[ANN][ARG] Argentum || A New Begining || UPDATE YOUR WALLET ||

[teayudo]

I attempted again with the following steps:
1. Moved all the files/folders in the blocks folder to a folder called old.bad
2. Moved all the files/folders in the chainstate folder to a folder called old.bad
3. Moved .lock, bootstrap.dat.old, and debug.log to a folder called old.bad
4. Downloaded a fresh copy of bootstrap.dat
5. Restarted v3.11.3.1-72cf1f3 with -reindex

Once again, the bootstrap.dat import failed after block 2,388,213:

My sha256 node's debug.log is filled with this

My scrypt node at the exact same height shows no errors.

I am having the same issue with the bootstrap only indexing to 2,388,214. Once we fix the sha256 client errors, we can just continue the blockchain from there.

[SolidStateSurvivor]

Mine is stuck at 2385249 with 7-9 nodes, going no further. 

Hmm, I guess I'll have to wait then.

Yesterday I had two clients with blocks and headers synced to 2390214. I created a scrypt and sha pool. When I found a sha block, it found a chain further along in block height started syncing with it. The same thing happened with the scrypt pool. After they synced, I continued mining and my windows client found the chain and synced up as well.

Here's the problem. Eventually I received this error on every client synced with the chain, and my windows client produced it's own error as well. This crashed every one of my clients that was synced with the blockchain at the time, mining or not.

:~/.argentum$ argentumd: main.cpp:4223: void ProcessGetData(CNode*): Assertion `!"cannot load block from disk"' failed

Debug.log

ERROR: CheckProofOfWork(): hash doesn't match nBits
2017-05-09 11:42:22 ERROR: CheckAuxPowProofOfWork : non-AUX proof of work failed
2017-05-09 11:42:22 ERROR: ReadBlockFromDisk: Errors in block header at CBlockDiskPos(nFile=5, nPos=122908179)

What I can't figure out is why it won't just reject the bad block and move on, like its supposed to do. It appears that its first writing the bad block to the blockchain then rejecting it, which corrupts your local copy of the blockchain until a reindex is done where it will finally discard the bad block as its supposed to. Until a reindex is done, i get the Assertion which crashed every client connected and synced with it.

[teayudo]

I've received the same errors, but keep restarting the client with -reindex. After several of those, I've now gotten up to block 2392566. When it gets stuck, I just do another -reindex.

My client is also getting stuck constantly. I think the problem is something to do with the scrypt code:

Code:

"difficulty_scrypt" : 13479767645505657739733591426051172149151986772234706298418734563328.00000000

crazy diff......

You shouldn't have that problem on 3.11.3.1. You are on a bad fork.

Oops, my bad. Just updated my wallets to latest version - now they're all stuck at 2387837 after reindexing.

I believe I have a fix now, and I'll also present a proposal (for the future.) Give me a few days. Very busy life right now

Killed the client, reindexed again with 'argentumd -reindex'. Now it's syncing!

Looks like my fix is working as expected so far. Release coming soon. You might experience issues with your individual client until on the new version.

Well done protonn, nice work. Let me know when we're good to do a git pull & I'll compile & test.

It appears that exchanges are also experiencing issues with syncing the Argentum blockchain - Right now I can't find a single one that is actively trading; Cryptopia and Coinexchange.io are both unable to sync. 

Not screaming for a change, just spreading the news so Devs are aware 

cheers!

All exchanges have been notified.

NovaExchange has updated. Still waiting for a response from the others. My guess is tomorrow.

Why did this coin die?

Why did this coin die?

It originally died with the cryptsy scandal. Cryptcollector brought it back from the dead.
