Guys, I have several reports from different users that wallet crashes sometimes in incomprehensible manner, stops syncing with strange wallet.dat DB error and so on.
After solving this issues with them privately I'd like to ask everyone now:
Please verify your wallet version reported by getinfo is the most recent one.

That's how you do this:
Open "Tools" -> "Debug console" and type "getinfo". Look for the field "walletversion" and if it doesn't match 61000 please do upgrade your wallet buy running it once with -upgradewallet command-line option. Do not forget to close your wallet first and make sure you have the most recent backup available just in case.

Mine said version 60001 until I used -upgradewallet.

That is weird!  Newly installed QT executable downloaded only a few days ago...

People need a link to a guide in the OP to official information on upgrading old wallets.  I'm actually thinking of people that bought last April/May/June and who have not touched their wallets since then.

Why them in particular? We had quite a lot of interest and many would have bought some during the rise in price to $15, sold and kept a few 'just in case'. people in this thread were posting - buy some Dark and forget about them for a year or two.

It would be nice for those people to come back and find their decision to hold a few, just in case, worked out well, without too many headaches to get upgraded.

Just a thought.

Oh never knew about this.. All my MN wallets were still showing "walletversion" : 60000, using the -upgradewallet parameter in the wallet-shortcut fixed it for me: "walletversion" : 61000.

Why isn't the wallet upgraded automatically? And what are the risks of running an 'outdated' wallet? And is it perhaps smart to always start the wallet with the -upgradewallet parameter?

"walletversion" is for internal structure of wallet.dat and has nothing to do with qt/daemon executables. Basically Darkcoin started as a litecoin 0.8 fork and wallet.dat structure changed few times already as we had few major versions following changes in bitcoin. The latest structure changes were introduced in Core I believe.
They are meant to be compatible however (wallet should give an alert when you have an incompatible version, there are few checks in code). It looks like smth was changed in bitcoin that might break stuff with old versions which considered to be compatible.

And btw, there is no need to run with -upgradewallet option every single time but yeah, it might be a good thing to notify everyone next time it changes.

Thanks for the clarification!

Might be a good idea to have some kind of guide about stuff like this. I'm not that experienced with QT's and wallets, but I started working on a security guide for Darkcoin solely to keep your wallet.dat secure using encrypted containers and automated backups. If there's anyone willing to help out, feel free to contact me!

Thanks for that.

I don't think people will realise for a while just how big this is.

I have just started looking into the concept of crypto and torrents and I think this is one of those areas that will push bitcoin prices, and altcoin prices along with it, to new highs.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=932096.msg10231367#msg10231367

Forget Coinbase getting regulated. Forget ETFs. This is the next big news explosion for bitcoin and bitcoin prices.

Just look at how many torrent clients got downloaded over the last year or two



People love to download stuff, for free.

Take into account sensitive information leaks, and bitcoin will be in the media every single day. Front page news, every news channel. Every major leak will be broadcast around the world - the latest leak and how to find it.

If confidential commercial information gets posted into Bitcoin and ransom demands are made and people want paying in Bitcoin, then businesses will be buying tens of thousands of bitcoins in order to pay ransoms.

If BTC doesn't go to $10,000 over the next few years, then I'll shag a sheep.

edit

This will likely cause political pressure to shutdown Bitcoin. Vested interests will pour money into lobby groups. They will stuff millions into the coffers of politicians to bring in new laws to ban Bitcoin.

While I think Bitcoin will still go to $10,000/BTC, I think Darkcoin will see an even bigger rise as the focus of attention shifts to something that is harder to track and therefore potentially harder to shutdown than BTC. Why?  

I can see a time when Senator's call up a blockchain and say look, that's the transaction that contains details of all our secret missile bases. Shut the fuckers down or American will become an easy target.

Ripple fairly tanking like a brick.

XRP is no scam/nonsense coin. Its an inter-bank-crypto-club of sorts... but not really a scam. Or did you mean XPY?
What on earth is CPY?

I don't think Ripple is a scam but I do think it's a "nonsense" currency. (In the sense that it is a conveyor belt for fiat which actually works better without a blockchain).

I don't even know what it's doing in crypto listings.

What on earth is CPY?

Sorry, I meant XPY  

...now fixed.

 Ah yes, totally agree. After Satoshi released us from the grips of banking, there comes along a wolf in sheep's clothes.

I was just celebrating the fact that justice appears to be beginning to loom over the horizon on all fronts:

 - XPY tanking
 - XRP tanking
 - Bitcoin consolidating
 - DRK consolidating
 
I'm even happy with Maidsafe coin being there because at least that's a complimentary technology (built by a Glaswegian !!! - well, Kilmarnock, almost - I'm obliged to give it a fair wind due to regional loyalties).
