STAR COIN [STR] - The coin with bonus STAR blocks

[Hippie Tech]

another lifting from cryspay; lost 26500 from my wallet balance with this new client/blockchain; I've not mined since 14/08, why's that then?
I have backups and starting to like my old blockchain and client actually

Here is a tip from swiftshoot that may help. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279601.msg3216790#msg3216790

I have not tried this so you should look into it before making an attempt.

Nothing should be lost if you mined them, as only the last 2 days blocks regenerated and most are pos ones (only a few could be pow). You could try with the 1.5 client (we should caught up now with the old blockchain, so you don't need to use the new client with blacklist), and sync from the scratch.

What is the current height on the right chain?
You should want to update the block explorer's client...

[sheinsha]

Well i trust the client this is the current height:

Code:

    "blocks" : 194563,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 0.15034446,
    "errors" : "",
    "networkhashps" : 19203703,

Pool is back up with this chain, all welcome back

I thought I posted this already here but could not find my posting... Anyways here it is...
There is a problem with the Starcoin Wallet.  When I try to send over 48k coins... I get a transaction fee at 1.00 str but anything over 49k STRs it causes a transaction failed error.
Anyone else experiencing this?


Also, Could you update the 1st Post with the new wallet client (if there is one) so that we can download it?  Please put the version # and date updated so we can know when it has changed.

Thanks.

If I try changing over to the new blockchain I lose all my coins bar 0.8, everything I have from over a month of mining transactions as well as anything I have transferred in the past day or so to other accounts shows a question mark and those that were half way validated are never going to be validated?

Changing back to the backup of the original chain restores my balance, etc... but it won't sync ?

In changing to the new block are we expected to lose everything we have mined, if that is the case i'll be rather annoyed

btw I am stuck on 187926, my client never made it to 191569.. any help would be appreciated!!! THANKS

UPDATE: Its worth mentioning that after re-syncing the new blockchain from scratch I get the same problem with my wallet being empty bar 0.8 of a coin which is unconfirmed. Even though the other transactions in September show as valid the coins aren't there HELP! Time to abandon Starcoin?

DId you issue the command "checkwallet" after syncing?

goto the console and type help

[infinitevs]

Hi Swiftshoot,

Yeah that was my first thought, but the check came back no errors???

Any other ideas??

sync from scratch with 1.5 show balance down 26.5k.

edit: fixed, thanks to infinitevs for the post - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=259012.msg3375779#msg3375779

This could be because most if not all your peer connections have listen=0 set in their config.  I am having difficulty getting updated to latest version because nobody wants their wallet to be shared with others...

add
listen=1
maxconnections=15

to allow others to download/update your wallet correctly and hopefully it would fix your issue too.

I just checked my wallet and all peer clients (8 of them) has listen set to 0.  Therefore, it tells me I need to download blocks but can't cause none of them are allowing me to download it.  Guys check your starcoin.conf and add the 2 lines listed above.  Help the community to grow and work together.

[swiftshoot]

These are the only clients connected to Starcoin and they are not sharing their blockchains.  Please update your wallets so they act as listeners on the network and help others to get the chain.  Otherwise, Starcoin will die.

They seem to be set that way on purpose.

Other coins are having similar issues.

posts like the above list IP addresses and people don't like their IP published on some forum frequented by hackers and scammers, makes easy target, and you're likely to know what you'll find there. Perhaps there should be a rule of only sending peer info via PM at request.

Have updated the blockviewer. check you are up to the same blocks

Dreamhouse or NZDude, can you help with our coin loss/re-sync issues!!??

Swiftshoot my client is set to listen=1 and I have set to irc=1 and dnsseed=1 also, I checked getpeerinfo and you are right none of my peers are sharing their chain either, if you want to PM me your IP i will do the same and we can start by sharing with each other.... if that will help..

but just to clarify how exactly are you coming to that conclusion?

HippieTech, could you please elaborate on that?

thanks dreamhouse

Can you update page 1 with the proper version we need to run?  I am still running the version that is from 2013/09/20 as per Page 1.

The IP addresses in getpeerinfo is public domain.  Anyone can get this information either way.  Not posting IPs does not mean it makes you safe.  All they need to get your IPs are to run getpeerinfo themselves.  Hack attempts are not welcomed but this is the only way letting the general public know of possible issues.

If you are afraid of getting hacked, start learning about security and setting up defenses or the Internet is not a place for you to toy around in.

Personally, I am not afraid of people getting my IP Address.  My Honeypots will do their job in detecting intrusions and record/report infiltrations.

Paranoid users can simply do one thing right... power off their Internet connection.

Yes of course   although this remains on forum even if you send client and data dir to recycle bin.

You could backup your current data dir, e.g rename Starcoin.bak, don't move or copy your wallet.dat, you want to generate a new one.
Run client again, if it syncs, is not network problem...

[swiftshoot]

Ok found the listen=1 bug.  Starcoin has no uPnP capability and therefore the ports don't get forwarded to your Router.
You will need to add an entry into your Router or uPnP settings within Windows to allow users to connect to you.
