hi mate.. something is not right, it will not convert unless it's converting an old chain... are you certain you unzipped the downloaded chain into that directory?
if you delete all your old chain from that directory is it all recreated and starts downloading from scratch?

Yea, I deleted everything before unzipping the 7+GB zip file from chain download into that folder. The only thing I left behind was my old wallet.dat. I guess later tonight I'll try deleting everything, moving wallet.dat out, and then unzipping chain zip again and see if it works better with fresh wallet.dat.

So, I'm using win7 x64, and I just downloaded the latest binaries for windows and the latest chain snapshot. I unzipped chain into data folder, and then launched huntercoin-qt. I see the icon in my tray, and huntercoin-qt.exe shows up in my task manager (using 0% cpu and about 316 MB of memory), but the program window never actually opens. I let it go for like an hour and then killed it from task manager, and the log file says:

And I just reopened it and it's still doing the same thing for last half hour or so (tray icon shows up and task manager lists huntercoin-qt, but no window ever opens).

Any suggestions?

yep,

if you are using an old chain (downloaded a long time ago), it will need converting to the new format... this process can take a very long time (was for performance and pruning benefits, even though it takes a very long time for conversion).

either wait, download from scratch, or download the chain from http://chain.huntercoin.org

hope this helps..



jsut re-read.. you must not have unzipped the chain into the correct data folder.. the downloaded chain won't convert (already done)


I just downloaded the chain from http://chain.huntercoin.org and the v1.2 binaries from forum.huntercoin.org last night. I specify the data dir when I launch huntercoin-qt (d:\wallets\huntercoin\data). It's storing the log files there and it also created the database folder there; it seems to use the alternate data directory ok...it's just never launching. I've been waiting several hours now. Any estimate on how long it might take?

Have you guys tried syncing with cryponited instead of Qt?
Yes.Can you put in rar all files from app data except your wallet.dat. and upload?Then i will put in my app data with mine .dat?
I can't right now but in a few hours I can. However I would suggest you try running cryptonite on a different computer or different operating system. Some Windows machines seem to have problems running cryptonite but it's usually just qt. How do you know that cryptonited was getting stuck too?

I was just able to sync on win7 with 64 bit qt, but after several crashes and deleting contents of data dir once, but then after I was synced and closed qt window, it crashed again with something runaway error, but I was able to get synced with qt...

With the current setup of Bitcoin, you would need to wait just above 100 confirmations to do secure ACCT (Atomic Cross Chain Trading). This would be 1 full round of all delegates for DPOS (about 15-20 minutes atm). These intervals don't make sense for trading. For ACCT to become viable for any chain (without waiting too much) you need a PBFT or PBFT-like real-time Consensus and Ordering Protocol (COP) on top of the main blockchain to make ACCT viable.

That, or the light client trading server does Paypal-like fraud detection and compensates counterparty risk accordingly with pretty high trading fees (anywhere from 0.5-4% of each transaction).

Source: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=14472.msg188878#msg188878

I'm not sure where that information is coming from, it is incorrect. There would be no reason for atomic swap transactions to require more confirmations than any other payment transaction, so something like 6 would be a safe upper bound for even very high-value trades (and less confirmations can be used for smaller value transactions).

And any contract protocol that relies on third-parties as escrow or delegates is really a hack and not a very clean way to work with cryptocurrency. Protocols like that are also weak as any third-party can be bribed or be a sybil node.

BlockStream's design for sidechains relies on atomic cross-chain swaps with a very similar protocol to what is being used in Mercury, and their judgement is probably the most trustworthy in the cryptocurrency space. (See http://www.blockstream.com/sidechains.pdf, page 21).

I think he meant to say Bitshares, not Bitcoin, thus all the talk about DPOS and the bitsharestalk.org...

I asked for solution for my problem on VPS, not for buying a grafic card.  Huh
Anyone with solution?

Lots of VPS's will terminate mining tasks or processor intensive tasks, but it could also be the host OS taking the task down with an OOMkiller (out of memory killer). Typically speaking a VPS isn't well suited to processor intensive tasks.
It's not about memory, it have 16GB (enough for Monero), and I do not use max core power ( 8 ), I am using 75% ( 6 ).
It's Ubuntu and it have all it needs to mine XMR. I use the same config and miner on the other VPS and there is no problem of any kind. So it is kinda strange to me and thats why I am asking for help or solution.

I think on VPS you typically share a cpu cache with other users/VPSs, so it could be that someone else is doing something processor intensive, or that the hoster just doesn't like you using so much cpu power so they throttle the cache for you.

That's not the problem, kiklo.

If you send coins with computer 1, computer 2 does not know a possible new generated change (back) address. After some time, you have 2 different wallets with a different coin amount and many different key pairs. It ends up in chaos.
A wallet is a container for many private and public keys - like a key chain. Amount of coins is a summation of all addresses.

Just the opposite:
NXT has one private and one public key. You can use it where ever you want - simultaneously.

Or just use an electrum style deterministic wallet, and then you don't have to worry about this issue either...

Especially considering Doge, Sys, and Via are all merge mined. So, really Doged is #2 in terms on non-merged scrypt coins Shocked

Hi dNote, you are making a great job with Darknotes, do you think release the source code of gui wallet for possible implementation in others Cryptonote coins?

thanks

Yeah sure, as if he would just give the results of his hard work to other cryptocoins, that makes sense.....

I'm glad Satoshi didn't have this attitude.

Or the originators of cryptonote/bytecoin, for that matter...

NXT didn't release the source code at first. Eventually it got released, but it was closed source to begin with.

And NXT is currently valued at a little more than half of its closest competitor according to coinmarketcap.com - Bitshares, which has been open source from the start. Likewise, Monero and Bytecoin, which are completely open source, are valued at about double what Darknote is. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not...

yes but the intention of that domain name was not to be a forum so a forum was made under it.  New users could remember the easy domain name and navigate to forum with link on main page.

I dont think there is a need to move the forum from forum.monero.cc to monero.cc but a link to the forum on the monero.cc page would not hurt.


https://forum.monero.cc/20/general-discussion/159/move-this-subdomain-forum-monero-cc-to-a-full-domain-like-moneroforum-org-or-any-other-you-can-think-of

I propose to move the forum on forum.monero.cc, to a full domain name. Initially, even I was confused as to where the monero forum hosted by the core team would be, until I realized it was a subdomain"forum.monero", that was it's URL. If the forum was hosted on a full domain, it'd be much easier for newcommers to remember(and go back to), rather than a subdomain(which a lot of people aren't familiar with).



bump

I mean, it's easier for newcommers to remember a full domain, which is what they're used to. Than have to type in a sub domain. It looks better aesthetically, is easier to remember, and much more common. Even forum.bitcoin.org, was changed into this forum, bitcointalk.org

What i mean is, its probably easier and common to access a forum through a full domain, rather than a subdomain. Newusers want things as quick, and easy as possible.

Try this: http://moneroforum.org

Yeah. I just wish it would've happened maybe 2 days earlier. After an entire year of holding I got scared and dumped everything because one key person decided to delete his profile for some reason. Now I have nothing.

Over 500k xmr on the ask book. Most I've seen since the xmr market opened there. Lots of coins on polo and someones jammed a 100k ask in at 0.00225. The games begin.

Yea, I know it doesn't mean much having only one relatively small market (and a few other tinier markets like bittrex and hitbtc), but the buy/ask ratio is looking a bit shitty at the moment. 175 BTC / 500k XMR is about 0.0003 BTC/XMR Shocked
3160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [BCN] Bytecoin. Secure, private, untraceable since 2012 on: February 17, 2015, 11:06:17 AM
Today I found an interesting blog entry about the Bitmonero launch and the initial slow hash version of the miner that came from Bytecoin.
Quite interesting to know how a few made a killing from private optimizations in the Bitmonero mining for months where more than the 50% of the network.

http://da-data.blogspot.com.es/2014/08/minting-money-with-monero-and-cpu.html

This only reinforces my opinion that there few to none fair launchs in the cryptocoin world.

I don't follow Bitmonero thread and this may be a very old story but thought someone in the Bytecoin community could be interested.

Wow... 
Someone was mining Monero with 100 times faster mining program than the rest of the miners? And controlled 60% of the network hash rate at some point?

 Shocked

Yes, the author of that article is a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon Univ. In the article he accuses the original Bytecoin developers of intentionally crippling the wallet miner:
Quote
The more I looked at it, the more clear it became:  The original developers deliberately crippled the miner.  It wasn't just slow, and it wasn't just naive;  it was deliberately obfuscated and made slow by the use of completely superfluous copies, function calls, use of 8 bit pointer types, and accompanied by the most ridiculously slow implementation of the AES encryption algorithm one could imagine.

Also faking an 80% premine by suggesting it was all done on the "darkweb":
Quote
But when Bytecoin was released, it was presented as though it emerged from two years on the "dark web" (Tor onion sites and the like), during which time, 80% of the possible coins that could ever be minted, had been minted.  The reception in the cryptocurrency community was heavily skeptical.

My strong belief is that the skepticism was warranted: Here's the original slow-hash from bytecoin as it was copied into Bitmonero.  It has some doozies.  For example, on line 100, you might note that for every iteration through an inner loop repeated tens of thousands of times, the AES key is re-imported into the library.  The later loop, starting on line 113, is repeated half a million times, and is so abstracted through lots of memcpys and pointer manipulation it's hard to tell that all it really does is one round of AES encryption, a pointer dereference into a random scratchpad, a 64 bit multiplication, and another pointer dereference.  Phew.  This original code was roughly 50x slower than my final optimized code, and could have easily been used to fake two years of blockchain data on a single computer or a small cluster.  I'm pretty sure that's what happened.
