[ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade

[Hilux74]

I have got it nearly synced now, but there is clearly something fundamentally wrong.

The wallet will sync for a maximum of three minutes, after which all incoming network traffic appears to stop but some outgoing network traffic still occurs. This is very repeatable, except that sometimes when the wallet is started there is no network traffic in either direction. There is nothing wrong with the pc - that runs other wallets (and miners) without a single hiccup.

I have seen/had problems myself with DNS and wondered if this might be a factor? Are the seed nodes hardcoded into the wallet as domain names or IP addresses?

Edit: The wallet synced and had been idle for some time when it just crashed with an assertion failure

Not sure what your difficulty is.  Recently reinstalled Win64 Quark client on 4 different PCs over the last month.  Just double click and let it run and find peers, did not manually add any nodes.  Worked just fine and sync'ed with no issues each time.

I have no idea what the fault is either and I am an expert at these things. The machine is running just vanilla Windows 7 64 bit entirely up to date and it runs faultlessly with everything else I throw at it. It no longer matters to me though, since I did what I had to with the wallet for now. I will probably just run up the wallet daily from now on to keep it synced. I will definitely try it on a few other machines though, just to satisfy my curiosity.

Thanks for all your replies

Just did a fresh install on a Ubuntu 14  x64 version and I encountered no issues, I also use it on Windows 64bit and again no connectivity issues. I use this conf http://quarktalk.org/resources/quark-core-wallet-configuration-file.14/ btw and bootstrap.dat contains the first year+ of blocks which gets installed in half an hour vs 12-24 hours without it.

Yday downloaded a fresh wallet and almost instantly get 19 nodes. Synced quite a fast. Maybe if you run an old wallet with old nodes recorded then it would be faster to sync it from scratch. Another way is to manually add an exchange or a pool. They always have a large list of active nodes.

so what is the current situation with quark?

Now that is a superb question.

I have not opened my Quark wallet for some time for a number of reasons which are not important.

However, when I did so, it would not sync. I fixed that by searching via Google for some recent addnodes to add to my conf file. Why the older ones from just September last year did not work is anybody's guess, but it surprised me. Anybody less capable than me would have been stuck.

Next of course was the fact that being so out of date, a recent blockchain snapshot (bootstrap.dat or whatever) would have been nice. The only link for that was a torrent that was not available to me until I registered on the Quark forum. I did that hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours ago, but have not yet been authorized to download even that torrent file.

I cannot yet even post to the forum because ... well you tell me.

Meantime my wallet is syncing the old fashioned way. In a couple of days it might get there.

Not good enough guys


Crucial resources should not only be open to registered and approved forum members. What are you thinking

It only took 5 weeks for the seednodes to be updated after the servers were destroyed? Thats a long time before anyone (Max or Quark Forum Dev/participants) noticed...I did forward the below email (dated 4/22!) to Max regarding the overdue account (initially started with Quark Foundation funds)- but there was no reply because it is OBVIOUSLY not being monitored...
