Thank you for the explanation. That's what i was waiting for instead of some newbie poster just saying "Hey, i got you a new wallet. Please start using it.".

Hello guys, it's Xanur here from the worldcoin global forum and discord.
I'm not good with words and english is not my first language so I will get to the point.
A lot has happened the last couple of years in the history of Worldcoin. We have had our ups and downs (mostly). After the Scharmbeck incident/scam or whatever you want to call it, we lost most of our community members. Some community members tried to pick it up and continue the further development of Worldcoin.
First the Worldcoin Alliance was formed. I don't know the details, but most of the board members disappeared just like the first team. Thankfully Berzeck picked up the project and continued the development of the Worldcoin wallet. As most of you know, Berzeck stepped down in 2017 because of issues with a Chinese group of people.
Berzeck left the Worldcoin protocol mostly untouched, because of disagreement within the community. Because of this the asics/multipools hit us hard and peaks in network difficulty led to an unstable network, too fast or too slow blocktimes etc. Alferz from the Worldcoin Global forum came up with the proposal to fork Worldcoin and use the CryptoNight PoW algorithm as a (temporary) solution. I support this as a temporary solution and decided to work on this as of september.
I want to hear what the community thinks about this, and if there is support from within the community. Keep in mind this is a temporary solution and after the fork is done, I want to come up with a longterm plan for further development.
I am aiming for a fork Q4 this year. However my resources (mostly time) is also limited. Nevertheless development will continue on.
Sound great Xanur. If there are any Devs who want to help, or anyone who is interested in joining the worldcoin community discussions on discord, please join. https://discord.gg/Hy6a3sc Have you, worldcoindeveloper, contacted other WDC devs in that discord channel? Have you had any discussions with them? The beauty of cryptocurrencies is that you don't need to trust anyone. You can download the source code and build it yourself! (Though I'll admit it's a pain in the ass, I've only got the linux version of the wallet compiling right now).
You absolutely need to trust a developer of the wallet. Otherwise wallet user could lose all their coins and it might cause a fork which would destroy WDC. You appeared here out of nowhere and said you alone will make a new wdc wallet and then few days later it's done. Then you expect that everyone will just install your wallet without any information about what is done to it and why the new wallet was needed? Then there is this other user who just "added seednodes" to the latest old style wallet instead of just listing the nodes that users can add with addnode console command and then expect that others will install his new wallet. That is ridiculous.

I don't trust your "new" wallet, Olker1. You could have added some hidden backdoors that steal user's wallet or steals all their WDC. Hello guys, it's Xanur here from the worldcoin global forum and discord.

This newbie worldcoindeveloper seems very much fake. Don't believe him/her. When Worldcoin starts to get stronger, scared little trolls and scammers crawl out from the gutter wanting to destroy it.

Can someone explain why Embercoin wallet uses huge amounts of network traffic? It has been over 40GB in 24 hours. My guess is that it has something to do with the debuglog getting filled with ORPHAN BLOCK notifications. Size of that debuglog grows very fast.

I updated as soon as the link for new wallet was posted here. I still have over 2 million THC out of sync. That makes me more than little pissed.  My wallets last block is Block 1524569 April 8 05:58:32 I transferred those coins to my wallet 4-6 months ago.

im still getting the db error time to time, what im doing wrong? im on the latest wallet and i re-download the enteire blockchain few days ago...
Start the wallet with "-maxconnection=10". You can use bigger connection limit if you want. Just check with "getpeerinfo" console command that all of those connections are version 2.0.2. Old version of wallets will cause that database exception to happen. Use "repairwallet" console command to fix failed staking caused by that db error.

I have found better alternative solution for the database exception bug than just IP banning.
I now start the wallet with "-maxconnection=10". That will limit connections that the wallet accepts so when all of those 10 connections are version 2.0.2, old version of wallets can't connect and that database exception doesn't happen.
You really should disconnect old incompatible versions after hard fork. Some people are lazy, some lack the needed skills to update their wallet and some trolls just want to cause problems with old wallets. I saw few version 1.0.4 wallets connected to my wallet after hard fork.

EXCEPTION: 11DbException Db::put: Cannot allocate memory Snowballs in ProcessMessages()
ProcessMessage(checkpoint, 110 bytes) FAILED
I suspect that a node running an old version 2.0.1 tries to connect and causes a reorganization, but fails. Just after the fork the 2.0.1 nodes were successful because the blocks to reorganize were only a few, but now 10,000 blocks are too many blocks. I've been able to stake today after getting that message, so I guess it is not a big issue ... I think this is the reason for that 11DbException. Every time i got this error, i also saw 2.0.1 version on "getpeerinfo". When i blocked that connections IP with peerblock, that error stayed away untill another 2.0.1 connected. Now i block every 2.0.1 connections IP to keep that error away.

i had the db error thing pop up on my wallet after restarting the client. I first did repairwallet through the console window, it did indeed find a spent coin mismatch, then I shut down balls client and restarted using -rescan as a flag in the shortcut. the error returned so i deleted debug.log and db.log restarted with the -rescan flag via shortcut and then the message went away along with the checkpoint error. so far been 30min no issues.
I did all this and all seemed fine for awhile but the error came back. When i got stake i decided to test "repairwallet" command and it found a mismatch which was the same amount as the stake. Now everytime i use repairwallet, it will revert my account balance to what it was before the block count reached 360K. I have also tested to send coins to another address in same wallet. I sent 10000 BALLS and the wallet says it is over the size limit and i need to pay 6.4 BALLS transaction fee. Even 1000 BALLS is over the size limit.

Good to hear you didn't give up barwizi, have a question. For those who got snapshop, did not export private key still keeping the old wallet how do they get the new relaunched noirshares? It seems the wallet doesn't sync nowadays so can't export private key at this moment.
I would like to know solution to this problem.
