Wallet doesnt sync as well

it stuck on 555050 block

[PhilipMorris]

Im currently syncing from block 0, 16 active connections and going pretty fast. However, all the block explorers are down. Or can someone point me to a working one?

[vytasz7]

Everything works fine, i just synced fully ! Fearmonering because they sold their coins i guess.
Also don't expect the beta wallets to run 100% without errors, use the standard wallet and config like always and you will be synced.

its my first time in half a year when i am having problems with the wallet and i am asking what should i do to solve it

Try using the .conf file if you arent allready. If it doesn't work, you can try to delete everything in your Roaming\BitcoinDark folder EXCEPT wallet.dat.
Then restart the wallet and resync.

Now save this file in the following direction: %appdata%\BitcoinDark

Make sure to save as all files, not text file.

Name should be BitcoinDark.conf

You will get alot more connections after this.

please don't use this in your config file.

Why?

Its from the OP, and working perfectly for me.

Is there a manual for nobs? because what are you telling is still too hard for me

Download the following file: http://ge.tt/api/1/files/2IJGCeH2/0/blob?download

Don't worry, no executable or anything.

Now click your windows start icon. Type in %appdata% and hit enter.

Now locate your BitcoinDark folder. This is where the file you downloaded should be placed in.

Restart your wallet, and in a few mins you will see connections

Im curious to see how much BTCD I will stake with the new dividends kicking in. Currently syncing my wallet on my VPS. I don't exactly understand how the dividends will be calculated yet, but I'll find out.

[Azeh]

This week's MM-BTCD dividends have been paid to BitcoinDark stakers: 13.3 BTCD paid to more than 10k stakers.

1.7 BTCD will be rolled over into next Wednesday's payment.  Additionally, Cassius has generously donated his most recent blog fee, so next weeks payout is already looking to be substantially larger than the first!

This is an historic first for a Gen 1 coin and blurs the line between Gen 1 and Gen 2 capability, thus making BitcoinDark a Gen 1.5 coin.

Although, 13.3 BTCD distributed to 10k+ stakers isn't much nominally, it is largely symbolic of what is to come.  Remember BitcoinDark stakers will be receiving 5% of InstantDEX revenues, 5% of SuperNET revenues, and quite possibly 5% of crypto777 revenues.

Furthermore, services are starting to get in on the action as well;  bitcoindarkdice.net has indicated they will pay 10% of revenues to stakers.  This is a trend that I expect to continue, especially as we come up with ways to incentivise services for doing so.

**Edit**
I've been getting many questions about how to receive dividends.  It's very simple.  You just need to have your wallet open and unlocked for staking to successfully stake a block. Your address will be correlated to the staked block. The more blocks you stake the more share of dividend payments you will receive each week.

I see some other people having issues, so I'm not really freaking out and am pretty confident everything will end ok, but just wanted to chime in that yesterday I converted coins from Dogecoin to BTCD using Shapeshift to a BTCD balance on SuperNet.

I made sure to send the minimum of at least .5 BTCD to SuperNet, but nothing had shown up hey to my BTCD supernet address below.

I see the blockchains are unavailable, so I can't verify confirmations and such but was wondering if this was related to SuperNet not showing the funds as received sure to some of the issues people are reporting.  Shapeshft verified funds were received and transfer complete ... Just kind of interested to know what's causing SuperNet not to sync.

Azeh, can you please compile x86 version of the wallet? I have couple of older laptops with licensed XP dusting around. Would be nice to use those for 24/7 node. Thanks in advance.

In the roaming folder, is the database file supposed to update each time the wallet is open?

The reason I ask is because mine hasn't in the last 24+ hours even though the wallet has been opened several times during that time.

Here's a recent s/shot:





Ordinarily I wouldn't have noticed but am playing closer attention than normal in view of others' reported difficulties.

Thanks in advance for any replies

[CrimsonPermanentAssurance]

Can someone "official" please respond to people's concerns that things are not working, particularly in light of the recent positive activity? It would keep the momentum going.

Thanks!

[ElscottHavoc]

I did receive a PM from a dev asking if I sent coins as mgwBTCD or superBTCD.

I haven't received a response back from my reply, but basically I responded back that in the SuperNet wallet, the address in the BTCD widget and also the address referred to on ShapeShift doesn't reference mgw or super.  I may be misunderstanding things then, but as I'm new to BTCD I didn't see anything obvious about funding my BTCD balance in any way that references mgwBTCD or superBTCD.

SuperNet simply says here is your BTCD address to deposit to on the main page and then ShapeShift simply says deposit some crypto currency the one address and we'll pay out BTCD (no reference to mgwBTCD or superBTCD) to your BTCD address.

Furthermore, from what I had read (unless it's outdated) funding transfers to BTCD into super net would use the multigateway to purchase NXT...but I don't see any new NXT, assets or anything either from my ShapeShift transfer to BTCD.

When I have an opportunity I'll join into Slack.  Got a lot on my plate right now at eork.

Everything is fine with the network and the wallets.  I've read the responses here and others in the community are offering good support.  Please check the OP under Wallets it has a list of steps to do if your wallet is not syncing.  There is also a Config File posted under the Wallets section.
