Links to download the new Electra QT wallets (v 1.30 ) have been added to the OP and to the Electra website. Upgrading to this version is a top prority for all Electra users. Credit for this version goes to the developers of Mycellium and Ruru, development coordinator of Electra.

You can view changes here:
https://github.com/Electra-project/electra/commits/master
I can't get the new wallet to ever sync.  Active connections are: 0.

Here are some observations:

I can tell it reads the old wallet.dat just fine since the recent "transactions" appear in the wallet, but with zero confirmations.

I tried adding in the config file I found here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yPBzR9LF3Z6y7QggHo8D6u5qKVUO7CfP/view

and here:
https://electraexplorer.com/status

... but when I start up the wallet, that file gets re-written with a shorter addnode list.
It gets re-written whenever the wallet is restarted ... so there seems to be no way to hold any new addnodes.

While hovering over the little globe, I can see that there are zero active connections, but on one occasion I did see it change to a "1" active connection for a split second, then it went back to zero.

I can ping some of the addnodes on the list (like: 137.74.196.251) and they give a reply.  So, my PC is connecting.

The machine is running win7 32-bit.  
The processes that are running are:
electrad-win32-ia32.exe, and Electra Desktop.exe (three of these)

... but the wallet remains with zero active connections, and therefore no sync.

(the old wallet had been working fine for me, up until a few blocks ago)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/433313537834614805/497319274117857291/peers.dat

Restart wallet!

Here was an original post I had made, which I thought was a worthy topic, but I didn't get any responses and only a few reads.  Maybe I can get merit?

4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / price spike of January 2018 on: January 31, 2018, 09:59:58 AM
So I haven't found anyone's remarks on this most recent spike in prices.  My question is:  does anyone one have any idea as to what may have caused the price spike in the alt-coins for these first two weeks of 2018??

It happened for most, if not all of the alt-coins I own (except for bitcoin of course), plus I looked up others that I don't own and found the same spike.

So, wth happened?  Was it the end of the year buying spree over in China?  Did the big banks decide to start buying up every alt-coin?  Did some big bitcoin whale decide to diversify?  Was it another outrageous bet made by McAfee?

Does anyone else find it odd that there is no wallet for this coin?  Maybe its a secret wallet?
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANNOUNCE] paccoin a new SHA256D coin is being introduced on: October 28, 2017, 07:15:47 AM
Is there an explorer for this coin?

What is its current circulation? (is it really at 100 trillion, or is that just its final circulation?)

If somebody send Btx to my encrypted wallet, can i decrypt the wallet after 12 hours for example and to receive these coins with no problems, i mean is there some period after which the transaction will be cancelled if we dont decrypt the wallet?
there is no relation between encrypted wallet and receiving coins.
even if you don't sync your wallet, your address would still receive coins just fine no matter what
just that when you're not synced you won't see it in your wallet (but it's there)
and you have to decrypt your wallet for awhile to be able to send out coins
I never encrypt my wallet, so I'm not 100% sure about decrypt before sending coins
I'd always recommend encrypting the wallet to avoid getting your coins accidentally stolen.  Tongue

If the wallet is encrypted then you'll need to enter the password to send coins out of the wallet.

I'm not sure that there is any feature that allows anyone to decrypt a wallet once its been encrypted (maybe you meant something different?).
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [B3]B3Coin Hybrid POW/POS [Scrypt] - ANTI-INSTAMINE, NO PREMINE, NO ICO, NO IPO on: October 25, 2017, 04:29:10 AM
makes no sense
I'm waiting almost a month already with a 15k stake.

this wallet with less than 5x the amount of coins I have staked before.
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/b3/address.dws?SjBEKeFAARGVoXPRk9iLJQhNf2wMru938Q.htm

on the other hand, giant wallets stake daily and gets all the compound effect...

is there anything possible to do to stake faster?
changing for the new wallet would change anything?
I hit a stake already but only one...

Staking is a lottery, and with 15k today there is almost no chance against big wallets. You may consider joining the staking pool found in Discord channel.
So, what might be a decent amount to have for solo staking?
