hi, blockchain has stopped on cryptoid ? https://chainz.cryptoid.info/slr/#

I saw that.  They said they updated, but I'll need to see what happened.

-Steve

Wallet is stuck in an infinite loop or not responsive with 100% CPU usage. I've killed the daemon, restarting now.

Just noticed some files have changed in the github repo, but not the version, should I recompile?

Hi fairglu,

Most of the new changes to github are Mac related.  It should be fine to recompile.  If you have any debug output that would be great.  What OS/Arch is it running on?

On a slower machine (Core 2 Duo P8400@2.27 GHz) the CPU usage does cycle up to 100% and then down, wallet window periodically goes into Not Responding state, then gets back to normal - but I do have Firefox with multiple tabs open, too, as well as some other heavy applications loaded;
On faster machines this is not noticeable at all.
Do you know if CPU usage depends heavily on the number of coins in the particular wallet? I will go ahead and test that, too....

Ubuntu 14 LTS, debug.log does not seem to have anything special.

I see some blocks got accepted beyond 830000 in the debug log, but most RPC calls basically time out, and there seems to be an issue in RPC to obtain blockchain info when they go through, for block 830001 the raw getblock output is

Code:

even though txindex is set to 1 in the .conf file, so the explorer cannot be updated with info about block 830001

FWIW explorer wallet is empty.

Thanks fairglu.  That gives me something to go on.  I'll see if I can get a fix in asap.

We are currently at block height 830064.  If you notice any conflicted interest payments, that's normal.  (I have two conflicted.)  You will get caught up, but maybe at a lower interest rate.

I've had 4 stale blocks found so far, though everything seems to be working well. It's staying in synch perfectly, and this is running on a slow netbook. Runs a little clunky but it gets the job done.

[solarcoiner]

As a relatively large holder, should I be getting staking rewards already? I havnt gotten anything yet so far. How can i see if i have found new blocks?

FWIW explorer wallet is empty.

Hi fairglu,

Just curious if you started 2.0.1 with a clean data dir?

If so, you can download the bootstrap here: http://solarcoin.org/downloads/bootstrap.zip

Extract blk0001.dat and txleveldb and move them to the data directory.  That will catch you up to midnight of last night.

If the coins are older than 8 hours, you should see interest payments coming in in the History panel.

Restarting the wallet might help too if it was running a while before the cut-over.

Yes, started from the bootstrap.
Besides the very high CPU usage (one full core E3 @3.2 GHz) and slow RPC calls, wallet is at 830068, so it does not appear forked, the tx of block 830001 cannot be queried however, which stalls the explorer.

History tab shows: Interest 'Generated but not accepted' what does this mean?

The block you created is stale, so the transaction will show as "Conflicted" in the History panel.

I've got two of them.  One for 663 SLR and one for 2,454 SLR.


PS: Double click on the transaction and you will see more detail.

-Steve

[mazzaneo]

Has anyone got any valid blocks yet?

[IMJim]

Great job on the new wallet.......extremely smooth and fast upgrade:-)

[sunny-boy]

I get x amount of slrs in "spendable" and x/10 amount slrs in "staking" ; is there no way to have them all staking ?

[roislecxe]

I'm waiting now for 2 hours for something to happen, but I don't see anything. Except an icon that sais 'staking'  and a percentage that goes to 99% and then back down. And some text that the expected time to earn interest is 2 seconds and the blockexpolorer is at 830073.
I have closed and reopened the wallet, did not help.
The latest transaction towards my wallet was this morning at 10.59hr. (It's now 23.49pm)

Staking is 0.00 Solar and Unconfirmed also 0.00.

Am i doing something wrong?

[solarcoiner]

I think I found a valid block, going to have to wait 500 more blocks untill i know for sure.

My wallet quit unexpectedly so I had to restart it. now it says: In sync, not staking, earning stake time.
What exactly does that mean?

[onsightit]

All,

It may be a couple of days before the network reaches an equilibrium. The "Staking" stat on the Overview page will likely start showing values after a successful block has been submitted.  Mine is already show X coins staking.

Please go to the History page to see incoming interest transactions which represents your contribution of a new block on the blockchain, and the interest earned for "mining" the block.

The current interest rate is starting to come down, and inflation is starting to rise, so give it a little more time.  Thanks everyone for your feedback!

Edit: Also, the block rate per hour will increase over the next couple of days, eventually hovering around 60 per hour (one per minute).

You will see "earning stake time" if your weight is low, or if your coins are newer than 8 hours old.  You can see the age of your coins by turning on "Coin Control" in Settings->Options->Display, then going to the Send page and clicking the new "Inputs" button.  Expand the tree view for an address, and you can see the date the coin was received.  The date is reset whenever you mine a new block with those coins.
