thanks

where is the source for the current/new tips wallet?

alternatively, what is the 'fix' i need to apply to the old v1.1.1.1 code?

in wallet 2.5.1.0, for those of us who have visual issues,
how do i turn off the theme crap or otherwise set to plain high contrast colours
like a normal qt wallet?
slider/scrollbars in particular are essentially impossible to see with any of the available themes.

i found the moment it finishes reading the blocks and about to start the gui wallet (and probably start networking to download new blocks) is when it faulted.
if i disabled my network connection before it finished reading the blocks, it started up fine. and then
re-enabled my network connection after the wallet screen is fully up.

i run "network activity indicator" tool in my windows systray, so doing network stop/starts is fairly fussless.

i get the distinct impression the v.0.4.4.006 windows wallet downloaded from bitbar.co is out of date.
where can i download the latest version?

dead like a parrot.
and like the dead parrot, there will always be someone who insists that it's still alive.

when doing a "getpeerinfo" i see some version 1.4.0 wallets. what is that wallet?? are they
the cause of the orphans for us mere mortals still on 1.3.3 ?

vendor?
best price i see on amazon.ca is an asus version at about $232+tax

unless your parents are paying for the electricity, you do not make $3/day
and in ontario you are more likely to LOSE money if you run the mining during
peak rate hours (6 hours of the day)

most people do not. most gamers do.
i do not game, unless you have the card for some other purpose other than coin mining, it will
never pay for itself (dont forget the ongoing electricity cost of such a pig doing mining.)

oh, that $100usd is $138 canadian dollars, plus excessive ebay seller shipping charges, plus border taxes/fees (15%). many sellers do not ship outside USA, and many others INSIST on using UPS for delivery which is not a viable option into canada. (yes, UPS is in canada, they are NOT viable to my address. Fedex okay, post office okay, DHL okay, but absolutely not UPS)

the ethminer program i tried wanted a graphics card with MORE than 1GB of ram (ie: a 2GB card)
sorry, but upgrading my graphics just for mining is not justifiable and will stick with my
mere 1GB total card and not deal with eth algorithm coins.

must be nice for kids now days to have all those huge memory gaming graphics cards

so i download the win64 version, unzip it into a fresh folder of its own.
click on it and get error "Unable to find locale data files. Please reinstall."

as for suggestion people go to Slack, you pretty much affirmed my claim
this isnt ready for prime time real public kind of people.
you cannot expect real users to tap dance through chat rooms to get what the need to run a most basic setup.

as i tried to say in my OP, pushing hard to get onto multiple exchanges is risky, it will attract
attention, people will come and look, people will see amateur hour, they will leave and never look back.
you only have one chance to make the inital splash. its risky to do it too soon.

it seems risky to be pushing this hard before there's actually a function windows GUI wallet that will actually connect to peers and keep files in the correct place.
only one chance to make a splash, if the initial experience people have is bad software, they will go away and not look back.

except it wont be under %APPDATA%
whoever built the current wallets fumbled and instead of using the
system %APPDATA% variable they hand-typed the path and mistyped it.
you need to look under
\user\<yourusername>\appdata\roaming\ rather than \users...
ie: no "s" on user(s) as the real %APPDATA% would have.

is there a 32bit windows binary of the ethminer program around?
i can only find 64bit ones.

be nice if there was a working mining pool.

my experience with essentially a non functioning windows wallet has me thinking this coin will be going nowhere fast. user experience is everything, and non-gui javascript consoles blabbering in json formatted text is not a good user experience -- that is if you can find that console program with the windows zip file distribution of several thousand files.

nope, because i didnt have the .conf file in the correct (which was incorrect) appdata folder.
however i did find the gmc.exe binary hiding in the huge zip file distribution

so i ran gmc.exe and cut&paste all those addnodes from the earlier forum posting, and now the chain is downloading. and i was perplexed i coudn't find where those chain/block files were landing.
as it turns out, per my previous post, they were landing in a slightly incorrect folder structure.

here are some windows environment variables (on a 64 bit system) that are useful to be aware of
(where 'dnp' is the 'username')


APPDATA=C:\Users\dnp\AppData\Roaming
COMMONPROGRAMFILES=C:\Program Files\Common Files
CommonProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files
CommonProgramW6432=C:\Program Files\Common Files
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\Users\dnp
LOCALAPPDATA=C:\Users\dnp\AppData\Local
PROGRAMFILES=C:\Program Files
ProgramData=C:\ProgramData
ProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86)
ProgramW6432=C:\Program Files
SYSTEMDRIVE=C:
SYSTEMROOT=C:\Windows
USERNAME=dnp
USERPROFILE=C:\Users\dnp
WINDIR=C:\Windows

looks like someone didnt properly do windows coding and didnt "lookup" %appdata% in the program but rather typed in the path.
on my windows7 system (and most win7) %appdata% is: /users/<loginname>/appdata/roaming/...
and indeed the windows .exe for musiccoin did drop a couple files under
%appdata%/musicoin/ namely a subfolder "wallet-ui"
however...
under  /user[but no S]/<loginname>/appdata/roaming/musiccoin
i have chaindata,dapp,nodes,history,nodekey

someone mistyped, when they should have been properly doing a dynamic lookup for %appdata% environment variable
