[ANN] ECC

[Papilio]

If your ECC Active network connection stay Low or you suffer from a lot of disconnects in your debug log.
As usual , we can blame Microsoft, the windows firewall is a strange creature, even thru ECC seems to work without making changes to the windows firewall , it seems to cause some issues.

Some Windows users may have trouble finding active connections or only are able to keep a low number active like 2 or 4 or the Number seems to rise and fall within a few minutes, instead of staying fairly stable.

Windows :
Click start, click control panel, click Windows Firewall,
Make a note on which network is connected Home/Work or Public
Then Click on Allow a Program or feature thru Windows Firewall , click allow another program, click browse , then go to the folder with eccoin-qt.exe , select eccoin-qt.exe  , click open, click add ,
 
It should then be in the list of allowed programs with a check mark to the left and a check mark on the right side under home/work or public (you want it to be on the 1 that showed as connected), Click OK , and then reboot.

Next time you start the ECC client, your active connections can reach in the teens.

And you are good to go.

 

FYI:  Addnodes if you need them.

First of, thanks for the long response!
Although, it got worse....xD
I set up the windows firewall, but the ECC wallet was already marked as OK.
So the Firewall doesn't block it.
I added your nodes, but after a restart of the wallet, i didn't get any connections at all, so i switched back to the "old" ECCoin.conf, but after another restart, there are still no connections.. =/
So now i can't even sync my wallet.

In my house I have a router that comes from my internet provider. That router also has a firewall that has been blocking my incoming connections for a long time. When Kikio advised me to open the specific ports of my firewall I also opened them on my router...that made the difference for me. I had already opened the ports on my computer but that didn't make any difference.

I just started the ECC wallet and have more then 10 connections and it's rising

[Papilio]

Oh ok, that sound, like it could help me with my problem.
But one question, which ports do i have to open up for the ECCoin wallet?

ECC wallet  port 19118

[Griffith]

i will be pushing more commits to ECC github tonight and tomorrow

[Griffith]

actually here is the list of tested changes for the next update:

-new more efficient messaging system
-new block removal from disk to save memory
-PoS% change, it says 25% right now but thats not what it is actually doing so im going to fix it.
-some other security updates
-fix a bug where it doesn't release some memory when it closes
-some general code maintenance

only thing left to edit is block removal from disk. might need to resync to use it. still testing

Once you are finished testing, with the above changes won't this be a hard fork?
Meaning everyone should update by a certain date, if so Bleutrade & your Block explorer need to be informed.

Someone is minting hard... lot's of conflicting generations on my behalf.

Nice!

Cool...the ECC network is getting more connections all the time. I am having 20+ meaning that it's stable and people are staking all the way. Being one of the oldest PoS coins around. It has proven that ECC is a coin to stay....acceptance is around the corner

Griffith, the OP needs an update.
Is there any chance you include MWC in your future plans as an active part of your developments?

I know a lot Hero Members who have sincere interest to see this Coin rising again..

if you are a mac user you will need to compile it yourself unless someone provides me with a mac wallet.

OSX is down to less than 3% marketshare. with ubuntu working with windows to make a winix system (linux windows hybrid) i dont think OSX will be around much longer anyway


edit: someone is making a mac wallet. will post when i have it

mac wallet is up
