Sling. BTX, Crave have the same issue.  That pull request was not merged into Bitcoin but another one was and think it fixes the blockchain downloading problems:  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3514/commits

The fix adds functions to main.cpp to better handle block downloading:

• MarkBlockAsReceived
• AddBlockToQueue
• MarkBlockAsInFlight

    

I tried the first pull request on BTX and it helps.  In the process of trying the latter but will take a few days (more complicated than the first proposed fix and consists of many commits). The new code keeps track of block requests and doesn't request the same block unless certain conditions.

The current 8-Bit code (like the other coins) does NOT keep track of block requests and if a node is lagging, it can cause a retransmit and dup block.  Also, too many orphan blocks are put in memory and this causes the wallet to hang or crash.

Seems like it's a rare issue I occur on one of my low end boxes (OOM). I did not combined block dups with orphan drama as I tweaked some orphan limits in source code what did not help much. Let's see if this one will, thanks.

I for one am MUCH less concerned about this, then getting some direction for this coin and moving it forward again!

low end cpu crash when orphans set low, higher set: no crash but time waisted, maybe stuck/ restart
temp fix is to set only connection to vps seed.

 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3514/commits messed things more before later code using headers first

News: Latest stable version of Bitcoin Core: 0.11.1 [Torrent] Upgrade now -- contains important security/DoS fixes!

add masterdoge bananas and many more to this list.
maybe bittcredits

No way in hell.

All those coins basically cloned Crave , which was lifted directly off my first BN commit. While it was an impressive diff job, the Crave dev failed to take into consideration that he was transplanting 0.10.x base to a 0.8.x base that was tweaked.

PoS code is always behind PoW, so some things that i could take for granted when i made BCR needed more attention in a PoS coin. My advice would be, take your time and do a complete upgrade of the codebase to meet 0.11.x base, it will solve most of the problems you have no , including sync times.

3. MTR... This offer was on table for very long. Not sure it is still valid. But anyway community does not seem to welcome that offer enough, so it is not the best one to pursue...

Forget about it. MTR is in big trouble (network was successfully 51% attacked, constant delisting warnings because of no volume and so on). Although, yes, that guy really needs our money.

<MasterTrader777> Well I'm the dev of MTR.
<MasterTrader777> can you please read this reply I made to another dev looking to help me...It lists a few things I wish to do with MTR wallet.
<MasterTrader777> wondering if you could provide input, and if so what is your cost to help with such tasks.
<MasterTrader777> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=954240.msg12477976#msg12477976
<MasterTrader777> The main issue now, its ever since MTR broke 200K blocks...the blockchain download speed in the wallet has been too slow for comfort.
<MasterTrader777> I want to change this, and I understand how to change it..but I don't code, haven't coded 1 line throughout this whole project from the start...its just been me using interpersonal skills to drive this puppy home...A true go-getter.
<MasterTrader777> Call me a project manager with the vision and my feet on the peddle but other devs holding the wheel for me.
<Mutsumi> so... pregened...
<MasterTrader777> no way bro
<MasterTrader777> I paid $1500 for this build.
<MasterTrader777> I have the latest QT5 wallet that I just released with a new look and integrated ToshiDesk right into the wallet.
<Mutsumi> that still means... pre-gened... and that you think throwing money at things will make you rich...
<MasterTrader777> No way, I deff don't think that.
<MasterTrader777> I put out way more money than I ever made on this
<MasterTrader777> its about the love of the hustle with this...I don't expect to ever become ROI positive on this project for many years.
<MasterTrader777> and I don't have alot of money to throw at this project anymore..I already spent over $20K in development of MTR and ToshiDesk.
<Mutsumi> people get stuck in their ways trying to tell people they are in it for the long run,
<MasterTrader777> ? Elaborate.
<MasterTrader777> I'm not here trying to sell you on anything..Just asking for help.
<fuzzyhobbit> MasterTrader777: one moment
<MasterTrader777> ok thanks =)
<MasterTrader777> Here is the source - https://github.com/CrypticApplications - I would beg to differ that its pregenned, but maybe I'm wrong.
<fuzzyhobbit> MasterTrader777: it's using pretty dated code
<fuzzyhobbit> you need someone to rebase it on a newer version of bitcoin
<MasterTrader777> Oh wow, I really didn't know. I thought we were pretty updated. How far am I off?
<fuzzyhobbit> looks like bitcoin 0.8.x
<fuzzyhobbit> several major versions behind
<fuzzyhobbit> lots of improvements have been made to more efficiently propagate the blockchain, etc.
<fuzzyhobbit> some pretty major security stuff too
<humanos> be careful  with rebasing though , always read the code, no copy-paste, you might lose some functions you would have wanted to keep
<MasterTrader777> I see so we look pretty dated. Thanks for that input.
<MasterTrader777> What sort of labor hours would go into Rebasing?
<humanos> A LOT
<humanos> rebasing BCR both times took 3 full days work
<fuzzyhobbit> it would be difficult to find someone capable/willing to do it
<MasterTrader777> Understood.
<Mutsumi> hm. That sees to fit the bil l of a pre-gened coin...
<MasterTrader777> This coin was created about 7 months ago...
<fuzzyhobbit> yeah, that makes sense then
<MasterTrader777> Yea it was the most new and stable version of Bitcoin when it was made.
<fuzzyhobbit> ehhh
<MasterTrader777> Since then I've updated the wallet to QT5- but know it still needs work.
<MasterTrader777> So Rebase would be something to look into...
<MasterTrader777> what about the comments I made on that reply to the Grainite Coin dev?
<MasterTrader777> Coin was actually made in Jan.
<fuzzyhobbit> the stuff you want seems possible, but time consuming
<MasterTrader777> Yea, I was told the recode of the QT functions to improve the blockchain download speed via broadcasting the bootstrap would take about 3 days.
<MasterTrader777> The coinomi build would be about a week with Testing. - I was told.
<fuzzyhobbit> lol
<MasterTrader777> At first glance what issues do you see needing the "most" attention?
<fuzzyhobbit> guess who's one of the developers of coinomi?
<MasterTrader777> I'd have to guess you?
<fuzzyhobbit> yeah
<MasterTrader777> Wow, awesome. Yea I spoke to some of the devs in email back and forth for a week...He ended up approving me for the GitHub access with everything step by step to do it...
<MasterTrader777> The APK build I was told is a good part of the work load. I also see Ruby Coin on Coinomi...so I figure you understand it well.
<MasterTrader777> What type of time frame are you thinking for such a build for MTR?
<fuzzyhobbit> rebasing your coin is the solution to your blockchain speed troubles
<fuzzyhobbit> not any qt functions
<fuzzyhobbit> anything else is just a band-aid that probably won't work anyways
<fuzzyhobbit> it's up to whoever you're working with to push the changes to coinomi and we will include it in the next build
<fuzzyhobbit> your developer will have to submit the changes and then we include it in the next build
<fuzzyhobbit> we occasionally add coins ourselves, but they are usually high demand, high market cap, highly traded
<MasterTrader777> Could I pay you to add it?
<MasterTrader777> MTR isn't traded that heavily yet...but the potential is certainly there.
<MasterTrader777> We put over 800 hours into ToshiDesk already.
<MasterTrader777> Just wrapping up with the ETNA charting module build...and have over 600 markets on it...adding more is simple at this point.
<MasterTrader777> Getting on Coinomi will help me get in the door with ShapeShift.
<fuzzyhobbit> shapeshift won't even add rubycoin
<MasterTrader777> Then all Users will be able to pay for ToshiDesk using any currency they want ( hosted within Shapeshift )
<fuzzyhobbit> you know about coinomi's in wallet exchanging? it uses shapeshift
<MasterTrader777> I have Stripe / American Express / Bitcoin / MTR / Credit Cards / currently as a payment option.
<MasterTrader777> Yea I know it uses ShapeShift.
<MasterTrader777> but...
<MasterTrader777> I thought your coin needed to be included within ShapeShifts hosted coins for that to work...
<MasterTrader777> Honestly...that part confused me....but you see were I want to drive...just need better directions is to how that in wallet exchanging works.
<fuzzyhobbit> yeah, if a coin isn't on shapeshift then the in-wallet exchanging won't work
<MasterTrader777> Yea thats what I thought...It was a tease when reading...lol
<MasterTrader777> I appreciate the dev chat...It might not mean much to you..but I certainly gain from it.
<fuzzyhobbit> np
<MasterTrader777> I figure Coinomi is atleast an attempt to get closer to shapeshift.
<MasterTrader777> I contact ShapeShift monthly.
<MasterTrader777> I speak to Emily...she always knows its me too.lol
<fuzzyhobbit> MarketCap Rubycoin position: 32, cap_USD: 1061121.97199, cap_BTC: 4598.69085807, MoneySupply: 22259557, price_usd: 0.0476704, price_btc: 0.000206594
<fuzzyhobbit> they still haven't added ruby
<MasterTrader777> I blow up the thread weekly...
<MasterTrader777> I hear bugging them helps.
<MasterTrader777> I also heard they have this certain email they give out to purposely have people spam ask for addition
<MasterTrader777> It pisses me off..because TRON got added...and now its dead. It was a scam from the get go too.
<fuzzyhobbit> opal got added too
<fuzzyhobbit> then removed a few weeks later
<MasterTrader777> Yea. The Opal Dev went on a fudding spree for weeks in my thread...little 14 year old kid.
<fuzzyhobbit> they used to be rubycoin fans
<fuzzyhobbit> then decided to create their own gem
<MasterTrader777> I was trying to get MTR on the SuperNet...I added everyone in the slack to my thread...
<fuzzyhobbit> and then rubycoin shot up to 1mil+ market cap without them
<MasterTrader777> it only pissed 50% of them off..lol
<MasterTrader777> Yeah you guys are doing well.
<MasterTrader777> Congratz.
<fuzzyhobbit> thank much appreciated!
<fuzzyhobbit> thanks*
<fuzzyhobbit> MasterTrader777: https://coinomi.com/AddingSupportForANewCurrency/
<fuzzyhobbit> bookmark it, has all the info needed to get added
<MasterTrader777> Thanks!

that is it.
said as clear as it can be said.

as i looked also limx has greater code base..
but hexxcoin have even more problems, and that is why we will swap out of this.
swap code is ready and under testing.. cant release it without to be sure..

Bittrex - (8 bit) This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on October 30th unless the average daily trade volume for the last 7 days exceeds 0.2 BTC.

It is big problem

It is certainly a big problem... With a week to fix it... Sooo, all of my ranting isn't going to fix this... At this point, either we are dumping into another coin, or 8-bit-party is going to commit to doing something... If not... well... guys... Whatever you've sunk into 8bit is about to become worthless unless we can get off our collective asses and make something worth buying.  I've said with prices so low, if we can generate a solid direction, and committed timetables for said goals (with a big announcement!), interest shouldn't be too hard to come by... But, I'm not that kind of coder... I can't do this myself... guys? Bueller? Bueller? Fry? 
Come on! There's so much to be gained here.... really.

Well, going to get a beer, I think that's the first thing.  After that, I don't know

[BARR_Official]

I would be open for a swap to a totally new coin or a swap with value close to .00005000 per coin to get a dev.

BARR can afford to swap the entire 8BIT supply, on a voluntary basis for each user.  Let us know if you're interested.

I don't have the BTC to dump into 8bit and fix things (we need to generate basically $600 in volume at current BTC/USD prices)...

Soooo, In an effort to generate some volume on Bittrex, I have started "playing the gap", and I suggest you do the same.  Meaning, both buy and sell small amounts (or large ones) just above the ask price and just below the bid price... If this works out (meaning, if enough of you play as well), we'll all make a tidy little profit in both BTC and 8bit, we'll keep the coin on the exchange, we'll drive the price up, annnnd hopefully generate some additional interest in the coin from investors and maybe even coders...

Well folks, I'm doing what I can, let's see what we can do!

PS - If some whale wants to just start buying massive amounts of 8bit, I guess that'll work too!
