[NRS|NoirShares] POW ENDING at 50k | DACs | MANDATORY WALLET UPDATE 6/23/2014

[4Ykw]

Pm me your entire .conf

Hi Barwizi,

I think I found part of the problem:
The links to the new wallets .exe and .zip files you posted do not seem to work.
I tried running these in two new VM's and they just crash at startup.
Same goes for the wallets that are currently available through Noirds.com.

Finally I tried downloading a wallet through link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGL9FkcBurEc21tTk8wMzFZemM/edit?usp=sharing

This wallet does work in my VM and it's syncing now.
After it has finished syncing in my VM, I will copy the files in my %appdata% folder back to my laptop and see if it will work there as well.

But please check the links on Noirds.com and the links you posted here in the forum, because they seem to link to disfunctional client files.

And I tried finding the .conf file to PM to you, but I can't find it.
What should be the location of this file ?

Thanks for your help

C:\Users\(YourUsernamehere)\AppData\Roaming\NoirShares


is the location on windows 7

i'll ask the guys to check the website links. I will be available only on skype tonight, for anyone who has questions.

these two have a different .exe in the zip


this work with no available block chain and you can download the chain
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGL9FkcBurEc21tTk8wMzFZemM/edit?usp=sharing


this is the official new version
this crashes without chain present in the directory C: \ Users \ (Your User Name Here) \ AppData \ Roaming \ Noir Shares
https://mega.co.nz/#!oVUDSQYa!mkcSCRAqBUbtyeA1wq8iNSJtvdy38jvMPYfGLF0wwyo
but with a trick to do it. you start shortly the first version, then close and then start the second version and now  this will reload the Chain also


both can reload the chain and then work perfectly. but if you closes and open again, then the two will not sync

I confirm... and add.. if I let my old wallet.. .dat file that had already some "failed" or "unconfirmed" transactions.. with the first client to synchronize.. untill last block.. I was missing around 400 NRS at my balance....

After removing everything.. restoring my old wallet.dat (1 month old.. or something).. used the first client just to create the block database.. and then closed it.. opened the second one.. and voilá..

-Now i can open/close and quick synchronizes... with the "checkblocks=1". Without it.. it goes backwards... but still sync.

new wallet just crashes win8.1 exe or zip...nothing works

Are you still having the same problem? The issue is that some simply have not updated their wallets. Use he block explorer address as the only node and it will sync.

Same problem here, wallet just crashes.

Downloaded from Mega, removed all except wallet.dat, and used the big list of nodes. Wallet crash, Win 7 x64

I've done it, now it doesn't crash, it says it's synced, but after closing and reopen it says 2500 blocks missing.

Even if I could put it to work, this is not the image we want to Noirshares. Everything should go smooth, just replacing the wallet. I think the Dev should clear this one and post a definitive working wallet.

Have problem with wallet

[xlcus]

An old question:

How can I mint the PoS block?
I need unlock the wallet.  Right?

Do I also need set "gen=1" in conf file ?

An old question:

An old answer:

Type the following:

walletpassphrase xxxxxxxxxx 99999999999 true

Where xxxxxxxxxx = your pass phrase and 99999999999 = time in seconds it is unlocked

It will automatically lock again when u close your wallet. To send coins you will still need to put in pass phrase

and this




READ!!!

so after I've tried a lot, I had an idea.
the synchronization still holding a distance to current blockcount 2500 blocks
this is a default options of wallet
checkblocks=2500 default

the solution is,


delete all files except wallet.dat, in the folder
C: \ Users \ (Your User Name Here) \ AppData \ Roaming \ Noir Shares

complements in NoirShares.conf the checkblocks= and set value to 1
also checkblocks=1

then reload the chain


now you can close and open the wallet as often as you want, it will always sync in a few seconds


clarify the remaining problems must barwizi Smiley

You guys really need to stop posting these solutions and just come up with a definitive solution.

This is just creating more confusion and how many people here are actually doing all those steps to get it to work, maybe 10 the most?

Dev needs to create the solution and offer a new download with the fix.

Most people won't even bother if it's that complicated to fix on their own.

And most people aren't technerds, just solve it and move on already.

[BRUCELLA]

I've got the problem too...

I want to start the new wallet and it don't start if i have delete files in roaming...

If i don't remove this files, wallet don't sync.. open but don't sync

Also try using repairwallet on the debug console.

We have identified the problem and will be testing our fix, it seems many are connecting to a set of bad nodes still running the older version that are still trying to mine.

I take it you have tried both the zip and the exe?

These are the links to the one i used for my boxes  and vms. I'll read the emails, and try to figure it out.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGL9FkcBurEc21tTk8wMzFZemM/edit?usp=sharing exe

[ari14]

Please notice that it was given 2 different URLs for the zip version (may be also for the exe version)

a) noirtalks gave this URL for zip version (at post 1605):
https://mega.co.nz/#!oVUDSQYa!mkcSCRAqBUbtyeA1wq8iNSJtvdy38jvMPYfGLF0wwyo

b) barwizi gave this URL for zip version (at post 1612):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGL9FkcBurEeDRvQnRDT1pFc1U/edit?usp=sharing

If you see the 2 NoirShares-Qt.exe files, are different. See Properties / Details / Date modified of the files, one 22-Jun-2014 and the other 23-Jun-2014.

I tested with method described in post 1605 using both zip a) and b). When I tested with zip a) wallet crashed before open. With zip b), the wallet opened fine and downloaded ok the full block chain but when I closed and opened again it had to re-sync, it is like something was lost.

the problem is the block check, If you set this this to 1, instead of default 2500, then both versions will sync in a few seconds (but you must reload the chain with the value 1)

and version a) you can only start if there is already a block chain is present in the folder
