ALl i know is I cant figure out why im constantly out of sync. Im not a guru, im not a programmer or coder. Why isnt this built in the wallet download. I cant even use my Vericoin cause its stuck in 'stake' and not spendable. I restart wallet over & over, always out of sync, even after 24 hrs of leaving it running. Please be more end user friendly. PLEASE.

Download the new wallet.
Delete everything in this folder except for the wallet.dat file
 
-Windows
  %appdata%\Roaming\VeriCoin

2. Keep wallet.dat and delete everthing else (best to backup wallet.dat too)

3. add this line to your vericoin.conf file

"staking=0" without quotes.

I did that, yesterday, and even added the nodes that some one posted here, but not that 'staking=0' part. Ill try that now, ty for the help.. sorry im not a guru... this is just very frustrating.

That's the correct chain.

Official Release 1.1.2!

Fixed a bug in the staking protocol that caused some clients to hang and lose sync with the network.  Also limited connectivity to the newer more stable clients.

Go here to download: http://www.vericoin.info/

If you are in sync (most are), no need to reload the blockchain, go to step 3.


1. If you are out of sync or stuck follow these instructions

-Windows
  %appdata%\Roaming\VeriCoin

-Mac
  ~/Library/Appplication\ Support/Vericoin/

2. Keep wallet.dat and delete everthing else (best to backup wallet.dat too)


3. Install wallet:

-Mac
  download wallet place anywhere and open it up, the block will sync, may take a little while.

-Windows
  Double click the installer, check bootstrap.dat if you want to reload the block, otherwise leave it unchecked.




-If you get a wallet.dat error on the wallet window, you have a corrupted wallet.dat file follow these steps:

Click on the help menu, then Debug window, now click on the console tab.

In the text field type in this command with your receive address (public address)

dumpprivkey <address>

copy and paste this key into a text file.

Close vericoin-qt

Now delete everything in directory mentioned above including wallet.dat (best to keep a backup)

Now open vericoin-qt and let it load full block

In console tab mentioned above now type this with your private key from text file

importprivkey <privatekey>  (may take 5 minutes or so)

I was having desync issues on OSX still with the 1.1.2 wallet. Now I have done the following last night prior to going to sleep with amazing results.

OSX is what I'm using:

Create a backup of your current wallet that is causing you problems. cp wallet.dat wallet.dat.recent

Click on the help menu, then Debug window, now click on the console tab.

In the text field type in this command with your receive address (public address)

dumpprivkey <address>

copy and paste this key into a text file.

Close vericoin-qt

Now delete everything in directory mentioned above including wallet.dat (best to keep a backup)

Now open vericoin-qt and let it load full block

Make sure the wallet is fully synced before importing your key as that's how I did it.

In console tab mentioned above now type this with your private key from text file

importprivkey <privatekey>  (may take 5 minutes or so)

Let it run for a couple mins after import then close the wallet.

Run the wallet with -resync once & let it sync up.

Provided it's synced & no issues, close the wallet.

Run the wallet with -salvagewallet & let it run for say 15mins.

Close the wallet, open & check for any issues.

So far, not 1 desync & only 1 conflicted transaction out of many that are currently staking.

Prior to this, desync & transaction issues would have happened within 10-15 mins. It's been 4+ hours


Please test if you are having similar issues.

I believe alot of the wallets are borked & were on forked chains. As I know mine was. I believe this is contributing to the issues with the wallet.

VRC frozen in Polo

They've been having problems in general since 6 AM this morning. Not just VRC.

Unfrozen now.

[pnosker]

Is there an updated timeline for the Multipool?

Initial testing tonight with X11 and Stratum. No stats yet and no BTC->VRC automated conversions yet.

Hopefully it will be all ready this weekend. Come to the IRC channel if you want to test tonight or tomorrow.
