Someone, please upload current blockchain to google driver or mega, it really takes forever to sync!
Just zip this folder "c:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Cryptonite\blocks".

Unfortunately, I was unable to use it with latest wallet in Windows7. Wallet crashes during loading, I tried it in different configurations (remove all data before unpacking archive, overwrite existing files etc). Perhaps it is an incomplete blockchain, "blocks" folder is only 130MB, my current "blocks" folder is about 700MB and I still have to sync 200K blocks more.

Try not using the gui/qt and just launch daemon. The gui is super flaky on Windows ime.

It crashes with the same error, something about loading blocks from disk. Can anyone confirm that this 130MB blockchain works? I think it does not work at all. Or better upload good blockchain please!

Pleasure. I needed someone's blocks myself to get my client started in the first place...

can someone link me to the newest nvidia miner for this coin?

Quick question on XCN: is it possible to create two transactions, from and to similar addresses with a similar amount of XCN?

More concrete, suppose I wish to buy two products from a vendor online. First, I create a transaction: A --> B, amount X
Then immediately after my purchase, I decide I wish to buy another product with the same price, soL: A --> B, amount X.

Now there's two transactions from account A, to account B, with amount X. Would that be considered valid (taking into account a scenario where one transaction is re-submitted)?

anyone have a fix for the 7 days behind bug? i have tried the suggestion on the first page with no luck.

Nevermind  3rd time was a charm

Seems like now I am in need for recent blocks. Could someone upload the folder for me? I got  stuck 6 days behind and couldn't get rid of it

[igatcha]

cryptonite.conf


rpcuser=cryptoniterpc
rpcpassword=?

addnode=explorer.cryptonite.info
addnode=206.72.193.148

-
The last addnode same as explorer? Works for me anyhow

If problems, remove everything but the wallet file and config file and restart. If using QT, try with cryptonited instead.

Got it back up again. Phew

No problem syncing in Linux.

if you have time, could you create a step-by step to getting xcn working in ubuntu? i've tried before and it has never worked. i'll try that conf file, see if it fixes it.

[igatcha]

Hmm, very strange.

As Im to make a "how-to" for Linux, I also ran in to the 7-days behind sync problem...  I use the same live usb linux that I used to install my operating system where I have my functioning Cryptonite.

I have tried resyncing, deleting block data, etc multiple times, it hits the same error every time. Then I switch to my functioning cryptonite-linux, and delete block data, and it resyncs with no problem

So it seems like the problem is in fact not a random bug, but rather has something to do with some dependencies or such. But as I look through and compare my different setups I cant seem to find any differences, and I cant remember what I did different on my first installation.

I will investigate this some more and report back and post a how-to if I figure it out.

Edit: Nevermind, now my first system also got stuck at 7 days.

Anyways here are the basic requirements for running cryptonited:

Code:

add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
apt-get update

apt-get libdb4.8++-dev
apt-get libboost-all-dev

Then it should run with:
chmod +x cryptonited
./cryptonited

(add the cryptonite.conf in the /home/.cryptonite folder with addnode=explorer.cryptonite.info)

thanks, got it to work. Turns out my setup was good. It was just that I couldn't find any nodes last time I guess. Adding the blockexplorer node to the conf file worked. Are there just few nodes, or is there some general bug in finding nodes? Are people not opening their ports? In fact, the OP doesn't even mention port #

Also, is http://xcn.1gh.com/ the only pool..... and it seems the entirety of network hashrate is on this pool? Where is the pool software published? I didn't see it in the OP and didn't want to comb through the entirety of the thing.

Yea there seems to be a bunch of problems surrounding this project, the main developer AWOL and not much of a community. However, the technology does work pretty good, considering that it has been running for over a year and (with a bit of luck) one can have it up and running, fully synced, within half an hour. Impressive!
In comparison to the actual working concept, the bugs and problems appear pretty minor.

Yeah, I wish I knew enough of the code to understand how portable this is to bitcoin. I know the blockchain mechanisms were somewhat modified to an account-style system, but essentially how difficult would it be for bitcoin to integrate whats been done here? I mean, thats been the concern with alt coins built from bitcoin (well, speculative concern). But I don't know how much has been changed and if it would be possible to merge... upstream?
