i handed the solution to you on a golden platter. Upgrade arg to a newer version of the btc/ltc codebase supporting leveldb and then the issue will be fixed

Update:

In the Argentum Data Dir:

Create a file called "DB_CONFIG"
In this file place the following:
Code:
set_lk_max_locks 537000
set_lk_max_objects  537000

Once saved, Delete and resync the arg blockchain after backup the wallet.dat
You should now be good to go

Thanks for posting back. Looks like it's because 4.8 version libs were used.

Nope, 5.3.

The error is due to berkerly db being used which has a restriction called "locks". The block where clients forked meant that there wernt enough locks for the block to be processed therefore leading to the fork. By switching to leveldb this scenario could be avoided in the future.

PS. for anyone doubting me. Look into the bitcoin fork between v0.7 bdb clients and v0.8 level db clients.

So to be clear, EVERYONE running an Argentum client is going to experience this issue, unless they explicitly configure the DB_CONFIG parameters that Ahmed was kind enough to post.  This means the wallet will be unusable for anyone who simply downloads the client from the website and has never heard of Bitcointalk.

Baritus, fix this, kill ARG, or hand it over to someone else.

Maybe not at this block but some time in the future surely. 1 Big Block and boom it will stick again. As you said some people may not even be able to sync up.

What is the correct github repository? I'm using https://github.com/ahmedbodi/bytecoin right now, but no block in 5 hours...

that is the correct repo. but diff is insaene

Is there any ongoing development with this coin or is it a dying rare coin? Been a holder since last year, and want to keep holding but seems like there is no active community?

The one functioning pool I was at for what ever reason will no longing load. I've tried different browsers and no luck. I like this coin, so I hope it doesn't die out.

that isnt my pool is it?

it's a multipool taking advantage of the retargeting system, this kind of thing can be done on any coin in existence be it scrypt or any other pow algo if the given difficulty is low enough.

Issue here is not retargeting but block reorganization. This needs to be fixed ASAP!! as in NOW. Otherwise we might see 200 or less satoshi/MYR before Monday!!

Welcome to my ignore list. You dont know what you're talking about. There is no issue at all.

Any way the block explorer output can be updated? Keep getting this error when trying to check an address (MREBM2LWmmxxAF1vYyfoEcpQhZjJ5fQpAQ)...



Its updated it just means theres so many transactions itd be a drain to show

hashco.ws i think is guilty. I spoke to nearmiss recently where he asked me if my stratum works with myriadcoin on scrypt.

I was stating for the facts as i know as usual primer~ will jump on saying it is.

Ahh. I have him on ignore so I guess I don't know what he might be saying about it.

So. Coin switching pool?

Ahh yes...

and is the oldest and furthest along in development.

Shills with zero knowledge, Cryptonote has been development since 2012 and is the most advanced anon protocol, think Monero

CryptoNote is an edge case no one knew about it here till a few months ago. AnonCoin is the 1st Bitcoin Like cryptocoin which is in development to be anonymous

Guys, i've just watched at blockchain and saw some strange things.
There are a lot of sequences, where a lot of blocks are generated almost simultanously by one algo. And i don't know to think Huh You have to check, is it a problem with diffuculty adjusting, or just some suspicious fraud?

For example here (~20 blocks  instead of  1 by Scrypt in 2:30 minutes !!!)
Difficulty~20-30 is related to Scrypt

259242   2014-05-22 22:38:21   29.157

it's not a doublespend attack because there are few to no transactions in the blocks. this is a reorganization for sure. I'll ask the dev to look it up but they're common and all algos have them from time to time.

Actually seems to happen rather frequently?

A double spend is when inputs which have already spent are respent. So whoever that is spreading that misinformation needs to stop. That isnt what has happened. What has happened is the scrypt difficulty is so low that a person/group of people have been able to completely rape the diff. However you can see that every 2nd block it has retargeted and eventually will increase quite a bit. Next time the diff falls they'll do the same

Ahmed

Nobody is spreading misinformation. I haven't seen one person state this was a double spend.

A double spend is when inputs which have already spent are respent. So whoever that is spreading that misinformation needs to stop. That isnt what has happened. What has happened is the scrypt difficulty is so low that a person/group of people have been able to completely rape the diff. However you can see that every 2nd block it has retargeted and eventually will increase quite a bit. Next time the diff falls they'll do the same

blockchain stuck at 426085

Block: 426147

I am assuming there was a fork of some type and you just need to connect to the dominant one.

nope. BDB ran out of locks. cryptopools has been patched with a workaround.

okay, here's a list of coins generated via coingen, as maintained automatically by the coingen site.  I haven't listed all of these because with a lot of them there's no evidence that they even launched. 

http://coingen.bluematt.me/status.html

Gamecoin, Cloudcoin, Doubloon, Onecoin, and Americancoin have definitely  been generated by coingen.

If there've been multiple coins by those names, then certainly the fact that at least one of them was a coingen coin is an important part of the history, and may be one of the reasons why it's dead.  And honestly it doesn't matter which of them was the original; this thread is only about which one is dead.

Androidtokens, though was definitely my mistake; the coingen coin was 'androin' and I misread it.  Thanks for the info.

Regarding Bottlecaps and EZcoin, please provide a source for your information and I'll be happy to correct the list.  I observed that they've been delisted from coinmarketcap at http://coinmarketcap.com/all.html - where else should I be looking? 



Sorry sir but they were not produced by coingen. They were done by hand using shakezula's cloning guide. We can battle it out all you want but the fact stands
