Somehow it never got updated here , I will look into that..............there were updates to source / and new wallet release on github

Was done last month , Win-qt https://github.com/photonproject/photon/releases/tag/8.9.2.1a

Source code github https://github.com/photonproject/photon



Unrelated to this, just a little bitch out of mine.......


I find it rather ironic that regularly people on twitter or even through private mesg. here in the forum ask me to visit and comment to a specific thread for one thing or another , or all kinds of other favors..... ect, ect.......

If I don't know you and you have the nerve to ask me something like that consider the concept best summed up by the latin phrase quid pro quo

Fyi last week Photon turned one year old.

Thanks to all who have contributed.

When the dust settles & the scammers have skinned anyone dumb enough to be taken there will be still some great alt coins like Blake Coin , Photon & a few others which I support.

You may as well get involved now.

I'm not an 'I told ya so type of woman'

[cinnamon_carter]

 a few little updates,  routine maintainence.....

found one node that stopped for some unknown reason about a week ago..... restarted it...

same node was running blakebitcoin and lithium and they were stalled as well......

all fixed up now.... will continue to monitor things ......


other observations, kind of random things, on the various blake ecosystem networks,

someone recently moved a load of b+ based on coin age in the abe block crawler while a majority of photon that was mined early has not moved much..... so i guess people are 'hoarding' it...........

no weird stuff or unusual activity on the univ mol  or electron blockchains that i can see


Bluedragon747 our lead dev of the blake 256 ecosystem is mainly working on the MMO BlakeZone game that will use Blake Coin in the game as money for upgrades, weapons, and other premium items. BlueDragon stated Photon will be used in the game for purchcase of ammo !!


Here are a few photos of BlakeZone in case you have not seen it yet.

It is using the Unity 5 system for development.   It looks great and will be going into private beta testing as far as I know within the next month or so....

Been getting corrupted database message on every start of the wallet. Deleted everything but wallet.dat and redownloaded the block chain but no change. What else is there to do?

[cinnamon_carter]

Sorry you are having problems ...

error is 'corrupted database' every start of the wallet, yet you also mention you redownloaded the blockchain , did you then get the message after the blockchain downloaded ?

are you on linux or windows and which flavor/version .....

I assume you are using the most recent build of photon that was released on github here

https://github.com/photonproject/photon/releases

if not, which version /wallet are you using,

I cannot reproduce this error as I have tested the wallet quite a bit however one possible cause of it is several releases previously there was an upgrade in the version of level db used , upgrading to a new wallet with the new level db may rebuild your database once....

If you then used that wallet with an older client it may have reindexed again....

If possible can you post debug log file, let's have a look and try to help you out....

Sorry for a bit of misinformation. Searched "universal molecule bitcointalk" on Google and clicked the first link Did not notice the thread is for Photon. My photon wallet works fine.

However, the problem is with Universal Molecule and Electron. Running Win7 64bit Ultimate, wallet versions are Electron: v0.8.9.4-g8c5e74e-beta and Universal Molecule v0.8.14.1-g8c5e74e-beta

If anyone has any ideas what to do, I'd be more than glad to hear them.

[electron-coin]

Can't remember for sure if I have seen this error at some point.  May be related to the leveldb version. 

Have you try re-indexing the blocks?
Command prompt: Go to where your electron-qt.exe file is located.  Instead of typing electron-qt.exe to launch the client, type "electron-qt.exe -reindex" and it will launch the client and reindex all the blocks. 

Alternatively, in windows, right click the client icon.  Click copy.  Then click paste shortcut.  Then right click the shortcut icon.  Click properties. in the target field, add -reindex to the end of the commands. 

If reindex doesn't work, we can try the 0.8.9.1 version of electron-qt to see if that solves the problem.

[...] Universal Molecule v0.8.14.1-g8c5e74e-beta

I'm the UMO dev, that's exactly the same version i have running on my development machine. Have you tested copying your wallet.dat to a secure place, and then creating a new wallet? sometimes that happens with other coins, however it hasn't happened to me with any of the blake family coins.

You could also try a repair wallet procedure, but only after testing what i told you.

[cinnamon_carter]

Are you running the latest release of Electron for windows (I guess we are on win here correct me if I am wrong)


It is here

https://github.com/Electron-Coin2014/Electron-ELT/releases/tag/0.8.9.4a

I compiled it and tested it on various win machines, virtual and normal, at least 10 different machines............. I take building good wallets seriously

While reindexing if something got corrupt is a solution......... I wonder how this happened in the first place...

I have spent a lot of time making sure the clients released are error free..... please let me know how it goes......

If still having issues please post error log file from rpc console ......... you can put it here or on the electron coin thread and I may have a better idea what happened.  


Sorry you are having problems.



offtopic sort of.......... the univ mol client is same from initial release, (I think one release several months ago was done with just a checkpoint)

Should be tight although the developer of that coin built all the release versions not me.

I use a wallet I built myself but if it worked before on that computer for you I wonder what happened.......

My advice is back up your wallets on something other than that particular pc......


Let us know how this works out and we will help you !!









EDIT 1   If you are going to use the repair wallet command and it does not work our lead dev bluedragon747 built the python wallet repair program for the blake family, and it works well......... it is on the blake coin thread..........   



Another option that may be labor intensive if you have a lot of addresses is to use

listaddressgroupings


from rpc console and then dump the private key for each,  then import into a new wallet...................... 

that is a guaranteed way to repair a wallet but can take a half hour of copy and pasting them if you used many addresses... ect.....


just trying to offer a few helpful hints here not step on the Univ Mol dev's toes...........

Haha typical cinn! don't worry, it is your thread anyways

[cinnamon_carter]

lol


Chig, do you want me to update it to fork your repo, update it with coin control , the lastest level db, checkpoint it and release it then you can merge when you have time if you like??


Would be pretty easy at this point .........


I know you are busy and involved in many things however working on the blake coin system is my main project now so drop me a pm or get in touch other wise and let me know,  and will code up in a few days and do a gitpull after everything is tested...........  unless you want to continue to handle it which I know you certainly can.


This is just for you though dear.........  I don't want anyone to get the impression I am going to start pimping myself out on the street of crypto.....

My services are not available for ANYONE outside the core blake 256 family !!   

(other than a few coins I donated /spent time to code fixes or updates for because I wanted to suuport them or I happen to like them...........

someone is injecting bad blocks into elt/umo networks and it is crashing wallets which is taking out pools

Is this the reason ELT and UMO wallets need to be rebuilt?

Dunno if that is, but certainly that wouldn't help tho...

Let me check with Blue to see what is going on.  Had to reindex 3 wallets this morning already.

[cinnamon_carter]

i am doing some testing on the electron and umo network now

have been for a few hours,


opening up new nodes,


seeing ununual behauvor from a few nodes,


i won't say which ones for now,

was in touch with bluedroagon with the information...........


nothing is out of control now however I will find out who is messing around with the network if that is in fact what is happening
(appears that way)


i may blow you a kiss back over the wire if you are still connected , never know...........

Game looks pretty cool

[hardforkcoin]

The Blake-256 algorithm hash rate is just under 3x faster on the GPU and just over 2x on the FPGA compared with Bitcoin

The reason why we chose Blake is because it's 10x faster in GPU than in CPU.

It has the highest gap compared to all algos.
