[BTB] The BitBar Information Thread

[rbdrbd]

Hey guys, I've thrown the OP source up at pastebin: http://pastebin.com/6e8kdGNt

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to read through all the posts and make any relevant updates. If anyone wants to do this and give me the updated post (via pastebin, etc) then I can update the OP from that, just send me a PM when you do this to make sure I get it.

Anyone else have the bitbar wallet lose connections and seem to always be behind:

Catching up...

"last block received 77 days ago "

Try using this node... the one from CCE

tried this but can't even get the thing to sync or find any connections....

The new node for the CCE is this:

Code:

connect=84.200.4.218

Make sure to change 'connect' back to 'addnode' once you are synced
Also add these nodes:

Code:

addnode=23.92.25.46
addnode=37.229.117.57
addnode=84.200.4.218
addnode=88.198.184.231
addnode=176.28.55.230
addnode=85.228.195.71
addnode=204.10.105.113
addnode=82.137.114.220



Here are some nodes for the correct chain:

WRONG!!!!!
btb.ltcoin.net is NOT on the correct chain!  All the exchanges and other pools are on the same as the block explorer.

The following are all on the same as the block explorer and NOT diggers chain:

Thank you Mr. A L I E N, for the good information.

I have send an email to Digger, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=32194

The owner opperator of the pool, ( btb.ltcoin ) and have yet to get a responce.

He need to know what is going on with his forked pool, and take the appropriate measures.

Quick Note:

I need to get people used to using the official cryptocoinexplorer.com address without the suffix. When CCE3 goes live, the ABE "/chain/BitBar" suffix will be invalid.

Please use:

btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com

or

www.btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com

Yes, about half a dozen of his pools are forked and he hasn't taken any action thus far.

Looks like Alien is right, the longest chain was not the one than main exchanges was on, I resynced checkpointing client to CCE and everybody should see checkpoint to old warning disappear soon.

connect=btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com

This is great news, the checkpoint warning is gone and I have over 35 connections on the client!
I can confirm that transactions in and out of Cryptsy are working great.

Hi - I sent an email too only to get a reply of 'check the coins by selling/trading them' to see if they are mined. Terrible I say, very annoyed about no communication and to let people still mine something on the wrong fork.

Bitbar has officially died. The market cap is now ~600$. It can literally all be bought with about 3 BTC

Actually the market cap is between 7-24 BTC depending if you are basing your calculation on the Bid or Ask price.  Good thing you have no authority to officially declare a coins death lol.  A coin only dies when transactions cannot be completed. This will not happen with BTB since it could continue POS blocks even if there was no POW hash.  There are still plenty of POW miners hashing on BTB though.  A savvy trader could easily double up trading BTB at these levels.

I have a feeling Bitbar will survive based on it's status as the "consolidated Bitcoin" but I thought I would share this with you guys:

and subbed

I have something that will determine whether the coin has any chance of proceeding.

I have some btb. I mined it many moons ago. I was going through old wallets and found it. I tried to send the coin out and it has remained stalled without any confirmations. The block chain cannot be updated because the check point is too old. I downloaded the latest client and that did not resolve it. I searched my computer and cound not find a .conf to manually update the server used to rebuild the block chain.

Is there a solution for this?

Try deleting your blockchain (blk*.dat and the database/ folder) and peers.dat, but NOT your wallet.dat (that would be bad). Then use a conf file similar to this:

server=1
gen=0
daemon=1
rpcuser=yourrpcusername
rpcpassword=yourpassword
rpcport=8100
port=8099
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
addnode=btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com

Connecting directly to the block explorer should get you up to the current block. From there you should start getting additional peers connecting.

I repeat.. you can delete everything from your profile folder, but DO NOT delete your wallet.dat. Before you start the client you should only have wallet.dat and bitbar.conf in the folder

Yes deleting the block chain and re-downloading should get you back up to speed. I have the following ports instead of what was posted above:

Code:

rpcport=9344
port=8777

Thank you for addressing this so quickly Dreamwatcher, the community thanks you for your services.

I saw that bitbar grows up in a couple of minutes

Otherwise, is it worth mining this?
