Hello,
I was wondering if somebody could help me. I have btc core v0.18.1. The blockchain is fully synced. My wallet.dat file is a copy from many years ago. It seems like it has trouble loading and keeps getting stuck at the "rescanning" I tried the wallet something like 1.5 years ago and it was still fine. How long can this rescanning take? Any ideas? Im afraid it wont load and my wallet version is not compatible anymore with the core client I run.
Bitcoin Core wallets don't become "incompatible" with new wallet versions - newer versions automatically upgrade the file so that it is compatible with them. Subsequently, once a wallet is upgraded you can't open it in older version of Core. Rescanning a wallet takes a few hours usually - longer if your hard disk is bad or old. But the private keys are still there so technically so is access to all your funds. It's just the transactions that it's loading. Thank you so much I will give it some more time and if it still doesnt work I will try the newest client and I understand you correctly it should rescan my wallet in the latest version eventually.

Looking for some info on REVV and came across this tread. You've been updating consistently which is nice it surprises me to see so little engagement. Just started to look into Revv so will be digging throughout your post some more.

if dont know if that wallet has a seed or not but if it does and you dont have it it does not matter.
If you forgot the password as well there are no ways to move the coins.
If you have an idea of what the password was you have services that try to brute force the password
This is only an option if you have a super easy insecure password or if you remember it partly
These are your only options as far as I know

not as far as I can tell it says to add the nodes when you have at least one active connection which I have not.
I tried it anyway and added the nodes but it didnt work.
Tried to install the wallet on another computer with the same results 0 active connections.
Anyway thanks for trying to help

Clearly the swap deadline was not communicated well. A single answer to an AMA question hidden among hundreds of other question/answers, plus a single random tweet, is not an appropriate announcement for a swap. Swap is a major event; I have seen other coin managers announcing swap many months (sometimes more than a year) before the deadline, reminding about the swap deadline every month (every week, then every day close to the deadline), putting a countdown timer on the main page on the website, for the visitor to see it first thing when he enters the website.
All this is done because coin managers realize the cryptocurrency is supposed to be a form of money, and it is illegal to deprive people of their holdings, without provably giving them a fair chance to swap. Basically it is similar to a government accepting old banknotes for years (decades) after a new banknotes are issued. This behaviour from the devs (throwing a dart to find a date?, deciding just because one single user said something?, who told the swap end was a community request and there was consensus in community about that?), just shows devs are either not very serious about their project, or have little understanding of legal issues, or have little interest in belongings of community members.
Bottomline, while I don't really support the behavior of this complaining user (as you can see from my older replied to his previous series of complaints), I believe he brought up a valid point. We all know crypto is a wild west, but the way swap is done, speaks tons about the legitimacy of a project. The rule of the thumb is - the more solid a project is, the longer swap period does it provide. I would suggest to review the prior decision (agree, probably it should have been suggested sooner, but anyway).
P.S. This is just to avoid unnecessary speculation: I personally have swapped all my Coval coins long time ago, so I have no financial interest in supporting 'late swapper's. I just think this issue could have been handled much better, and maybe still can.
Couldn't agree more with what you are saying its a real shame the project is abandoning a part of its early investors for not being up to date with some answers in an random ama that was given. Its unreasonable to have such a punishment for something that should have been communicated in a much better way. All people screaming, you have had enough time and lessons learned, are just egocentric people that are happy supply is decreased for their own bag. At the cost of others. really sad and unfair this.

Can someone please point me where I can get the latest update on evolution ?

still you have shitcoin charts and worse shitcoin charts, Stratis def one of the more worse. Last big support is around 6200sats. If we fail that one we have 4700sats smaller support en below that its just black hole free fall imo. Lets hope it didnt come to that people have got rekt enough in here

This is such an amazing project from a technological point of view. Dapps that can leverage features from multiple chains with a light weight client gives so much more possibilities to developers. Lets hope the news spreads wide and far since we lack the acknowledgment in the space.

is there some news available about the switch from erc20 token to mainnet coin? Was screening trough all the medium articles but didnt saw any about the topic. Dont mind to wait but dont want to miss any deadlines.

I have carefully observed your team information, and I think you are really professional I hope you can stick to it and make this project successful
it is important to choose the right tactics of the activity and development of the project. The team already has a certain level of knowledge and experience, so I think it will be easy to organize and develop an idea, but it is worth the support of the market. At this rate my great,great,great grandchildren may see the launch of Maidsafe because at this rate I will be six feet under before that happens - the world seems to be passing Maidsafe by. Just confirms to me that I CO,s are a license to print money and are acountable to know one This is such BS. First of all most if not all the funding they have at the moment is from a equity sale of the maidsafe company via banktothefuture. Furthermore you clearly dont have followed any development last years otherwise you would have know that maidsafe is not some ico money grab. They are the complete opposite. Your understanding of what the network can do and will bring in the future is clearly very low. No other competitor is even close at what they are building. Casper for eth for example is further away then most expected since they delay the difficulty bomb by another year. They wouldn't do that if casper was around the corner. And they have been working on that for years already to with all the funding and developers they could wish for. And even if they complete and finally deploy casper they still have to shard the network. A sharded eth is many many years away and that is with a ton of money and development going on. Do some research before speaking statements like they are facts. Like I stated before it takes longer than we all hoped but If it where so easy to build an asynchronous byzantine fault tolerance data network is would have been done already by a competitor.

It doesn't matter anymore if you believe them or not bc even if there where people involved that used that moment to obtain large amounts of dash they have had so many moment to sell already. When you have large amounts and don't believe in a projects you will sell in volume. Dash is a old crypto which had many peak moments with volume before the 2017 bubble occurred and before people could even have imagined a rally like we have seen last year. There where plenty of moments for them to sell long before the 2017 bubble. The wales that stayed obviously saw something in dash otherwise you wont hold for years if there where plenty of moments where you could have sold with big profits. You dont hold a coin you dont believe in with uncertainty that your bag becomes worthless. There are plenty of coins who have large whales due buying large amounts with discounts in icos which we seen last year or due to large mining power or some other reason. Even in btc there a major whales and they are doing fine besides some market manipulation where you still cant get around of in crypto. The people that are still involved with dash after all these years have the best interest for dash otherwise you wont spend so much time and energy in it if there have been plenty of moments where you could have sold and moved on already.

People moaning about price decrease and blaming dash alone for the decrease should look a bit more critical to them self. Yes its really tough to witness you wealth decrease when you are still hodling but thats what a bear market does and have done every time. Maybe its because lots of people are experiencing a bear market for the first time but bear markets are brutal and irrational just like the bull fase is irrational. Dash went from $10 to $1500 last year which is totally insane so what do people expect when you have a much longer bear market then most expected. Some coins performed better than other during this bear that doesnt mean that those who performed less are total shit coins. Even Eth also has fallen from $1400 and that is the second largest crypto and it hasnt done that much better. Coins that have risen a lot last year have a tough time in a bear market.
Its true that the team missed some deadlines but everyone that knows a little bit of software development knows that sometime things take longer than expected. Especially when you are developing something new that has never been done before. Its extremely difficult to set a time line for something that hasn't been invented and coded yet in other projects since you are pioneering the technology.
People complaining only have to blame them self you could have sold any time during 2018 its not like dash havent had enough volume to sell into its a choice you made so you should bear with it.
Evolution is a big project and I think its good that they try to differentiate them self with it. It was not a easy choice to make I assume and the consequence of that is that you don't have a flashy feature every few months to add which during a bear market could have held prices a bit higher. But its not about adding some small features (from other projects) that will help mitigate the pain during a bear market, its about adding real value to a project with a clear goal. Dash does that with its successful adoption in third world countries and evolution fits perfectly in that vision of being a real payment solution its just takes a bit longer than expected.

I have been active in crypto since beginning 2013 when I was waiting on my butterfly asics haha. What a mistake that was not to also have some orders at avalon as well but anyway after mining for several years and going deeper and deeper in the crypto space, there is still, to this date, no other project that gets me more excited from a technical perspective than maidsafe does. I know it hasn't been a great trade last years but what maidsafe is building is really needed in the world. More needed than all other crypto projects that I know of. That doesn't mean its the only interesting project to follow there are plenty of good and very promising projects but nothing has the scope that maidsafe could have so its only natural that it takes a lot longer to build since its that much more complex otherwise we would have seen someone who would have done it already. I encourage all people who read this to just get familiar with the tech and follow the dev updates every Thursday just to get a understanding what they are building and follow how the enormous process goes. https://safenetforum.org/ beta website: https://safenetwork.tech/

Trading volume on maid is pretty low so if one person decides to sell it can affect the whole order book. A lot of alts are down but btc is pretty steady after the news of all the etf rejections by the sec. I actually am pretty pleased that they rejected all proposals at once and not like one a week where we have this negative tension every time. Markets are holding pretty well so far which could be a good sign but we have to see the coming days.
Maid/btc is still trading within the slightly ascending triangle after a large down period so technically we are still good making higher lows and this could be seen as a consolidation fase on a higher timeframe. Markets are overall down so even with the good news we had last weeks the people who have reached it and understand are still relatively small so I'm not surprised maid is affected by the negative market sentiment as well the last weeks.
Im looking forward to the dev update tonight last week they said they have had very long in-depth meetings on what exactly still has to happen before launch and how to get there. This was never discussed before and they probably wouldn't have done that if they weren't convinced themselves that it will be coming. Also curious if they started coding on milestone 2 with parsec integration in routing but we will know in a few hours.

any news on the new roadmap? Should be any moment now right?
Markets are depressing I personally think in the worst case scenario for dash when we continue to have a full blown bear market with btc hitting at least 4k, dash will bottom out around $87-120 since that was the top of our first run up back in 2017 and two grand Fibonacci support lines so it would make sense to test that former top between those lines if we have a prolonged continuation of a bear market coming 6 months. We are already at the(normal) 0.882fib retracement line so measured from the beginning of our uptrend so maybe that will give some support as well if btc stays supportive around 6k. I bought some dash yesterday although it seems markets are not quite ready to bounce just yet so it may have been a bit to early.
Although there is a chance we see a prolonged bear market with btc hanging at the edge of the cliff and with the sec probably gonna delay their decision about the cboe solidx etf till February 2019 we should not get too depressed since the whole marketcap has already declined around 80% from ath which gives me the idea that we are in or will be entering a bottoming fase. So although we can get a continuation of the bear market the most of the losses have already been lost. So its time to cautiously begin to be more optimistic coming weeks/ months and look for nice buy opportunities and not get caught in the capitulation fase by the whales when they want everybody to think crypto or in this case dash is dead.
I was wondering if the treasury of dash cant have something like a saving account build in for the dev team where in times like these in the future they wont have any funding problems during a bear market.
Next quarterly summary call is scheduled for the 10th of august 2018, which should include the release of the new roadmap Link : https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/dash-core-group-q2-2018-summary-call-10-august-2018.39895/With regards to creating a buffer to use in future bear markets, DashCoreGroup started this recentely through a (recurring) budget proposal Link : https://www.dashcentral.org/p/coreteamcomp0918With regards to Bitcoin ETF, latest news is that the SEC will decide on 9 Bitcoin ETFs in the next two months. I'm hoping at least the VanEck/SolidX Bitcoin ETF will be approved (seems the most likely ETF to get approved as its coming from reliable exchange Cboe BZX). Link : https://www.coindesk.com/the-sec-will-decide-on-9-bitcoin-etfs-in-the-next-2-months/Personally i think that Bitcoin will limit its fall to somewhere in the 5k range, if its bearmarket would intensify. At least i hope it does. Shit will really hit the fan if it drops to 4k (mining getting unprofitable, severe blood in the street for altcoins etc). Thanks for the links will check them out. I was 1 day to early for the new roadmap haha im excited to see what will be on there exactly. Good to hear they created a proposal for it. Although this is something that should have been done already its good that they are working on it now. The dev team like most of us probably didnt expected such a deep bear market and with plenty of room in the budget the probably felt comfortable but the chance of not beeing able to fund the whole dev team should not happen again in the future. In regards to all the ETF proposals the one we are all waiting for is the vanEck/solidX etf. The problem with is though that the sec can delay their decision on approval once more till feb 2019. I dont have a understanding of all ETF proposals but from what I read the solidx ETF has the most chance bc of Cboe, so if that one gets postponed to feb before being approved and in the mean time all other ETF's will be denied this could lead to some further down pressure coming months. I would have agreed upon the 5k low for btc if we have had it already before the last uptrend we saw but now we already again at the 6k mark where we have only started our downtrend two weeks ago so if we do break to new lows and all etf's will get denied and the most promising postponed once again I think it can go to 4k. I hope not off course but like markets can be irrational in the upside we saw last year it can be on the down side as well. On the other hand if we can hold 6k zone that would be the 4th time btc would find a bottom in that area which would be pretty bullish imo and confirming we are at the consolidation fase where we are making the new base for the next bullmarket to come. Either way its risky to sell or buy right now but one thing is certain the bear market will end. We have survived the 2014/15 bear market with much less to show for then we have now and not only dash but the whole crypto ecosystem its not a matter if we get another (this time institutional) bullrun but when it will happen and this for me is a big difference with the sentiment most people felt in the former bear market. Crypto wont die and with a bit of luck evolution will come out when sentiment is turned and dash will once again be market leader of the next bullrun like we did in 2017
