[BTB] The BitBar Information Thread

[userpike]

It seems H2C is on the same chain as ispace. I also just received some BTB from H2C as I am typing this. I did a manual payout to see if it would go through.

[userpike]

could CCE just be slow to update the site for whatever reason?

[lukemarshall]

So my wallets are in sync with ispace and cryptopia, but not cce.
Anybody else ??

note: cce is almost 190 minutes from last block.

It appears there may be another fork that a majority amount of miners have switched to.

The coin daemon and explorer at CCE are in sync with each other but there are only a half dozen or so peers connected to the daemon.

So again, the community needs to decide which fork to use. The issue I have is which chain should I try to resync the coin daemon on CCE, if I should resync at all.

I recall Bitbar using checking, rather checkpointing in the past. Is there any way to get a check point server going to stop the forking

I think a re-sync is in order and some ideas on checkpoint servers,

So there is talk of alternate Bitcoin Clients that could work together, but certain features would be present in One version, butabsent in another. Perhaps applied to Bitbar as an alternate checkpointing client... working with user clients.

[Spidersbox]

I though 5mil had a checkpoint server running, I'll have to check with him.
So we have cce re-sync correct?

[lukemarshall]

The community should go with the fork that BTER and Cryptopia hopefully are both on. Default to the exchanges, and always addnode the exchanges in your wallet.

I don't think BTER even has their Bitbar clients running. I attempted a test withdrawal nearly a month ago, submitted a support ticket and got a simple "thanks"

The two big hashing pools and Cryptopia seem to be running the show right now

I sent 20 btb over a week ago, and it never showed up. I submitted a couple of tickets, and sent an email.
for now, I think bter bites.

[Spidersbox]

Sound s like everybody agrees that CCE should re-sync to the chain that Cryptopia is on.
I'll send him a PM and let him know.

If you recall BTER was hacked for quite a large amount a year or ago. It is very well possible they are operating in the same manner as Cryptsy had.

[Spidersbox]

maybe we can get Bitbar listed on https://safecex.com/coin/add?q=BTB ??
We only have two votes, mine and a guy from DMD that I traded votes with.

agree
and get a new thread going so you can up date OP

anyone sent from BTER to crytopia?  just to test if they are on the same chain;)

luke says above no go, but last i recall BTER wallet looked open to me

I would try to send from bter to cryptopia, but as I said above, my deposit from last week hasn't gone through.

The OP was updated last month and most everything is current with he exception of cryptsy, and I haven't given up hope on them yet.
I do need to get Cryptopia added though, thanks for the reminder.

Good and bad news 

Good news - I finished coding the markets module of CCE for the Cryptopia API.  The BTB explorer on CCE now has Cryptopia in the market header.

Bad news:

I believe we are looking at a hard fork due to a client update.

After a complete fresh chain download with addnodes that were given to me on the longer chain, the daemon on CCE ended up on the same block (150545).

It appears the clients responding with the subversion "/Bitbar:0.7.4/" are on the chain that is about block 150882.

The clients (including CCE) that are on subversion  "/Satoshi:0.7.4/" are on the chain that is on block 150545.


So now the question is, which client version is going to become the official client?

The newer version is the Bitbar version.
It has been updated with btb.altcointech.net as the seednode, where as the older versions have bitbar.biz as the seed node.

last checkpoint is ( 141550, uint256("0x0000000014b26064d91f70baed8561e6642d71fcbac3b38bf24f6fe262212792"))

Note to self:
I think it's time to add a block explorer to the wallet.

Could someone possibly help me with something. I've been a big buyer of altcoins since 2011 but am not tech savvy one bit. I sent two transactions of Bitbar to my wallet on 10/03/15 and 10/10/15 neither of which registered on the blockchain but did show up in my wallet until I resynced it and now they are missing. One was for 52.123839 and the other 67.715018 it shows 119.883857 as unconfirmed. My address is B8Z8UBnZofYjMuxpMh4mFMTANsFYFpGxGD I have pictures to show all of this. Thanks for any help you can offer.

It is most likely that those coins where from the incorrect block chain and are invalid coins,if you have resynced to the proper chain now and they are gone then that is probably the case and I am sorry to say they where never real coins and as such you never had them and wont get them back.

This is the problem that occurs when a blockchain forks.

This is not the only possible reason though and there may be hope for them but I wouldnt count on it,sorry and good luck M8.

[doger69]

The wallet I have on my computer works fine and shows all coins even new ones purchased the last few days from Cryptopia. Does that mean I'm on the correct chain?

Yes,the correct chain is the one Cryptopia is on,to make sure you stay on it, add the nodes they are in sync with to a conf file and place it in your AppData/Roaming/BitBar folder.

A couple of post back I put info for solo mining and you can find a copy of the .conf file you need there.

This is the link to that post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196125.msg13634188#msg13634188

[doger69]

Ok thx. I'm going to try and figure this out. I don't know how to add nodes but will try. Those 120 Btb were confirmed in my wallet but it was stuck at dec 08 so I resynced it and now they won't confirm. I had transaction id for both before I resynced.

Sent you a pm with easy instruction M8, and you are most welcome

[doger69]

Is there any chance there is going to be a Bitbar coin swap? I also have 734 Bitbar stuck on cryptsy. I was paying $200 each for Bitbar in Jan. 2014 that is true. It was on EBay for $200 each at that time.

WoW,I have only ever owned 12 bitbar so I cant imagine your pain in loosing so many,sad to say I am going to guess the coins on cryptsy are no good as the chain has forked several times since cryptsy BTB wallet last worked.
