happy to say both yobit and cryptopia are making some real strides in becoming legitimate altcoin exchanges. can definitely see them being the new bittrex and cryptsy barring a hack.

Zeit Coin Staking Tips

1. Make sure your PC's Time is correct.
   Ver 2.0.1.7 requires your PC time to be within 1 minute of correct time.

2. Amount of Zeit to have per block.
    Blocks with 50 thousand zeit per block or more will stake within 30 days
    Blocks around 5 thousand zeit per block will usually stake in 30 to 60 days
    Blocks of 2 thousand zeit and below, may not stake within a year.

Recommend merging amounts of zeit under 2 thousand per block to higher amounts.

Zeit Wallet response and feel are dependent upon individual CPU & Memory Specifications
But if your wallet feels unresponsive and you want it to be more responsive and use less cpu,
merge your blocks , so that your wallet contains fewer blocks with more zeit in each block.

Been merging my smaller blocks and the calculated fee is higher than the actual fee, no biggie just a little annoying to end up with a 0,x zeit block.
Other than that awesome job!

My new wallet synchronizes already two days and it looks like it is half...

This is normal?

Depends , if you used the Snapshot done in a 2 or 3 hours, bootstrap should be done in less than 36 hours.
If you are just syncing , then expect a week, and download the autorestart script for your OS so you don't have to manually restart the client.
Personally just use the snapshot , it is the fastest.

Which way are you using?

Then Delete 5  files :  .lock & blk0001.dat & blkindex.dat & db.log & debug.log
Then Delete 1 folder named : database
Then Unpack and copy the files from ZeitcoinBlockchainSnapshot into

Happy Fourth of July to all of my fellow Americans! Be safe today, don't drink and drive, but do have fun! And to all my British friends.... WE TOTALLY KICKED YOUR ASSES IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR!!!!  I keed, I keed! Love you guys! Fish and chips!

[LionOfNarnia]

Well, I finally got enough of a break at the mint to upgrade.

- Used the 'snapshot' method, totally smooth & easy.

LUVVIN' the new twirly thing for syncing btw

@steve - yeah you won like you did in 'nam. Enjoy your party, it might be your last.

[stevegreer]

@steve - yeah you won like you did in 'nam. Enjoy your party, it might be your last.

Ah yes, good ole 'nam. One of many wars we had no business getting involved in. And you are probably right. With the way liberalism is poisoning our society it could very well be that some day soon we won't be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July out of fear of offending someone.

Zeit daemon is using an unusually large amount of CPU. Has anyone experienced this with linux daemon? Between 40-100% of my CPU. Mintcoin has a similar chain size and uses about 7-10% cpu. Anyone else seeing these type of issues?

EDIT: had to kill it for now until I can figure this out, its making other coins explorers not operational.

From time to time the daemon / wallet needs a lot of CPU power. (OS independent / stake locked)
On linux you could reserve zeitcoind 10% of cpu power which doesn't solve the problem itself.
That's why my own explorer is not running on a VPS longer than 1 hour without freezing every single linux service.

Zeitcoin is an early Mint clone. Other sites don't have that issue (fixed?) - maybe Mullick from Cryptsy has any idea.
Edit: log is showing a lot of getblock messages while high CPU usage

Code:

getblocks 413499 to 00000000000000000000 limit 500
  getblocks stopping at limit 413998 3d3a467bb6e5e7d462c0

I get this condition from time to time on a win8 VM as well. The client GUI never loads, but instead displays a blank window. The only thing that seems to reliably fix the situation is a restart of the OS. The CryptoBullion(CBX) client exhibits the same behavior.

Code:

getblocks 362999 to 00000000000000000000 limit 500

Sounds like nodes requesting blocks is what is consuming large resource? I set listen=0 in the conf, thought it was supposed to prevent listening to these getblocks requests, maybe it doesn't. I will check into my logs tomorrow after the holiday and see what I can figure out. I may just have to edit the source to ignore these requests.

If you're able find the cause, feel free to commit your fix. That would be very nice.
In the meantime I'll try to find out how our other service partners managed that issue.

Thanks,

There is much to-do during the coming releases.
I wish there were more hours in a day ...
Try to kill the process in win task manager. That should help.

Cheers

Edit: 2 of you guys are working with beta clients
addnode=115.126.182.28

This version is not able to stake. I've sent an alert to all protocols <60008 Please update to final release.

That is Brilliant, I was wondering why I did not see the update message, it was only on the old clients.

Running a Zeit Node on a VPS,
Windows 2008 , Dual Virtual Processors 2.27ghz, 1 gig of virtual ram
Average Cpu % ~25% per 60 seconds according to resource monitor,
no zeitcoins in the wallet, and since no zeitcoins , the wallet is not encrypted
Active Connections ~20

Windows 2008 , Single Virtual Processors 2.27ghz, 1 gig of virtual ram
Average Cpu % ~40% per 60 seconds according to resource monitor
no zeitcoins in the wallet, and since no zeitcoins , the wallet is not encrypted
Active Connections ~20

Memory usage ~640 megabytes on both,
If your VPS does not have enough ram, it might be swapping out to disk increasing CPU %.

Compared Zeit & Mint on a VPS with Quad Processor with 4 gig of ram,
Even with both running , they both used the same amount of memory and CPU %
Averaging ~5% cpu each.
Zeit was staking , Mint was not.

What are the hardware specs for your VPS?

Zeit Active Connection Tips For Zeit Users running Windows

If your Zeit Active network connection stay Low or you suffer from a lot of disconnects in your debug log.
As usual , we can blame Microsoft, the windows firewall is a strange creature, even thru Zeit seems to work without making changes to the windows firewall , it seems to cause some issues.

Some Windows users may have trouble finding active connections or only are able to keep a low number active like 5 or 9 or the Number seems to rise and fall within a few minutes, instead of staying fairly stable.

Solution to this, was a zeitcoin.conf with addnodes that kept the active connections as high as 20.

New Solution , since issue was caused by windows firewall:

Windows :
Click start, click control panel, click Windows Firewall,
Make a note on which network is connected Home/Work or Public
Then Click on Allow a Program or feature thru Windows Firewall , click allow another program, click browse , then go to the folder with zeitcoin-qt.exe , select zeitcoin-qt.exe  , click open, click add ,
 
It should then be in the list of allowed programs with a check mark to the left and a check mark on the right side under home/work or public (you want it to be on the 1 that showed as connected), Click OK , and then reboot.

Next time you start the Zeit client, your active connections can reach in the 50s.

And you are good to go.

 

FYI:
If you prefer a lower number of active connections , just add this to the shortcut starting zeitcoin,
zeitcoin-qt.exe -maxconnections=15

Hi guys, I just left an update in the zeitcoin members forum. I put it under my intro forum post username Dale. No idea if I've put it in the right place or anyone will see it. If you are a moderator will you check it's in the right spot please! Thanks. Oh I just bought the remaining shares on the zeitcoin bitnode. Hope that helps somehow, no idea what it is!

Love

Dale

Taking the advantage of how boring the yesterday Copa America final game was, I managed to update the wallet to the newest version (from 2.0.1.6). It looks great! Kudos to Ray!
The whole update process went very smooth and using the snapshot provided by kiklo, I managed to finish updating the wallet before the game ended (there was an extra time and penalties, but I started about 30 minute of the first half, so my guesstimate is, it took me about 1,5 hours). I followed strictly the instructions and I didn't get any issues, the only two extra things I had to do (and I would like to share, in case someone needs it) were rather natural in case you are updating any qt wallet:
- run a checkwallet and repairwallet commands, as the amount of coins imported was initially zero, repairwallet restored the corrected amount.
- restart the wallet manually, I know that there is also a script for doing that automatically, but doing it just once was sufficient, so I never needed a script.

I run a VM Win7, and things are quite smooth, with similar performance benchmarks to these given by kiklo.
I am able to stake simultaneously two other wallets, without any problems. Having more may be too much, but I never really went into testing the limits.
