★ ZEIT ★ [COMMUNITY & KNIGHTS] [ULTRA LOW INFLATION] [MICRO-PAYMENTS]

[Zin-Zang]

With help from community here's steps I took to get MAC WALLET up and running.  

Thought I'd consolidate to make easier on future person.


Download Wallet and find overall information from the Opening Page:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=487814.0

Download “Snapshot” ‘.rar file Here:
https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/1336?postId=7831
*Note the directions on this are for Windows but the ".rar" file is same

Open Wallet you downloaded

Close Wallet

Open folder: Library/Application Support/zeitcoin
*Note, it’s hard to find “hidden” folders in macs. This is what threw me off.  Here’s a good direction (from a user here!) on how to find that folder: https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-show-hidden-files-library-folder-mac-3520878/

Move .rar file to Library/Application Support/zeitcoin

“Uncompress” .rar file in Library/Application Support/zeitcoin
*Note, I had to download this application and it worked like a charm:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dr-unarchiver-rar-zip-tool/id1127253508?mt=12

You will notice a new folder Library/Application Support/zeitcoin/
ZeitBlockChainSnapShot-2018-01-09
*the name of the folder will be in sync with current .rar (snapshot) you downloaded

Move any file or folder from that new folder (Library/Application Support/zeitcoin/
ZeitBlockChainSnapShot-2018-01-09)  into main folder Library/Application Support/zeitcoin)

BEFORE YOU DO THAT, delete in main folder (Library/Application Support/zeitcoin) anything named the same in the new snapshot folder.  The new ones are the ones you want to use.

After that's done Open Wallet

It should be syncing. It takes a few hours for the first time so leave it open but once it does it works.

"Help/Debug" in wallet shows you status of how many blocks are left and how far back the last block was. If it's 100's or 1000s of days ago it's not correct.

ONce synced you'll get a confirmation.  

Then

Test receiving small amount of ZEIT in from an exchange. Confirm

Test sending small amount of ZEIT out back to exchange Confirm.

“Encrypt” your wallet.  DON’T LOSE YOUR PASS PHRASE.  

Use your wallet.

Once you have base coins in there BACKUP wallet.dat in a safe place with a date stamp so you can use that with your pass phrase if you ever need to.

I keep my wallet locked and not into “minting” and all that right now.  Happy to have control of my investment (not a small one for me at this guppy at this point) so will secure and figure out if I want to do that later.  But prob leave that to others since stake rate is low.  Which actually is a good thing for stability of coin.  

Hope this helps and any “knights” who think I did something wrong please raise red flag for myself and others.

On a MAC 10.13.3.  I downloaded the snapshot. Followed the directions. It ignored the blk0001.dat and it just created a blk0002. The syncing is at 1457 days ago (0.08%) why would it do that?

You must have missed a step.
Be sure you delete the old blockchain files, but be sure to have a backup of your wallet.dat if you have coins in it.
Make sure your Mac has it where you can view hidden files and make sure you extract the snapshot to the correct directory
* If your rar extraction program was set not to overwrite files and you already have a blk001.dat file in the directory , it would cause the problem you described.*

ACTIVE Wallet:Install Instructions ,
(Be sure to have a backup of your Wallet.dat 1st)
Make sure Zeitcoin is closed
Go under c:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Zeitcoin (for Windows) or in the Zeitcoin data folder for other OSes
Then Delete 5 files : .lock & blk0001.dat & blk0002.dat & db.log & debug.log
Then Delete 2 folders named : database & txleveldb
Then Extract and copy the files from ZeitcoinBlockchainSnapshot into
C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Zeitcoin or in the Zeitcoin data folder for other OSes
Then open Zeitcoin and it will start syncing the BlockChain from the last snapshot.

* For Macs your Folder should be Library/Application Support/zeitcoin. *

Yes, I deleted all of the above files including old blk0001.dat then dragged in the blk0001.dat that the snapshot created. What is the [/color] you mention?

I just checked my wallet again - still 0 ZEIT is there - so I also checked again my SouthXchange account and I see theres my 1.9M ZEIT.

BUT - what I dont understand (and SouthXchange doesnt really show good info) - I withdrew 1.1M Zeit to my wallets address on Jan 13 - and it says confirmed - but these 1.1M ZEIT dont show up in my wallet.
But as far I understand the SouthXchange history I withdrew that to my wallets adress - so wheres those coins ?

https://www.pic-upload.de/view-34917040/Bildschirmfoto2018-02-28um09.15.15.jpg.html

I did the -rescan in the console but nothing.

Maybe someone with more knowlegde than me can help me find the solution.

Thanks

Ok, your address was listed at MXt259XdxymZb8wgjYxJysdyfMarejmMHL
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/zeit/address.dws?MXt259XdxymZb8wgjYxJysdyfMarejmMHL.htm

According to the block explorer the amount is in the address.

You need to click on Receive coins in your ZEIT Wallet and Look at the receive addresses
If you do not see MXt259XdxymZb8wgjYxJysdyfMarejmMHL  , then you are not using the correct wallet.dat

Do you have MXt259XdxymZb8wgjYxJysdyfMarejmMHL in your Receive coins List?

FYI: This may be your problem
The command is zeitcoin-qt.exe  -rescan  and you run it from a command prompt or in your case open a Mac terminal window and run it.
If you run it from inside the zeit wallet debug window/console, it does nothing.

Hmm,
Delete the blockchain files again,  then start the zeitcoin wallet and open the folder ~/Library/Application Support/zeitcoin
Watch and see if when zeitcoin starts syncing if the file size for the blk0001.dat increases , if so that is the correct folder
If the blk0001.dat file size stays the same, then it is the wrong folder,
Post the results.


**UPDATE:  After a little Research there appears to be a bug in the Apple OS.
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/fat-maximum-file-size-shrunk-in-high-sierra.2074025/

In this bug, apple OS version macOS High Sierra (10.13)') does not copy a file over 2 Gig correctly.
blk0001.dat is over 2 gig so that may be the issue.

Try Extracting the rar file directly into the ~/Library/Application Support/zeitcoin folder
and if that also fails try using this alternate file manager
https://mac.eltima.com/file-manager.html

If neither of those work, you stuck having to sync from scratch and would need to write a script to restart the zeitcoin wallet every 4 hours until synced.
If you have access to a PC or a Mac not on that OS version try using one of those instead.

Thank You, the 2G thing was it.
It worked! I'm at 99.80% synced.
On MAC High Sierra 10.13.13, First you need to make hidden files visible. http://www.vilbay.com/os/mac-os/show-hidden-files-macos-high-sierra/
Backup wallet. Close wallet. Right click quit on ZeitLogo, in Dock. Click Finder. Open new folder[command N] click on Go, then scroll down and click on "go to folder" type in [~/Library/Application Support] then enter
You will see the ZeitCoin folder.
Go into ZeitCoin folder. Delete everything except wallet.dat & zeitcoin-qt. Open Chrome Browser (Safari won't let you download this file), go into Preferences, Advanced (at bottom of page) set Downloads to "Ask where to save each file before downloading". Download Snapshot right into Zeitcoin folder, that you get at; https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/1336?postId=7831 watch bottom left corner on MEGA page to make sure it finishes downloading. I used The Unarchiver set at extract in to folder. You don't want it to make a new folder. After all the files are expanded simply click on zeitcoin-qt.

One more thing..does anyone knows why Zeitcoin is still in maintenance mood in CoinExchange?

[CoinQuest]

Good luck guys.

One more thing..does anyone knows why Zeitcoin is still in maintenance mood in CoinExchange?

Because CoinExchange wants it that way.

[Zin-Zang]

Good luck guys.

One more thing..does anyone knows why Zeitcoin is still in maintenance mode in CoinExchange?

CoinExchange Devs seem incompetent or they sold their zeitcoins on another exchange which is why they stopped the withdrawals, unknown which.

revive congratulations, let's go with everything.

[Coldbloodlegend]

I like this coin and HODL a small bag. And yet i think it's not going anywhere. A website is useless.

What would revive the coin is a higher interest rate and only this.

5% would be good, it's not inflationnary because there are lost coins every year, and still it rewards people for holding the coin long term.

This coin has the lowest of the lowest interest rate of all the PoS coins on earth.
Just check out poslist.org, ZEIT is no longer competitive.

This coin has the lowest of the lowest interest rate of all the PoS coins on earth.
Just check out poslist.org, ZEIT is no longer competitive.

5% is too high, reason being the quantity of coins required to be a Global Coin.

36,971,185,859 * 5% = 1848559292.95 new coins per year

1848559292.95 /365 days = 5064546 new coins per day

Meaning to maintain 1 penny US requires $50645.46 of new investment every day
Meaning to maintain 1 dollar US requires $5064546 of new investment every day

With the ULI activated at .0005% interest rate
36,971,185,859 * .0005% =  184856 new coins per year

184856 /365 days = 506  new coins per day

Meaning to maintain 1 penny US requires $5.06 of new investment every day
Meaning to maintain 1 dollar US requires $506 of new investment every day

ZEITCOIN's Target Price is between 1 US Penny and 1 US Dollar, anyone that can not see that this will happen over time is not using math.

The ULI makes the price per coin grow over time , verses high inflation which only increases the supply of coins while forever decreasing the price per coin.

The Community voted that they preferred an increasing price per coin.  

FYI:
So why are those sell orders at 2 sat holding the price down.
That is because their are one or more whales are using those sell walls to accumulate zeitcoins at a ridiculously low price ,
before they relent and watch the price skyrocket along with their investment.
Whales current strategy : Position Building & Suppressing prices  
Smartest play by all investors is to accumulate as many zeitcoins as possible while the whales are still suppressing the price.
