[ANN] ECC

OK< in realtime what happens is a stake comes in as minted, says that it has 1 confirmation and will be available after 50 confirmations, then soon after it becomes a greyed out line with a question mark symbol and the message "generated but not accepted".

Every single one of my stakes has resulted in this and not a single one has been added to my wallet, after closing & re-opening, re-scanning etc.

What do you think is going on, Griffith?  Please fix this problem with staking soon ---- it is a very important aspect of this coin and its long-term attractiveness & stability.

Here is what I see in my wallet --- the first line is the newest stake, and it becomes greyed out and unconfirmed shortly after:

same for me. Better not to think about expanding exchanges before these issues are solved.

Temporary stop forging。。。

wow someone using common sense in this thread, im confused

Refer to RDD trends, and the ECC target is 100 SAT space.

I think everyone here needs to take a deep breath and step back a bit while this is worked on. Griffith took on a project with great potential but, with lots of built in errors and problems, some not at all apparent until the wallet was back out in the wild in real numbers.

The absolute BEST thing ALL of you can do is relax and realize this won't be corrected overnight but, it will be corrected. I would suggest posting problems or errors that have not already been posted but not every little thing, that's simply annoying. The more useless stuff posted here, the more time this issue will take to resolve.

So, it's being worked on, the Dev knows about the problems and is, I'm sure, prioritizing the solutions. Lets cut him some slack shall we?

Thanks!

Good approach, RJF, but things like the bug I pointed out 6 posts above yours need to be ironed out yesterday, considering the volume & interest that this coin has gained, in order to keep that momentum going.

If people can't trust the totals in their wallets, or t hat a wallet will function on the exchange (it has been in maintenance for how many days now on coinexchange.io?) or that stakes will be accurate and accepted/added to current wallet funds within a few hours of minting, then we have a big, big problem on our hands in terms of investor confidence.

#1 problem to fix:  accurate & reliably awarded & confirmed stakes   #2 problem to fix:  stability with the pending vs available totals in the wallet, without the need to re-sync.

I agree with you there, there is a definite order of prioritization and the problems you mentioned are at the top but, just because they still exist doesn't mean they are not being addressed. I'm sure Griffith knows what is important and what is fluff. My point was mainly for folks to keep the noise level down so as not to drown out, as you stated them, problem 1 & 2 above. Trust me, I have very large stake in seeing a working wallet for this coin.

What have been corrected this week you guys make you sleep

[the-A-Man]

Downloaded and installed the new wallet, and my 5m coins are showing up as 0.00000000

I did backup my old .dat file, but when I copy past the old wallet file, to the new wallet, I get an error, telling me it can't load the Wallet.dat file.

I know my coins are still in the blockchain, and a have 2 copy's of the wallet.dat file, so I'm not freaking out or anything.

But how do I fix this?

This coin invested all my money do not believe that I lied bankrupt. Update weekend was not done scammmmmmmmmmmm

Stop being a sissy! The developer is working hard as far as we know. You need to have patience!

[the-A-Man]

UPDATE:

I restarted(rebooted) my computer, and ran the wallet again... my coins came back

Anyone with the same problem as me, try rebooting.

They do not fool people they will update on the weekend they say they will come now in july

For all those that think that there is no work done at all, you are free to follow the work that Griffith is doing here:

https://github.com/Greg-Griffith/ECCoin/commits/master

So for everyone...it's being worked on.

[altay76]

Who knows what this Greg Griffith is doing about the future of adding a video

[Jackkyy]

I think @Griffith works very hard on the project and soon everything will be fixed. Just a little patience

if you can isolate the problem and fix it, then feel free to make a pull request to the github. although i will save you some time and explain that there is no error, your stakes were just being orphaned. orphaning is a natural process in the blockchain growing.




To everyone else who has been waiting patiently (thank you btw) I guess i should explain what is taking so long.

Here's a technical explanation:
The wallet had a problem with sending messages due to a seg fault that would occur when trying to lock the critical section required to copy memory to the sending data stream which is used to actually send messages between the peers on the network. The easiest way to find an error with seg faults or mem leaks for C++ is a tool called valgrind. However valgrind takes almost 2x as much resources and runs slower than the program would by itself. so every time i made a change to a build and ran valgrind it would take between 1 and 2 hours to find out if the change actually worked. A very slow process. Assuming my latest change actually fixes the problem (and based on the pthread_mutex documentation found here: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/mutex/mutex/  i have a feeling i did fix the problem by forcing an unlock on deconstruction) people running daemons can upgrade tonight and UI users should be able to update by wednesday.

Not technical explaination:
In short, sending messages would sometimes cause the wallets to crash and it was a big problem.

During the week i do work a full time job as a software engineer, so work with commute does take up about 9 hours of my day. During the week days i only can come home and work on this coin for 3 or so hours before i have to do other life stuff and go to bed early enough that i can get up the next day.

Please stop asking if the exchange is closing down or stealing coins, they were offline by instruction until i could figure out how to solve this error.

I understand it is taking longer to get some stuff done than people want but i only have so much time during the day and these changes that are separating out ECC from the other coins will be worth it in the long run. Obviously there is more work to be done. Next we will be putting out GUIs for users and then i will finally have a chance to update the website.

Thank you those of you who have come together on slack and helped to rebuild the front end for the website and those of you who are helping to contribute to the electron UI github that will be used for the coin for the future.




We know there are issues that need to be solved. There are 6 or 7 people now working on code to fix all of them.
