I lost my computer yesterday ，so I bought a new one and  install new ANC wallet.BUT the wallet cannot sync any more from the start.
Would anybody give me some valid nodes(cleannet) so that I can set up new .conf?That will be appreciated.

THANKS.But it doesn't work for me.

[mullick]

This is what I got from the crypsy chatroom:

"Mullick told me that he will put online ANC blockchain explorer today and use it as a node for all ANC transactions including stucked ones"

So apparently, from that garbled mess, that means Mullick is on the job? Because I messaged him two days ago on the bitcointalk account -- asking if he could get the raw transactions -- and I haven't heard anything back from him since.

The cryptsy saga continues.

Meanwhile they have stopped replying to my open ticket thread.

I successfully broadcast 276 transactions with altexplorer last night that cryptsys wallet refused to. i cant keep doing this for every withdrawal. So the wallet will remain in maintenance until the developers fix the issue.

If anyone has a transactions that did not get confirmed last night please pm me with the details

EDIT:

Here are some of the blocks containing the transactions in question. None violate the maxtxsize. They just refused to be broadcast by our wallet

Can you enable the wallet so that current pending deposits will confirm? I am stuck (sent deposit before you disabled the wallet).

Just a quick update on my Cryptsy ANC withdrawal issue for what it's worth...

I posted a few days ago about my transactions being "stuck" and got zero support from Cryptsy other than pointing me to various forum threads including this one. I had a total of 4 transactions ranging from 140 ANC up to 1,200 ANC... 3 of which were going to CEX and 1 going to my personal wallet.

Finally today, after 4 days (or was it 5...?) I finally got all 4 transactions to both CEX and my wallet!

I don't know if this helps anyone or not, it doesn't look like Cryptsy has the problem solved and even if they did I don't think I would trust using them again. Looking at the txID's it was definitely a Cryptsy issue from what I can see so no need to panic about ANC having issues. If you're still waiting on Cryptsy it looks like their transactions will *Eventually* go through, but it will probably take some time because of the massive tx sizes they are sending.

Hopefully no one has lost too much money over this issue, I could have more than doubled my BTC if the tx had gone through right away... but at this point I'm just happy to report I finally got them and made just a few percent!! Sorry Cryptsy, I'll have to use someone else now but thanks for nothing!

Good luck to anyone else that had issues! Hope you get your coins back from Craptsy soon...

You should read the thread. This isnt a cryptsy issue. Its an anc issue. I spent 3 hours relaying transactions last night and setting up the node to get everyones transactions confirmed.

Bittrex has their wallet disabled due to the same issue

[mullick]

Ok lets set this straight since the developers have stopped communicating with us and trying to fix the issue. I have gone above and beyond to make anoncoin work on our exchange. I kept the ANC wallet open when bittrex shut it down to not lock customers from their funds

This was made impossible by the false accusations and general slander from the community and developers themselves

I will say it again. I manage 236 wallets. ANC is the only one to have this issue. And it is NOT a cryptsy issue.

Pay special attention to the bold text

Hi Mullick,

I am one of the Anoncoin developers, and I want to work with you to see if we can get to the bottom of this. So the issue appears to happen when you create a transaction and it is greater than 100KB. By design, such a transaction will not be relayed in the network.

What RPC commands are you using to create and send these transactions?

Thanks,
Gnosis

Hello,

Thanks for the reply

The onlycommand issued to our daemons for withdrawal is a "sendtoaddress"

The problem seems to be anoncoind is allowing the transactions instead of reporting "Transaction creation failed" out "Transaction too large" It just happily creates the transactions pretends all is well

Our wallet does have a few thousand unspent inputs which we have been merging on and off to reduce tx sizes

If there is anything else that would help please let me know

-Mullick
mullick@cryptsy.com

If you are only executing "sendtoaddress", then that should perform the size checks to make sure the created transaction is under 100KB. This looks like a bug in our code.

However, from looking at the source of recent versions (see below), it doesn't look like it's possible -- I don't see any way the check could not be performed.  What version are you running?

master branch: https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/blob/master/src/wallet.cpp#L1294
newbase branch: https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/blob/newbase/src/wallet.cpp#L1320

I have tried both the master and the previous official release. Currently we are running the master branch

What does "git rev-parse HEAD" say?

Thanks for the reply. Here ya go

Code:

git rev-parse HEAD
fffef88265b965c6d9b6d5ee64e0a9406699018d

Almost done merging inputs as well

Started with over 100k

Code:

Remaining are 11672 unspent inputs.

I just confirmed with bittrex they seem to be having the same issue

Mullick
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=227287.msg8354734#msg8354734
Thats what our unconfirmed transactions looked like
@bittrex-richie
"amount" : -969.26520089,
"fee" : -0.60000000,
"confirmations" : 0,
"txid" : "838e3b333ac6a64e5eed95c320bdee2ff2121dac170a634fbe498f739d2257c9",
yeah.. looks to be similar
do they never clear?
Mullick
One of the devs had to solomine with a modified daemon to allow larger transaction sizes
They got most of ours confirmed
nm daemon wasnt modified he just decalred max tx sizes in the anoncoin.conf
Mullick
You could remove it from your wallet and resend after 48 hours as well
after 48 hours it should be cleared from everyone mempool
@bittrex-richie
those both seem like ridicoulous answers
Mullick
lol yep
If they dont have the fix in by the time mintsy goes live ill modify the mintsy daemon to confirm those transactions

So I think this is easier with all 4 of us on one PM thread. Let's try to keep it that way

Mullick, I have confirmed with you that you're building from source. richie, if you aren't, please check out the master branch from our repo (https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin).
At any rate, I would like you both to patch this into your src/wallet.cpp around line 1295. Where it says this:

Code:

// Limit size
unsigned int nBytes = ::GetSerializeSize(*(CTransaction*)&wtxNew, SER_NETWORK, PROTOCOL_VERSION);
if (nBytes >= MAX_STANDARD_TX_SIZE)
{   
    strFailReason = _("Transaction too large");
    return false;
}   
dPriority /= nBytes;

Replace it with this:

Code:

// Limit size
unsigned int nBytes = ::GetSerializeSize(*(CTransaction*)&wtxNew, SER_NETWORK, PROTOCOL_VERSION);
if (nBytes >= MAX_STANDARD_TX_SIZE)
{   
    strFailReason = _("Transaction too large");
    printf("DEBUGTXN: disallowing txn %s because size (%d bytes) not less than max (%d bytes)\n",
            wtxNew.GetHash().ToString().c_str(),  nBytes, MAX_STANDARD_TX_SIZE);
    return false;
}
else    
    printf("DEBUGTXN: allowing txn %s because size (%d bytes) less than max (%d bytes)\n",
            wtxNew.GetHash().ToString().c_str(), nBytes, MAX_STANDARD_TX_SIZE);
dPriority /= nBytes;

...and then recompile and re-deploy. You can then submit large transactions and search debug.log for "DEBUGTXN". Let me know what you find when this problem happens again.

Thanks,
Gnosis

I've done this, but considering i've turned off the wallet, this code is never going to get hit... Is there an easy way to clear this first?

The wallet is disconnected from your exchange software, but it still has many unspent outputs, right? I would create an address in a second Anoncoin wallet, and send a very large amount to it (hence causing a large transaction to be generated) from the wallet with customer accounts. Later, after fixing this problem and before reconnecting the first wallet to the exchange, send that ANC back to it. I don't know the internals of your exchange software, but this would not cause problems for exchanges I have worked with.

I should also mention that this code will only get hit with the "sendtoaddress" RPC command.

Inputs are pretty well merged in our wallet so i had some trouble creating transaction of that size. I moved some around in bunches of 25k

Code:

Doesn't appear to be anything useful. Its down to the smallest inputs in that wallet now so ill send the results again after 24 hours

After roughly 20 blocks none of the transactions have been picked up. This caused our security to go a little nuts and paused the ANC market for a few minutes

Cool, thanks for your help. It looks like the check where we added the print statements is always being executed.

It's interesting that none of the transactions were picked up. I'm not sure why that's the case...

Anyway, the next step is to see whether nodes are refusing to relay these transactions, and if so, why.  On line 670 of main.cpp, where it says:

Code:

if (!fTestNet && !tx.IsStandard(strNonStd))
    return error("CTxMemPool::accept() : nonstandard transaction (%s)",
                 strNonStd.c_str());

Please change it to:

Code:

if (!fTestNet && !tx.IsStandard(strNonStd)) {
    printf("DEBUGTXN: not accepting tx %s into mempool because '%s'\n", tx.GetHash().ToString().c_str(), strNonStd.c_str());
    return error("CTxMemPool::accept() : nonstandard transaction (%s)",
                 strNonStd.c_str());
}

Compile this and start it with a separate like this "mkdir /tmp/relay_anc_datadir && ./anoncoind -datadir=/tmp/relay_anc_datadir". You'll need to setup anoncoin.conf as usual. This will be your relay node; you'll need to know the IP for the next step. You can grep its debug.log for "DEBUGTXN" to see refusals to relay, though it's possible some of them will be from other nodes.

Going back to the regular wallet you were using before, add the argument "-connect=<RELAY_IP>:9377" where RELAY_IP is the IP above. Now it will only connect to that node. Please start it and create another large transaction (if possible).

richiela, if you read this far, please also do the above

On a serious note, a question about anonymity.

I can't figure out how considering I have an impossible to guess password and have setup yubikey for withdrawels but someone emptied out my account for about 80 BTC today!

Luckily I keep most of my BTC in my own wallet but wtf can I do now? Anything? I've been trying to contact Mt Gox all day but it just keeps saying "getting an agent..."

BTW, the person that hacked my account's address is:

1JgqPGJCJWzgeMiTFbmeLi3cpKC9jahPS4


I'll give a reward if I can find out who this person is so I can beat the **** out of them!

It is easy for a novice like myself to follow the trail to a wallet that was active just a few hours ago.

Is there no way to connect those stolen funds to an id on an exchange or other service?

[flound1129]

The network is segmented.  Multipool has to mine our own transactions or they don't get relayed.  IMO there are not enough clearnet nodes to sustain the network between pools and exchanges.  Haven't seen any major forks yet but those could be around the corner.

I posted on Reddit about this over 2 months ago: http://www.reddit.com/r/Anoncoin/comments/2dilks/clearnet_nodes_are_getting_sparse/

Devs need to set up 2 or 3 open seed nodes on clearnet.

It'd also be nice if we could also get an officially tagged release in Git with proper versioning.  All of my wallets (built from tag v0.8.5.6) still report version v0.8.5.1-82-gc0b7034-beta and "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications".

Just to be sure, you must put lines in your anoncoin.conf thus:

addnode=37.187.144.36
addnode=67.209.191.40
... and so on for all the IPs that are on the list

Apologies if you'd already done it this way but never know

I'm starting to get concerned.  First there were the zerocoin delays and the exchange problems.  But now meeh, who was supposed to give an update on the auxPoW and difficulty problems, is asking people what they think of myriad? Didn't the community decide we wanted to switch about a month ago and according to this post (http://www.reddit.com/r/Anoncoin/comments/2ix6ny/a_hard_fork_is_imminent_pay_attention_to_forum/) a hardfork was supposed to happen?

How is meeh now asking what we think of myriad and auxPoW? Wasn't he supposedly coding for a hardfork the past month?

Is anyone able to read code and verify that there has been actual progress on this coin? Exchanges still aren't working and my coins are still stuck in crypsty! I don't think this is a cryptsy problem.  The devs need to fix this and work with the exchanges rather than trying to blame it on them.


Edit: Are there any exchanges that are currently allowing anoncoin trading? I couldn't buy/sell any if I decided I wanted to
