My wallet is up to 11 active connections and still stuck on block zero. I've worked with a lot of QT wallets but this is a new wrinkle for me. What do I do?

I'm having wallet issues now too. I got beyond the point you did, FuzzyBear, but got stuck further down--block 36999 or something. So I tried to manually download receiver 91 (replaced what was in my folder with one I downloaded from the direct download site (only changed to be receiver 91). The next time I ran my wallet, I got the "failed to connect to best block" error message. So I thought, great, I've corrupted the block chain. I deleted all but wallet.dat and tried again. It won't get past block zero now. I tried to shut down wallet and restart. That gave me the failed to connect error message again. Deleted everything, trying again, stuck on block zero (for now). I'm going to walk away and come back (and if it starts syncing I'll post an update). If it stays stuck on block zero, what are the steps I can take to get my wallet working again?
Edit: It's also stuck on only one active connection to network.
Edit: I restored the original peers file to see if that would help. My wallet now has 2 active connections and is still stuck on block zero. I'm running out of ideas. Please help.
Edit: 4 active connections now. still stuck on block 0. Maybe it's just slow?

This is regrettable, but consumer options will slowly but surely force the larger banks to play ball. I think those banks that deny service to crypto companies are just giving up their business to those that will. I recently set up a business entity around my crypto investments and one bank--a well known one that we'd used personally--flat out refused to open up a business account for that entity. So off I went to another bank (also very prominent, but not one we'd used personally) and I've been very happy with them ever since. I'm not sure what the upside was for the bank that refused. It's not like they were going to bail me out if I made a bad trade and lost money. |

That's a huge and well-written article Fernanda. It's cool to see connections being made with other groups of people that are also working to change the world. Well done!
Thank you TeeGee! It was a really fun writing project. I'm super excited to know about iBuild and Nancy Welsh was a real pleasure to interview. |

This is the best case for now. Hopefully you can just export and re-import them.
That is terrible that they cancel orders on people. The worst thing would be to expect an order you had sitting was executed and then find out it was canceled on you. That may be why they haven't kept their top position as a dominant exchange.
It might take a bit more than that because the bots are still showing in the program as "true" and there may still be an artifact of them on Bittrex, so I may need to cancel them first, but not sure. I was going to try to just import first and then try other things if that doesn't work. This reminds me that once the bot program allows for reinstating of canceled bots, then it would be just a matter of clicking through each one to redo it in the case of cancellation for any reason. Yeah, I agree with you that it's bad that Bittrex cancels people's orders. I think they should just invest in whatever bandwidth they need to be able to hold all the orders including the truly unrealistic ones. I'm really looking forward to when DNotes Global gets an exchange up and running! I would have considered Bittrex to be the best exchange... until I began my automated trading adventures. I may check out a different one once the bot program adds support for other exchanges. |

Might have been canceled for some other reason?
Live test was successful on my end replaced all my orders a few days ago. On Feb 27th.
Possibly something to do with the scheduled maintenance? I'll add them back in I guess... |

I spoke too soon. Bittrex canceled a bunch of my unfulfilled orders today and the bot is not replacing them, so there seems to be something that overrides the bot order replacement activity. It's frustrating. The canceled orders are around 28 days old and hadn't filled during that time.

Not that, DevCoin needs to be revitalized! Sure, now that we have a few exchanges again to finally trade DevCoin we're going in the right direction, however we need to focus on getting more attention on the coin itself. I'm not even sure if we're accepting more writers into DevToMe as I had convinced friends to write but they have told me they are unable to accept members due to inactivity of some registration admins.
We have three active signup admins--myself, FuzzyBear and Papacrush. Signups are initiated by direct messaging one of us (based on what your user ID will start with): A - H, then wiser is the signup admin I - Q, then Papacrush is the signup admin R - Z, then FuzzyBear is the signup admin It looks like the instructions on the devtome need to be updated. |

Here's a little quirk I noticed in how the trading bot is interacting with Bittrex. So I created a ridiculous sell order (2 DMD for 1 BTC each) to use as a placeholder. I used the bot to place this order and had an equally ridiculous buy order (since you need a pair). I created that order on February 2nd, and I discovered yesterday that Bittrex had canceled the order and rendered those two DMD available. But the way I discovered it was that I was looking at my fulfilled orders on the bot program and it was showing that particular sell order as a fulfilled order. Then when I went to check it on Bittrex, I discovered it was canceled on their end. It turns out that same order is also listed in the canceled orders section of the bot program. But anyway, I thought it was a bit troubling that it would show up as a fulfilled order when it was indeed canceled.
But the other issue is that even though 28 days hadn't gone by, and the bot is supposed to automatically replace orders every two weeks, Bittrex still found that particular order and canceled it. I'm guessing Bittrex also has an algorithm that hunts down and kills orders that are placed totally out of the normal price range, but not sure exactly how that works. The only reason I had placed that order was as a placeholder--I sometimes do that as a crude way to keep funds separate, as well as to maintain a small balance of coins I use a lot so they'll always be visible in my Bittrex wallets even when I have "hide zero balances" checked. For the most part this won't affect my normal automated trading, but thought that would be something you should be aware of. I do have standing orders that are substantially above or below the current market price because I expect the market to move around and want to be ready with my bots when it does. I'm really hoping that the replacing the orders every two weeks will keep those orders alive on Bittrex for as long as I want them there.
Oh, you had the bot create the orders hoping the bot would keep the order alive regardless of the bittrex rule to cancel orders that have remained unfulfilled for more than 28 days? Then I guess bittrex didn't like the order, because it wasn't close enough to a real trading range and canceled it anyway? That part seems strange, I can't find any documentation that they would do that or what the exact parameters would be. Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, that was my thinking. If I used the bot to create the order, then maybe the bot would keep it alive for as long as I needed the placeholder value  I vaguely remember a while back getting a communication that Bittrex was going to be canceling orders that it considers to be out of range--it was a warning of a new policy and it was several years ago. It was supposed to free up server bandwidth, etc. I'll look through my email and see if I can find it. I haven't seen any documentation on Bittrex' site explaining that policy (but I haven't looked either), but I do have very recent experience with Bittrex deleting my "out of range" orders within days. I do know the policy of deleting orders after 28 days is on their site because I read it after a bunch of my bot orders had gotten canceled (before you set up the bot to autorenew orders every two weeks). I can say that whatever you're doing to keep orders alive longer than 28 days is working for me. I just now discovered an old bot I'd created on January 24th, which is still standing today despite the market having dropped well below it (I missed it when I was canceling those now-too-high bots). |

It's not my area of expertise, so I can only comment with opinion based on limited knowledge, experience, and understanding. We've been watching how the markets work and react for some time, and this article does add some context to ideas I've been formulating. That's not an endorsement to the validity of the concepts in the article in any way, just some lines of thought run parallel. The first thing I would like to address, if we operate from the assumption that FUD was created with intention to drag down prices, we also have to acknowledge that this kind of article could be the antithesis of FUD with intentions of the opposite effect. The second is that, by observation, it seems that price drag / accumulation / and other forms of this cartel concept seem fairly logical and appear to be regularly used. The forces at play seem to lean in favor of drag, based on my observations. However, the results don't necessarily prove that these things are the cause. Ultimately, we can account for all of these factors and try to guess what has happened and what is going to happen, but at the end of the day I believe what will prevail is the underlying value in what is behind the investment. Hopefully that makes sense. Relating that to DNotes, it doesn't matter what has or will happen, what matters is will it become an unstoppable force. My answer is, without a doubt... Due to the underlying strategy, the people behind it and supporting it, the drive and determination to create something amazing and for the right reasons. I hope that helps you to come the conclusions you were looking for. This is a very well written and balanced view of the possibilities raised in the linked article. It's so good, in fact, that I suggest it could be expanded into an opinion piece for DCEBrief with plenty of support from examples of your observations. And I agree with the main point, which is that the way to overcome even the *possibility* of a cartel is you develop a product that is so good and so solid and so well received that the sheer volume of people using it normally is enough to overcome any kind of monkey business. The main reason it's so easy to manipulate cryptocurrency prices is because so far they are still mostly a speculative vehicle. Once they become more than that and used as a part of everyday financial life, then any cartel would *also* have to manipulate all the decisions of ordinary people all over the world to buy and use them. So, even if everything in that cartel article is true (and I concede that possibility), the way to overcome it is not to try to learn *their* strategy and try to make countermoves. It is to develop a product that just by being an awesome product will render that sort of control impossible. Thankfully DNotes is already 5 years into this journey. Appreciate it wiser! DNotes path to becoming an unstoppable force and the implications of that would make for a great article. Probably not as much focus on individual market manipulation theories, but acknowledging the consequences of market manipulation and its tendency to bring the markets down. Then mention why we believe having a model where the company, as a party with significant self interest in the currency and its ecosystem, is essential in making DNotes an unstoppable force. Could be a tough article, but may be worth it. That's exactly how I'd angle it. Though it may need some mention you absolutely don't want to focus on the negative (cartels, market manipulation, etc.) even if all of it and more is true. I've found that even when true, focusing on the negative is actually very destructive to one's own aims. Far better to focus on our overall goals with DNotes and let those stand on their own. |

I thought I'd give a little shout out for the DNotes Trading bot. I've been using it primarily on the BTC-XEM market on Bittrex, and I think over the past month I've made around $30 (with around $1,000 in play), just in terms of BTC gained, plus I've also gained some additional XEM for my collection. Testing and now using the DNotes Trading bot is my very first experience with automated trading, so it's been a learning process for me. But even as a novice I'm making money with the bot, which means you don't have to be a professional trader. It's really straightforward to use and run. So, if you'd like to try your hand at automated trading, I can't recommend the DNotes trading bot enough.
Thank you so very much, wiser. That is very good to know. It may be a great idea to share an article about DNotes trading bot on HERo. We love to introduce DNotes to our audience in a gentle way. Some have already expressed an interest to know more about our other projects. HERo is succeeding beyond expectations. I have mentioned various times in the past that at the right time, we will start scaling globally. HERo is our first business unit being put to test. It is doing amazingly well by all counts. I hope DNotes' stakeholders can understand the significance and jump in to help us get the message out. Everyone should sign up to receive our newsletter: https://nextgenhero.io/newsletter/newsletter/I'd be happy to put together a story about the trading bot for HERo. It will have to go into the queue, though, as I'm already working on two other HERo writing projects But I have a pretty good idea of a good angle for it... |

It's worked OK for me. Deposits and withdrawals seem to work OK. Test with smaller amount first and don't leave large amounts of funds on it until you get more confident, and even then, only as needed to trade. |

Interesting news, Google+ is beginning to shut down services soon. The circles and groups were a good idea but they couldn't gain traction. There was little incentive to use the platform, and I believe that was their biggest problem.
That's going to be a bummer for my kids, actually (the older ones). They use that platform to keep in touch with various friends, and I've felt it was better for them to use than Facebook probably because of the same reasons it didn't gain traction, and possibly the fact that it didn't gain traction. Google+ never seemed to have the cyberbullying and other issues that have plagued other social networking sites that kids frequent. If they had the ability to shut those things down, immediately, nip them in the bud (if their services got more popular), they could market that heavily and possibly turn this trend around for them. |

Upgrade AvailableDownload: https://dnotescoin.com/Release_02012019__1_19.zipUpgrade Instructions - Download the above zip file. Unzip the files to a folder. Close the older version of the trading bot if it was open. Double click DNotes.TradingBot.exe. Changes: -Bittrex orders are now replaced every two weeks (Bittrex automatically cancels orders older than 28 days) -Added minimize button AWESOME! It's great to be able to minimize it, and the Bittrex auto-cancel was turning out to be a royal pain. So glad you found a good workaround! |

Annoying and frustrating as it was at the time, in retrospect maybe it was a blessing that our listing there ended up getting canceled. Hack after hack in a few weeks. What really happened with Cryptopia exchange behind the scene? Has the exchange really made exit scam? Miners or known mining pools still kept deposting their ETH to Cryptopia hacked wallet. Additionally, the reasons of the hack two weeks ago has still been underinvestigation by police. |
