[ANN][FAIR] FairCoin - for a fair economy, featuring proof-of-cooperation

[Anduril_FotW]

Thank you for all your good work Smartaction and rest of the FAIR crew !!! 

I'm really really impressed that you're actually going to release working Android and IOS wallets !
I don't think alot of other crypto's have actually managed that right ??

To show my ever growing faith in FAIR, the FAIR team and Fair Coop, I've been buying some extra FAIR on Bittrex !
Just now I also spiced up the order book again, so let's keep this train moving forward 

Please keep us posted on the mobile wallets !

near 2btc volume on bittrex cheap faircoins are running out

Yes, is important to see that faircoin is tied to euros more than bitcoin, therefore because bitcoin have lost value last day
is logical that price BTC/FAIR goes up.

Otherwise has been big buys this days in getfaircoin.net, so we are buying for sell to them

Hey!

A payment gateway for cryptocurrencies, with woocommerce and other plugins has added faircoin for voting
https://gourl.io/voting-fair.html

At this moment we are not focusing for wordpress plugin, (fairmarket will be in odoo) so could be perhaps a good complement. Anyway perhaps paid votes are not the better in my opinion, but could be interesting to negotiate with them directly...
(also some ways for testing their plugins are useful to receive free bonus)

cheers

[smartaction]

Seems that low price sellers has been finished in bittrex. (After a lot of days really...)
There are not more sell order low than 3000 satoshis for the moment..

we will see how this evolves...

Hi there,

here is a small step-by-step guide.

• start wallet
• switch to transaction view
• right click on any transaction
• choose 'clear orphans'
• open the debug window
• switch to console
• enter repairwallet at the bottom
• enter stop (which will cause your wallet to exit)
• start your wallet again
• done. Your balance should now be displayed correctly

See the frontpage of this topic, but in short:

FairCoin's Specifications:

- POW/POS Hybrid
- 50,000,000 premined coins distributed through the airdrop on March 6th and 8th 2014
- Flat 6%/year minting reward, halving every year until reaching the baseline of 1.5%
- 21/90 days Min/Max Weight
- 3.3 Minutes Block Target
- DarkGravityWaveV3 Difficulty Retarget
- 0.001 Coin Mining Reward

Right now we're at approx 51 million. See https://chain.fair-coin.org/chain/FairCoin for the exact number.
We're at the second year that this coins exists, so the minting reward is now at 3%.

Thanks a lot I can see my coins now encrypted and minting now

Recommended FairCoin wallet update v1.5.1

Hi,

we have been receiving some reports from users about their wallets not synchronizing to the network. I had been looking into this for the last 3 days to find out what causes the odd behaviour.

My analysis revealed that the block index database got corrupted. It was very hard to track down the problem because it has to do with concurrent block processing in the wallet.

Anyway, I am very confident that the changes I made to the code base fix the problem and all wallets will synchronize again without any problems.

Therefore I complied a new FairCoin wallet release v1.5.1. All users of FairCoin are advised to upgrade to the latest version now. We consider this a critical bug because the impact on the block chain is rather unpredictable, so please install the latest release which is available here: http://fair-coin.org/#wallet

After the upgrade one of two things can happen:

1. The wallet starts normal without any problem. Your block chain database was intact. No user action required.
2. The wallet complains about a corrupted database found and advises you to delete the directory 'txleveldb' and rename the file 'blk0001.dat' to 'bootstrap.dat' in the FairCoin data directory. Please follow the instructions. Upon restart of the wallet it will then re-load the block chain from the file 'bootstrap.dat' and rebuild the index. Do not interrupt this process. It will take about 10-20 min. depending on your hardware.

Please note that the database corruption only affects the block chain index data not the wallet.dat file which contains your FairCoins. Your coins are and were safe!

This is not a mandatory update but it is highly recommended to upgrade as soon as possible because you never know if you wallet is affected. In case your wallet does not display the right balance follow the step described here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702675.msg10833187#msg10833187

Thanks to Mario and Graham who kindly provided corrupted block chain data for analysis.

Hmm. I think it's simpler to just delete everything except the

  wallet.dat and the peers.dat and the Faircoin.conf  (or .info) if you have one.

Is there anything that speaks against doing that?

I just did that after my wallet complained and it seems fine. Although now it seems to open a lot faster than before.

EDIT: Hmm maybe not. I am missing 1000 FairCoins + a mint seems stuck unconfirmed in the Transaction List.
Nothing listed in Stake or Unconfirmed. I remember I closed it when a mint was pending.

could repair it. Here is what i have done (for the case other hits the same problems)

1) in transaction right click clear oprphans
2) help->debug->console enter repairwallet

if you see something like this:
{
"mismatched spent coins" : 1,
"amount affected by repair" : 1028.08000000
}

then 3) close wallet and reopen and  the missing coins should be back.

Great!

Anyway this was explained already in the Thomas statement

Hi gadado,

deleting everything except the wallet.dat file is also a possible way to do it, but you have to re-download the complete block chain, otherwise it will just be red from the bootstrap.dat file. For some people download volume still matters.
