[ANN] ECC

[BreakingDead]

We are pleased to announce that ECC now has a light wallet, based on the famous electrum protocol!

Just start Electrum-ECC, create your wallet, then send and receive ECC immediately.

No long syncing necessary!

Electrum-ECC gives users a simple wallet app (Windows, MacOs, Linux, Android) that does not need a local copy of the blockchain. Rather than the lengthy blockchain synchronization process required to sync a full node, the Electrum-ECC client securely connects to an Electrum server for all its blockchain business whilst all crypto keys are held securely on the user’s device.

The Electrum-ECC wallet is created from a seed phrase consisting of 12 random words. This means that if the user’s device is stolen or experiences unrecoverable data loss, the exact same wallet can be re-created on another device simply by entering the 12-word seed phrase. And for the ultimate in cold storage security, you can securely delete your Electrum-ECC installation with your wallet seed phrase stored in a safe place for later re-creation.

However, because the Electrum-ECC client app is not a full node, it is unable to stake and supports only payment transactions. If you wish to support ECC’s network security by staking or access future network services, you need to run a full node. You can run both but bear in mind that even with both installed on the same device, the full node and Electrum-ECC wallets remain entirely separate.

Electrum-ECC has been adapted from recent versions of the ElectrumX server and Electrum client apps for Bitcoin. It is tried and tested software with a very large community of users. Rather than fork the ElectrumX server the changes necessary to support ECC were contributed back into the ElectrumX project, which already has support for a number of other coins. You can see those changes to add ECC support here.

The client app we decided to use (there are several) was not set up for multi-coin support, so it was necessary to fork that into the ECC project:

Those of you who already upgraded the daemon to version 0.2.5.10 and are stuck on a block please download the chain using the link below.

After downloading please do this:

1. Make sure the daemon is stopped
2. Go to the eccoin directory
    On windows: C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\eccoin
    On mac: <user>/Library/Application Support/eccoin
3. Delete every file in that directory except the wallet.dat
4.  Unzip the file you downloaded into it

This fix will not work for those of you who are still in version 0.2.5.8 - you will need to upgrade. You can upgrade using Sapphire v1.0.1 but you are likely to get stuck on a loading screen, if that happens, simply restart it and then make sure you go into the settings page to confirm you have version 0.2.5.10.

Sapphire v1.0.2 will be released as soon as possible and will address this issue.

The above is very nice ... but just a copy/paste without even looking at the text.

The Daemon version on this moment is: Version 0.2.5.15  .....   https://github.com/project-ecc/eccoin/releases

The Sapphire version is: Version 1.0.3 ....   https://github.com/project-ecc/sapphire/releases

However don't expect that the problems are resolved.

Hi Brazil =)

Thank you for your alert.
My fault.. I thought the step by step from the ECC Discord was up-to-date.. so I told to  BreakingDead to simply post it here.
I'm going to explain the right way to fix that.

Anyway, good to see you around.

As everyone know, ECC is not an ICO project but a special one with innovatives concepts [cf. last medium news]. This is explaining why the current versions are a bit messy at the moment.


## Process from scratch for Windows 64 ## this is what I did before posting here
(If you already have a Sapphire/Daemon installed, rename what it needs to be, just keep in mind to save your wallet.dat).

Download the last daemon and Sapphire release:

The Daemon version on this moment is: Version 0.2.5.15   https://github.com/project-ecc/eccoin/releases
The Sapphire version is: Version 1.0.3 https://github.com/project-ecc/sapphire/releases

1/ From the unzipped folder "sapphire-v1.0.3-win64"

- Launch sapphire-v1.0.3-win64.exe to run the install
- You should have something wrong with the auto-update function, so just quit Sapphire.

2/ From the unzipped folder eccoin-0.2.5.15-win64

- Copy eccoind.exe
- Press the Windows key + R then type %Userprofile%\.eccoin-wallet and press OK
- Paste eccoind.exe within this folder
- Rename eccoind.exe to eccoind-win64.exe
- Create a .txt file, type 0.2.5.15 then save the .txt as wallet-version (wallet-version.txt)

3/ Press the Windows key + R then type %appdata% and "Ok"

- Go to the folder named eccoin then open eccoin.conf, replace the current content by the lines below then save the .conf file.

maxconnections=120
rpcuser=youruser
rpcpassword=yourpassword
addnode=68.183.97.110
addnode=81.132.89.185
addnode=109.193.65.8
addnode=67.53.135.250
rpcport=19119
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
staking=0
zapwallettxes=0

Run Sapphire and let it sync

Have you tried to follow the guide in the post above?

BTW, it didn't work for me

[anotherlateminer]

Windows
1. Go to the folder C:/Users/<yourusername>/.eccoin-wallet and remove the executable.
2. Go to https://github.com/project-ecc/eccoin/releases/tag/eccoin0.2.5.16 click on assets and download the one for your OS.
3. Unzip it and copy the executable to the .eccoin-wallet folder.
4. Rename it to eccoind-win64.exe
5. Go to C:/Users/<yourusername>/AppData/Roaming/eccoin and remove everything EXCEPT for your wallet.dat file
6. (Optinal for instant sync) Download the chain from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hHZKRVSux68dzHARc-yNcaiMU-WgB5Fm/view?usp=sharing
7. Unzip it and put both folders in the C:/Users/<yourusername>/AppData/Roaming/eccoin folder.
8. Start Lynx and wait. (Sapphire 1.0.3 isnt working with the 0.2.5.16 daemon. You will have to wait for the upcomming release of sapphire to use it with the latest daemon).

Mac
The first folder is ~/Library/Application Support/.eccoin-wallet
And the second is ~/Library/Application Support/eccoin

Works with Lynx 0.2.1 and 0.2.5.17 daemon.

ECC has been listed on txbit.io!
txbit.io/Trade/ECC/BTC
Considering recent news about CoinExchange closing it's a quite good alternative

I have been directed to this thread from MultiWalletCoin thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=752808.960)

how can I download the latest MultiWalletCoin wallet? Was there a swap / fork?

[ciberdyn]

does anyone know if this coin still has active developers behind it

[Nixeus2]

Hi,

Yes, this project is still under developpement
You can get news on the discord.

The main dev is there to help you if you need help.

I thinks this project is good and continue to support it.
Price is low, like all altcoin but there is real project behind ECC.
