Question if maybe the wallet can be more CPU optimized.

It constantly using much CPU power, up about 50% or more from my CPU (Intel i5 4.Gen) , compared to other Coins/ Stakewallets it`s huge:



Any thought´s why CAp wallet using so much CPU?

Hey Tranz... I Just got the new wallet V2.2.1.0 and it connected and synced just fine. I am also able to send coins to it with no problem. For some strange reason it is not staking coins. It is unlocked and enabled for staking. It says I have a 50% chance of staking in the next 30 seconds. It has not staked in the last 3 hours. Any idea what might be wrong? If it does not start staking soon I guess I will drop back to the old wallet.

No not sure, I haven't had any issues with it. There was very small changes between 2.2.0 and 2.2.1. And but for 3 lines of code nothing was really changed around the staking.

It has been 24 hours. Has it still not staked?

This is often a sign of a high number of coin blocks. Check your coin control. If you have over 500 blocks, you might want to combine them.  either using the split/combine thresholds or manually.

There is some code enhancements that can be done to further optimize the staking.  A future release may have this.

Forgot so combine after restart wallet

Hi Tranz,

I waited for about 5 hours and it did not stake. I switched back to the older wallet and it started working again. I will work on it some more this weekend. If I cannot get it working I may try reloading the blockchain from scratch that usually fixes things.

Thanks

I too have many blocks that need to be combined. I have been going into coin control via sendcoin and selecting small blocks sorted by the current day. I select these coins from the list and then send the entire group of coins to cryptsy and then send them back as a single block. Is this a good way to do combine blocks or is there a more efficient way?

I combined like this too. But just send them to yourself, that works faster. Keep in mind not to combine blocks much in excess of 10000 CAP to avoid hitting the max stake of 1000 CAP. And when you have combined your stash, you can use the splitthreshold command to control their splitting after they have staked.

Really wish I could figure out how to compile the wallet on a Raspberry PI 2.

Anyone had any success at all?

I haven't tried it yet but for future attempts I intended to reference:

If anyone wants to unload 100,000 CAP at market price. I just posted a 1btc buy order on cryptsy. Even if you want to unload a few thousand , I appreciate it.

Cheers, I already have Hyp staking on the PI. Having trouble with Caps though.

This is what I did:

1) Edit bottlecaps-qt.pro and remove the "msse2" flags
2) Edit bottlecaps-qt.pro and add "src/scrypt-arm.S \" right after "src/scrypt-x86_64.S \"
3) Add the scrypt-arm.S file to the \src folder

You can get this file from a number of other wallets. I used the one optimized for the ARMv7 and modificed for the Pi 2 DMD wallet. Get it here: https://github.com/feldenthorne/Diamond

4) Edit scrypt_mine.cpp and remove "#include <xmmintrin.h>"
5) qmake "USE_UPNP=1"
6) make

Voilà! A fully functional qt-wallet for the Rasberry Pi 2

Good luck! :-)

Thanks for the help guys. Had to use some of the hbn source files to get there but I am syncing now.

Cheers.

Where is the coin control feature located in the wallet? Or is it called somewhat else than 'coin control'? Can't find it.

[Jamesco]

Go to settings, then options, then click on the display tab. You have to enable display coin control features in this area. After this in the send coin tab you will have a coin control area where you can view the weight of your blocks ect.

Also I have noticed some new faces in the thread, so I just wanted to say to any newcomers welcome to the community!

Thank you very much! Although I'm not new to Caps, I've been looking for this for ages. You saved my staking

[vegasguy]

Ive placed a buy order on Cryptsy for the highest bid for over 200,000 bottlecaps. So if you have any amount you want to unload, please do. Thank you.
