[ANN][1000 SYNC] Proof of Stake now run by BLOCKCHAIN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

[xmcn]

it doesn't work.

[kr260385piv]

I think dev must do something with wallet

[coinjohn]

i think the following quote is the best solution for the moment, until more masternodes are added on the network so they can cope with so much staking for the coin.

So if you're planning on dropping the ball and selling now, give it a second thought before regretting it in a couple of days...

i have 7 active connections but still wont sync...anyone?

I have 25 connections and all is perfectly synchronized.. maybe peer.dat is a problem it is not *big* enough

use this sync.conf

server=1
listen=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=24240
addnode=107.170.124.180
addnode=162.243.214.192
addnode=192.241.240.216
addnode=107.170.159.98
addnode=67.215.8.91
addnode=23.226.225.224

rename bootstrap.dat to blk001.dat (you might have to delete your current blk001.dat).  Should work fine, still sounds like some people are on the old client.

[scvetic]

A bunch of people have downloaded the bootstrap...can anyone tell me if its work or not? lol (it should work fine)  You could also just rename bootstrap.dat to blk0001.dat in the appdata/sync folder but just putting bootstrap.dat there then launching the client should be sufficient.

i deleted everything except wallet.dat and sync.conf now we will see what will happen.strange is that in new update i do not see block-chain line to check which number is block and percent of sync

[ltcnim]

I think the most important and simple thing have to do now is update the wallet number.
Many people think their wallet is the last version but it doesn't actually.
Please update the wallet version number now, so we can ask everyone using the 1.0.0.0 wallet to download the new version.

ps. for those people who are stuck at block 8234, I think you are not using the last version of wallet.

for the last time: i build the wallet myself from github maybe an hour ago. unless the pre-compiled wallets include a fix which is not in the repository, I already have the latest version!
Also I can see in the debuglog there are clients with the correct block count, but for whatever reason, it does not update mine. Not after re-downloading the whole blockchain various times, not after stopping & restarting the wallet 50x and not after praying.

it doesn't work.

What's not working?

[shogun47]

last bootstrap synced the wallet. hopefully it keeps up with the blockchain now. thanks for the bootstrap fix

Woot!

I'll post a new one every 5 blocks or so until it works itself out.

Why isn't the MINTPAL situation resolved ?

It drags the coin down, people who want get their coins out, can't and they selling to be able to do so...

Wallet and chain is working fine !!!

Can dev email them ?

Also everyone should email them support@mintpal.com

since 4 or 5 people got their wallets working, you can not say "the Wallet and chain is working fine !!!"

It is not working for the vast majority (probably 99% the world) . that is why the vast majority can't get their coins out or buy /sell or anything.

So you will see exchanges freezing this con again as that is what they are seeing no working wallet on their side too.

You gotta see it through the eyes of the rest  of the people...not just the eyes of 1 or 2 % who are skilled or lucky  and have working wallets.

anw Minpal is in Sync now....

and the wallet is working well , Win and iOS, and staking since good few hours....

the network is just too slow....

[scvetic]

finally wallet synced. i overwrite the last one with version from home page of this thread (old look design) and wallet synced. With new look didn't work

[CodyF86]

As more coins stake the network should speed up...We actually saw block 8262 and 8263 almost back to back.  It can take up to 30 days to stake, but it can happen at anytime in that 30 days...so the network should only be getting faster and faster albeit may take another day for it to take off.

people are very smart around here no need to keep telling them "do not sell" it s not their fault. network is slow that's all it is.. above shows this in clear 25 vs 7 (synchronized vs no synchronized)  someone offered adding more master nodes... good idea ... maybe..

too slow because of what,  anybody knows why?

I do not mean that it can fix all the problems.
Just an easy step to help a lot of people to know their wallet version.
As a result, no more questions from people with old wallet.

[CodyF86]

Also if your wallet is encrypted make sure you unlock it and keep it running or your coins will not stake regardless...

edit: Read my last post above, that is why the network is slow and also why it is slowly speeding up.

[q327K091]

it doesn't work.

What's not working?

@MsCollec can you shoot a 2 liner explanation why  (think this applies to any POS coin, but will elucidate, myself including!)

a.) it can take up to 30 days to see stake in the wallet
b.) there is element of randomness (luck) in the staking process

thanks much!

I try to come up with comprehensive steps for noobs

Download latest Windows flavoured wallet from here: https://mega.co.nz/#!E5cjGQBa!C9PV10d7AUBgk1hWoaq3nenRRL24gV8TRk1pk9q15CI

Click Start > Run > %appdata%\sync
Delete everything except wallet.dat (and sync.conf if you already have that saved there)
copy wallet.dat to multiple safe locations as a backup (Wallet.dat holds your coins, you don't want to lose this)
Create a file called Sync.conf (note to windows noobs trying to create a new notepad file, in the explorer window drop down the tool menu, goto Folder Options, goto View Tab, Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" - this is to make sure you don't create a sync.conf.txt file. You want Sync.conf)
Copy and paste below into sync.conf and save (I suggest to change user and pass to something else)

server=1
listen=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=24240
addnode=107.170.124.180
addnode=162.243.214.192
addnode=192.241.240.216
addnode=107.170.159.98
addnode=23.226.225.224
 
Open up TCP port 24240 on your firewall and/or modem/router if you know how and want to be a node (I'm not going to teach you this one)

download the Bootstrap given by CodyF86 from http://d-h.st/j8F
Exract the contents into %appdata%\sync
rename the file bootstrap.dat to blk001.dat if you have problems, otherwise keep it as it is.

Launch the wallet
unlock your wallet if you want to stake (or not)
wait for it to sync any extra blocks since block 8266
If it gets stuck, close the wallet, wait 2 minutes then relaunch. Repeat few times if needed.

You can skip downloading the bootstrap and sync from scratch if you wish.

If you have problems syncing from scratch getting stuck after block 8200, try introducing sync.conf only after you reach block 8200.



Let me know if this is incorrect.

[CodyF86]

8266!
