He's been having some troubles recently, I'll get a mirror up tonight

[El_Nickio]

I'm stuck at 18924 too

Any suggestions/links to the blockchain download?

Galaxycoin Bootstrap.dat



   bootstrap.dat

bootstrap.dat allows a new Galaxycoin client (not synced) to rapidly import the initial blocks from a
local file instead of slowly downloading blocks from random peers. This significantly reduces the
time it takes to get a client synced with the current blockchain.

Simply having bootstrap.dat in Galaxycoin's expected data directory will make your initial block sync
much faster. The import process can be even faster if you use the -dbcache=1000 command line
parameter which uses an additional 1GB of RAM for the database index cache.

   Extracting the bootstrap.dat.xz

Regardless of your operating system, use the following steps to make use of the bootstrap.dat file:

1.   Download bootstrap.dat.xz from mirrors or torrent.
2.   Decompress the bootstrap.dat.
3.   Put it into the Galaxycoin datadir. "%appdata%/galaxycoin" / "~/.galaxycoin"
         (This is the same folder that contains wallet.dat and the blocks folder.)
4.   Delete bootstrap.dat.old if you want to recover some storage space.

    Galaxycoin Data Folder

    Linux

Code:

xz -d bootstrap.dat.xz 

Galaxycoin's data directory is located in ~/.galaxycoin/ by default. You can run ls -a to see
directories that start with a period. You can also search for the directory with the following
command:

Code:

find / -name wallet.dat -print 2>/dev/null 

   Mac
You can obtain xz from MacPorts or http://macpkg.sourceforge.net/.
Galaxycoin's data directory should be located in ~/Library/Application Support/galaxycoin/.

   Windows
7Zip is a free utility that can decompress .xz files, so does the latest version of WinRAR.

Click on Start then Run (or press WinKey+R) and type:

Code:

explorer %APPDATA%\galaxycoin 

Galaxycoin's data directory will open. "AppData" and "Application Data" are hidden by default in
Windows.

   Copy bootstrap.dat to data directory

Copy the bootstrap.dat to your data directory. Load the Galaxycoin client and wait for it to load the
blocks. After loading is complete, the bootstrap.dat will be renamed to bootstrap.dat.old at which
point you can choose to delete it.

Alright... Working on uploading new blockchain..

[Ivanech]

Any news solving linux wallet problem to sync over 18924 block?

Going to open new GLX mining pool, but stuck on that block. Wallet daemon is from github source.

[BTCat]

Is this coin going anywhere?

I'd like to know how many GLX were minted upto now. Thanks.

[harveyweizhao]

I am still doing solo mining.

UPGRADING TO THE 2.0 BLOCKCHAIN
LINUX:

Code:

wget -O galaxycoinlinux.sh http://galaxypool.chriskoeber.com/galaxycoinlinux.sh
chmod +x galaxycoinlinux.sh
./galaxycoinlinux.sh

We all need new links as galaxypool.chriskoeber.com is not online last 2 weeks.

Could anyone upload required galaxycoinlinux.sh script?

18924 block problem still here...

[dogfishHead]

Yo,

Not sure who is legit here and who is not, but the bootstrap.dat certainly is not - I dumped a log against it to see what is going on, and basically someone has inserted billions in coin starting at block 18925.  The coin is still smart enough to trip it - the hashes are not even close to meet galaxy coin requirements, and I doubt Crypsy would fall for it.  So unless someone has a later legitimate block chain or a legitimate node to add that counts up correctly, 18924 is it - or it may eventually sync...if there are real wallets out there somewhere...CRYPSY??? someone send me a legit node to connect with.

http://altexplorer.info/chains/GLX/block_crawler.php tells it like it is...

in the mean time, watch out what executable you run.  bogus requests are rolling in like gangbusters, beware.

It seems as though you are behind the times. With a bootstrap.dat file, the integrity gets verified when it imports the entire blockchain. The client rejects any blocks where corruption occurs. It also rejects any blocks imported from the bootstrap.dat file that fails to match what all the current peers on the network state is the longest/most difficult chain.

The data you see is going to be included in your debug file regardless, also notice the dates are from last year. Are you not using v2.0?

Since you appear to be "in", although that blockstack is pretty high - was under 250K not long ago, why don't you provide a "getpeerinfo" so we can do a -connect and get a clean block chain...

The bootstrap.dat import check gives up the ghost due to too many bad blocks at 20423...stopping with our favorite 18925...unless the downloads have been compromised.

not behind the times...just watching the attack and poking around.  I would probably mine this if the stack actually built cleanly.

I've found solution to bypass GLX block stuck problems - will post detailed instructions soon.

As a result I am able to start new open mining pool for Glaxycoin: glx.n50.ru

We need more mining pools for network stability and profit. Enjoy this one!

[Ivanech]

Here is instruction how to syschronise new actual Galaxycoin wallet to work properly.

I work mostly with Linux system, so here is working manual for Linux users. Will try Windows wallets later.
 
Lets go:
 
1. You need two versions of GLX wallet, both are available on GitHub:
 
old 0.5 branch
2.0 new one

Hope galaxycoin is not your first crypto wallet, you are familar with installation from GitNub, compilation and other steps required to start cryptowallets to work under Linux. Ask here if you have any questions.
 
2. You need a bootstrap file containing valid block chains.  Here is links to download. Unpacks to galaxycoin home directory as described.
 
3. Then you should launch old wallet version 0.5 to check and download block chain from bootstrap.dat file. Do not try doing this step with new wallet version 2.0 - you will fail at block 18924.
 
4. Be patient while 0.5 wallet proceeding block chain. This step is time consume and may requires several hours to completely construct valid block chain. You could check real time log located in debug.log file to see when this happens.

Code: (auto:0)

tail -f ~/.galaxycoin/debug.log

Then kill 0.5 client and start 2.0 one. New client should continue update blockchain from network untill all actual blocks will be loaded.

5. To speed up the synchronisation, edit your ~/.galaxycoin/galaxycoin.conf configuration file adding additional working nodes. Here is my conf file:

Code: (auto:0)

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*
rpcport=15521
daemon=1
server=1
noirc=1
addnode=148.251.70.194
addnode=192.95.29.176
addnode=203.20.114.252
addnode=212.83.187.132
addnode=162.220.246.58
addnode=188.226.169.38
addnode=27.118.30.26  
addnode=192.92.129.48
addnode=54.201.121.142
addnode=155.69.222.247
addnode=71.232.52.37  
addnode=74.69.66.147  
addnode=98.112.135.200
addnode=67.210.249.29  
addnode=79.138.30.13   
addnode=192.241.136.248
addnode=24.6.21.198    
addnode=162.243.70.85  
addnode=2.236.53.94  
addnode=174.56.58.238
addnode=37.187.21.128
addnode=202.60.68.241
addnode=66.59.38.122
addnode=glx.n50.ru

whith this setting I have at least 10 or more active connection to galaxycoin 2.0 network.

Hope this will help anyone.
