Hello, community,

Seems like there is again problem with syncing the blockchain in the new client.

Anyone has similar problems? Some hints would be highly appreciated.

Was experiencing similar problems. I noted too that the amount of active connections plummeted to 1 or 2 (even 0 iirc) in the hours preceding.

Perhaps members normally staking were on a testnet?

Anyway I nuked everything except the wallet.dat and am now re-syncing the whole blockchain.

Will let u know if it works out

EDIT: I also noticed the Announcements section of the wallet has been updated. No longer says "00Smurf is awesome" + has a new entry

Lol, sorry about that. Discovered a bug, that allowed anyone to make announcements. That was my test announcement. It's since been fixed.

Thanks for replies. I apologize to ask again. but the sync problem seems to remain with no progress though. Just can't get what am I doing wrong. Having around 4 active connections most of the time, however sync is stuck for several days already. The default win firewall is turned off, running comodo instead. Win 8.1. The main point is that up until the day before yesterday everything seemed to be fine. Now the number of "blocks remaining" to sync only grows.

I have been having similar problems and I changed to litemode yesterday and that seemed to solve everything.  Working fine now  
 

Thanks for reply =) Maybe a silly question, but how do you change to litemode? Here in the thread I only see the download link for the full client.

Regards.

Hi, you can either remove everything in your appdata folder except for the wallet.dat, That is what holds the keys so you can access your coins DO NOT DELETE wallet.dat
But remove everything else in that folder and you can get the bootstrap.dat file from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=745352.msg9140802#msg9140802 and follow the instructions. Hint: There is only one wallet download necessary its both full and litemode able.

The bootstrap.dat is most of the blockchain and the client will retrieve the blocks from that file; making it faster instead of downloading them slowly over the net. Let it do its thing for some time and you should be hot to trott. Alternatively you can follow these instructions to run the lite wallet. http://shadowcoin.info/wiki/ShadowLite

Have added the bootstrap file and restarted the wallet. It is now importing the bootstrap chain file for 3 hours already. Does it really take so long or there is something wrong with my setup? From appdata everything besides wallet.dat has been deleted before restarting.

Regards.

I would backup the wallet.dat and start with a fresh build.

^^ use litemode to sync to newest block and then go back to fullmode

Info: http://www.shadowcash.info/wiki/ShadowLite

The conf file should exist in your AppData/Roaming/ShadowCash folder, if not you can create it there as 'shadowcash.conf' and add the wished parameters.

Yes the .conf is not automatically created.

Just make a new txt file and rename it shadowcash.conf.

Alternatively, (in Windows) you can create a txt in the same directory as shadow.exe and type "shadow.exe -thinmode" and save the file as "shadowlite.bat" then whenever you want the lite wallet, you run the .bat. Whenever you want the full wallet, you run shadow.exe.

Thanks for all your advices. Launched in thin mode now - ok, waiting to get all the headers of transaction history, which indeed seems to be faster than getting the blocks. Will update when its complete and whether everything would be up-to-date on my wallet, the wallet.dat has been imported to the appdata directory from backup.

I suggest that you re-download the blockchain, If you follow the steps typed above, on this page, you will achieve this. There are a few alternative options too. All of the terms we use will also show up in a search engine. Just add bitcoin, litecoin, or crypto to the search if they don't. HINT: Thin mode is by far the quickest and easiest way to setup a wallet and be synced with the network http://shadowcoin.info/wiki/ShadowLite

I am definitely not seeing the wallet.dat file I have even clicked the view all hidden files and folders I can't see the appdata folder either I wonder if there is something I am doing wrong with it

Should be located in Appdata/Roaming/ShadowCash

If you're in windows 7/8, open the start menu and in the search bar type "%appdata%" and hit enter. This will bring you to the correct directory, just find the ShadowCash folder and the wallet.dat will be in there.
