Is there something about the block it sticks on that is different from normal or something?

Like is it maybe the first block in which some newfangled set of fees happened to actualyl get into a block or something?

Does the log give any indication that it is seeing anything awry? Misbehaving nodes or anything like that?

The log is there for a reason, if you think something might be going wrong the log would be the first place to look.

Also the system's own logs maybe in case some firewall throttle is happening or something.

Heck who knows maybe even the internet provider has decided it seems to be some kind of stream and is not coming from a source thery have a special deal with so under the new no-equality internet they want to suppress it. Or maybe they think it is file-sharing and they are helping prevent piracy by messing with it.

Is the log even moving at all or frozen? How many connections at the time? Does the number of connections fall off, such as it might if it thinks everyone out there is misbehaving?

For me, it just stopped and it show 0 connections as well, thank you for your help.

Have the german language people translated the English phrases that include new English words such as Devcoin into whatever the German for Devcoin would be?

(I am thinking maybe it only seems to say bitcoin because the german word for bitcoin happens to look so much like the English word for bitcoin, aka that the problem is not in the code but in the language files that maybe have not been translated yet. I wonder if the gender of devcoins is the same as the gender for bitcoins? Do all coinages and currencies have the same gender? Do words starting with D have the same grammatical requirements as those that start with B? In English for example we have a versus an depending on the initial letter of the word that follows. I learned from making Battle for Wesnoth scenarios that you often cannot just plug in words and expect them to work in other languages, the translators may have to change things around entirely in some languages when a noun or gender or whatever changes.)

No mention of misbehaving neighbors in the log though?

As one reason for dropping neighbors is thinking they are feeding bad data, if so it might even say what it thinks is wrong with the data they are feeding it.

Is your computer clock set from a network clock or might it be out of synch? There is an alert of sorts for that in the daemon's RPC call outputs but I don't know what a GUI client might do with such alerts, would it display them prominently or just put them in the log for you to fidn when you check the log?

Did it say it dropped them or that they dropped it aka it lost connection / connection was terminated by the other end?

I wonder if all seed nodes might have reached their maximum number of incoming connections?

dvcstable01.dvcnode.org has been offline for days waiting for a new motherboard so that is one less seed node the last few days.

I will check these, it has been several days, this may be the culprit. My pc is old. I do know that I was able to download the doge wallet no problem, and I am currently downloading the ltc wallet, although slow, it is downloading with just 7 weeks left. I
Will resume with devcoin as soon as that is completed. Once again, thank you very much for your time, I really do appreciate it and will pay it forward.

I have cable modem and I find often when a coin is getting a blockchain or delivering one to someone else my line chokes up so bad I cannot even do nameserver lookups to find the IP address of a name let alone actually get a webpage if my browser already knows the IP address, maybe sometimes a small page I can get but often the webserver just gives up trying to send me the page and resets the connection.

So if you already have one blockchain being gotten maybe that could be it.

My dedicated server when I first tried to set up merged mining I had all the coins started at boot, which choked up the whole machine so bad it would crap out before booting. Even putting five minute delays between coin startups didnt fix it as they all wanted to start catching up on the chain in those first forty minutes or whatever.

Though maybe that case might have been a RAM thing more than bandwidth maybe.

Though you are accessing the forum. Hmm. Maybe only because devcoin did stop getting the blockchain?

The purpose of putting a packaged blockchain on a download site (like in the "put it on devcoin.org" suggestion earlier) is so people can grab the whole chain as a simple download with no verifying needed as its just a browser doing a download then fire up the coin with the blockchain already sitting there on their disk waiting to be verified by their client. Heck bitcoin even has a torrent for the blockchain.

-MarkM-

[Branzig]

Copy that, could be either, maybe both. Resetting the clock now. Could you send the blockchain to me or direct me to. A link possibly? Or should I try diagnosing this..?

[markm]

I don't know of any blockchain packages available for download anywhere. I am not even sure what one would include, for exampel maybe it is not necessary to include the index files as the user can do -reindex to cause them to be created, given just the raw blocks file.

I also do not even know whether the specific build your are using correctly matches the specific service pack level or version of the specific operating system you are using nor whether that specific binary package works for anyone anywhere other than who-ever built it.

So yeah tons of stuff to diagnose.

Why does it drop connections? Or does it? If its not the one doing the dropping why do the others drop it? Are all our seed nodes overloaded already? So much that is not known...

[Branzig]

Ok, y oo much, I guess I will risk it with an online wallet? I just got an android tablet??? I was hoping to do some television translating.. Life is too short. 

[markm]

If you hope to ever get on the DeVCoin receivers list, such as if you become a Devtome author, then make sure the online wallet is one that can handle coins that are mined directly instead of sent via normal send transaction. Many, maybe even most, do not.

-MarkM-

[Branzig]

I got stuck on this old pc over a measley few dvc. I am trying not to be 'frustrated incorporated'. Can you refer one? Off the record, just a temporary fix til I can get one dl'd...
Thanks so much for your time, and patience.

It could well be a translation backlog (it's Dutch by the way  ).

Great! That probably explains the price rise today

I am really excited for the prospect of the Auction site but I would like to see (if I were to be working on it and I guess if most would like to work on it) some documentation of a well thought out idea agreed upon, not just a cloud of ideas thrown out there.

Design Documentation
Business Rules and Documentation
Data Transaction Documentation

Just to mention a few. It is a huge under taking, more than I think is being thought out here and I believe everything should be hashed out somehow before any development begins on the site or it will be in a perpetual state of Beta and could cause a lot of problems for whomever is running it.

Lol your using a different language only english is translated we need to translate all others.

Quick question to each of you DevCoin earners out there:
 
What would DevCoin earners want to regularly spend their DevCoin on?

If someone has already mention your idea please repeat it so I can get some idea of numbers...

Responses will be collated and reported back to this thread.

Maybe you will get your wish.   

P.S. If there is a better way of doing this please point me to it.

Thanks
