Thanks sylph - looks like you just gave me the reason that I needed to jump in to the slack group!  Cheers babbey |

backup wallet should work fine, it can take a while. On occasion, some people have had to hit the "reload blockchain" under the "file" menu. The extra 5000 coins may be due to interest earned even though you haven't actively staked. I'm not sure how the algo works exactly, but from my experience you seem to earn interest whether or not you stake. My wallet was offline by accident for about four weeks and when I got it back online to start staking again, my block rewards were initially A LOT higher for a few days. So I speculate that even though I wasn't staking for a month, my overall accrued interest seemed unchanged.
Can't remember the figures, but IIRC the staking rewards are based on an annual interest assuming the wallet was staking all year. When it goes offline for a while, the next interest payment(s) will be higher to 'catch up' to the annual rewards... or something. lol Just a bit confused that there is no record of the transaction in my history, and there are no coins in my staking amount either. Does anyone have access to peers.dat and solarcoin.conf for comparison? Cheers for the help! |

Hi everyone, With the recent activity on the exchanges, I thought I had better check on the little laptop in my roof that was staking away for my wallet. Turns out that it hasn't been staking away since early September, and is almost past being usable, so I thought I would put the wallet on another retired laptop. Seems like it's struggling to gain connections after the following steps: - installed & ran the freshly downloaded wallet
- exited the wallet
- copied wallet.dat from the old laptop
- pasted it onto the new laptop in the AppData\Roaming\Solarcoin folder, replacing the newly created one
I remembered some discussions earlier in the thread regarding peers.dat and solarcoin.conf; there was no solarcoin.conf file so I created one with addnode=162.243.214.120 as the only line. I've tried reloading the blockchain and rescanning the wallet, but the best I get is 1 connection, and most of the time it has none. Not sure how relevant this is, but my holdings also increased by roughly 5000 SLR without any new transactions coming in... Could possibly be staking revenues but that doesn't make a lot of sense without any transactions. Any ideas? I just wanted to get staking again, and hoped it would be a bit simpler than this... Cheers babbey [EDIT] - The more I think about it, the more it feels like way back when the wallets forked, and we received massive amounts of coins from staking. I think I got over 73,000 coins at one point - if only I'd been on the right chain! I think I'll have to fire up the old machine when I get home from work tonight & try to convince the wallet to start up properly; there's a chance that I may just have been a bit impatient with a very slow machine, maybe with enough time the wallet will come up properly and I can use the 'Backup Wallet' and 'Export Keys' commands. |

Wow - hope this doesn't hurt the future of this coin too much... Someone is seriously cashing in!

I did a little How Hard Is It for A Newcomer to Setup A Wallet? survey. You guys won: got a wallet set up and coined up in under ninety minutes.
Don't know if I'll stick around -- but scalextrix knows I've long had a kind word for SLR over on the Reddit Doge Cryptocurrency thread.
Mark, Western Australia -- any Australians here?
I'm originally from South Australia but currently living in Victoria. I jumped on board with SolarCoin back in 2014, missed the launch by a couple of months, and have been here ever since. I have a mate in South Australia who I introduced to SolarCoin also, so there's at least three of us.  Aww shucks, are we mates now?  TooQik put me on to SLR way back when, and we learned a lot through the mining phase. Glad that is over and done with; while it was a great fun learning experience, mining doesn't really fit in with the renewable energy ethos. Very interested in the various initiatives this coin is following, and excited to see where it all goes! Got a feeling that there's at least one more Aussie here, but I'm not searching back through the thread to find them... lol |

All, I just released 2.0.8 to help with the bandwidth issue. You can get it using Help->Check for Update. PS: I'm glad I can help some of you visit your parents more often. -Steve Greatly appreciated Steve. Downloaded and wallet running now. Was up to 5 GB from midnight to now (9 am) so will be interesting to see how much impact the new wallet has. Check of overnight figures shows data usage on my wallet has dropped from the 5 GB I quoted above for version 2.0.7, to 70 MB for version 2.0.8 for roughly the same period of time (actually a little longer). Wallet is ticking away with 20 connections to the network. Once again, thanks Steve. Keep up the great work. This is amazing, thanks Steve, now we can run it in many countries on low-bandwidth. Cheers, -lfloorwalker Agreed, everything is going along smoothly now with barely any data usage at all from the wallet; looks like about one MB down and less than 0.5MB upload per hour for me. Great stuff!!  Oh, and apologies for being part of the problem...   |

Well, no actual figures to speak of, but it would seem that network traffic has reduced significantly... nice!
At this rate I'll be able to leave my home wallet open once again without fear of excess data usage, but will do a little more testing for now.

Here's a list of nodes that are on the wrong fork: (based on my debug.log file)
150.101.243.74
174.57.197.124
222.237.39.100
173.57.196.254
These are also causing the "out of sync" issue for some.
-Steve
One might be my mothers i will have to check it out today. Thanks! Fixed. So it turns out that one of these was one of mine... fixed; hopefully that will reduce the traffic somewhat for the network (and our data caps!!). Steve, can you tell us if the other 2 nodes are still running? Good to be hunting them down. I only realised I was on the wrong fork when I sent coins from one wallet to the other and they hadn't arrived after almost a day... |

Hmm...
The solarcoin wallet has used 65gb of network bandwidth so far.
Although this may not be such a problem for people in the USA and UK, in smaller countries trying to run wallets this will be a much bigger issue.
In Cyprus for example most people have between 4 and 8mbs connections.
Is there any way we can look into making the wallet network friendlier?
I agree it is hard for solarcoin to scale to a lot of the world on that data rate. WOW... Another 5gb of useage in just 1 hour! What could possibly need so much bandwidth? Luckily, I have the wallet connected to my business connection, if this was my house I wouldn't be able to do anything else. Yeah sorry everyone, here in Australia we pay through the nose for more generous data caps, so I'm afraid both my wallets will be going offline for the time being. If that data usage doesn't come down they won't be going back online anytime soon either... Thanks to any Europeans/Americans who are keeping the blockchain moving!! |

I seem to be having similar issues... have gone through 1.4GB of data over the past ~12 hours, so I'm shutting my wallet down for now in an attempt to not go over my bandwidth cap for the second time this month...  |

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?
|
|
|
|
|
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?
|
|
|

Just FYI: both my wallets seem to be rolling along nicely on 2.0.7, with interest payments coming in every 20-30 minutes. The payments are tiny, with most in the 0.01 to 0.1 range, but I'll take whatever comes! Have only had one or two conflicted payments which seems about right. |

Bittrex is definitely not on the same chain that I am.
I'm not saying which one is the right one or the wrong one. But it seems to me, the one continuing at 1 block per minute is likely the proper chain. And that isn't the one Bittrex is on.
I'm at block 837040 too. There was a post a page or two back about Bleutrade's wallet being encrypted and therefore not staking; would the same not apply to Bittrex? Either way, chalk up another quirk of the PoST transition!! lol |

Quick question (that I think was asked before but got lost): does re-scanning the wallet reset the stake time for those coins? Not that it really matters if they're not earning any interest anyway, but I'm a bit reluctant to re-scan if it means it will set me back at all... |

Love it - I was just about to add a very similar thought but don't want to ask Steve to work TOO hard... |

OK thanks corather, I will just leave it alone for now then - should be studying anyway... lol

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. |

Just restarted my wallet again and guess what i found another small interest block under a minute later. My last block before restart was 6 hours ago. strange
Just letting you know that I haven't experienced this on either machine, after restarting both wallets... was worth a shot |
