[ANN] [TES] ϟ ϟ The Tesla ϟ ϟ Decentralize the Energy System ϟϟ Bittrex

[bocyaj]

ok ok - damn! it was the first time fully synced in a while, with the cryptochainer blockchain [great idea for a site btw], but yeah!, the block count didn't add up; so for avoiding fork issues I am starting over, from scratch, with bocyaj's addnode/connect advice, and using  the nodes shown as active on http://www.multifaucet.tk/index.php?blockexplorer=TES&network_info.
connect=194.135.84.136:1856
connect=192.71.218.138:1856
connect=24.98.149.31:1856
connect=67.71.49.191:1856
with wallet v3.1.0.1-1-g023d801-Teslacoin

so far so good .
will repost when its got there

nice, so im not crazy.  the more the merrier, thanks.  I am curently at 559k.  For anyone with a wallet running, please confirm against the block explorers:

I can't say for absolute certain, if the blockchain I put on CryptoChainer is accurate, but it was synced from scratch.  Now given that the peers connected have differing block counts (two are at 1008528 exactly, and one is at 561500.), hard to tell.  IF there is anyone, who is actually in sync with the explorer (if that's even correct), then if they can provide a blockchain or bootstrap somewhere, that would help greatly.

I wouldn't count on Yobit getting their wallet fixed, as their reputation for updating/fixing completely unreliable.

Thanks Steve !! I wish I would have found your site years ago, it is an awesome idea and would have saved me A LOT of time.  i agree with the comment "if that's even correct".  the chain that is/should be correct is whatever Bittrex is on, we can update explorers easily, Bittrex however is quite a bit more complicated.  does anyone know if its possible to pull the info from Bittrex's teslacoind ?  pretty sure their api is only trading oriented.

I will be testing them out first once I get in sync.

EDIT: Just realized that on bittrex's wallet tab, you can see when the last time a block update occurred and it seems to line up with the explorers...... a very good thing.

[steve321]

Well now I can say, that the blockchain on CryptoChainer.com DOES send to Bittrex, so maybe it should be considered to be the "correct" chain, since that's the largest exchange it appears on...

ok, well that's some good news.  however, i can't get that one to sync anymore.... stuck on block 1008528. looks like others are as well. what is your blockhash for this block?


getblockhash 1008528

Maybe i just need to let it sit for a while, will check on it later.  Once I am up and running and confirmed on the Bittrex chain, will send you the 20k TES.

I will also edit my previous post saying not to use your site.

thanks for the help !!!

Couple of questions:

1)
Why some are subver … ?
/Satoshi:9.1.0.2/
/Satoshi:9.0.0.1/
/Satoshi:3.0.0.1/

Does it matter?
and...
v2.0.0.0-gdf9d55a-Teslacoin
v3.1.0.1-1-g023d801-Teslacoin
guess we all should be in the last one right?


2)
Until which block is the bootstrap?

Thanks!!


btw, to have all in one post
- Wallet
- Bootstrap
- Conf.info


- Last wallet link:

Where is the latest working Teslacoin Windows wallet? I have wallet v2.0.0.0-gdf9d55a-Teslacoin  is this correct?

btw, great job with CryptoChainer.com!
very very useful! 

[bocyaj]

Hey guys,

I am still not having any luck here.   I can't seem to get in sync with Bittrex. :-(

if anyone in sync with them can post what they did or provide a blockchain to download, my offer still stands. 20,000 TES reward.

Thanks.

[Rw13enlib88]

back on win, i just downloaded the wallet and the blockchain

I'm in block 1.008.564

last block 1.009.051

Everyone behind the block 1.000.000, download the bootstrap


wallet

http://cryptochainer.com/dir/blockchains-available/blockchains-page-2/    (look for tes chain)


bocyaj, in which block are you now?
Have you tried to make some autosend to see if it gets updated? (think i've done that in other coin)(not sure if it really works)

I'm trying to move some TES from Bittrex to my wallet... let's see

[bocyaj]

yes there seems to be two forks, one around block 1009057 and one around 1008577.

I've done a couple test withdrawals from Bittrex of 5 TES the other day and I can see them on the explorer:

http://www.multifaucet.tk/index.php?blockexplorer=TES&txid=f23cb46559fdc8ae62ea09f7351b1a71bda3097309c2e75937c41a388832b668
http://www.multifaucet.tk/index.php?blockexplorer=TES&txid=7111c49d234f52c7eaa6a1c34b5a0cdde10fe2ae96b99d9ce030306f3608cc39

so this proves that the explorers and Bittrex are on the same chain.  it also proves that the block update status of the TES wallet on Bittrex is not always right.  Currently Bittrex wallet says last block update was 176 minutes ago and the explorer shows 10 blocks in that time frame.  so there is a time delay in the reports or something is funky.

Anyways, this at least allows me to focus on meeting the block explorer chain which provides much more info.... blockhash, blockcount, etc...

I let my wallet try to sync from scratch overnight with just about every addnode I could get my hands on so I could get a good idea of where everyone stands.  this morning I had 15 connections and took a look through to see who was on what chain.

on the "good" chain: 1009057ish
194.135.84.136:47930
193.198.102.16:39684
188.134.72.213:55485
82.176.15.155:42332
162.255.117.105:63089


on the "bad" chain: 1008577ish
192.71.218.138:1856
188.246.71.198:1856
104.172.24.79:58883

The rest of the connections were in the same boat as me, trying to catch up.

The problem I am having now is that any wallet on the new chain is not syncing blocks to my wallet.  I assume there is some way to disable this

the only node I can currently get a connection too from the "good" chain is below, and it won't send me any block updates.... I assume the "inbound" field at false has something to do with it.

{
"addr" : "194.135.84.136:1856",
"services" : "00000001",
"lastsend" : 1460726916,
"lastrecv" : 1460726887,
"conntime" : 1460726054,
"version" : 63001,
"subver" : "/Satoshi:9.1.0.2/",
"inbound" : false,
"releasetime" : 0,
"startingheight" : 1009099,
"banscore" : 0
}

gonna let it sit for a while... maybe all day and see if can reconnect to anyone else.

Here is my current Teslacoin.conf to only connect to nodes on the good chain.  **my getpeerinfo list shows the odd port numbers, 47930,39684, etc... I also added the default 1856 port as well.

maxconnections=5
connect=194.135.84.136:47930
connect=193.198.102.16:39684
connect=188.134.72.213:55485

connect=82.176.15.155:1856
connect=162.255.117.105:1856


If I start from the cryptochainer file, the only chain I can get on is the "bad" chain and I get the same that Rw13enlib88 shows, stuck on block 1008577 and last block 1009099.  it shows the higher one as a last block since you are connected to a node from that chain, but I could never get up there.

[steve321]

Yes the blockchain I put on CryptoChainer may NOT be the correct chain.  This one is particularly hard to sync.  If someone on the "correct" chain could make their bootstrap or blockchain available to download, it would make things much easier.  It took forever, and many wallet closings and openings to get in sync with that one.

[steve321]

Also Cryptopia's explorer shows 1009112 with nodes:

addnode=194.135.84.136:1856
addnode=192.71.218.138:1856
addnode=24.98.149.31:1856

http://www.multifaucet.tk/index.php?blockexplorer=TES&network_info

connect=82.176.15.155:1856

Let's see if I can move from 1008577

[Rw13enlib88]

Even if "maxconnections" and "connect" to the right nodes, its still connecting to the wrong ones...

I'll delete the blockchain and start from the beginning

how can i reject/avoid some nodes?

that was working perfectly for me.  make sure you don't have any addnodes in there as well.  look at your debug.log and see if it got any errors from your conf file.

once the nodes are connected to your wallet, verify they are still on good chain via getpeerinfo.

tired to upload my blockchain that I started from scratch to my new MEGA account so you could download  ( at 742,000 blocks ), but apparently I need the premium account to share links publicily.

if anyone knows a free way for me to get this file out, i will do it.

if this link works ok then you don't need a premium MEGA - just copy the 'get link' and key from cloud folder.

192.71.218.138:1856

That one is me, I'm taking it down now and will try to resync from some good nodes.

[shkbits]

What can we do, so that an average user will just have to download the wallet from the OP and will be able to open it and sync with the network without going through the hassle of downloading the bootstrap and all.

Can this be done by setting up nodes?
Can we kick out the wallets on wrong chain from the network by checkpointing latest blocks?
