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

[coininvestor]

That error means the coin is already running in the background or another process is using the port that bitstar needs, to fix this there are a few things to try.

• Check the task manager to make sure bitstar isn't still running in the background
• Reboot your pc
• change the config so it uses a different port (port=differentporthere eg port=13253)

The program is not running in the background I don't think.  I deleted the whole wallet including uninstalling the previous version and I still get the same message.

 change the config so it uses a different port (port=differentporthere eg port=13253)

That's the bitstar.conf file, a text document that I created with notepad and copy and pasted the info from a previous post and put in the roaming folder, correct? because I couldn't tell that that made any difference at all.  Maybe I'm not doing it right.  I don't know.

I think you should name the conf file to bitstarcoin.conf like in litecoin litecoin.conf?!

You also need to delete all config files.

Bitstar is not running in the background.  I checked the task manager and Deleted everything except the wallet.dat and the fast start.  I renamed the bitstar.conf to bitstarcoin.conf.  None of this has made any difference.  I am still getting the same error message.  If it is the wrong port, how do I change the port?

What port does Bitstar use?

I can't anymore remember what to do with the list of nodes? Some kind of conf file?

You create a Bitstar.conf file in your roaming path for Bitstar folder
Normally it's here  C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Bitstar\
Use your pc username instead of yourusername above

add the following in Bitstar.conf

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=62124
port=62123
gen=0
server=1
addnode=seed.bitstarcoin.com
addnode=seed2.bitstarcoin.com
addnode=seed3.bitstarcoin.com
addnode=seed4.bitstarcoin.com

change the port=62123 line to port=41123 (or something else)

On other news, we now have 11 nodes online all between 100mbit and 1gbit

If its the exact same error, then its not loading the config file, so either the config file is named wrong or your putting it in the wrong place.  It needs to be bitstar.conf (Bitstar.conf on *nix) and it needs to be in %appdata%/bitstar folder

If your on *nix (Linux or Unix based operating systems like macosx) then you have to have a capital B, windows doesn't care about caps

This is what my bitstar.conf file looks like.  I think you're right that it is not loading.  It is in the %appdata/bitstar folder along with the blkindex.dat and the wallet.dat and the log etc.

Not sue why that is then, maybe try changing the port from the command line instead, easiest way is to create a shortcut then add "-port=41123" after the exe information.  Other than that it may be time to investigate what is actually using that other port.

I don't remember how to do that.  How do you get to the command line?  How do I check what is using a particular port?

To create shortcut, go to exe > send to desktop (create shortcut), then on your desktop right click > properties on it and add it to the target line

Yea man your speaking Greek to me.  I loaded the wallet onto a second computer and it doesn't work on there either.  I'm out, this might be a great coin but it's just not working for me.   If someone wants to buy my coins off of me send me a PM.

T3cLtd: Any news on project?

[T3CLtd]

The second CPMT SuperNET build cycle commences next Monday (https://nxtforum.org/unity/cpmt2-proposal-for-the-second-build-cycle/) and aims to deliver some of the tech critical to our own needs in relation to the ATMs, primarily related to the decentralised trading platform, 'iDEX'.

Once we are able to deliver on what is needed through SuperNET we will be better positioned to move forward on a number of Bitstar projects and will update the community accordingly.

Thanks for update, always good to see how dedicated you're  on to supernet and bitstar project. It's been long year for all developers and these things just don't happen in a night. As supporter of this coin I can't be think of how much it take everyone's free time and for what? "silly internet money" as slogan goes. But after all these Greece debate we all know that this is needed for people. So to all of You: Thanks for yours effort's and dedication to this task!

Had issues with my BITS 1.4.0.0 wallet saying it couldn't read my blkindex.dat.

So I started fresh, downloaded the latest fast start pack on the OP. During sync, I had to repairwallet to get my coin balance back. Now it's fully synced.
But it says WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers now. which I've never seen before with BITS.

Any ideas why this message is coming up?

Update:
I've re-synced with the fast start pack again. (without the "repair wallet")
Still same. My coins all are there but still get the same warning as above.

That message simply means your block chain is not up to date yet, please give it more time to sync.
