Announcement

ECC v0.2.5.2 wallet daemon has been completed and code released on the github. https://github.com/Greg-Griffith/ECCoin/releases/tag/v0.2.5.2

BEFORE YOU UPDATE PLEASE BACK UP YOUR WALLET.DAT FILE TO SOMEWHERE SAFE

Website
---------------
The new website specifically for ecc will be going live today as part of an initiative to clear up the confusion about the difference between CryptoUnited and ECC.
http://Https://ecc.network will be live within 24 hours and contain all of the download links for all of the wallets by the end of Monday 9/11/17 (docker for OSX + docker instructions might take longer)
There is no more bootstrap for the new wallet. it will take longer to download a bootstrap than it would be to sync the block headers.



ChangeLog:  https://github.com/Greg-Griffith/ECCoin/blob/master/release-notes/0.2.5.2.md
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Higher restructions prevent PoW blocks from being mined after block 1504000 after someone figured out how to mine PoW blocks again in July of 2017.
- Core upgrade from bitcoin 0.7.6 to bitcoin 0.12.1
- PoS system checking for a valid stake kernel hash completely reworked
- Syncing is now done by headers rather than blocks
- Other various small bugfixes and improvements



Known Bugs
-----------------------
- There might be an issue for some users with the wallet.dat files requiring a newer version of E-Currency Coin daemon. This can be fixed by starting the wallet with forceupgradewallet=1 set in the config file. There might also be a bug where a users balance does not show all of the coins in their wallet, this can be fixed by adding zapwallettxes=1 to the config file before starting the wallet. Neither of the previous config changes should be left in for more than 1 wallet restart.
- There is an issue with the wallet.dat thinking it is corrupted due to a bad file in the database folder. It has been reported that this can be fixed by deleting the database folder and restarting the wallet.


As always feel free to ask for support in the #support channel in slack if you need it.

For those using OSX
The wallet will be available through docker


I know if you have ever heard me talk about apple/OSX, You know i hate it. However, some of the community does use it and we (the devs/sys-admins working on ECC, myself included) are going to do our best to provide an easy way to run the wallet on OSX without forcing people to run a virutal machine or change operating systems.

We will accomplish this through the use of docker. Bless that magical whale and a special thank you to altj for making the container.

With the dockerfile we will also put out instructions in a text document and an install script for OSX users. This should allow OSX users to be able to run the wallet on their computers with the same gui as everyone else without having to change anything about their systems (except installing the docker dmg). Support will be provided to those who get stuck doing the OSX specific setup so dont worry if you dont really understand what docker is. Everything will be fully documented.

We will be moving towards an OSX build again in the future that doesnt rely on docker, but for now this is an easier way for us to get those people using OSX up and running upon release without possible week long delays.

As always feel free to ask for support in the #support channel in slack if you need it.

How to compile this on windows???

No need to compile anything, wallets will be provided as soon as the new website will go up on https://www.ecc.network. Website is expected to go up on Monday 11/09/2017 (today) at the end of the day as you can read 3 posts above...

Hello Griffith,

Thanks for the hard work you've done.

I have one question regarding the coin now that the wallet is up and running:

When will ECC be proposed for new, more popular/bigger exchanges?
Do you have a plan regarding that matter?

Anyone else having problems with the x64 windows wallet?
Tells me "Daemon not running or loading blockindex" but theres no connections.
If I type something in the debug console the command is not beeing performed.
Debug console shows no response even not for help command.

Run daemon -> ECC Gui. If it was synced 100%, wait 11 minutes

Sounds like a secret plan to prevent "normal" users from using the wallet 
I'll give it a try.
Any reasons why the daemon is seperated from the wallet?

Gryffith will fix it. To do list from Slack:

"Except for the fact that i cant spell, pretty successful launch i suppose. A lot of the complaints people have had so far are about usability with different aspects of the gui. so i will work to fix that and push out a gui update soon. the update to do list i have thus far is

Issue: No indication of staking
    Gui: needs icon to signal staking
    Daemon: needs to broadcast to the gui that staking is active if it isnt already

Issue: Error and loading messages from rpc are not displayed on gui
    Gui: add proper processing of error/loading messages
    daemon: no changes needed

Issue: Gui suggests setting a password even if one is already set
    Gui: check for walletlock with rpc commands
    Daemon: no changes needed

Issue: staking transactions show up as a sending out and a recieving instead of a mining
    Gui: needs to edit json display of coinstake tx's
    daemon: no changes needed

Issue: no way to save state and close wallet through gui interaction
    Gui: start and stop button needed to interact with daemon
    daemon: no changes needed

Issue: no auto update of daemon through gui
    Gui: add option to check for daemon updates
    daemon: no changes needed

Issue: no information about the coins currently in staking that were removed from the balance
    Gui: process json info for staking to add to home page
    daemon: add staking info for staking to getinfo or getwalletinfo

issue: no staking only unlock toggle
    Gui: no change needed
    daemon: ability to unlock for staking only

if there is anything i missed that you have found to be hard/confusing or something you would like me to make an FAQ on (or instruction page) please PM me and let me know. i know this seems like a lot of work to make a new gui when we could just use the Qt that the other wallets use but thats because we want to add a lot of stuff and features and this will scale a lot better into the future.

We know we need to add more documentation. we will be working on that and adding it to the githubs asap

Hello Guys,

I'm an ECC Supporter, nevertheless i'm a little worry about a few things.

This coin is developping since 2014 and is still very low.

- The team appear to be very very little no ? ( How many devs and other persons are working on the project ?).
- Do you think ecc payments has a real "futur" since there is other currencies like Dash, Ltc, Xmr, DGB ?
- Do you plan to reach big companies / investors in order to use ECC ?
- Do you plan tu make any rebranding ? Yeah, a rebranding can help a lot...and i'm afraid ECC ( E-Currency coin) sounds too geekly....It has been proven than a "cool name" is very important...


Please don't read my message as bad, i have 800 000 ECC and plan to hold it 2-3 years but i'm a little afraid about this coin/ambition...i'm afraid it will be only a coin for a few geek

What are your ambitions with this coin ?

Thanks a lot

Nix'
