[ANN] FoxCoin - A Fully Dynamic Cyptocurrency [DYING]

[smartMav]

Guys,

During 1st time synchro, wallet is hanging on acre 64579. Any1 can help with this issue?
By the way, where is real dev?

[mechtronic2001]

It seems that new users installing the windows 1.6 wallet will get stuck at block 72160  when the wallet updates. At sourceforge, the 1.5.3 wallet is also available, you will need this to fix the problem.

I did this :

1) installed 1.6 and started it up (not expecting issues)

2) when 1.6 didn't update anymore bc it reached 72160 (click statistics to see where it is at), i wqent to sourceforge, downloaded 1.5.3 and then started that one, it instantly went past 72160 and starteed updating further. i closed 1.5.3 as soon as it got past 72160 .

3) After this, starting 1.6 again, everything seems to work fine

If any new developer picks up the coin, fixing 1.6 to handle a fresh install and not get stuck on 72160 should have very high priority. I'm afraid new users will be scared off, seeing that the wallet doesn't work.

I have several major issues at the moment.

First and foremost, I cannot synchronize the wallet past blockheight 72160, no matter what I do.  I've gone so far as to back up and then delete all of my FoxCoin data, perform a fresh install of version 1.6.0 and let it attempt to synchronize.  Always, without fail, the synch stops at 72160 exactly, with a block time of Tue Mar 11 17:44:34 2014

Thinking it might initially have been wallet corruption, I made a new wallet and tried again.  No joy.

To add insult to injury, I tried to bring the keys from my old wallet across using dumpprivkey and then importprivkey in the new wallet.  No matter what, I always got the following message on the import attempt:

 {"code":-5,"message":"Invalid private key"}

I have included in the foxcoin.conf addnode lines for every node listed in the first post, in the infrastructure section on foxcoin.info, and even off of the screenshots I saw on the thread on page 74.  Nothing makes a difference.

I see no way forward, and no way back.

I cannot see it making sense to continue mining a coin that I cannot (at this point) ever spend, transfer, or otherwise interact with.
It looks like a 100% loss of all of the mining effort I have applied up until this point, which seems like the worst-case failure scenario for any coin, ever.

What say you, AnonyFox?

I've been having this issue for a while thank you! I add this link for anyone having the issues http://sourceforge.net/projects/foxcoin/files/?source=navbar

Farewell FOX 
I hope someone some day will reignite you

Why it is dying?
One reason for sure, is DEV/S not active at all.
https://github.com/CoinFox/FoxCoin/issues/7
I have reported it 3 months ago! Not a single reply.
Just can`t run fresh wallet on linux - git copy is not running on both 32 and 64 bit machines.

Indeed,

I also tried to launch FOX under CentOS and wallet unpredictably crashed.

With these crashes there is no way to start new pools supporting FOX network.

What is a reason to clone first page here with a lot of incorrect information atm?

[Forexperiments]

blackhatzw likes to quote the whole first page... 

[farvali]

So what does the FOX need to be up again? How can I help?

[akrobet]

New strategy, branding, algo (maybe http://www.feathercoin.com/neo-scrypt-press-release.pdf ) and last but not least a unique selling point

Interesting coin.

The syncing issue is probably a hard fork due to a client update the block after it hangs on so the earlier client can sync to that block and the updated one can carry on where that finished as the checkpoints will match the blockchain with the respective clients.

This can be easily fixed with normally a line of code, maybe two to get the client to download the whole blockchain from scratch.

There is also alot going on with this wallet isn't there? It is functionality central, might aswell add in there integrated IRC chat too boot.

Very interesting coin indeed.

I can have a look at the source code if anyone wants me to, post a few suggestions?

I would like this coin up and running again.  If anyone could provide an update and link that would be great.
It's strange that this coin just died.

Yes. There are news. The coin is totally dead for about a month. Zero connections.

what does it have to do with FOX?

[krinjah]

It would be nice if some dev took over this coin. Many old coins have been revived these days 

[mnwycombe]

Looking for the latest blockchain to revive FOX. My FOX blockchain download is too short, ending at block 29059.
Maybe someone can help with a blockchain download past block 70000?

[peme]

I do still have a working foxcoin win wallet. I do get 3 connections and blockchain is downloading.
Are there any pools or exchanges for Foxcoin?

...there is still an old link at coinmarketcap:
