Are you currently staking?

No. The status bar still shows - left 19606 blocks

Did you close it and start it up again and it keeps hanging at the same spot?

You should hop over on the discord https://discord.gg/YwA75tS and it's a lot easier to give/receive help in realtime instead of on here waiting for it to bounce back and forth.

Remove your previous chaindata from your Denarius data directory. Download the latest chaindata.zip to save time and unzip it to your data directory. Reopen Denarius and you should sync up no problem.

Latest chaindata.zip: https://gitlab.com/denarius/chaindata/raw/master/chaindata.zip

Also we are currently working on v2.5.2, which is almost finished, we will have a lot more fixes in this coming release as well, staking balances were fixed in this coming release as well to be a bit less confusing!

Remember to get on at least v2.5 before block 900k! Once block 900k, all old nodes will no longer connect to our network.

2.5 working great for me. Good work team DNR

Sounds great!! Excited for the new fixes, though v2.5 wallet works great now!

Yeah same here, I'm looking forward to the new update. So when we stake now in this next update our coins won't disappear like they do now? I had a couple of people send me messages on Twitter saying their coins were lost when in fact they had staked. I told them that they will show up once they confirm which they did. For anyone new to DNR and sees this happen will freak out so a fix for this would be great.

Yup it will be fixed up it will read a lot better across all users too to be less confusing when looking at your balance.

Awesome! Good work my friend! After this next release, hopefully you'll be able to take a break for a while as you have been working very hard on DNR in the last year. Hopefully there won't be any more work done on the wallet and you can take a well deserved rest my friend.

Testing the new QT and sending out rewards from the masternode collateral wallet is so much easier. Can't wait to start another masternode. 

[FacelessCrypto]

Everyone should update to 2.5.0 version

[enkayz]

FYI in the next version (v2.5.2) we have made a couple of nice updates:

• The My Masternodes Tab now works - use it to add your masternode configuration via the GUI if you're not comfortable with the masternode.conf editing. This tab will auto-load anything you have configured in masternode.conf already, and show each one of your masternodes & their online status.
• Masternode collateral is now locked by default and will not show in coin control.
• Balances now display differently:
  
  • The "Stake" balance has been removed and is now part of "Immature" balance which will show any immature balances from both coins that staked or newly minted coins from your wallet.
  • A new "Available for Stake" balance has been added which shows the total amount of coins in your wallet which are mature enough to be used for staking.
  • Coins which are locked for masternode collateral are now listed seperately in a "Locked" balance
  • The 'Spendable' balance now only shows coins that you can actually spend - i.e. your total balance minus immature and locked coins
  • Watch only balances will now show immature coins as well
  • These balances are all available for your external usage via a new RPC command 'fetchbalance'
• Locked masternode collateral will no longer stake, meaning you can turn on your staking in the QT 'cold' wallet. Staking will then auto-combine the multiple inputs you get from masternode payments into one larger amount, keeping down the size/complexity of your wallet file.
• Coin Control has been updated and will no longer show watch only balances or the masternode collateral, and you can now safely use automatic sending to send your 'Spendable' balance to a single address without breaking any of your masternode collateral inputs

Plus some overall performance improvements and other minor tweaks to make things better. Release notes will have more detail, but I thought I'd let you guys in on a tidbit of what's to come in v2.5.2!

Some great "fixes" In 2.5.2 then!! Although I have never had any issue with any version of the DNR QT.

Having more than 1 masternode running, the locked wallets help so much to send rewards to mynode.rocks for some masternode sharing.

Sweet!

Reposting this again here in case it was missed on the last few pages:

You must update before block 900,000!

Mandatory Update Denarius v2.5!

-Protocol Update (25213 now)
-Removed Litemode
-Removed Trading API (May add back in, in a future update)
-Reworked threading for Masternodes
-Removed Darksend
(We want to bring a better privacy method of sending coins in Denarius, hence the removal of Darksend, we are currently looking into potentially integrating libzerocoin in a future release.)
-Removed Instantx
-Optimized Keypool
-General Optimization and Fixes
-Forced port 9999 for mainnet masternodes and 19999 for testnet
-Updated Watch Only Addresses/Support
-Optimized Syncing Speeds (Improved to around 200-400 blocks per second vs. old 3 blocks per second)
-Optimized Wallet
-Fixed sending transactions with a narration
-Added Watch Only balances in QT if any watch only addresses are available
-Added the ignoring of staking inputs for exact amounts of 5,000 DNR for masternodes
-Updated the listtransactions RPC command to provide vout information
-Old Nodes will no longer connect to our current protocol of 25213 after block 900,000, so ensure that you are updated to v2.5 on all of your Denarius and denariusd nodes before block 900,000.

If you have a node running do the following to update it:

Code:

./denariusd stop && cd .. && git pull && cd src && make clean && make -f makefile.unix

Grab the latest release of v2.5 from: https://github.com/carsenk/denarius/releases/tag/v2.5

v2.5 was merged into our master branch for an easy git pull to update old nodes.

To lock masternode collateral in the QT, do we need to add anything to the denarius.conf file?

[kingcarsen]

To lock masternode collateral in the QT, do we need to add anything to the denarius.conf file?

In v2.5.2 there will be a new -mnconflock flag to keep masternode inputs locked or unlocked. By default it will be set to lock masternode inputs. So you won't need to add anything special to your .conf file.

Thats great to hear. One less thing for the user to mess up.

What is Denarius?

Denarius is a peer to peer based currency, a user to user connected network, without any central server for data. It allows for the sending of money digitally, without the need of a centralized financial institution, like a bank. Denarius can be bought in fractions, making the technology and currency available for everyone. Denarius has a focus on low fees, scalability, speed, and anonymization.

Can you explain to me how Hybrid Masternodes work?

Can you explain to me how Hybrid Masternodes work?

Absolutely! Denarius has a system referred to as Masternodes. Masternodes act as incentivized nodes for the network, that also offer some services to the blockchain.  Masternodes allow the network to do things like instantly sending coins, or on-chain mixing of coins to help anonymize transactions. In order to run a masternode, you must have 5000 Denarius coins. As stated earlier masternodes receive incentives for operating, masternodes receive 33% of the block reward from each block processed. Masternodes for Denarius are unique from most masternode coins, it utilizes hybrid masternodes. Hybrid masternodes can accept blocks from Proof of Work miners, and those who stake using Proof of Stake.

So is there a way of knowing what the daily income is from a MN? Cuz with having PoW and PoS blocks to give different rewards I'd like to see if it's stable income.
