[ANN][HUC] Huntercoin - Worlds First Decentralized Game/World on the Blockchain

[thrax]

Seems like a good time to download and attempt a resync of my old wallet. You guys are doing great work here, admirable motivation.

thank you for those kind words.

If it's been a long time since you synced - it might be quicker downloading the chain from

http://chain.huntercoin.org

p.s. there is not much point playing/harvesting until the next disaster (high risk)

There are currently 647 Hunters on the map ( http://www.huntercoin.org/unitymap.html ), all valued at 10 HUCs each. If you create a new Hunter now it will cost you 200 HUCs.. not worth the risk.

The next Disaster could be any time within the next 8 days.

Thanks for the link. We don't need any new nodes to sync do we?

[snailbrain]

no should just work through IRC,

but you can try

Code:

addnode=178.62.17.234

In case anyone missed the other thread - we need testers for all devices and don't forget to vote for the app..

very very much appreciated Bucktotal, as always much gratitude.

I've split with domob - not sure if he has forum access till midweek, but i'm sure he will give you his thanks.

let me know how/if the mac standalone live map works - I have only run on 1 machine..

- the wallet from maxpower i've not tested - but i think it should work on the later OS's

So, I'm using win7 x64, and I just downloaded the latest binaries for windows and the latest chain snapshot. I unzipped chain into data folder, and then launched huntercoin-qt. I see the icon in my tray, and huntercoin-qt.exe shows up in my task manager (using 0% cpu and about 316 MB of memory), but the program window never actually opens. I let it go for like an hour and then killed it from task manager, and the log file says:

And I just reopened it and it's still doing the same thing for last half hour or so (tray icon shows up and task manager lists huntercoin-qt, but no window ever opens).

Any suggestions?

yep,

if you are using an old chain (downloaded a long time ago), it will need converting to the new format... this process can take a very long time (was for performance and pruning benefits, even though it takes a very long time for conversion).

either wait, download from scratch, or download the chain from http://chain.huntercoin.org

hope this helps..

jsut re-read.. you must not have unzipped the chain into the correct data folder.. the downloaded chain won't convert (already done)

I just downloaded the chain from http://chain.huntercoin.org and the v1.2 binaries from forum.huntercoin.org last night. I specify the data dir when I launch huntercoin-qt (d:\wallets\huntercoin\data). It's storing the log files there and it also created the database folder there; it seems to use the alternate data directory ok...it's just never launching. I've been waiting several hours now. Any estimate on how long it might take?

hi mate.. something is not right, it will not convert unless it's converting an old chain... are you certain you unzipped the downloaded chain into that directory?
if you delete all your old chain from that directory is it all recreated and starts downloading from scratch?

Yea, I deleted everything before unzipping the 7+GB zip file from chain download into that folder. The only thing I left behind was my old wallet.dat. I guess later tonight I'll try deleting everything, moving wallet.dat out, and then unzipping chain zip again and see if it works better with fresh wallet.dat.

[MithrilMan]

no i confirm i've the same problem, downlaoded blockchain, left just hunetrcoin.conf, and the index is being rebuilt, and i'm using correct datadir, etc...

- nice

hey thanks!!

[snailbrain]

strange.. unless domob last updated with the wrong chain on his VPS a couple of days ago..

i was downloading it to test but will cancel, thanks MM

i will upload my chain now

[MithrilMan]

strange.. unless domob last updated with the wrong chain on his VPS a couple of days ago..

i will upload my chain now

the odd thing is that after that message, no other activity is going on and in the data folder i just see the blkindex.dat of 180kb and blkindex.dat.rewrite of 140kb

even blk0004.dat and blk0005.dat have been resetted and set to 180kb !?

hint: different berkeley db version between linux and windows? can be?

of course i tested on downloaded chain huc-583993.zip

[MithrilMan]

looking code on github it seems the check

if (nTxDbVersion < 1001300)

returns false because only there there is a call to rewrite the indexes, etc...


nTxDbVersion seems be set to VERSION that should be 1020000
maybe when you compiled the uploaded version on mega you compiled with a wrong VERSION?

i don't know, it sounds strange tho, and i can't debug that code (can't even compile) on my systems

[MithrilMan]

update:
i extracted again and i see the block4 5 and blkindex are extracted with 180kb size, so the zip isn't working

I'm thinking - corrupted chain he zipped up.. nothing else has changed.
I just downloaded the 1.2 release i uploaded and it's working fine with my chain

the last one i tested and worked was -- huc-552391 ..  I will try this (still have it) with the new client just to make sure everything is ok..
then we can confirm if issue with uploaded chain...

uploading latest chain, but may be a few hours..

ok cool to know

[fsb4000]

Just wondering why?
