Not sure what you're saying. All you need to do is download or compile the new client. After the fork, the old ones won't work, they'll be excluded from the network. Generally a few days of chaos because people don't pay attention, but that's it.

I've learned that you can beat a chargeback with paypal. It ain't easy, they're generally on the side of scammers, but it can be done

If I understand correctly, it just stops gaining interest at that point.

But CO2/Methane reaction releases water, and only about half as efficient as gasoline/oxygen Given the relatively cheap production and renewability of methane, might be a good idea.

The answer should have been obvious. No, I didn't get it, but 2 foot four inches is 2 1/3rd feet, and a mile is 5280 feet. I should have gotten it

I don't see that as a particularly good idea as a default. But having it as an option, maybe even a popup, sounds like a pretty decent idea.

The reason I don't think it should be automatic is that the level of expertise in crypto is immensely variable. Every day I see people making the simplest mistakes, and they are not stupid people. The more automated things become, the easier it becomes to irretrievably screw things up. But it it were an 'expert' option, yes, I think that would be a good utility.

Or, perhaps, an external script? That way nobody would do it by accident or overwrite wallet.dat or some such noise, and the daemon is perfectly capable of pulling a wallet backup from API command.

No thanks. My wife does it enough for the entire Irish race.


All keys and passwords are in wallet.dat. It's the only file that matters

But if the AV killed the client, but everything was fine before hand, I'd just leave it be other than making damn sure you have wallet.dat backed up. The rest of that folder is the blockchain and your personal index of it. If it DOES hose up again, then, yeah, delete everything after you've safely backed up wallet.dat, let it resynch from zero (a rather time consuming process on TEK's chain) and then replace the newly generated wallet.dat with your backup.

First, don't panic. Panic causes more problems than it solves.

Next, go to folder options and on the view tab, make sure "view hidden files and folders" is checked.

Then go to user\username\roaming\appdata and look for tekcoin folder. If it's there, navigate to it. Copy wallet.dat to a safe location. This will be your most up to date wallet.

If it's not there, go ahead and use your backup. In most cases, you'll recover everything unless you have some new keys. This is not guaranteed, however, so take this as a lesson to REGULARLY backup your wallet.dat file.

I'd also recommend before doing any of this that you do a hard reset (power off) and see if everything clears up. This could just be Windows being its ugly self.

I'm an anarcho-capitalist, about as far from a socialist as you can get.

You've spent this whole time trying to get others to care about YOUR opinions. Do you not see the hypocrisy in your own (poorly constructed) sentences? And your opinion is not and cannot be intellectual property. Words have precise meanings, and that particular series of them means very specific things relating to copyright law. An opinion can only be intellectual property if it is a peer reviewed PUBLISHED opinion, and even then the line is pretty thin. Sometimes such papers are allowed copyright protection, others they are considered to be in the public domain. It depends on format.

If you wrote such an opinion on a matter of law or science (the only two fields in which an opinion can be considered intellectual property), it would be immediately dismissed upon peer review. Even if it were generally correct.

Why?

Because you either DO NOT or CANNOT properly parse a sentence. You're grammar is so awful that I have to assume that either English is not your mother tongue, or you're a young American.

Your posts suggest otherwise. Particularly the first and last thing I offered. I'd be willing to wager that you cannot list ONE logical fallacy employed in this and my previous post. I'd also be willing to wager that most of us watching this trainwreck don't have the same limitation.

You claim a great deal of intellect and expertise, but demonstrate damn little of either.

My offer stands.

For 1 BTC, I'll teach you the rudiments of grammar in American English. For 2, I will throw in British (UK) Australian, Canadian, and South African variants.

For ten, I'll teach you the art of debate.

Mac and I parted company in 1985, but Linux is easy. Just clone the git and compile your own. It's easy, and if your machine is fast, don't take more than an hour from start to finish.

If you've never done it, PM me. I can help.

It's a server hosting platform, like Amazon Web Services. Allegedly a bit better, but I've no experience of Azure.

It's in process with Polo, I think it's already changed at Cryptopia. Not sure on the status at bittrex. I've got the Block Explorer configs ready to switch at a moment's notice, but for the moment, I'm only pulling data from Polo. Bittrex's API keeps timing out for some reason, and Cryptsy imploded. At present, I can't pull from Cryptopia due to it not yet being incorporated into Iquidus Explorer. Luke Williams updates it pretty regularly, so as it changes, so will I

I hear you. I had no probs so far, but I staked just before I upgraded, and haven't run it in a few days.

My guess is that the checkpoint hasn't been updated yet because the wallet will fork on April 6th. If it's synching correctly, then a checkpoint warning is usually not a major issue. Note that the first part IS a guess. I haven't spoken with Thundertoe in a few days, so I'm not sure.

But I've seen this in several coins when there was a wallet update that was NOT mandatory and I didn't feel like compiling a new wallet. It was never an issue. Also, HBN had that a few months back while Tranz was working on wallet updates, and it never caused anything more than a bit of consternation

@trickyricky, you have achieved the impossible. mprep and I have gone rounds on multiple occasions. I freely admit I just plain don't like the guy or his style of moderation.

and yet...

You've made me HAVE to agree with MPREP.  I think I hate you.

I have learned that navigating a git repo in Windows is incredibly frustrating. It's no wonder so many programmers use Linux even for Windows applications.

LOL. Been in the game a long time. Almost all coins have the same option, some default to on, most don't. Check all your wallets, I bet you find it.
