wallet is stuck on the 40001 block and not synchronized

40001 or 48001?
In that case, download the NO-HF wallet I just release last night

thanks, it all worked

Aways look on the bright side of life. (music)) Know that song ?

Atleast NiceHash aint up so steve can take his time fixing the problems!

I think we are a solid community, in 3 months more than 100 thread pages... interest is raising around this coin plus more and more people are getting involved on mining it. Good jobs guys

I'm having issues with the new v2.1.2.buildba6223a wallet. I'm on Windows 10.

I followed the directions here: http://ird.cash/update-to-new-gui-wallet/ - So I made a backup of %AppData%/iridium and then deleted the folder. I then went on to install the new v2.1.2.buildba6223a wallet and that went fine. When I start the application it crashes without any errors. In the Windows event-log I see this:

Code:

Windows cannot access the file  for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Iridium_Wallet.exe because of this error.

Program: Iridium_Wallet.exe
File: 

Notice that "File: " is empty... so I don't know which file is missing.

I just compile a new one more "compatible", same build version, same functionality but should universally work
take it at the usual place and tell me :

https://github.com/iridiumdev/Iridium-wallet/releases/latest

Edit : a new windows one with shasum 256
Edit2 : I think the problem was the lack of SSE4.2 support on your processor, this version correct this. just tell me.

Awesome it works!

nice !
it was so easy in view of the windows error message !!! Lol !

just tell me, what is the processor on the machine with the problem ?

It's a Intel Core i5 3570K

I have mined it too much, and now I have no money to pay for electricity.

So I was mining all day yesterday, got back from work and saw that walet is not syncing (use the new one), stuck at block 48001, sometimes flashing the latest block number but then failing to sync. Some payment from UVAC has not arrived and wallet is stuck. Should I backup my wallet file and use it in old wallet? Will the pending transactions arrive?

You should update to latest wallet. Harkfork failed already.

Do you plan to do another hardfork?

Of course ! After we understand exactly what happens !

If there is a possibility to mine with the help of NVIDIA video cards, I will be happy to participate in this project.

Cryptonight is not the best algo for NVIDIA gpu, but its possible to mine with NVIDIA, so go on!

[Acime]

I'm mining with NVIDIA cards, no problems so far.

[tigerjack]

Guys, i am also mining with nvidia gtx 1070 , performance not good as AMD cards.

Certainly so

I have mined it too much, and now I have no money to pay for electricity.

When you mine a new coin this means you are an investor and you have to consider that it could take a year or longer until it makes sense to start selling some (never all) of your mined coins.

If you mine to survive, to pay your monthly cost of life, and if you have no other income, then direct most of your rigs to established coins which return solid profits now. Not to coins which will return profits at an unknown point in the future, eventually.

Coins like ZEC or XMR will generate you sure profits and income, every day. I mention these two because one is best for Nvidia cards, one for AMD. And both are traded on big exchanges with tons of liquidity, so no problem to sell whenever you like and as much as you like.

If you do not sell every week but can hold a little bit, like a month, mining those coins might turn out much more profitable than what calculators tell you today. Because I suspect that both will really go ballistic in short time.

This bull market is not over before we see a really ballistic launch by altcoins. As they always do in the second phase of a bull market when BTC has already exhausted and goes horizontally. ZEC could go easily to $1.5k. It's better to mine it now and sell then. Not wait until it goes to $1.5k and mine it then when everyone will switch to it, diff will go 4x and you will still make just a USD per card and day, or worse, it will drop 50% post-peak until you sell.

If you have many rigs, leave a few mining ZEC, XMR, whatever to cover at least your electricity bill and maybe some food and rent. And use only a few rigs to mine speculative coins which you will hold long-term.

Considering how many people desperately ask for "when exchange" every day, I think you are not the only one who put all eggs into one basket. Which is never good.

Hi Fellows

Here is some news about the almost happen hard fork :

(technic on)
- I was able to replay the failing hard fork on testnet with the same pool fork as https://ird.uvac.fr and http://irdpool.de (nice pool and nice guy by the way). The problem is in the node-cryptonote-util library used by the pool to parse the blocs templates among others.
- What did happen : both pools crash when they receive the 48001 block to compute (bloc version 2). so this block was never mined and hard fork never happens, later (10 minutes exactly) irdpool.tk mine the 48001 block in version 1, so we have to continue on v1 blockchain.
With the help of halorhhr, the irdpool.de owner, we are debugging this to solve the problem.
- No, I did not test this before because I successfully simulate the HF with the core miner on testnet and I never suspected that a buggy pool code will do this, mea culpa.
(technic off)

The good news :
- A new pool has born in Germany : irdpool.de
- we find the problem causing the hard fork failing : we know what happens and are on the way to resolve it.
- it makes also room to observe the comportement of the new zawy difficulty algorithm : weighted harmonic mean and implement it. The previous hard fork would have implement a 3 month old version (what a shame !). Feel free to observe and comment this decision as this has just been implemented in some coins and might be has to be tuned.
- There is a new moderator on Discord : h0h0h0

The bad news :
- mine77.net is down since 4 days now, hope it will be repaired soon.

Thank you for that! This coin is alot easier to justify mining now knowing there's active development occurring. I like your reports

WTF
 GT 750 Ti x 6 = 1600 h/s
 GTX 1060 x6 =  2600 h/s
while
 RX 470 x6 = 4000 h/s
