I downloaded the windows one from devcoin.org but it wouldn't connect, it says no connection available so after uninstalling and reinstalling a few times I then downloaded the one from darkgamex but it wont connect either. Can someone help me sort this out?

Hello!

There are still a couple of issues with receiver files that are preventing wallets from syncing.

We should have that fixed in the next week few days once all of the hosts are updated.

Here is another way to get your wallet up-to-date and syncing:

Download the full blockchain here http://node1.devcoin.cloud/receiver_files/DEVCOIN_WITH_BLOCKS.zip

Unzip that and run the batch file (it is safe, you can view the content of it before running it).  

That will automatically copy in all of the blocks and receiver files from a working version and then start syncing.

Cheers!

Hi CTYA,

I click on that link and it takes me to a NOT FOUND 404 page.

I downloaded the receiver files 0 to 80 from darkgamex but not sure where to put them. I have put them in the appdata/roaming/devcoin folder with the rest of the files is this right? I am still getting the same problem: "No Block Source Available."

I apologise if I have this totally wrong, it has been a long time and I cant find much in the way of instructions

Hey Melodie!  I wondered where you disappeared to!  I had problems with my old forum account as well and had to start with a new user name.

Hi Melodie

Sorry that zip file is not there anymore.

All of the receiver files were changed during the time since I made the zip and posted that link.  As a result, the zip file wasn't fixing anything anymore and just causing more confusion.

I am working with Unthinkingbit to get the receiver files corrected and updated on all the hosts.

We are very close!  Once the receiver files are updated, I think everyone will be able to sync the devcoin wallet from block 0 without any trouble

I will let you know once I have retested everything

Cheers

Awesome work CTYA x

Definitely too much invested in DevTome to throw it away at this point. We might want to to look into creating an AdSense compliant content branch so that it can begin generating some cash flow as promised, though. We may want to think of some uses of blockchain that have come to be since DVC's conception. Chains like steem, for example. Could there be something that the DVC blockchain could bring to the alt coin table that is not already there?

One reason advertisers gave for not advertising on devtome is that it is about everything, and many advertisers prefer sites focusing on one topic.

To give advertisers the focus they want, an open source blog website could be made. Writers would have their own blogs, and those blogs that became popular would get advertisers, and that money would go to those writers. The content on all blogs would be mirrored on devtome. This way the writers would get advertising money, and devtome would get more content.

To start, maybe the blogs could be on Steemit, expanding what develCuy is doing. Eventually it would probably be best to make our own blog site, so people would know that everything on the domain would be open source.

Yep, we need more devcoin users blogging in Steemit and voting @devcoin for witness, so that we can build joint value. STEEM has a business value that works collectively.

What is stopping the listing on coinscontrol? Anything I can help host, update, fix ?

Coinscontrol has errors with the Devcoin wallet.  The wallet does not sync due to receiver file problems. 

The receiver files have been updated to correct a few of the problems but some other problems remain.

Unthinkingbit is the point of contact for receiver file hosts.

Develcuy has also been very helpful with source code expertise.

I will let you know as soon as I have more information.

CTYA offered to be a file custodian, and I accepted. We don't need any more custodians at this time, if we need another one, I'll someone or I'll ask on this thread.

[R-J-F]

So, what is the status of Devcoin? I see it's not on CMC any more, still holding quite a large bag. Any plans to revive the project over what I see here?  BTW, my wallet is fully synced...

[lobois1337]

Mine synced too.

[wiser]

I've got all my receiver files moved to an http:// domain, so hopefully that is helping with the wallet syncing issues.

How is CoinsControl doing with its wallet updating?

That is good news Wiser.  Now we just need all of the receiver files on all of the hosts updated to point to the most recent peer list, including your new http:// location.

It should not be too much longer now before we are all up-to-date and the wallet is syncing from block 0 again.

I sent the url to Unthinkingbit and asked him to double check that it's working as expected. I had to learn how to use Filezilla, which wasn't too hard, but had a bit of a learning curve. Once he says it looks good, then I think we can get the info out to whoever needs it.

[FuzzyBear]

Sorry for delay, receiver files updated on my server so should not be any syncing issues from my end and none experienced.

Fuzzybear

[lobois1337]

So sync is fixed? Any further issues to get coinscontrol rolling?

[Guido]

my wallet has always synced fine even up until couple days ago.
I fired up , well tried past couple days and after saying verifying blocks etc, I get this.....




anything I need to add to folder? new .conf etc?
what has changed in source or git or whatever for this error?
thanks

[bemine431]

I see this as very good. And I will wait for more information on this project

[wendydo82]

Looks promising. Surely gonna read more about it.

[Edit: Wallet Install]

Did a totally fresh install on my daughter's Windows 10 machine this morning (made sure to delete her hidden devcoin directory as well) and it seems to be hanging on week 340 or 349, forget which. Anyone else getting something similar?

- Nova

[anewmelodie]

I am very confused, I have tried everything I can think of to get connected (I thought maybe it was a firewall issue or something similar?)

At the bottom of the wallet screen it says on the left:"No block source available" then on the right there are two little computers with a red x to indicate they are not connected and when I mouse-over it says: " 0 active connection(s) to the Devcoin network"

I left it running for 2 days thinking maybe it just needed time to find a connection but still no go

If someone could help me I would be very grateful.

TIA
