[ANN] Philosopherstone - PHS | No Premine | Mandatory update 1.2Beta3

[Molitor]

I got the runaway exception too. The db.log said something about it happening copying between environments. Was the blockchain made in Linux, and fails in Windows?

i did what you said and i get a runaway exception error when i run philosopherstone with the new blockchian

Hmmm ... can you post your exception! Thx!

Alternatively you can
- delete your philosopherstone data directory (AFTER backing up wallet.dat)
- start the 1.2.0.0 client ... it will immediately stop again with the usual message ...
- create a new philosopherstone.conf file (don't for get the nodes!)
- delete the dat files (except the empty wallet.dat file) and the files in the database directory (NOT the directory itself)
- copy in the files from the zip file
- start philosopherstoned again ... let it catch up with the chain
- stop philosopherstoned
- delete the empty wallet.dat
- copy in your wallet.dat
- start philosopherstoned
YOU SHOULD BE FINE!

Yes it was made on Linux ... sorry I forgot to mention this.

yeah, thats to much trouble. i want my money back Moray

[xavenged]

so which is the correct fork to be on

Hmmm .... It is actually none of my business and I couldn't care less about your LTC's ...
BUT ... If he sent you the coins using the correct chain, it is your responsibility to maintain an up-to-date client and not his. He did nothing wrong.
On the other hand, if he is/was on the wrong chain ... then he should send the LTC's back to you.

Just my 0.000005 (worthless) PHS's

there were no problems when he sent them to me two days ago(i was on the new client by the way, i downloaded v1.2.0.0.0 to make the transaction as i had never used PHS prior to the trade. then today when the fork or whatever happened bam, all my 930 phs gone. regardless he has refused to reimburse me my LTC and ignores my private messages which leads me to believe he did this knowingly

I have a windows version,  one4many,.. as I posted above, are we on the same chain?

And if so, which files do these guys need

[Molitor]

FINALLY!

I just dumped everything except the conf with the ONLY the new nodes. It sync'ed after a while. Stopped it, copied back my wallet, and now it's resynced, checking the transactions one by one, slowly. Except a whole bunch of 'Generated but not accepted', so far. I'll rescan when it's done.

I didn't need the new blockchain.

Hopefully this will work for others. It seems like it hangs a few times, so you have to be a little patient.

Great ... it looks like we (you and me) are on the same chain ... current block in my client is: 8216 [EDIT: 8217 now]

So they need all .dat files from your Philosopherstone data directory ... WITHOUT wallet.dat and peers.dat

All the best!

Hmmm... I'm all synced with most things confirmed, but: "Current number of blocks: 6290"

[Palmdetroit]

Seems like the original nodes in dev post are bad? Im testing ones you posted above, ie

addnode=24.6.21.198
addnode=46.150.89.173
addnode=64.120.17.149
addnode=70.29.193.48
addnode=125.79.142.201

 if all is well will post some win files shortly

[Palmdetroit]

Hmmm... I'm all synced with most things confirmed, but: "Current number of blocks: 6290"

Im currently stuck here as well, with one4many's node list... 1.2

will wait and c

It seems that too many clients have not yet updated to version 1.2 ... they propagate the "old chain" which seems to have stopped at 6290.  
May be the OP/DEV could bring out another software update which ignores those guys in the network, then at least it would be a proper split everyone would notice ... Just speculating here, not sure if this is possible at all.

[Molitor]

All sync'd but it was at 6290, so I Restarted with -rescan and... Est. total blocks is now 8219.

Now I have ~1923 blocks remaining, and it's moving slowly.

Wait... Now it's sync'd.

Or something, I don't know anymore.

So there are three chains??

Mine synced and block at 6290.  Some reporting syncing with block in the 8000.  WTF!

Going to sync one more time with only the config file.

mine keeps getting stuck at 6084

I believe I am synced now. Using ONLY the NEW nodes posted:

addnode=24.6.21.198
addnode=46.150.89.173
addnode=64.120.17.149
addnode=70.29.193.48
addnode=125.79.142.201

I waited for it to "sync" (at like 6290), then restarted with the -rescan option, and it fully synced. I don't think it would without the -rescan.
