especially with the breakout boards.  Miners' best friend.

In case anyone is interested, I got a newsletter from EVGA saying they have "B Stock" 500 watt PSUs for sale.  It says they are 80 Plus Bronze and the model # is for the 500 Watt Bronze, but the picture is of their 500w 80 Plus (not bronze) PSU.  And I can't find where it says why they are B Stock.  But they're 20 bucks so might be worth a shot for some of you.

Bobsag, what will be done with any leftover chips?  Say I have 100 chips, 48 go on boards and 48 pay for it, that leaves 4 chips.  I assume we can pay to have those mounted but if we don't will they get shipped back or maybe used to offset some other cost...

Also, will you be able to get some of Marto's TP-link controllers in stock to go with these?

Seems like it would make sense to set-up default 'packages' for each BA product.  For Example, Each X3 can be exchanged for 12 boards shipped with 2 TP-links.  Choose that default option or send bare chips and pay all other costs separately...  just my 2 satoshis.

I've been running the numbers for several different options.  It looks like for one X3 order, you're looking at a minimum of 1000 for the extra costs.  That would include shipping, CHEAP heatsinks (~10 ea), cheap PSUs (~30 ea) and PCIe cables since most 30-dollar PSUs have maybe one PCIe connector.  So for about 1000-2000 USD you could add anywhere from 1.5-2.5 TH/s in mining power.  It's not a bad deal.  My problem is coming up with that extra money to throw at this.  Not to mention how I would host upwards of 5kW and associated heat.  Especially here in the southern U.S.  It's too damn hot.

Bobsag, any ideas if you would be able to offer hosting packages for purchase if we needed some of our boards hosted?
