[TEK] TEKcoin Hi-PoS hybrid pos/pow no premine/ipo/ico

[ryanb]

I got cannot initialize keypool when i ran salvagewallet and now i am getting the same when i run the wallet without the salavage command

OK, this one will updated, no more reposting.

We finally have a working TEK again. Of course, caution should be exercised.

0. Everywhere on this tutorial case matters, especially on Unix (Mac and Linux). "T" is not the same letter a "t".
1. Backup your wallet (%appdata%/Teckcoin/wallet.dat on Windows, ~/.tekcoin/wallet.dat on Unix). Ideally two instances on two USB disks.
2. Empty your wallet folder (%appdata%/Teckcoin on Windows, ~/.tekcoin on Unix - Mac and Linux)
3. Copy your backup wallet on the now-empty folder (copy, not move - keep these backups!)
4. In the same wallet folder, create a tekcoin.conf (if you're on Mac of Linux) or tekcoin.config (if you're on Windows) file with the following code:
listen=0
addnode=74.196.63.95
addnode=75.90.67.140
addnode=188.168.134.55
addnode=159.205.243.208
addnode=94.220.6.66
addnode=69.181.230.66
addnode=108.61.10.90
addnode=62.116.254.204
addnode=193.53.89.147
addnode=98.162.248.8
addnode=75.152.82.196
If you are using notepad.exe, you will have to change the .txt extension to .conf. How to do this is beyond the scope of this tutorial[/tt].
5. Download the latest wallet (see addresses on the OP
   - source https://github.com/maxxine/TEK
   - Windows http://www.mediafire.com/download/82390o41vsnwv5v/Tekcoin-qt-fix.zip
   - Mac https://www.dropbox.com/s/y17rjlji1ruxgsv/tekcoin-Qt-2.0.1.0-Mac.zip?dl=0
For Linux users, until there is a binary available, you must manually change Makefile to remove this character string several times: mgw48- - this is an oversight, it will hopefully get fixed later on.
Presently, the wallet includes neither the newer layout nor checkpoints.
6. Run this command (you can ignore this step if you have a pre-forks backup at hand)

Code:

Tekcoin-qt.exe --salvagewallet

We assume you know how to open up a terminal ("DOS window").
For Unix users, replace Tekcoin-qt.exe with Tekcoin-qt.
it will redownload the whole blockchain, which is long but necessary, you'd better not just keep the old blockchain.
You can know if you are on the correct blockchain by typing getinfo in the console or use the stats tab on new GUI. The correct chain is on block 510264
For information, the repair wallet button on the GUI will only look to fill in missing pieces, whilst --salvagewallet will actually attempt to recreate your wallet. If you have coins stuck in unconfirmed even after using Repair wallet, use -rescan.

Note that, if you want to have something closer to the advertised 40%, you should WAIT before stacking, because of high competition (and thus, do not leave you wallet open more than for checking it works). Please note this is not an evidence that NVCS is really working as it should, only that under exceptional circumstances, it does sort work - but this is still not sure it works as intended. Presstab elaborated on this.

The recommended IPs are showing:

Should the subver be 2.0.1 ??

Thanks, Jason

No.  Client should be 2.0.1

Blockchain sub version should be 2.0.0

You're missing a very important node:

connect=71.187.236.173

That one is fully synced and working 24/7.

Also, salvagewallet is not needed if you can use a wallet backup from pre-fork or if your wallet isn't missing anything.

OK, this one will updated, no more reposting.

Should the subver be 2.0.1 ??

Thanks, Jason

Where can I find this version etc. Is it in the debug console??

in the debug console

getinfo

Client # will be in your wallet info.

How can I block ip's who are on the wrong subversion???

I have a number of good ip's now.

[vancefox]

Use connect instead of addnode and change listen to 0.

I have coins stuck in unconfirmed and i did repairwallet they are still there

How do i fix it?

Start wallet with -rescan option.

I did that. But named my file tekcoin.config    

tekcoin.conf     that's the right one:

listen=0

connect=75.90.67.140
connect=68.229.91.209

Now all the nodes are the right ones.
I'm at 75% of all the blocks.

If you not download block 506500 restart wallet with new .conf

Generated coins must mature 30 blocks before they can be spent. When you generated this block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block chain. If it fails to get into the chain, its state will change to "not accepted" and it won't be spendable. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a block within a few seconds of yours.

[vancefox]

For everyone's knowledge:

.conf is for MAC
.config is for PC

I will assume you have the same equipment as I, and a majority, do... if you don't have the more common equipment, let us know that information when you ask a question...

Use connect instead of addnode and change listen to 0.

@johan

I'm now at 410225. 80% of the blockchain.
I'm connected to 3 peers, all on with version: 60007
and "subver" : "/tekcoin:2.0.0/"

How it will sync in the right way now. Then I can check my different wallet.dat files.
I stake for some friends as well. Some coins were at stake when the whole network got splitted.
Hope things will work out fine this time

You mean block ended up orphaned? If so, stake used to generate it is back where it was before (stakepool) ready to be staked.

It is .conf in all cases, as far as I know.

Looks like as long as the difficulty is around 0.0023, then the stake % given is going to be at the current 201% annual rate (see stakeinterest above).

My "getmininginfo" doesn't show "PoS difficulty" or "stakeinterest".  "stakeinterest" would be a very useful number.  Did you do anything special to have it show up?

[subSTRATA]

getdifficulty shows both PoW and PoS difficulties but note that values shown are for last generated and accepted block, not current one (next block that will be generated).
