Hi guys,
I’m new to ECC and I’ve been trying to get the ECC wallet setup on a MAC. Apologies if I’m overlooking anything here…
First download of ECC Coin Qt 5.7.1 wallet
Ok, here’s the problem…
All seemed to install ok, except the wallet will not sync. It just states ‘out of sync’ I could not refresh with the little terminals icon in the bottom right hand corner either (it has a little red x).
I found this thread with these instructions...
The fastest way to sync is to download the bootstrap here
https://www.cryptounited.io/downloads/ecc/ecc_bootstrap.zipThis bootstrap will contain the complete ECCoin folder, but is without wallet.dat
How to use:
1.) rename your ECCoin map to ECCoin2 - User->Library->Application Support ->ECCoin
2.)unpack ECCoin-bootstrap-12-06.17.zip and rename the unpacked map ECCoin
3.)Put the map in Application Support (Mac) or ApplicationData (Windows) User->Library->Application Support
4.)Copy your wallet.dat from ECCoin2 into ECCoin
5.) Start the wallet
6.) If necessary do a repairwallet in the console of the wallet.
Followed the instructions as per the MAC version…
Now, when I try and run the ECC wallet it hangs on the big square banner with: ‘Loading block index’ Then…
Error loading blkindex.dat
Hit ‘ok’ and the wallet closes down.
Rename the folder ECCoin-2 back to ECCoin, and I’m back to square 1. Something not right in the bootstrap directory.
Also, you mention a console, I cannot see any console tab in the wallet.
I’m not impressed, especially seeing all the other issues people are having. It seems to be over complex just to get this wallet set up. This has taken a huge amount of time so far to try and get working and anyone who’s not that tech savvy would have no chance. Please any advice very welcome. Thank you all very much.
