i did what u said i am getting this error

i downloaded this file http://evergreencoin.org/729617snap.zip

and delete these files n folders

Then Delete 4  files :  .lock & blk0001.dat & db.log & debug.log
Then Delete 2 folders named : database & txleveldb

and unzip that files n folders
...

Hi shadabhmed, sorry for the slow response, I was away from my desk.

I did test the snapshot locally and it did work as expected. The steps you mentioned do sound correct. I am doing some additional testing now to see if I can isolate a problem. Again, sorry for the slow response and for the issue you are experiencing.

dont worry bro i understand u.
and i dont think ur reponse is slow.

and bro i downloaded this file

EverGreencoinBlockChainSnapShot-2016-09-05.rar

and its working but the problem is it is too old.

Many thanks,  kiklo!

So the community is aware, the EverGreenCoin wallet does also support "staking=0"  in the evergreencoin.conf file to disable staking. This works both for an encrypted and unencrypted wallet.

hi all ...

if all goes well - we should have 12 seednodes up and running by tomorrow afternoon ( gold coast - queensland - australia time ) and a total of 16 from the cwi network fully functional ...

always in contact with steven - always working together - always keeping an eye on whats happening ...

we will strengthen this backbone - one full node at a time - one constantly running daemon at a time - one open wallet at a time ...

together - we make good on the strength that is the community and network that keeps this project moving forward ...

have some patient - and hope that everything works out with the compilations and the syncs ... we really are doing our best to keep up ...

and of course you have an awesome dev overseeing all this ...

#crysx

Hi crysx,

    This is pretty great!  Thank you so much.
    The new nodes will help a great deal towards consensus.

    Checkout the latest commits to the repository for patches to enable Position Independent Executable builds, for hardening, if you are so inclined.

hi chicago ...

i just did ... nice work mate ...

i decided to recompile with your changes to the test node - and its all working exceedingly well ... its the only system that has these latest changes ... and this is after all the seednodes were compiled to 1.4.0.0 ... so tanx a heap for the extra work that i now have to do for all the seednodes ... ...

steven was having a bit of a giggle when he was telling me about the changes - and also suggested i wait before the full upgrade to the latest for all the seednodes ... so im lucky its only the single test node im upgrading ... hehehe ...

the seednodes - this is somethign that has been discussed and im sure steven will be bringing to attention when he has the tiem ...

but for now - i can mention that the seednodes that were originally slated are no longer 12 - they are in total 18 currently - with tthe provision to go to a full 25 when the other systems are provisioned ...

further to that - when the deal with the isp is complete - they will all be located in separate datacenters - globally ... which means that ALL the cwi seednodes for granite - ozziecoin - evergreencoin - berncash - donationcoin will be globally distributed and be a failover if any one or more seednodes go down ... even if dns is down - the peers contained in current peers.dat files will still be able to locate all the seednodes via ip address ... the only ones that will be affected in such a circumstance are the new wallet users ... and even then - steven always seems to have an updated peers file - and a complete uptodate snapshot ... so if all else fails - that can still be a major support for newcomers ...

this is the basis that we want with the cwi infrastructure - to make sure that nothing we can foresee in the future issues will taint the accessibility of the wallets ... thats the goal anyway ...

so as soon as steven gives the go ahead - all seednodes will be recompiled to the latest source - and then we need to discuss the coinage for constant staking of the seednodes and the consequential support for the blockchain ( in the worst case scenario ) as a result of the weight the seednodes would have ...

in any case - im sure steven will attend to these and many more things when he has the time ...

anyway - paperwork for the new contract i start on monday ... then off to compile another two coins for support within the cwi infrastructure ...

this is how egc daemons are built on all the seednodes - statically and without upnp support also ...

this was a necessity for me as the redhat based systems ( centos 7 x64 - in this case ) had crippled openssl implementations ... where redhat legal removed the ecc required to build the daemons ... so i was left with no choice but to build statically every time ... its a better implementation in my opinion also ...

so the scripts we use - build the applications first - then the daemon ... and all of them build at reasonably the same time ...

but those extra conf parameters are not used ... id be interested to see how well they work with the current test node i have running with 1.4.1.0 ...

tanx for all the info - those parameters in the conf are new to me ... so its always good to learn something new ... ...

Hello EverGreenCoin community,

As you all know from recent discussions, we have been fortifying the EverGreenCoin network with many more seednodes. Thanks to Chainworks Industries (CWI) we have gone from 7 seednodes to 20 seednodes online already! Soon we will have 27 online.

I am asking for donations of EGC to help supply these seednodes so that they will be helping to secure PoS, process the blockchain, and more importantly keep PoS difficulty from dropping to extremely low levels. When few wallets are on the network staking, PoS difficulty drops very low. When the difficulty is very low, the network is flooded with PoS blocks from every wallet. We do believe, based on our observations, this can be a source of unintentional forks. Having these seednodes staking themselves and at all times, will increase PoS difficulty. Do not think this countermeasure we are taking will reduce the frequency of your own installments towards your 7% annual, it will not.

If you find your EGC balance to be in a position to donate, please send to EGC address EQxtPQFmBcBycAMxxAFdzksN7LcHsnRP8P any size donation. All donations, of any size, are greatly appreciated. We hope to put several thousand on each of the, what soon will be, 27 seednodes. The EGC Foundation will fill the remaining gap after donations. As you may or may not know, the EGC Foundation only has ~250k (256380.53857451 as of the time of this writing) and we do want to reserve as much as possible of that funding for the solar stakers. If you remember, we intend to provide EGC at the time of sale of the solar stakers at a discount. This discount will be made possible from the EGC Foundation's coins.

For complete disclosure, these donations will become the property of CWI. As I am sure you can imagine, the cost CWI is absorbing for these seednodes is very substantial and significant. It is a tremendous help to EverGreenCoin from a financial perspective.  I thank you kindly in advance for any donation. Please know your donation is being used to secure EGC and the EGC network.

Have a great weekend everyone!

So the community is aware, I will be bringing the block explorer offline briefly this morning at 9:00 a.m. EST (14:00 GMT). It will be offline very briefly, two or three minutes, for some quick maintenance.

EDIT: Maintenence completed.

Whilst it's good to see some progress happening on the staging site I wonder whether priorities are in the right place, crowdfunding in particular would seem like something to add once the rest of the site is up and running and looks decent.

The core layout on the site still seems to be fatally flawed and I'd have thought should be one of the first priorities. For instance on my netbook, the set of tabs below the header bars starts with "Blog" and ends with "About EGC". Looking at the drop down menu that appears to have the same links I can see more options.

I note that Joomla appears to make heavy use of the Bootstrap framework which is designed to make layouts that work across a multitude of devices a trivial task so it's disappointing to see this doesn't seem to be happening here. I've started using Bootstrap on the Solar Staker interface and it took a few hours to migrate the code over having never used bootstrap before (and I'm not a seasoned web developer).

[Gizfreak]

Sorry to say, but I’m disappointed by the progress on the new website again.
Is this all you and your mate can present to us, David?
Very unprofessional imo and taking way too long by now. Stop showing us "teasers" that took you a few hours max. and start showing us a functional site.
If you are unable to, just say so and we’ll do it by ourselves. If not it’s deeds that I am looking for. Not words.

Shame I don't have a CCEX account, and I didn't accumulate enough coin yet to make a difference. Volume on Bittrex is pretty high - shame it can't be replicated/shared across markets.

[EverGreenCoin]

Thank you for bringing this to attention, bathrobehero. I will do what I can to bring them some volume and prevent delisting. I do feel confident I can stir enough volume to meet the minimum volume requirement.
