Hey Guys,

While yesterday I had the wallet working but couldn't unlock for staking, today I'm having trouble making it work.
Installed the latest version, working good, but as it will take forever to catch up, I downloaded the snapshot, and after following the instructions, when loading the wallet it is just stuck on ' loading block index'

Any advice on how to make it work?

how long takes a pos block? i will send some coins

Just be patient....as it says it's loading the block index, it take some time because of it's big size...so everything is fine.

Succes!

Hi Griffith ---- this is a very minor detail in the longrun, but to prospective investors, it is important that every 'i' be dotted and every 't' be crossed.

When you get the chance, could you please correct the typo in your 2017 roadmap image under the Blockchain & Messaging section?  It currently reads:

"ON-CHAIN MESSAGING AND EMAIL WILL E ADDED AFTER FILE STORAGE"

Please fix the typo of 'e' instead of 'be' so that it reads:

"ON-CHAIN MESSAGING AND EMAIL WILL BE ADDED AFTER FILE STORAGE"


Minor details like this turn away some investors, as silly as that sounds, because they get scared away thinking that there is a lack of attention to detail by the dev team.

Very minor thing but just something I'd recommend

Let me share a story with all of you [Sarcastic mode ON] to show how ECC is a scam and Griffith is a Bad Dev:[Sarcastic mode OFF]

Yesterday i was worried with safety, as if you unlock your wallet for stacking, it would be open for sending payments also, and if someone took over your computer (by presence or remotely) could just send coins for himself and you would be done...

Because of that risk, i decided to keep wallet offline, and that would not help the network, or i would get ant minted coins.

Talk about that with Greg Griffith.

Few minutes later he tells me that he is compiling new wallet and adding function where you could unlock wallet for staking purposes, but to send coins, would ask for password, adding more security.
In less than half an hour tells me to download new wallet, and help me to solve few hiccups that were happening.

Well...

[Sarcastic mode ON]How scammy is that? Does Dev cares for community? I will let you decide on that[Sarcastic mode OFF]

Edit: Due to some misunderstanding to the real objective of this message, i am editing it to make more clear my position.
        I am total supporter of ECC since i studied it more deeply almost 2 months ago. I started buying at 1 sat, even when few people were doing it and im holding it.
        If anyone have doubts regarding my position, just read my posts and what i write in Slack or even trollbox.

        Hope it is clear now that my real intention with this post was to in a sarcastic way, towards those who claim ECC is scam, show what kind of Dev we have, by sharing one great experience i had.

[JacquesLeGrande]

So he helped you out, what is scammy about that?
It was fast? Well some changes don't require a lot of coding. Also, he might have been reported or familiar with these issues beforehand, and already working on them.
unless you are being sarcastic. I dont get sarcasm

It is sarcasm and it doesn't achieve anything good here.

LOL --- yes, at first I thought he was serious as well, but then I understood the sarcasm in his post.

What he meant to demonstrate with his story is that the dev, Griffith, is very dedicated to this project and rapidly responding to bugs & hard at work on its development.

I've just upgraded to the latest wallet and it is great --- sync time is improved and added security now while staking.

Highly encourage all to upgrade to the latest wallet and to keep up to date as new versions as implemented.

Thanks again to Griffith for the great work and fast response to issues as they arise.

The same logo of old ECC on that exchange.
Im wondering where can I sold 5m ecc coins that I have in my wallet........As I knew, this is the same dev for this two coins. What is hapening?

[dhimport]

Need Help Here.

I have old wallet of ECC and was not aware, there was new direction in development in other way. What am I suppose to do now?

Should I download new wallet and restore old wallet into new? Where is the new wallet?

Please help me suggest here..

download new wallet. run a rescan. sync with the chain. and your coins should all still be there.

Installed the wallet, sent 100 ECC. The amount still not showing up 40 minutes later. Wallet sync via boostrap. Only 1 peer connection available and I already restarted the wallet. Any ideas?

hmm... add some addnodes to your config. maybe restarting the wallet will help if you have a low connection count

Hope you improve this because how am I supposed to find nodes? I used the ones provided on the first page of this thread and that didnt help at all. You are the developer and with all due respect, kindly help out, the wallet should at least have some kind of primitive stability that allows non-devs to use it without having to post messages like mine. My opinion of course

[JacquesLeGrande]

can everyone please stop selling now. You are bringing the price down, and it can keep going up a lot more. just be patient. with the rates this was going, if it hadnt been for the huge sell out today, we would've been at 60-80 satoshis by now. so keep calm and hold for a few days.

Just some standard shaking out of the weak hands and selling by those short-termers who got in early.  The price is already back above 30 sat after lingering at 20 sat for a little while.  Was an amazing buying opportunity --- I picked up more at 21 sat.

Rule #1 about investing in a small but rising altcoin ---- DON'T CHECK THE PRICE MINUTE-BY-MINUTE!!!!  You will be driven mad and almost certainly shaken out due to nerves and will miss the huge spikes up when they occur.  Just use the pullbacks & dips as buying opportunities, if resources permit.

Dammn, people! What's wrong with you?  

I see a lot in trollbox, and so (not that it counts for anything - they are just trolling and fudding) that ECC is scam and i used a well pronounced sarcasm, sharing true story to show that ECC is NOT SCAM and Griffith is a DEDICATED DEV, and you don't get it??? WTF?

Maybe now is explicit enough?
Even if i wanna buy cheaper coins, i do not use FUD to make it happen.

Yes, JacquesLeGrande. Jut to be clear, I was being sarcastic and i was sharing this to show how committed Griffith is with ECC development

How does the PoS stake work?  Some questions...

1)  How much time do you need to contribute to receive stakes?  How often are stakes paid out? 

2)  What is the typical stake size?  Does having a larger wallet increase the size of the stake you receive?

3)  What happens if you close your wallet overnight, then re-open?  Is your network time contribution saved or does it reset each time you open/close/re-open the wallet?

Managed to get it working and syncing but I still cannot see any box for unlocking wallet for staking.
Am I looking at the wrong spot? Please guide me...

Hey Guys,

While yesterday I had the wallet working but couldn't unlock for staking, today I'm having trouble making it work.
Installed the latest version, working good, but as it will take forever to catch up, I downloaded the snapshot, and after following the instructions, when loading the wallet it is just stuck on ' loading block index'

Any advice on how to make it work?

how long takes a pos block? i will send some coins

With the latest wallet, click 'Settings' and then click 'Unlock'.  Check the box for 'Only Unlock for Staking' and then enter your password.  Do that everytime you close and re-open the wallet.
