Can I stake Stealthcoins that I purchased on Bittrex?  Just send them to the wallet and wait 3 days?

yep

My wallet is out of sync yet again.

Stuck on block 8937.

Anyone else the same?

[prix]

OK 3 of my wallets are now out of sync, it see the block alright but it never can download. this happen from block 8984 and it is now 9148 and counting, almost 200 straight blocks in 20 minutes. I have to admitted weird wallet and someone must know what is going on. Checkout wallet RzBxwRLTSWR14F8iCKJQraWFYtE8t5kHQZ. once it's out of syn it will never able to sync again. my other 2 wallets are keeping up alright.

It's one of my addresses.

We have the problem with the wallet and stacking.
When I run & unlock my wallet about 300 blocks created in 2-3 hours.
My wallet has created about 600 POS blocks for last three days from total ~9300.
The wallet generates about 10-20 blocks per minute in first minutes.
Is it normal? No. We need some check for minimum interval between block creation.

Sometimes my wallet out of sync and I just do not do anything,
after a some time he synchronizes again.

Edit: I can resolve this problem (either merge all my money or I can create a script for generating block for every one minute), but it's better for network health if you will change the source code.

why are people having so much trouble with wallets.i have beeen staking and in sync from start.seems strange not everyone having trouble

Sounds promising. How did the interview come about? Was the purpose to release the interview on this thread or somewhere else?

An interview with StealthCoin lead developer, Hondo, hosted by StatDude (@thestatdude):

(Disclaimer: Hondo asked that we not use certain terminology or specific details of certain items currently in development until their release. Those parts of the interview have been excluded.)

Q: Hondo, StealthCoin currently has the first fully working Tor integration out of the box in a POS-based coin, providing protection from network analysis. Can you speak to what went into this?
A: Several recent coding all-nighters!  Build-in Tor network integration represents the implementation of the network analysis protection phase of our privacy plan for XST. Razor and Neutrino are the only other coins we’ve verified as having comparable Tor functionality. It’s possible to see evidence of the Tor network yourself by opening the StealthCoin wallet console and typing “getpeerinfo”. Notice the obfuscated “.onion” addresses, making it impossible to view IP addresses of peers.  This part of privacy protection is not limited to address obfuscation. With Tor, it is practically impossible to link the origin and terminus of any communication channel, such that it is not possible to know which peers are in communication.


Q: Hondo, now that Network Analysis Resistance is implemented, what do users have to look forward to with blockchain analysis resistance technology?
A: Our blockchain analysis resistance is a technology that obfuscates the sender. Specifically, this gives a sender probable deniability. In other words, a sender may deny sending a specific transaction and it will be impossible to prove otherwise.


Q: Will this “Stealth Send” be an optional feature?
A: Use can be optional, but the best thing to do for privacy protection is to move the coins to a new wallet, and leave it turned on. We will release an optional “always-Stealthed” wallet so users who want persistent privacy protection don’t have to think about it.


Q: What happens to these transactions in the block explorer? Can they be viewed?
A: Those who search will see a “Stealthed” sender address. No one can be sure about an address’s balance moving forward. Auditing the block chain becomes practically impossible. However, total money supply can be validated, so this isn’t a way to hide a premine. You can still tally the blockchain transactions and subtract any transaction fees that are burned by the network.


Q: Couldn’t an investigator determine who sent what based on changing balances in the block explorer?
A: No. The challenge to an audit is that a user can spend money without others seeing the debit to the input address. You would only see the credit to the send-to address. The transaction would be recorded, but there would be no way to know which address was debited. The debit would be from a Stealthed address that no one could associate with an input (credit) with certainty. Each Stealthed address would contain a negative balance of the transaction amount + transaction fees.


Q: So, the sender still essentially shows the spent balance in their address? Both addresses still show the balance?
A: Yes – however, there are ways to prove an intact balance for a specific address, though. But, it would require the address owner to provide that proof. This could be accomplished by sending the entirety of the balance back to the address in a non-Stealthed transaction.


Q: For a change of pace: a new user called “stayinanon” posted a beta version of a “Stealth Market” promising it would utilize exclusively XST. What is the response of the StealthCoin dev team to this development?
A: The Stealth Market of course sounds exciting. These types of decentralized services require supporting extensions from the blockchain of the coin upon which the service is built. We look forward to ensuring that StealthCoin will support these services.

Nonsense for this case. In this thread too much users have the problems with the syncing and with the unstable time between blocks (maybe it's interconnected).

Is 2 hours between blocks is normal? 30 min?

Code:

8925	2014-07-17 20:29:35	36	351064.563583	0.0	20725517.000431	5.0063	22.6851	40.5972%

i think the wallets are synching but the green status bar on the wallet is not showing it... its buggy...
its not showing synched... stucked somewhere... but its still downloading..strange bug

Dev and statdude, thanks for the interview!
Communication between developers and users is very important.

I found it on twitter!

[djek31]

I wonder how it's going with the stealthmarket? looking forward to that. 

[installer]

6 days and devs give us an answer. i think it will be great!!!

[maninzulu]

i'm a newbie guys and i have that sync problem with the wallet, i have 3268 blocks remaining to sync, 1 hour and the blocks number remains the same? am i doing anything wrong?

[boltz]

i'm a newbie guys and i have that sync problem with the wallet, i have 3268 blocks remaining to sync, 1 hour and the blocks number remains the same? am i doing anything wrong?

Just re-open it untill it sync.
Mine is working with no problem after several restarts...

[Pliznou]

Which situation is better?

Old one:


or with new block .dat files:


In old .dat i am stuck at block 8927, in new, i don't have my money. What do you think?

[djek31]

i'm a newbie guys and i have that sync problem with the wallet, i have 3268 blocks remaining to sync, 1 hour and the blocks number remains the same? am i doing anything wrong?

mine just synced really fast and always does.

have you tried restarting it? also in appdata delete blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat

you will find them in C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\stealthcoin the stars represent your username!
