[ryanb]

my wallet keeps going out of sync

it seems like i always have 12 blocks to catch up on

any ideas what is going on?

Hi ryanb, is this the win client or the mac client? How many peers do you have connected?  What is your block count and diff?

that is on windows

today i received a payment from the pool and not showing on my end and the wallet showing that it is in sync, now i am restarting it to se if it needs to resync

payment shows up after restart and difficulty is



{
"proof-of-work" : 0.45003811,
"proof-of-stake" : 0.00390625,
"search-interval" : 0
}


it was showing that it was in sync but when i restarted it download 128 blocks

Ok, you seem to be in good shape. How many peers do you keep connected? I keep 6-8 and I mine and stake without issue.   Do you use IRC?

[wmikrut]

Anyone else having this problem with 1.2.2.0.

I cleared out my %appdata% and attempted to re-download the clock chain.
(Yes, I left my wallet.dat and config file alone)

It runs for a while then I get this error:




Of course, this leads to this:



I have tried downloading a copy of the blockchain here.. I have tried other copies for download.
I have tried clearing out the %appdata% folder and allowing it to download again.. but I keep running into the same problem.

Helloa wmikrut. Sorry about your issues. I believe this is caused by encrypted wallets. There is a current bug which is causing encrypted  wallets to crash randomly from 2-10 minutes. I have not pinpointed this in the code yet, so I have no fix currently.  

For now there is a work around.  Please see here.

Edit: I also noticed you had a ton of orphans. Where you still downloading the block chain when you took the snapshot? You should not get that many orphans. I get about 4-7% PoS orphans. If you are getting more then that you may need to look at creating a stake wallet and combining your coins into bigger blocks.

Hello Tranz,

Yes, I believe I encrypted my wallet.

I tried several locations here, other sites... the one I currently loaded was from http://livechains.net
I will re-load the archive I downloaded from this topic and re-load the process.

I will combine the coins into bigger blocks ... right now I have tons of 'small' transactions always trying to generate stake.
Thank you for the work around... I will give it a go later today and report back!

I finally got the wallet to load and it looks like I am using the default wallet and I didn't encrypt it.
Perhaps it's a stake issue... I can fire it up after clearing %appdata% and it will run for quite a while.

It seems like once it hits a certain block it chokes up.
I'm letting the wallet re-download the blockchain.

I'll keep an eye on where it is once it starts giving me troubles.

First crash at 120,065 blocks remaining.
Will restart and see if it moves beyond this number.

[wmikrut]

The wallet's getblockcount reports 287403 blocks when it failed.
I am going to kill it and let it run again and see if I am 'stuck' on a block.

Wmikrut. I'm not sure what is causing your issues off hand? have you been able to get fully up-to-date yet?

To me it does sound like some type of wallet corruption. If it does crash again please try the following.


1) Navigate to %appdata%/HoboNickels directory
2) Rename your wallet.dat wallet-bad.dat
3) Startup the client with the parm -usewallet=""
4) After you are fully synced up. Let it sit for a while and see if it crashes. If not got 5, if so please report back here.
5) Using the load button, load up your wallet-bad.dat
6) If encrypted goto debug window/console and type usewallet bad walletpassphrase <your pass> 999999 If not skip to 7
7) At this point I would send your coins from bad to ~Default. Do a few test sends first.

As always be sure to keep backups of your wallet.dat and other wallets offline as well.

Please let me know if you have any success.

The fee is destroyed. The message in the newest QT 1.2.2.0 has been changed to reflect that.

I will also add this to the bounty for the block explorer. Thanks!

You know... I haven't tried restoring my wallet.dat file from my backup location.
Let me try that first... if I still have issues, I will try what you have listed above.

Thank you for the assistance in this... it is very much appreciated!

[wmikrut]

So far so good!   
I have ~ 132,000 blocks left to sync.

I haven't been able to get this far in a while.
Looks like my actual wallet.dat file was corrupt.

Good think I keep backups!

Good advice. I keep weekly backups of my wallets, especially staking wallets.  As new private keys will get added.

I do occasionally have difficulty catching up, if my internet goes out for a spell.  Still an issue?
