I think I may have stumbled on a workaround for the synchronizing issue some of you may still be experiencing. Once you've rescanned your wallet and everything appears functional, if this issue pops up again simply exit the wallet and rerun the application. So far both my wallets appear stable after doing this. Still a bug, but maybe this will help diagnose the problem.

Ah, that's makes sense, thanks Corather... but it begs the question, why aren't staking transactions treated like normal transactions in that overview? Wouldn't it make sense to show them there as well?
I think because they become confirmed through a different mechanism. The result is the same. |

|

Just checking: is everyone else's 'Unconfirmed' total showing zero on the overview page? I've got plenty of unconfirmed payments so it looks like this may not be populating correctly?
The Unconfirmed column refers to coins received by the wallet through a send action from another wallet before any blocks are generated to confirm the transaction. It doesn't refer to staking payments. |

whats the correct block number is it 837950
Mine synced ok this morning and then now showing 857 blocks remaining
I think steve is going to have to release another update... This also happened to me when i deleted peers.dat. I have since recovered the new peers.dat file and replaced it with the old one and it works again. So I guess it's still trying to connect you to ''bad peers'' It seems to happen when there's the slightest disruption in your local network also. Alright I hadn't noticed! it hasn't tried to load the other chain since several days now  I had this issue back on 2.02 I think, but I guess I just got lucky that i stayed on the main chain and my peers.dat didn't get any bad peers. Does staking still work for you guys or is it constantly trying to sync? It's still having a bit of trouble. If I can keep a stable connection it works well, otherwise it can get stuck in an endless syncing cycle. Reloading the wallet seems to fix the trouble until my connection gets the hiccups. My network isn't 100% stable, cheap cables, heh. |

I have 2. Lag has something to do with it. The faster you can send your result of a solved block to the network, the more likely your solve will voted in by consensus. edit: correction I have several. |

I noticed on windows 7 in the block explorer the Back, Home, and Forward buttons are not functional, however in windows XP they function perfectly.

Hi, i am on the right chain (2.0.7) , but still have some conflicted interest sometimes. staking , and same block on wallet & explorer block 837819. http://www.hapshack.com/?v=TX3m8.jpgI don't know why it happens again It's just like mining, sometimes you generate an orphan. It's normal. |

To those running windows xp. One of my machines has win xp pro running the wallet. I couldn't get more than 1 connection at any given time to peers. I had to go into windows firewall and add the port exceptions for both UDP/TCP. I was then able to connect to more peers.

Both wallets now on 837,050 as of now.

Looks like one of my wallets hit the wrong chain also, but one of them is on the correct one. Taking measures now.

Can we take a moment and look at how Solarcoin has changed over time. Originally there was supposed to be 100 million SLR mined through proof of work, but the community came together and the code was changed to eventually knock the block reward down to 0.5 SLR to minimize inflation. The code was well written and performed as expected. Now here comes VeriCoin's PoST expertly customized and implemented to reduce the carbon footprint of Solarcoin even further. Further reduce inflation, and allow the network to be secured through minimal power consumption.
Even those who were a bit critical were very helpful and reasonable. Great leadership, great community, great concept. I have every confidence Solarcoin will complete its mission thanks to everyone who's been involved.

Looks like Bittrex's SLR wallet is back up. |

All,
There's a final release out, version 2.0.7. Another maintenance release to address the blockchain explorer issue. Turns out the issue was that a full sync needed to be done. I have generated a new bootstrap and would advise everyone to run File->Reload Blockchain. Though it only affects the RPC command gettransaction, the txn indexes are correct in the new bootstrap. You may also opt to do a full sync yourself.
Current height is 836335 and the train is rolling along quite nicely.
Current inflation is at 1.24%.
-Steve
Thank you for all your hard work Steve. You are a steely eyed missile man. |

Question:
What happens, when all available Spendable balances in all currently available (online) wallets go to Staking, and there are ~150-200 confirmations left before the Interest awards begin getting confirmed and coins released from Staking back to Spendable? With no Spendable left, who finds next block?
My understanding of how PoST works might not be right, but aren't the staked coins the ones doing the work? If so, it doesn't matter how many coins are in Spendable, as these are doing nothing and not contributing towards finding the next block. That would have been my understanding, too, but it seems it's not like that - at first you have no staked coins, THEN you find a block, THEN coins go to Staking. With Spendable going down, you find a block less often. Then Spendable goes to ~0 and you find no more blocks. Didn't you notice that? That was my understanding also TooQik, but wouldn't be the first time I was wrong... Yes, I've noticed that too but thought it was simply how the GUI was updating the counts. I've only earned one lot of interest (0.09...woohoo) and only after finding that block did my wallet update the Staking count but it did not reduce the Spendable count. Of my original 54,000 coins it now shows 54,000 as Spendable, 1,000 as Staked and a Total of 55,000. Obviously this is not correct as it hasn't taken the 1,000 Staked coins out of the Spendable amount. You should have a few backups of your wallet.dat. I'd rename your current wallet to something like "wallet(test).dat" and copying over one of your backups. I'd like to see the outcome. Sorry for the delayed reply corather. I didn't actually have a copy of wallet.dat handy at work, so I just stopped the wallet on my work PC and restarted the wallet on my laptop at home. The laptop wallet shows the correct amounts with 53,000 as Spendable, 1,000 as Staked and a Total of 54,000. This obviously isn't the same as the test you suggested, so I'll take a copy of my wallet.dat from my laptop into work on Monday, copy over the dat file and see if the work PC wallet displays the same figures or not and post the result here. That should work, keep copies of everything renaming the ones you aren't using also just in case. Always make multiple backups of your wallet files. If they're lost the only way to recover them is if you generated a private key while you have them. |

That was my understanding also TooQik, but wouldn't be the first time I was wrong... On both machines, I have uninstalled the Solarcoin software, deleted the Solarcoin directory in AppData, installed 2.0.5... and I'm getting absolutely nothing in terms of interest on either wallet. The laptop wallet with 56,000 very old coins has some random 1059 coins staking, with the rest in spendable; the PC wallet with 55,000 'new' coins (transferred a week ago) has all coins in staking, but is generating no interest. Certainly not getting them every couple of minutes like vipgelsi!  Despite working with much smaller amounts I would have expected to see SOMETHING coming in. Anyone have any thoughts? And again, if it's just the dumb random luck similar to mining, I'll (grudgingly) accept that. But as with everyone else here, I am trying to support the blockchain... if my stake doesn't do that I may as well shut down my machines to save power. It can take days (literally) to generate a staking event. It took me weeks to get even the tiniest payout in my Arch wallet. My smaller main wallet for solarcoin recently generated a second block, but it took over 48 hours. The longer you have it open, the better it works, especially with post. |

If all goes well, confirmations should eventually be brought down to a reasonable number. That should reduce the possibility of that happening quite significantly. But my question is who confirms next block? May be it's the reverse - confirmations should be initially brought down to a reasonable number, so that all goes well with any number of wallets? edit: in PoW, when there are no hashes, difficulty goes down so that tiniest of hashpower will find a block and move the blockchain. If the required confirms are too high in the beginning it can be adjusted. Usually staking wallets have a maximum of 6 confirms for every stake found. Generally they don't get stuck as long as there's even the smallest number of participants. 501 confirms was chosen in the beginning to make sure things are running smoothly. The wallet is still being monitored closely. |
