Ok/ Now i know Wallet adress/ Wallet Password/ Wallet seeds/ But i not know where mine correct file wallet.db/ What can i do with it?

FYI - I tried to withdraw some of my DERO from Stocks.Exchange yesterday and it didn't show up after more than 24 hours. I just checked the status on s.e and was incredibly annoyed to see it was still marked as "unconfirmed" despite that I had to both enter the 2FA code (expected) and then also confirm the withdrawal via an email (unexpected, and rather annoying as it just adds friction to the process).

I'm really not sure what else I could do to ram it through those idiots heads that, yes, I really want to withdraw my coins, but until I figure it out I would say withdrawls from s.e. is broken again, but in a new and exciting way compared to previous times.

Hi friends! I need your help! I would like to send some Dero coins from wallet to account on stocks.echange. I used the old wallet, it needs paymentID but my account on stocks.exchange does not have paymentID.

Ah, yes... you make a compelling argument here; so much so that it has persuaded me to go back to my earlier position which is to let CaptDero and friends keep doing whatever it is they are doing. In the end, if you believe in the merit of a project you have to trust the course the devs are taking, even if - from an outsider's perspective - it seems to be counterproductive or even short-term injurious.

I think that you and I are generally of a like mind, not just where DERO is concerned but also regarding other projects in which we have a mutual interest, but I don't agree with you 100% on this one.

In real life, something that I'm regularly faced with is stress testing applications, the web server stacks that serve them, and the hardware that it all runs on. One of the most difficult things to come up with is "actual usage" tests (rather than something as simplistic as ApacheBench or similar) that simulate real world usage patterns. Part of the reason that it's so difficult is because there's nothing even close to a standard usage pattern when hosting mixed-application websites belonging to hundreds of different people and with wildly varying traffic patterns, application configurations, resource requirements etc.

One can easily see where the emergence of ASICs and the sudden surge in attacks and the network hash rate has dropped a rather useful "real world" stress test right into the DERO developers' laps. Consider what other projects have done. ITNS was attacked and essentially went offline while a hardfork was implemented and the chain rolled back. XVG was attacked and basically exposed the absolute incompetence of the developers who had no idea how to respond. There are other examples I'm sure, but those are the two that I'm most familiar with.

Imagine that ITNS was more mature and in heavy worldwide usage. Can you picture the sheer chaos caused by a hardfork and roll back of the chain? Even if the usage was related to its primary function (a mechanism for VPN services) and not more widespread commerce, that would mean that payments to providers would essentially be undone for the entire duration of the roll back, and that the VPN services that people had come to rely on were not available to them. Would ITNS be trusted again in such a scenario, even after the fix had been implemented? Maybe. Maybe not. There would be an awful lot of VPN service providers who would be mightily pissed, and rightly so.

DERO, as you rightly said, doesn't currently have an actual use case. There are no end-users to inconvenience, no commercial transactions to be interrupted or rolled back. It's a new blockchain technology in its infancy, and the only people being inconvenienced are GPU and CPU miners. Does the current surge in the network hash rate suck for them in the short term? Sure. Though it's really not that hard to mine something else and exchange it for DERO at a rate far higher than can be obtained by just mining DERO. Example: I can mine less than 3 DERO per day with my measly 10KH/s, but I can mine XMR and buy more than 20 DERO per day. That's not far off what I was mining before the ASIC invasion.

The DERO developers however are getting that real life stress test that I talked about earlier, and they're getting it for free. The network has been attacked, the attacks have failed. The hash rate is 10x what it was pre-ASICs and yet everything continues to run smoothly. Heck, just look at the number of Alpha releases that came one after the other in response to the attacks and network surge. The devs were clearly learning, and learning fast, not just from what was happening to DERO but to other projects too. You simply cannot buy that kind of data about how a blockchain will respond to suddenly changing conditions and / or attacks of various amplitudes.

With that in mind, I'm not at all convinced that an immediate hard fork to ward off the evil ASICs is (or was) necessarily in the best long term interests of the DERO project, its supporters, and its investors. Nothing is learned that way. And when new ASICs come out that can mine v7, Lite, Heavy etc the projects that swept network / security issues under the rug with a simple algo change will find themselves in the same situation again.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the DERO devs should be applauded, not castigated, for taking this free-of-charge real world stress test, patiently learning lessons from it and applying them to the underlying blockchain technology, and THEN eventually making a switch to a different algo once they've learned all that they can. In doing so, they're showing the kind of foresight and discipline that we should all want in the devs of a project that we hope will flourish into something massive.

Short term pain for long term gains. I can live with that.

P.S. Wanted to add some quick math since I know you love it as much as I do. Pre-ASICs my 10KH/s was mining ~25-30 DERO per day, and by mining XMR then exchanging it for DERO I can currently buy ~20 DERO per day. Worst case scenario, it's costing me 10 DERO per day. Let's say that DERO doesn't implement a new algo for 2 months - 60 days. The total cost to me is 600 DERO, or at the current price about $540. Will I trade that for all of the lessons that are being learned and put into practice by the devs? Every day, and twice on Sundays. If DERO takes off as we all hope it will, it's well worth that to me to avoid the pains that the ETH network experienced.

The problem you might find at Southxchange is order fills - could be waiting a while, but I dunno.

get SEED in old wallet =>
restor in new

I did it myself yesterday. It was necessary to quickly shift the balance to a new wallet.

CaptDERO --Serena--
can I change my wallet to another on the pool? Are there such settings for users? Or make a payment earlier than 2 dero?
I can not use my old address, a USB flash drive with keys my wife took to print photos ...

I am having some issues with the wallet.  First attempt switching over to new Golang wallet.  The daemon is synced (though with warning messages about TX rejected due to low fees - I assume I can ignore these messages?) but the wallet is unable to sync and just crashes after a partial sync with partial balance at 33246/62895:

unexpected fault address 0x38c1040

fatal error: fault
[signal 0xc0000005 code=0x0 addr=0x38c1040 pc=0x6a67a8]

followed by a bunch of stuff I can copy and paste into a PM if necessary.

I noticed my wallet isn't syncing. I did new git clone, compiled, removed old lmdb and ran the daemon
but it's stack here, never starts the sync:


I set log level to 2 and see:

Should I use some other(which one?) peers?

Gotcha, and I left you my last sendable merit for your previous answer. May you and I both make it to Full Member before the turn of the next decade! 

Digging your issue.

One last question despite it probably being a moot one: does the wallet have to remain open for the next 10 blocks for the balance to unlock, or do 10 more blocks merely have to be found? I ask because I only open my non-staking wallets once or twice per day to update balances then leave them closed the rest of the time and this morning when I tried Serena's suggestion the same split between locked and unlocked balance was present, despite that >100 blocks had been found since I last opened the wallet.

I tried running derod-windows-amd64.exe. It ran well until block 59960 and now fails with:


That same message repeats over and over.

Did my db get corrupted? Should I start from scratch?

I now run the latest version of derod*(2018-04-14 12:41) and was running the very previous one in the beginning.

Huh, that worked... but next I have to ask why it worked, and what happened in the first place?

Meanwhile, thanks, as always, for your tireless efforts and help here!

dero dev, bootstrap please I have slow connection to sync.
