[ANN] Triangles [TRI] Now Stable & Working Anonymous Cloak over TOR - ON BITTREX

[wurstgelee]

ok i'll do that,

side note:  i started this one with stake=0 and it didn't crash

probably because the wallet was used with other version after 108881, right? (so it contains data which doesnt fit to change parameters) see above.

privkey should work around that issue.

[StephenJH]

version after 108881, right?

correct

[wurstgelee]

version after 108881, right?

correct

ok, then thats the cause. let me try to reproduce it...

yep. thats the reason.



Hint: If you used your wallet.dat with any previous released Cheops-Version its likely  "corrupted". It crashes when it tries to stake then. If that happens:

Workaround:

1. start the wallet with "-stake=0"
2. dump privkey in console: "dumpprivkey <TRIaddress>". do this for every Adress you have in the "Receive" Tab. Copy those Keys into a txt file or similar.
3. close the wallet.
4. rename the "triangles"-folder in %appdata%\roaming and keep it as a backup
5. create a new folder "triangles" in %appdata%\roaming
6. put the bootstrap dat there
7. start your wallet. after -2 mins a synced, clean wallet should come up
8. import your priv keys from step 2 via debug console: "importprivkey <privkey>"

Done, you now have a working wallet.

Edit: The two commands for debug console:


dumpprivkey <trianglesaddress> - Reveals the private key corresponding to <trianglesaddress>
importprivkey <trianglesprivkey> [label] - Adds a private key (as returned by dumpprivkey) to your wallet.

That worked @ StephenJH? 

However, you have to resend the transaction you sent after block 108881.

Looks good bro. Now I just need to wait an hour for these coins to mature.

You know it!

1 hour alone is not enough. For network security reasons you cant create a PoS block with coins you created with the same stake modifier - (stake modifier interval - see latest Github commit).

in other words: at least a block with a different stake modifier between when you mined a PoS block + modifier interval  and when your coins mature (1 h later if they got 7 confirmations). those conditions are rather easy to meet though (they ARE already met for this cycle).

same applies to transfered coins.

that modifier interval was 1 hour before latest commit - so thats why we got stuck @ 10977 - now its 5 minutes.


I doubt i made anything clear now.

Basically: 2-3 wallets (croTek, whalebone, pseudonymdude...) and things work. For real this time.

Join the fun!

Update again: Since strange crashes on win8 (only for some users) happened, clean rebuild. Didnt work though - u either have to use a original 10881 blocks wallet (which has never been used with another version) or you have to do the import and export privkey thing. see a few posts above.


Starting @ block 10881 once again (with an updated client - so you have to work with the bootstrap file here if you used yesterdays release!):


THIS APPEARS TO BE WORKING.UPDATE NOW!

This is an instant hard fork - there is no update height involved (because we would never reach it)!

First make a backup of your wallet. Everyone should do that from time to time. Copy the "%appdata%\roaming\triangles" folder (Windows) to a safe place. Done.

WINDOWS wallet, v 3.4.3.1 "Cheops":

https://mega.co.nz/#!dUkW1TBY!tt7a9rVi4qhdkVi-LiT2MXdBTnV_XtLGmq3KGLlptZA


Included is a folder with a bootstrap.dat file with 10881 blocks (if you wallet isn't synced to 10881 blocks before you update OR IF YOU PREVIOUSLY USED YESTERDAYS RELEASE - see the included readme!). Also a folder with a peers.dat file (if you have trouble finding peers - see the readme!). This bootstrap.dat file is also useful if u just downloaded the wallet: create a folder "triangles" in %appdata%\roaming and place the bootstrap.dat into that folder - then start the wallet.

If u have coins in your wallet, please start your wallet  with the "-connect=lkta5xj5nlnxxmrt.onion:24112" switch via commandline the first time after you updated your wallet. Its a non staking node and syncing to that node first prevents initial forking. Wouldn't  be much of an issue if it happens though. This also helps if u have trouble getting a connection despite using the peers.dat (see above).

put your tri addy in that last post

[wurstgelee]

Haha.


@ the guy who resyncs the blockchain from scratch: isn't that annoying? use the bootstrap.dat!

edit: Added it. Also added it to my signature.

[whalebone]

Nice work!! CHEOPS lives.

My wallet is working and is synched.

Unfortunately my coins from Bittrex never showed up. I sent them on 8/18. Is there a step I am missing?

Many thanks.

Yes, there is one step: Bittrex isnt synced yet. Once they are, all these transaction are sent. Either that, or they cancel them in bittrex and you can resend.

Most important:
Not a single coin is lost.


Edit: I think some coins of mine reached minimum stake age and just mined a block. That was the 10977-blocks deadlock. We are obviously past that.

[wurstgelee]

Btw - you asked regarding network weight yesterday:

Its 0 if only few clients are staking (intended behaviour)  - it should rise if more wallets are online/staking.

edit: PoS diff is rising - it lost one zero since blockchain restart. So these extremely fast block intervals should level. Good!

[pseudonymdude]

PoS blocks like a champ.

You mined 14 blocks in 3 minutes?

[wurstgelee]

Low diff. It will adjust.

The number of blocks has no influence on the interest rate. you get 33% per anno based on coinage when the block gets minted - thats it.

edit: Some other of my coins reached stake min age and minted a block. looking really good.

edit: I just mined a 0.00 reward block. Even that can happen with low diff. But as i said - diff is rising/adapting.

[StephenJH]

yeah i'm hitting a lot...
but the last dozen or so were for a 0.00 reward

Yep, makes sense all the blocks were very small... .000904

[wurstgelee]

see above.

edit: diff was 6e-8, now it is 4e-7.

btw guys, i guess u could safely resend the TRI now.

[StephenJH]

So since i've never seen this before... what's with the blocks worth 0? A 'keep the network moving' type of thing?

[pseudonymdude]

The diff is too low and you're mining too fast.  You're still getting 33% per annum.
