[ANN] Syscoin - Business on the Blockchain - LAUNCHED!

[Beachguy]

Posted yesterday about getting from 1.2 to 1.3. Little bit of a hurry and closed after synch and getting first coins from pool.
Came in this morning to check it out ,
Opened wallet, icon in the tray for about thirteen seconds then went to splash. Little slower than most wallets.
Went to pool to cash out coins mined....entered at 8:05.
Syscoins hit wallet at 8:06.
Two thumbs!
Next try sending some to Mintpal.

The dead icon in the system  tray? Nothing happens when I left click, double click, or right  click. I have to end process tree via task manager.
If I leave it there (I left it there for going on 5 hours now) it just sits there and appears to be looking pretty but not doing anything else.
It's not an issue of starting and waiting with the big window waiting to sync. The issue is that it pops up and instantly vanishes to the system tray and lays there.
Where it would normally turn from splash screen into the wallet syncing - the splash appears then for maybe 1/10th of a second (a flicker) it is gone.
It's the same thing the previous versions were doing. I know how to force it to load, but it's getting annoying to nuke the files over and over. I have a system that is entirely SSD, no the wear on my NAND is a concern, as well.

What happens if you double-click on the icon? Can you activate it (with Task Manager -> switch to this task)?
Or if you just leave it there for a while, does it then allow you to open it? Sometimes the starting of the wallet takes some time,
depending how much it needs to scan upon starting, before it enables the user interface (I have a wallet from a coin that is
over 1 year old, if I do a rescan of the wallet with 10,000+ transactions, its user interface can freeze for half hour)

I had the same issue on my Windows 7 box.
Click the start button, search for "%appdata%, open the roaming folder, go down to the Syscoin folder and blow everything away EXCEPT the wallet.dat file.
Rerun the 0.1.3 wallet and resync.

This is what I did and all is good now! I am able to sync, send, receive, etc....

I have let my node run for the last 10 hours with Syscoin wallet running. I am stuck at block 5168. Last two versions of software I had no trouble at all.

Yep. I posted more detailed instructions for everyone a couple days ago. Thing is, it's getting old and it's killing my Solid State Drive.

@ snipsnoop

sorry..... need permission to pm you!!!!

I'm pretty sure you don't need permission...  the devs have been getting actual death threats for crying out loud...  lol  
Edit:  @devs  thnx for the progress!   

You have no idea.. At one point this was like a 4chan storm, I kid you not..

[jay808]

The thread seems so relaxed , now that all the FUD kids runed away .
Thank you guys , you are doing a great job so far .
We belive in this coin !

I can relate to that! Running a 1gb ssd here also. I can't wait for the price of the ssd's to drop to the point where they are disposable.

If we had a bit more FUD, we could buy some more cheap SYS!!

[vicvelcro]

My SSDs pretty much HAVE been disposable. I've destroyed over a dozen in the past 4 months. It's beginning to kinda suck.

I can relate to that! Running a 1gb ssd here also. I can't wait for the price of the ssd's to drop to the point where they are disposable.  

[Pmalek]

Only a few more  days and you will see the  potential of Sys coin.
+1 for DEV  

Potential is known already!!! But you probably mean in a few days it will be reflected through price!

Have you followed the norms for setting them up? Have a few myself and they run fine.
Just make sure you don't ever fill them up.

When they initially started coming out, they did kinda suck alright. (Looking at you here OCZ)

the FUD storm was unbelievable, compliments for the dev-team and also moolah for handling this in these critcial days.
and just to remember, the first thing which impressed me, was that after the network was attacked and problems after problems occured, that the dev team sended back the already given 250 btc to moolah.
this was a nice move, where i knowed i will stay with the devs and the coin.

great

I've gone beyond the norm. I was a tester for some engineers who were designing them back in the '90s.
They don't make them today like they used to back then. But, they do have about 4x the capacity of the ones we were playing with at the time.

Align them, reserve some unused space (about 20% of total capacity set aside), trim, bios correct, no indexing, etc.

What's killing them is the systems are on 22 hours a day if not all 24 hours and the continuous multithread reads and writes and erases.

-edit-
in addition to the built in 256MB cache, I have an external DDR5 RAM cache of 2GB, which helps with some of the wear.

Ahh, that would defo do it alright.. (Totally off syscoin topic but).. We were looking into using for SQL server in one of the places I did some work. Not a good idea with current tech lvl..

[vicvelcro]

I took it to  PM, since YES it's mostly off topic. Unless the wallet software is incompatible with SSD hardware (most extremely unlikely).

... (Totally off syscoin topic but)...

[vicvelcro]

Indeed. However, you can't get SYS into Cryptsy right now. I have had a ticket in there for that very problem since about 9 hours ago.

Have you seen SYS at Cryptsy? #gonenuts

just sent coins there. why its not coming ?

Yeah saw that they had disabled the wallets. Are they just behind with the update or ?

[vicvelcro]

They tell me they have their wallet down for maintenance. I've had a quarter million SYS en-route there since 10 hours ago. When it didn't even show as Pending at the bottom of the balances page, I dropped them a ticket to look into the issue before people get hostile.

[snipsnoop]

Reg cryptsy.. Dont think they updated to latest (could be wrong).. We have contacted them about this.

If it was me I would not send coins there atm..
