[ANN][BITS][Bitstar] Now on Cryptopia, Nova and Yobit new wallet fork in testing

[4emily]

What I did was to send the BITS from the address in my wallet with the large number of transactions to my BITS deposit address at Bittrex and then withdraw them from Bittrex to a new address in my wallet (one with no previous inputs). I had to keep the TXs out (from my wallet) to less than 50K otherwise they failed. Since transferring my balance to a new address I've not had any problem syncing the wallet.

You don't need to send them anywhere, just back to the same address as a single transaction.

Doing batches at a time, select up to 500 inputs from one address by drumming out a spacebar/down arrow combo down the list of inputs for a particular address, click send and do it to the address they come from, this will consolidate all inputs selected into a single one.

Once done for all the excess inputs, your wallet will perform much better and you can do housekeeping now and then by a simple send of an address balance back to itself without needing to manually select batches of inputs as long as there are less than 500 of them.

Pro-tip, wallet should be locked while you prepare the batch to send otherwise it might fail because some of the inputs are included in an amount that is staking.

My wallet only lets me use maximum 67 inputs or 9997 Bytes or else it says its over the limit and fails. Is there a trick to chose more inputs?

[cryptodevil]

That's odd, my wallet was happy to do 500 at a time (<>75,000 bytes) when I realised I needed to consolidate all those inputs.

Maybe go into console and do a 'repairwallet' to see if that helps raise up the input limit. What version of the wallet are you using?

I have the same limitation. Makes it rather a  pain to move everything.

[cryptodevil]

If repairwallet doesn't help, perhaps try a different version and just copy your wallet.dat to it.

You should definitely be getting at least 500 inputs at a time to send.

[Bitstar_coin]

When it goes red its a suggestion not a physical limitation, if you just trial and error upwards until you hit your limit, its based on how fast your cpu and ram are, I normally get 35k bytes in a block on my laptop.

[Smoothy]

Currently running v1.2.0.0-adgr and when it hit around 3000 mini transactions it made the wallet really slow, so i was forced to tidy it up and that was a real pain as it took many hours... Im running the wallet on a i7 4930k @ 4,7Ghz and 32Gb of ram so i dont think my pc is the limitation to the transactions, but i must admit i dont remember trying the repairwallet and then doing more then 67 transactions as i already spent the time on tidy it and now i keep it clean every 3-4 days, but ill try and let it accumulate more then 67 mini transactions and try the repairwallet function and get back with the result in a few days time

[Bitstar_coin]

I run it on my laptop, once synced it seems fine.   But will be working on some test builds shortly using a different database (leveldb), see if that improves things.  Will update once tested.

Why am I getting zero active connections to the Bitstar network?

Why am I getting zero active connections to the Bitstar network?

Normally because your wallet is going through the peers looking for a connection, just give it time.

Ok now it's downloading but is it normal to be downloading so slow?

It's a p2p network, so it all depends on who you happen to connect to and what speed they have.

Well I have been downloading this coin for a week and I still only have downloaded 232000 blocks.

Thanks.

Given my unerring instinct for filling in forms incorrectly, I thought it wise to double-check beforehand; so, having selected the inputs from a particular address, which box (as shown in the screenshot below) do you use to input that address -  the one shown adjacent to the check box 'custom change address' or the one below that?






I'd have thought that you'd only use the 'custom change address' box for sending to addresses which appear in the Coin Control page with the word (change) in the label column, as here:






Is that correct?

As a matter of interest, what's the significance of these (change) addresses? Why are they there?

Thanks for your help

[cryptodevil]

so, having selected the inputs from a particular address, which box (as shown in the screenshot below) do you use to input that address

After selecting the inputs and clicking 'Ok', the send screen will detail the number of inputs and amount that you have selected. You then enter in the destination address in the 'Pay to' field, which can be the same address as they come from. Whatever amount you select which is equal or less than the total amount shown for the number of inputs you have selected, will be drawn from that total. So if you send the exact same amount (less some minor variant usually in the transaction fee), it will send every single input back to the same address as a single input for that amount.

Once you get the number of inputs for that entire address down to a number you can send all at once, your last housekeeping transaction will see you able to consolidate everything down to a single input.

As a matter of interest, what's the significance of these (change) addresses? Why are they there?

To simplify things, let's imagine you have one wallet with two addresses, but only one of them has a single input for, say 1000BITS. If you perform a basic send, without doing it through coin control, for 900BITS to somebody else's wallet address, it will take the 1000BITS input, deduct the 900BITS and output it to the destination address, while returning the 100BITS change as a new input to the original address.

You could, instead, do a send through coin control from that address and specify that the 100BITS change be sent as an input, not to the originating address, but to your second address. Or anywhere else for that matter, but hopefully it clarifies the function for you.

Any development updates?

I can now confirm that i can send more than 67 inputs (just did it with 660) even if the bytes goes in red and says its over the limit. I just wish i knew this a few months back when i had to clean abit over 3k dust transactions

Here we go again @ Bittrex.

This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on January 23rd unless the average daily trade volume for the last 7 days exceeds 0.2 BTC.

So I just made my bit to help out.
It's now over 1.6 BTC trade vol.

[cryptodevil]

Thanks Jakiman, it is a pain the ass considering that Polo is more than happy to keep us there because of the sNET connection. They know the market will have its day soon enough. Trex just forces artificial market behaviour from coin projects that are too busy working to be regularly pumping and dumping like many high volume coins they host.
