!<~~~~~[BAT] BatCoin - The Reincarnation [Stay tuned] ~~~~~>!

[Gazza1]

Ok I will give 1 Million coins to anyone who can fix this issue and keep it fixed for at least a couple weeks.  I'll give you 500k up front and another 500k after one week of flawlessness

I'm stuck on 3476 out of 3657 blocks.

Looks like due to the block reset I'm out 300,000 BAT!

Damn Son!

Ok, there was a commit yesterday that changed back the rand function used in GetBlockValue to the "normal" one : generateMTRandom
This wasn't there when I last updated the linux daemon code, on the 17th, when this was supposed to be fixed.

I'm pretty sure that what's happening is that the majority of the users/pools still have the old code, but the wallet has the new one, and at block 3476, the check of the block value relying on the previous block's hash does not validate when compared to the real block 3477 value. All of this because the random function changed, and in very particular cases the result of the rand() default function is not the same as the boost mt rand one with the same seed.
So ConnectBlock fails, because block 3477 with hash 9bc3e6455ffe34d45d1d4fc43eb346dbd4675a33e7c70c7bd8080b6146e422b3 is considered bad, when everyone out there being at block 4000 or 5000 should have this specific hash for this block.

If it really comes from this block 3477's hash not validating, then every block beyond the 3476 one is not valid.

That also explains why nobody can sync past it.

[madmartyk]

OK and the fix for this is?

[vaelrock]

Only the dev can confirm that this is the source of the sync issues.

If it is, there is no fix, because there is no problem. We simply have to do what .Batman asked already : update to the last wallet version and delete the blockchain data.
Linux users also have to get the last commit from the 17th via a git pull.

It will then resolve itself automatically.

My Wallet is Connected. Have a lot of unconfirmed  

I am missing a Transfer from the Pool, the coins are going to show up in the wallet? The transfer is from Coins that ware Mined when the chain was restarted. The pool is showing confirmed.

[MUBBLE86]

The windows client is long here,
But we can't seem to get it to sync all the way (sometimes does) -- there are to many people running the old client with the old chains!

DOWNALOAD THE NEW WINDOWS CLIENT

*DELETE YOUR OLD CHAIN (!!!!BACKUP WALLET.DAT!!!!)*

add to conf file:

Code:

rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
server=1
addnode=84.109.103.114
addnode=88.198.40.3

please give us other nodes  the node 88.198.40.3 is have the old wallet no sync and the 84.109.103.114 is offline long time

[jamieebotwin]

My BAT From the Miners Best Pool still have not shown up in the wallet!!!

Now, NO Sync on Wallet... Stuck on Block,  3555

[madmartyk]

I'm now stuck on the same block!

Can someone please explain files i need to delete in the folder....iv backed up wallet.dat but im seeing people loosing an lot of coins on re-syncing block chain...i dont feel like being one of those people tbh.

You can delete all files but wallet.dat in your App-Data Folder. Plus old batcoin-qt.exe of course. You can keep your batcoin.conf or create a new one. I just have done it this way and it  syncs actually. All coins are back in the wallet already.

Edit: Completely synced now, even without any nodes in .conf file. No problems at all.

Btw. I'm selling 500k BAT. PM me with an offer.

Thanks for reply, i thought this was the case, just needed some re-assurance. 

[quarkkid]

Sweet all synced up and ready to go....

Holy bank balance Batman!!

 

5 MILLION BAT....PM ME

[quarkkid]

WTF is this....   theres not even a working pool now?

[nfigueir]

I guess this is not forked any more... but that is just because forks only have 3 or 4 teeth...

This blockchain is probably a large and big tree with some many branches that I'm sure my coins are more than 80% lost now... and Batman keeps in the shadows without any proper feedback :| it's a shame it had good potential.

[Tansen]

Stuck at 3702

Says I may need to upgrade or other nodes may need to upgrade?

But the nodes are that of the ones on the front page updated conf

listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=1
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
rpcport=11689
port=10743
addnode=84.109.103.114
addnode=88.198.40.3

If I leave it on will it just correct it self? lol

EDIT: It's at 3706 now... but its out of 3839 blocks? I see some of you are in the 5000~

I deleted everything except my wallet.dat

[.Batman.]

well actually we shouted more than once to stop solo mining with old wallets, to hold and wait
so the block chain "tree" is on the community as well
right now (and hell knows why) there is more than 70% sitting on the legacy chain and screwing everyone else's chance to sync with the new one
want to blame it all on us? be my guest, i did not sleep for almost 4 days straight for this coin, i gained nothing from it, trying to fix something that people ruining and do not even try to support is not that easy
as i said
we fixed the fork
and some people caused another 5 just because it was so hard for them to stop solo with the old bugged wallets
and the super cool thing is that they still do
so they are the majority on the network
so you can't sync because the wallet shouts on your wallet that your good chain is "bad"
and that is something we CANT fix, if the majority here wants to sit on the old chain, it becomes the "good" chain by the network rules

p.s
if you would follow the instructions and upgrade the wallet, delete the old chain and run it with everyone else, it will work
there is nothing left for me and my team to fix, community behaviour is not something a dev can fix

[Gaukler]

i'm on block 3737 on 2 pc's ....

I deleted all files just saved the wallet.dat

hope i'm on the right one now
