I'm trying to sync the latest version under ubuntu since days. Bitcoin: ProcessBlock: ORPHAN BLOCK 577, prev=000000000000000049573b24beef7e594f41b9ef556e250f2c59ef0f090a479e ERROR: Bitcoin: AcceptToMemoryPool : nonstandard transaction: non-final log is full with stuff like that.. Both are perfectly normal. The first one just says that it received a block it cannot currently connect to the main chain. This happens if some blocks are missing to link it to the main chain and happens quite often. The second row means someone tried to send a transaction that wasn't accepted by the wallet/client. hm...strange. I have the feeling that it doesn't really make any progress. Normally, I can see the blocks that are processed in the debug log, but now there are just the mentioned messages. However, I will wait another day or two, maybe it finally finishes.

bitcoin chain is stuck @ block 280006 since the problem appeared which means, it's stuck like that since at least 1,5 days.

I believe another user had an error similar to that, when trying to build on linux from source of the new version, and also occasionally when on a fresh sync (also linux) I suggest downloading the torrent file and initializing the blockchains from there, It's faster and saves you the time of waiting for fixed release

It is like Greydon writes, the problem occurs when you: 1. Build from source on linux 2. Download the chains from scratch It is a known problem in earlier version of Bitcoin, and the Bitcoin internal version running in Credits it 0.9.1. It probably have something to do with the openssl version. I'll create a fix for this issue by disabling the validation of the offending blocks in the Bitcoin chain. I'll post here as soon as it's done, probably in a couple of days.There are three (four) ways around the problem: 1. Use one of the official Linux releases 2. Use the torrent provided here: http://credits-currency.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=5173. Build a release version by ourself by following the instructions for creating releases: https://github.com/credits-currency/credits/blob/master/doc/release-process.md4. Wait until i can add exceptions to the code base to get around the problem. This will take a couple of days. Building a releases version is done by building it on a VirtualBox virtual Linux instance. It can be done on any operating system that supports VirtualBox.

A fix for the problem you have been experiencing has been merged into master. Just pull the latest changes from master, and rebuild and the problem should be solved. If you want to be perfectly safe, rename the old working directory to Credits_old and let the wallet create a completely new Credits directory.

Nice work gabe, I'm still tweaking security on the BTC-CRE exchange on Creditsdice.com, but there should be a way to buy CRE and sell within the week!

Just a few observations.
The 9.1.60 wallet works great. It syncs fast and the footprint is much smaller than previous releases.
I am now using the Credits wallet as my main bitcoin wallet. I haven't had any issues sending and receiving bitcoin from the Credits wallet. I still keep a bitcoin node running and the bulk of my bitcoin in an offline wallet and will continue to do so. I have been keeping a bitcoin node running and my main bitcoin wallet offline for some time. I do it so I have rapid access to my bitcoin. But the Credits wallet is what I have been using for the last month for bitcoin transactions. It's been working out just fine.
I'm still mining off and on and will continue to do so. Everything for this coin is in place and has been done in a very professional manner.
So with that said I would like to give the dev and others kudos for a job well done.

Thanks for the kind words Shojay, we hope you stick around Also, great news that you haven't had any issues regarding the client! I've been using it as a bitcoin wallet myself, too! We're still working on getting more services in place, including pools and exchange options. Cheers!

Took me about 15 minutes to sync. Not that fast if you ask me.

The wallet does have to sync two blockchains. Credits and Bitcoin. It would be nice if the sync time was faster. But for now it is a little slow.

Thank you very much for those kind words! Much appreciated. Sorry for the late reply, been off for holidays the last three days. There are quite exciting things coming up soon so keep an eye on this space!

Was the vacation worth it?

hey guys, just noticed something with the wallet after falling 30 hours behind, it seems to me like the 2 wallets are fighting with each other to get up to date. therefore is it possible for the bitcoin wallet to update itself first and once that is done the credits one can update, or maybe the other way round... i've been sat here for half an hour now waiting to start my mining up again
oh and the block explorer is down again

Block explorer up again. The two chains are not exactly fighting to do updates but they can not update at the same time, so when you are receiving a block from one of them, blocks from the other chain will have to wait. As a rule of thumb, if the Bitcoin blockchain is too far behind, the Credits blockchain will wait for Bitcoin to become up to date. 30 minutes sounds like a long time to get synced for 30 hours though... Can you see blocks arriving in debug.log?

UPDATE:There now exists a method to BUY CRE WITH BTC and SELL CRE FOR BTC!CreditsDice.com now has an option to deposit Bitcoin, mixing the BTC into CRE at the given price listed on the front page. You can also withdraw Bitcoin, which is processed at the highest "site offer" price, which is 9/10 of the listed price. The price of a Credit is dynamic with this method, and will go up with deposits and down with withdrawals! This should give us a nice idea of how much a CRE is worth, too! The starting price on CreditsDice.com is 0.001 BTC/CRE, so come check it out If you have any questions, feel free to reply here, on CreditsDice, or PM me! I plan on making a new thread to promote CD regardless, so you might find me there. Cheers, Greydon

Some info on development and an overview roadmap
A big effort on improving the client on several key areas is currently ongoing. These key areas are: - Reduced disk footprint - Speed improvements, blockchain parsing and indexing - Stability The development has come quite far and bug testing is ongoing. I will not give any figures here but substantial further savings in all areas can be expected. Watch this space for more info.
Once this next release is out the following areas will be addressed, in the order listed:
1. Decentralised exchange, built into the client. After investigations I've come to the conclusion that Credits is extremely well suited for implementing so called atomic swapping, which will enable a built in, decentralised exchange, directly within the wallet and with no middle man.
2. Pool integration and improved deposit functionality. This has two purposes, apart from getting pooled mining in place. The first is to automate the deposit process once deposits are larger than the reward. The second is enabling miner and depositor collaboration.
3. Integrating newer Bitcoin functionality into Credits. We are currently a few versions behind and it is quite important to get improvements that have been done to the Bitcoin codebase into Credits as well.
More info to come in the following days.
