Slimcoin | First Proof of Burn currency | Decentralized Web

[gavrilo77]

The failure is repeatable. I use this version:
https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin/releases/tag/SLMv0.6.0
version 0.6.0.0-g8e9fe2c-alpha

This version has coin control and addnode. I'm missing dumpwallet to export all private keys.

Symptom: start the program and let it create a new wallet. Send some coins into this new wallet. Then try so forward all or some of this coins, and it fails.

Can you upload blockchain for v0.6? I want to try it

never did this prepare. Perhaps somebody can give me an upload server.

www.mega.nz

database
blk0001.dat
blkindex.dat

I do not trust them. I need to create an account, I believe. And they are spying on their users, I believe.

Well i dont know about it, as almost 90% files are shared trough Mega

I've noticed something similar. In my case when I sync the blockchain with a wallet.dat and then I substitute that wallet.dat with another wallet.dat some transaction even if they are visible on the slimcoin-qt are as if the synced info are not enough to make the payment. To solve I usually keep an old version of blockchain (non synchronized for a lot of time), so I synchronize that one with the wallet.dat I need to use and then I'm able to move my funds. It's as if the slimcoin-qt (or slimcoind) isn't downloading all the info of the blockchain while synchronizing, but only those that have to do with the keys of the wallet.dat of the moment.

I'll create an updated snapshot for you on a server you don't need to register.

Thanks, I have all blockchains in full, gavrilo does need one.

Ops, that's true

UPDATE:
A very privacy friendly solution: strmgtmm3ritu476.onion/datadir.zip - this is a fresh snapshot of the SLM's blockchain loaded on an .onion site (viewable using Tor browser only).
This blockchain snapshot is from slimcoind compiled with berkley db4.8 (dunno whether it's relevant).
If my guess about how Slimcoin v0.6 blockchain synchronizing works is right this snapshot might solve the issue of @PeterColumboFalk as well.

now i syncing v6 from link given by gavrilo
then i will try import privkeys from v5 wallet
the target is amount of burnt coins and balance are match

I think you cant use blockchain from v5 to v6. You will get the error

i did it - there is no error in v6 with 3 privkeys imported from v5
but balance - 5342, net burnt coins - 13324, effective burnt coins - 5856 instead of old wallet - 16758, 19804, 7819 respectively
and the same shit in v5 new wallet with these privkeys !
wtf ?

Did you try to scan wallet? From tool, check wallet or repair wallet

Try with the fresh snapshot I've published above, if not just delete all except slimcoin.conf and wallet.dat in your .slimcoin folder and re-sync the whole blockchain again. To avoid deleting something that shouldn't be deleted you can just rename your .slimcoin folder and restart slimcoin-qt.

1. which version of wallet do you mean ?
2. i want to try all possible variants, but on linux
could someone help me with compiling both v5 & v6 versions ? with step-by-step instructions

On this link you have 0.6 and 0.5 https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin/releases/

Compiling of 0.5 (i compiled it successfully). I dont know if it is the same for 0.6:

sudo apt-get install git build-essential libssl-dev libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libboost-all-dev qt5-qmake libqt5gui5 qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libqt5dbus5
cd Slimcoin
cd src
make -f makefile.unix

My snapshot is referring to v6.

Which Linux do you have?

I compile v6 slimcoind on ubuntu18.04 using the following command (it's one single command just copy-paste all together in your terminal, it should work):

Code:

apt-get -y update && apt-get -y upgrade && apt-get -y install \
software-properties-common dirmngr apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates lib32z1-dev wget && \
add-apt-repository --yes ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin && \
apt-get -y update && apt-get -y upgrade && apt-get -y install \
libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev software-properties-common nano libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libevent-dev libzmq3-dev build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev && \

wget https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin/archive/SLMv0.6.0.tar.gz && \
tar -xvzf SLMv0.6.0.tar.gz && \
mv Slimcoin-SLMv0.6.0 Slimcoin && \
cd Slimcoin/src && \
make -f makefile.unix && \
apt-get -y clean && apt-get -y autoremove && apt-get -y autoclean && \
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

If you need slimcoin-qt instructions please let me know I'll need some time to gather the instructions together.

i have 18.04.5 server with gui
gavrilo77 instruction not work (v0.5)
will try your

upd

it compiles slimcoind only, not gui wallet ?

upd

If you need slimcoin-qt instructions please let me know I'll need some time to gather the instructions together.

yes please

upd

anyway, with the same conditions v5 stops with error, v6 compile are ok
waiting for qt instructions for more detailed investigation

[gjhiggins]

If you need slimcoin-qt instructions please let me know I'll need some time to gather the instructions together.

yes please

See the section Slimcoin-qt: Qt5 GUI for Slimcoin Build instructions, in the file "readme-qt.rst" in the Slimcoin repos doc directory.

In summary: (for Ubuntu Bionic):

sudo apt-get install git build-essential qttools5-dev-tools qt5-default libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
    libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
    libssl-dev libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev qrencode

git clone https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin.git
cd Slimcoin
git checkout master
qmake
make

I've just confirmed (for myself) that the above (verbatim, copy'n'pasta) results in a successful compilation on Ubuntu 18.04.
 
Cheers

[gjhiggins]

If trying command "addnode", I get the answer "Method not found (code -32601)". command "help" does not list a command "addnode".
...
My wallet has no coin control, it's important to me. As I remind, wallet version 0.6.0, that I tried before, had coin control.

That's because Slimcoin 0.5.0 is (via Peercoin) a clone of Bitcoin 0.6.3 beta - yes it really is that old - see the Slimcoin README where it discusses 0.6.3 BETA.

The coincontrol facility and addnode RPC-API command were added much later to Bitcoin. Fortunately I was able to copy the former from a later version of Peercoin and back-port the latter from Bitcoin. That's why they're in Slimcoin v0.6 and not in (the original) Slimcoin v0.5

Are you testing Graham's instructions above?

yes, it works with v6 only, compiling v5 still breaks with error
now i started sync from zero then i will try again import my privkeys
if all ok, i will forget for v5

upd

which upnp port slimcoin uses ? "map port using upnp" option has no effect on my router automatically

very problematic coin   

version 5 has subversions
for Graham's instruction here is v5-268
i have v5-232 on windows and seems like my wallet.dat and blockchain are compatible with 232 only
how to compile 232 ?
i wouldn't ask so many questions if I didn't have so many burnt coins that I don't want to lose
which, apparently, are not supported even in different versions of the 5 release, especially in the 6

[johnwhitestar]

Unfortunately that's quite true at the moment. Things need to be improved here.

You don't have to apologize if there is an issue we need to find a solution so thank you for your questions and for not giving up.

i have v5-232 on windows and seems like my wallet.dat and blockchain are compatible with 232 only
how to compile 232 ?

You are not able to dump your private keys from version 232, right?

no, i dumped they all
but after importing i have lesser balance, etc (see above)
in the same OS, same blockchain, same version v5-232
new thing is only wallet.dat

[johnwhitestar]

no, i dumped they all

Hm, is it possible that some of your private keys wasn't dumped?

i want to create new wallet.dat, how to know all addresses in old one ? here is "getaddressesbyaccount <account>" command, what should be in <account> ?

Type getaddressesbyaccount ""

this command returned 3 addresses
i dumped it and imported again in fresh wallet
result is above

Have you checked that with the same command your new wallet returns the same results? (sorry I'm asking it's just to be 100% sure I've understood it right)
