Your staking does not work.
I have upgraded to version 2.1.8.
The wallet projects "Expected time to earn interest: 2 hours",
but after 2 or 3 days ... still nothing.
Thanks 8JaJ5FW6LkvpPw439u6e69Pe85mcMGtBL4
It can take 2-3 days before the first inerest is added. The once your wallet has been on for 4-5 days you'll start seeing a more constant income of interest. But the amount will depend on how many coins are in your wallet. |

yeah 2.1.8 working well here too. I've not had a problem since 2.1.7 but glad everyone is sorted now  |
|

I've had version 2.1.7 running and staking for 11.5 hours working great and is staying on the correct chain no more orphaned blocks all interest is getting confirmed.
Nice work devs on get the problem fix quickly.

Ok so an update today, Still only getting orphaned blocks so obviously the wallet has gone to the wrong chain but its back now cause my block height is same as chainz but still can't generate intrest. I did change the conf to have the new node list. What next? at this point I'm worried to send coins anywhere because if the wallet gets to the wrong chain at that moment I'll loose the coins as has already happened to me. Did we hear back from bittrex, have they updated their wallet? e2a: I'm back on the wrong chain again e2a: It seems that the only option for staying on the right chain is to constantly be reloading the blockchian, at least 2-3 times per day. Perhaps we have to think about what we want to do moving forward. Is there an error with the Fork? What about making a message show on all wallets that they need to update to the new version. e2a: I'm turning off my node for now, it's jumping between chains constantly. 1min on one another moment it's on the other chain. I'm gona try a full delete and reinstall of the 2.1.6 build and see if that works but I'll do it later and it'll take about 3 days before I will see if it's worked.  It has become pretty evident to me that there was a problem with the hard fork... Why exaclty did we fork again when everything was working? We need a new wallet update asap By the way im in the process of loading the enitre blockchain again from scratch. Should be done tonight (it has been loading since 24h +) I will let you guys know if this works but I have a feeling its not going to work Edit: I def. would not send any coins until the issue is resolved. Like you said you might be at risk of never getting them back. Where is our developper? Why does it take so long to get this issue fixed? Nick: I dont think posting a tutrial on how to resync the blockchain will help. Everyone here knows how to do that. What we need is our lead developper to step up and fix this problem. As simple as that. (Just like last time we had a hard fork) Just restore everything back to the way it used to be and let it be. And by the way this is starting to get really annoying. The POST algortythm is rewarding like 3 addresses with almost all of the interest since 4 days which is unacceptable. Why do we have to deal with this every update? IM starting to wonder if this is really a coincidence? Honestly what gives? Same thing happened last hard fork I started fresh with a clean install and deleted all the files in the dir except the wallet file. But I noticed when downloading the chain that the total block height was changing and never matched Chainz so at that point I stopped. I'll wait for your update before I continue and perhaps there will be fix out. Would love the Dev to chime in and perhaps look into the situation. |

According to CryptoID / SLR Explorer there are just 14 wallets active on the 'correct' fork right now. As this is out of 67 on 2.1.6 and 18 still on 2.1.1 (which is no longer valid I understand).
My wallet(s) are all now showing all [?] / orphaned blocks since the fork and it would seem to be better to shut them down rather than keep poisoning the well by being on the wrong one.
I have reloaded the blockchain, scanned the wallets, restarted over and over and frankly this is starting to look worrying.
T
suggest the following: update the file solarcoin.conf with the list of 2.1.6 addnodes from chainz: 1. shut down solarcoin. 2. find and open solarcoin.conf 3. replace with addnode list from chainz of 2.1.6. 4. restart, reload chain (download) 5. rescan wallet. This will minimize noise from 2.1.1 from the start. In the console you can use> getpeerinfo to see the version and blockheight for each of the nodes you are connecting to. could even edit the solarcoin.conf file to start with nodes that are both 2.1.6 and have blockheight similar to figure shown in Chainz explorer. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/slr/#addnode=104.243.243.215 addnode=104.40.180.191 addnode=106.188.97.66 addnode=108.2.63.62 addnode=109.92.226.147 addnode=121.99.234.213 addnode=122.58.152.232 addnode=122.58.156.103 addnode=124.169.44.143 addnode=13.95.228.73 addnode=137.74.194.42 addnode=140.96.96.34 addnode=162.243.214.120 addnode=174.57.197.124 addnode=174.57.202.216 addnode=176.9.61.40 addnode=176.9.65.41 addnode=177.237.140.73 addnode=178.239.212.149 addnode=181.49.47.233 addnode=193.62.194.254 addnode=193.63.220.237 addnode=2.25.219.139 addnode=2.30.78.124 addnode=202.161.30.214 addnode=213.214.73.240 addnode=213.91.205.134 addnode=216.252.93.239 addnode=218.153.165.108 addnode=222.237.184.208 addnode=24.184.112.226 addnode=24.45.125.112 addnode=31.153.53.171 addnode=37.112.117.122 addnode=40.112.185.197 addnode=46.177.125.194 addnode=46.251.115.205 addnode=46.4.66.6 addnode=47.90.61.29 addnode=49.125.2.84 addnode=5.53.251.3 addnode=50.110.249.40 addnode=64.56.26.26 addnode=73.10.58.144 addnode=73.148.159.177 addnode=73.220.153.187 addnode=77.117.40.57 addnode=78.23.178.34 addnode=78.46.23.222 addnode=78.83.197.46 addnode=80.110.126.158 addnode=80.84.176.209 addnode=81.135.94.111 addnode=81.157.7.7 addnode=81.165.11.25 addnode=81.247.156.211 addnode=81.82.241.123 addnode=82.102.115.59 addnode=89.215.51.199 addnode=89.25.80.98 addnode=90.40.180.202 addnode=90.61.194.24 addnode=92.135.209.175 addnode=93.106.236.196 addnode=94.173.60.137 addnode=94.226.224.181 addnode=94.65.89.195 addnode=95.208.92.30 Thanks for the info Nick.

My wallet seems to be constantly in and out of the right blockchain. All my 'blocks' are orphaned, I can't seem to stay on the right chain.
What shall I do? I'm currently reloading the blockchain and I'll rescan the wallet. But do we have a long term solution? I'd rather not turn off my node as I do run a full node.

Yeah I'm back on the wrong fork, I'm about 9 blocks behind the Block explorer so tried restarting the wallet hasn't worked so I'm gona reload blockcahin again. and then rescan wallet. so it makes 4 days so far with no interest being earned.

How can you find out if your on the right Blockchain?
I think my wallet is off the chain and is staking the old blockchain, I tested it sent 1solarcoin to an exchange and the transaction isn't showing up on the block explorer but it has 100+ confirmations. So this has led me to believe I'm on the wrong chain.
It takes 3 days for me to download the whole blockchain again so I'd rather not to that unless I really have to.
So far I've closed it and rescaned the wallet but and now I'm reloading the blockchain.
Is there a way to see if I'm on the right chain. Thanks in advance for anyhelp.
You can easily check if you are on the correct chain by comparing the block height on the block explorer and the one on the wallet. Simply hover the mouse over the staking symbol at the bottom of your wallet (for about 2 seconds) and it will show you what block you are currently on. I noticed I was not on the correct chain because my wallet was about 300 blocks behind what it said on the block explorer You can do all of this in the wallet. Just check what the newest block is under the blockchain tab and then check what block you are at by hovering the mouse over the staking icon It usually takes like 24h to reload the entire chain but if you try doing it the exact same way as I mentioned above it might also work for you. It's working on the right chain now, did a rescan and reload. I lost the last 2 days of interest too. Thanks for the reply hovering over the staking symbol was my first thought but it's not working and still isn't even after I've closed and reloaded the wallet, might have to restart the computer to get it all working fresh again. e2a: All good now |

I was using the 2.1.1 wallet it couldn't see the upgrade so I downloaded the wallet from the solar coin website and installed. Works great.

I ended up reverting to the old build of windows 10 (1500) not the current shit anniversary edition (1600) random shit kept happening with the new build so I reverted and won't be going back to the new one. Only security updates will be installed now on, which is cool, cause I told windows that it didn't work with my hardware, so it shouldn't try to install it again. For all the money they make, you'd think Microsoft would be able to make a decent OS  If you want you can put your update setting on the option that you are on a metered connection then no updates will be done automatically you have to check for updates manually. I haven't done it my self but I know it works. The other advantage to the older 1500 build of windows 10 is that you can still set it to ask you to restart for updates and you have more space on the hard drive. I've currently got 20 connections. so that's nice. |

I'm constantly above 12 connections now so nice to see I'm running a full node |

So great news, my Intel Compute Stick arrived today and it's all setup and staking solarcoin already The best part is that I have my wallet and blockchain on a SD card in the slot and have directed the wallet to store all dirdata on the the SD so it doesn't take up the memory of the compute stick. It's quite simple to do if anyone wants to do it. I got the info from the bitcoin wiki and just changed it to solarcoin and it all worked. I just copied my current solarcoin wallet info from my %appdata% folder and put it on a 16GB SD and then directed the wallet to start and use that file as the data directory. (how to is at the bottom of this post) I can say that it works 100% I now still have 17.2 GB free on my compute stick which is great. On the box it says that the power consumption when in use is 2.61Wh so even less than I thought it would be. next step is to make a solar setup to run that and my laptop and charge phones.  Happy days. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How to change your solarcoin directory:You can also store Solarcoin data files in any other drive or folder. Not only in %appdata% If you have already downloaded the data then you will have to move the data to the new folder. If you want to store them in D:\SolarCoin then click on "Properties" of a shortcut to solarcoin-qt.exe and add -datadir=D:\SolarCoin at the end as an example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarCoin\solarcoin-qt.exe" -datadir=d:\SolarCoin Were you able to run everything on Solar power or only the Monitor? Right now nothing is on solar yet, I'm actually looking at buying the equipment as I don't have any yet and I'm still in the research phase to make sure I get the right stuff. Stick is working well although, it auto updated and turned my wallet off and then I did the big Windows 1607 update which took half the day today so almost 20 hours not staking, been back up for a few hours now and I had trouble with port forwarding could only get 8 connections a little fiddling and refreshing the Upnp option on the wallet and I have 11 connections now but I saw 20 connections a few days ago, from what I understand 8 or less connections and your not supporting the network (torrent equivalent of downloading but not uploading) someone correct me if I'm wrong. But I hope to have some solar running soon, need to work out my total Wh (harder than I thought) before I go buying the wrong panels and batteries. After the big update I have 8GB left on the internal memory of the stick, and I was using it to browse the web earlier and it wasn't too bad (Atom x5 version 2016) had about 8 tabs open and it was surprisingly responsive I expected more lag. I've heard that they have some newer models with Intel M processors in them and 4GB RAM with 64 GB Flash memory 3 USB 3.0 ports and apparently they work very but they are 450 Euro ($500) but for what we need my 150 Euro stick is perfect very glad. I'll keep you posted on the Solar project and will post some pics if I get the time when it's done. |

To improve the UX (user experience) we are looking at lightweight wallets that don't require downloading the entire blockchain, sometimes called SPV wallets. Does anyone have preferences or biases/experience with any of these or other light weight wallets. These would be non-staking, but helpful for many. https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/#/overviewThat's good news, I use Electrum personally I like it, simple and easy to use. |

I dont understand. This coin is calle solar and supports green energy but you mine with a miner !?? Makes no sense. Shouldn't oou mine with solar panels ?? I dont see how this is solar in anyway.
You must be a bit confused. There is no mining Solarcoin. It's proof of stake with a 2% interest rate per year. New coins are generated by stakers who leave their wallet open and by people who claim solarcoins. In addition to that the network doesn't need a lot of electricity to stay functional.... I stake on a intel pc stick that uses 5 watts of energy. So yeah it doesn't even show up on my power bill I'm thinking of getting one of the new compute sticks to run my solarcoin wallet and have it staking, Idealy I'll even have the compute stick and monitor running of a small solarpower set-up How has your experican been with the compute stick I know the soalrcoin blockchain is only about 1gb at the mo is there enough room on it incase the blockchain will grow in size? I can only recommend this setup with the intel compute stick. If you want to run a full node and stake some Solarcoin's in the process it's absolutely perfect. But I would not recommend it if you intend to do anything else with this computer. It's really slow and takes ages to load programs especially the Solarcoin wallet (over 5 minutes). Once it's running it works perfectly just like it's intended to. Im am running windows 8 on mine. A friend of mine recently got his with windows 10! It's been running for about a week now with no issues. But I recommend trying to get one of the ones with windows 8 since I have been using that since ages now without any issues. If you do get one of these intel pc sticks you will have to get a USB hub because there is only 1 USB port on the computer. I also got a USB to ethernet adapter (you can get both of these for quite cheap on amazon) because my wifi connection can be pretty bad from time to time... But the built in Wifi will also do just fine! It would be really cool if you managed to run the entire setup on Solar energy! it should be possible considering it runs on such little power... Thanks for the reply. I'm gona buy one of the 2016 models of the compute stick which has 2x USB 1x 3.0 ans 1x 2.0 apparently it comes with W10 home edition and with the atom x5 Z8300 processor still only 2gb ram and 32gb memory, I hope that it'll be enough. I'll only be using it for stacking my coins, do you have it plugged into the screen all the time or does it work when it's unplugged? I'm definitely gona be running it of Solar power along with my personal laptop as well. I live in sunny Spain at the coast and it would be silly not to use the sun to stake solarcoin. |
