[MaGNeT]

I updated my Mac build of the PhenixCoin wallet to version 0.6.4.7, which resolved a syncing problem for me. The URL is at the Mac Wallets thread listed in my signature. Enjoy!

Great! Thanks!

I don't know if this explorer is working properly: http://explorer.phenixcoin.com/chain/Phenixcoin

But the difficulty changes every 300 blocks, not 480.

It changes every 600 blocks, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=237329.msg2524705#msg2524705

This takes ideally 15 hours (but can take much longer or less, depending on changes in the network hashrate)

Another bug, mentioned earlier, still occurs:

after running the wallet for a while (hours) the "Synchronizing with network.." progress bar reappears saying:

327431 blocks remaining

 and when hovering over it with the mouse:

Downloaded block 46579 of 374010

although there are only 46579 blocks in total by now.

Errors like the following show up in the -printtoconsole log:

Code:

ERROR: FetchInputs() : 7f86e710b0 mempool Tx prev not found 73a5af9661
stored orphan tx 7f86e710b0 (mapsz 15)
ERROR: FetchInputs() : d02d4ba85b mempool Tx prev not found 8ca4687af1
stored orphan tx d02d4ba85b (mapsz 16)
received getdata for: tx de72b672826e9013aa7f
ResendWalletTransactions()
ERROR: FetchInputs() : 38b44facd9 mempool Tx prev not found c39f7dc03d
stored orphan tx 38b44facd9 (mapsz 17)

Not really a bug, just one or more people who are trying to get us on the LTC (or another) chain.
Just ignore it

Oh   Weird. How do they do it?

Not sure *how* they do it ... probably a misconfigured port somewhere.
But normally this should not happen because litecoin clients should not be allowed to talk to phenixcoin clients.
Each coin should use a different identifier (often called "magic number"), but pxc and most other coins did not change this identifier when copying the code base of litecoin
(this identifier is 4 bytes, in the pchMessageStart variable)

With a correct setting of this variable to something else (as long as it is not used by another coin), it would take at least someone manually copying the litecoin blockchain into pxc directory to have this problem.

Thanks, that's odd indeed, I mean what are the odds for that working? Shouldn't the proof of work system reject locally invalid blocks from a different chain and prevent this? Well, they managed to trick my client somehow

I was really waiting for you to do this. Now more people can come to PXC easily.

Update on Feathercoin forum:

Team,

Unfortunately, just when you think a piece of software is ready to rock and roll, a last minute bug or two appears and slaps you in the face. Since UNOCS Bridge deals with the secure transfer of coins between parties, I understand the dev team to spend additional time stomping it out. Obviously, this launch didn't go as expected.. ok, lessons learned. I accept responsibility and will just have to hope that the end result will justify the pain up-front in your eyes.

I'm just waiting for the final green light from the team. As soon as I hear back, I'll immediately update this post.

Update on http://UNOCS.com now too

Notice - Killing bugs is taking longer then I thought. I am working hard to get this done asap.
I am hoping to be able to open the site in a couple more hours.
