New Windows hard forked new E-Currency client

https://github.com/Adaryian/E-Currency/releases

Okay, here we go....

I had an odd problem this morning upgrading the client.
After upgrading the client I could not get it to sync past block 4031, no matter what I did. This applied to both the UNIX and Windows versions.
But after a bit of trial and error I managed to get it to work and Sync completely.

The result of this is that what you should not do, is remove the old blockchain info from the client folder.

I'll list the steps that you should do.

1. Keep a copy of the older client in case you need to go back to it if everything fails to work (new client will not read the old wallet.dat right).
2. Make a proper backup of your wallet.dat and export your privkeys before closing the client down.
3. Backup your whole Ecurrency folder for safety (inc Blockchain info)
4. Install the new client
5. Start the new client with the -rescan  option for UNIX Just start the client for Windows, it should do a rescan automatically
6. wait till complete
7. import your privkeys

And there you are, you should now have the whole blockchain synced and your previous balances listed to the new addresses.

Hope this is helpful to you all out there struggling.

If there are any glaring errors in this please tell me so I can edit this.

Thanks for the post.  I've been on and off my computer today.  I have a sick child today! I updated the first post with the updates.  Please update your clients!!!

Quick addition to the above

Just in case you find yourself in a situation that you do not have the blockchain, for the moment I have made a ZIP of it from my own installation on the Windows Client.

The hard forked new E-Currency client can be found here, as Adaryian has mentioned.

https://github.com/Adaryian/E-Currency/releases

My Zipped Blockchain can be found here:

http://benassi.co.uk/Ecurrency.zip

Just drop the extracted contents into the .ecurrency folder on NIX or into your C:\users\[PROFILE]\AppData\roaming\Ecurrency on Windows.
The contents also has a working conf file within it, just remember to change the rpcpassword and rpcuser values.

I have not tested the blockchain from the windows machine on a NIX system, but have successfully done so on other coins in the past, so I'm confident it will work. If not I can arrange for the NIX version to be put up also. just PM me if you have a problem, I'm happy to help.

Just a quick update on Adaryian's behalf....

Raven_pl's P2Pool site is now updated.

Happy mining

[adaryian]

Thanks Cryptocollector for helping me post.  I've updated the first post of the thread.

Links are out for the new download along with alternative downloads for both x32 and x64 containing the blockchain as of moments ago along with a default ECurrency.conf which will include addnodes in there to give you up to 8 connections that are currently active.  Obviously, it will find more. 

In addition I added just the Blockchain and a default ECurrency.conf download separately in-case that's all you need.  It's all uploaded on Github so you know it's a safe download.

I'll also post it here below for those who want it more easily.

STOP MINING!

We are experiencing some BlochChain problems.
To be on the safe side for the moment please stop all mining of ISO.

This will be sorted as soon as it is physically possible.

On behalf of the ISO E-Currency Team...

So, new code not tested on testnet and gone wild on main net? :/

Code:

"version" : 90100,
    "protocolversion" : 70002,
    "walletversion" : 60000,

    "blocks" : 29970,
    "timeoffset" : 1,
    "connections" : 4,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 262144.00000000,

What exactly is going on?

Edit:
Lurked in log, getting lots of orphaned blocks in log.
Is there any code that disconnect/ban old nodes that still have 10 min. block?

Okay.  So there was a problem with the check points in the programming.  We have someone who is going to fix it.  The hard fork happens at block 32256.  It will ignore all previous 10 minute blocks.  New clients on nix and windows systems running the client will only get to block number 4 or 5k.  There seems to be a separate "new" blockchain being made.  We're working on fixing this hopefully today. Depends on what all needs to be fixed.

Initially when I tested this everything seemed fine.  But once more people connected and started mining the blockchain wouldn't download.  So it looks like the change from the '1' to the 'E' changed the blockchain.

Again, this was my first hard fork and I figured there was going to be some small issues however I didn't expect major issues.  But we're working to resolve this.  If the programmers want to chime in they can to explain more but all the changes are on Github so you can see what changes were made and why it had caused these problems.

Will update asap.

Guys,

If you have been using Crytpo's Pool I have a problem with the E-Currency pool.
As soon as the following get in touch i'll reset that pool to Zore Defaults.

In fact as nobody is using it at the moment I'll do that now.

Could whoever has these addresses PM me?

I think there is some coin that is refusing to go out because of the wallet change.

I will manually send them when the users get back to me.

[cryptcollector]

I have temporarily removed ISO fron the Crypto's and Alt40 pools while work is being done to restore the client/wallets to a working order.
Don't like users losing coin and wasting hash....

The Services will be resumed as soon as the wallets have been sorted.

Cool, you just killed all wallets this way.
You can`t change coin prefix this way.
Why you don`t post any info what changes are doing on fork, who decided what changes should and can be made, who tested all stuff???

GJ in killing coin.


edit: You also CAN`T just change static vars on timespan/spacing and expect that old block (witch different spacing) chain will be valid. Reindex will just reject old block chain.


Revert ALL this failed hardfork code from git NOW and allow to chain repair.


edit2: last proper commit is https://github.com/Adaryian/E-Currency/commit/52634926ffbf56ee7c4292b7c0c2dd9978464d75

Reverted to commit b4 "hardfork" code, reindex looks like: https://gist.github.com/Rav3nPL/b4f46dadedf498685183

I have stopped all the new daemons and I am in the process of reverting back to the old client. Hopefully this will stop the damaged blockchain from propagating from my systems.

Lets, let the blockchain recover then see where to go from there.

Just a little update to keep you all informed.[

Adaryian has been taken ill. he has gone into hospital and should be back soon, nothing too serious so dont worry guys!

He is slightly restricted in what he can do right now as he's only got access from his phone.

He has asked me to inform you that the programmer didn't explain a lot of these things to him and that it would change the blockchain. He will revert things back to as far as he can and update based on what has been done so it can be fixed.

I personally am no programmer, so if there is anyone out there willing to help on that side, it would be much appreciated. PM me or Adaryian, I will forward any help offers to Adaryian for access to the code repository.

Please  "DONT PANIC" :-)

This issue will be resolved and everything will be back on track soon, and hopefully we will not see another fork anytime soon afterwards, unless your using one to eat.

Regards on behalf of Adaryian

[adaryian]

I should be released from the hospital today.  But I highly doubt I'll be ready to work on fixing this for the next few days.  I'll update everyone when I've fixed everything.

Sorry for all the issues, but I/We will get them resolved ASAP.

Hi guys.
I noticed our ISO wallet not sync after block 30022.
Is there something we need to do?

Let me know. I will temporary stop market.
