Here we go...


I'll explain what I had to do in the next post..

[tyrion70]

Okay,

I got some unexplainable errors: nBits below minimum work

Code:

received block e26ac9261be80ee62b00
bnProofOfWorkLimit: 504365055 
ERROR: CheckProofOfWork() : nBits below minimum work
ERROR: CheckBlock() : proof of work failed
ERROR: ProcessBlock() : CheckBlock FAILED

I tried to see what exactly the value of nBits was at the time using

Code:

      printf("bnTarget: %u \n", nBits);

But alas, it won't give any output.. So... What I did, quick and dirty is:

Code:

    // Check range
    if (bnTarget <= 0 || bnTarget > bnProofOfWorkLimit)
      printf("bnTarget: %u \n", nBits);
      printf("bnProofOfWorkLimit: %u \n", bnProofOfWorkLimit.GetCompact());
      // return error("CheckProofOfWork() : nBits below minimum work");

I removed the error ;-)

Consequence is that your clients when used for mining might think it mined a valid block but actually didn't. The network will correct that I think. Maybe a more experienced dev can tell why this error occurs in the first place. I personally think it has something to do with the fact that the difficulty was changed from >>100000000 to >20 after mining the genesis block.

Let me know if it works there!

OK, it hangs after dl-ing a few blocks, but when u restart it if happily resumes..

btw, use the conf file i added in the rar, it contains some working nodes..

Update: New rar file with elacoind.exe as well:

Thanks tyrion!

Can you tell me what version of mingw, qt, and deps you used?
I was trying to build it, but have some errors with the boost lib.

Cool! Thanks! So it's working fine on your end now?

Sure, I first followed the guide on:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0

I used all the mentioned downloads there plus miniupnpc-1.8.

Then the fun part begins because the quide itself is not enough unfortunately..

You have to change the net.cpp file because it loads the upnp lib with a prefix (which is fine for Linux but not on Windows)

Code:

#ifdef USE_UPNP
#ifdef WIN32
#include <miniwget.h>
#include <miniupnpc.h>
#include <upnpcommands.h>
#include <upnperrors.h>
#else
#include <miniupnpc/miniwget.h>
#include <miniupnpc/miniupnpc.h>
#include <miniupnpc/upnpcommands.h>
#include <miniupnpc/upnperrors.h>
#endif
#endif

Also you have to make some changes to elacoin-qt.pro and src/makefile.mingw. Some libraries are needed in a different order and you need to add the

Code:

-D__NO_SYSTEM_INCLUDES 

option to prevent mingw to use the wrong dependencies

Works perfect for me, thank you!

Thanks! Indeed, I tried that guide, and did some tweaks in .pro file, but not what you did.
Those changes are gonna be useful in the future

For some reason I'm getting stuck at 2499 blocks? 

[tyrion70]

Hmmm.. That sounds like a checkpoint issue.. 2499 blocks left? or 2499 loaded?

was your appdata/elacoin dir empty when u started? Wesjuh had a similar issue but that solved it for him

[Hazard]

Elacoin dev inserted checkpoints to overwrite the actual blockchain with one that he created in private.

This is old news people.

Thanks,

totally forgot I had ran it earlier and didn't clean my appdata out, runs like a charm now, thanks!

Yup.. So mebezac had ran ur QT with the premined blockchain ;-)

Thanks

Can someone please post some addnodes ? ( can't find them in the thread, so many many posts ) My qt wont connect to the network.
Thanks in advance !

There is a file in the .rar called elacoin.conf copy this to your AppData\Roaming\Elacoin and it should connect.

Nodes are in the elacoin.conf
