So I realoaded the entire wallet with 2.04 and it's stuck on the last couple of blocks,
It would be nice to be able to stake while blocks still give 10%. I have since given up on that .

How is Bittrex trading at the moment? Their own sidechain of wallet addresses?
Or on the ver1.5 wallet?

Or are they running ver2.0.4?

Thanks,
-lfloorwalker

they are not running anything except their trading engine. You can still trade with available funds until they upgrade to the new wallet.
Expect a few more days untill their wallet reopens for security reasons

Thanks, their trading engine can assign an address from the main blockchain and then generate own (external to blockchain addresses, up to n "off blockchain" node or self generating public addresses).
Impressive. I think Bleutrade is doing that as well.

 i had to delete everything and reinstal 2.04 and it finaly sync basically start from scratch and delete the roaming solarcoin folder under appdata

just make sure you have backups first!

That's exactly what I did! I deleted the entire Solarcoin folder in Appdata/roaming.
Upon reinstalling, I let the blockchain load and now it's stuck.
did you press -file-reload blockchain when it was done?
All I want to do is support the network and stake. I had it working in the previous 2.01 version , and I can't get it to work since then.

Issue in 2.0.4 (not sure if it existed in 2.0.3, but I think I did see it in 2.0.1, there was no time to re-create, the issue is period-of-time dependent):

Description (no specific numbers, will further investigate if needed):

1. While still in 2.0.3 (re-installed ~18 hours ago) spendable amount started decreasing and staking increasing as expected, total being correct as expected (spendable+staking+interest).
2. Upgraded to 2.0.4 about 10 hours ago.
3. 10 blocks found since then, all in the first 2 hours (until non-reserved spendable got almost exhausted - see below)
4. I also did have a non-staking reserve purposely set while still in 2.0.3, increased it in 2.0.4
5. 1-2 hours ago, spendable was down close to the reserve amount, with some SLRs left to go staking before the non-staking reserve was reached - my intention was to test that specific functionality.
6. I check again several minutes ago, and see Spendable back up to almost the initial balance (but not quite there). As pointed out in 3., last block found was almost 8 hours ago, so the change in numbers is apparently  not related to finding a block
BUT
7. Staking amount has NOT decreased. Did not track the numbers precisely for this test, but it looks like Staking stays at the max number it had reached.
8. Total is now wrong - it is almost double the actual number
The wrong Total number appears in 2 places - in the Balance stats, as well as on the bar to the left of the Staking circle.
9. Transaction History does NOT update to the wrong Total number even when I update it the usual way, so I guess the History Total is apparently CORRECT
9. Number of confirmations of the first block found ~18 hours ago - 103 as of now (time of writing)
10. Number of confirmations of the first block found in 2.0.4 - 72 as of now (time of writing)
I was expecting to start seeing Spendable go back up only after interest confirmations reached the 501 as noted.

Edit: 11. Just re-scanned the wallet, it is back to the correct numbers as of point 5 above.

Issue with unexpected increase in Spendable leading to a wrong Total remains. A requirement to re-scan wallet when that happens is NOT ACCEPTABLE

This is very much like what is happening to me since 2.0.1 so not just limited to 2.0.4. It is like the Coins from my Stake are faked into a release and then kept again in a microsecond and stuck in perpetual stake.
Here is a screenshot:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zwyu9bkf41xu646/solslr5.PNG?dl=0

The transactions were sent in from Bittrex and I started staking on 2.0.1 and got 1 Stake by the Sun Icon for 5+ coins. This is grabbed in with the other 50K+ on staking too and not Unconfirmed. I posted earlier how the Second Transaction for 50K+ and The Reward add up perfectly as the Staked coin. I also have sent 10K+ out of my wallet now that was not staked to prove that the 5 Coins I got for reward are being staked and not as Unconfirmed. As you can see zero unconfirmed.

Then to top it off it is Double the amount of coin. But this comes and goes and now I realize it is trying to release the staked coin but can't since the 5 are included that are unconfirmed but not listed as unconfirmed. It still has 400+ confirms. But it may be stuck indefinitely.

I rescanned and reloaded the blockchain again and it finally works now!

Thanks for the hardwork how was your trip?

Thanks, got quite a bit of climbing in, and camped with my brother and my dog Leo.  Good times...

-Steve

Thanks for the great work Steve! I am a rockclimber also, mountains are great...
Just updating two of our wallets to 2.0.4
I didn't delete peers.dat yet. Should I still do that?

Nice, where do you like to climb?

It's a good idea to remove peers.dat with this release, as there has been a bit of a battle between 2.0.1/2/3 and 2.0.4.  It will let the nodes sort out who's good or bad, and restore those that were bad, but are now good.  (That's the "technical" explanation.)

-Steve

Thanks steve, I usually freeclimb in Hokkaido, and Nagano.
Indoor climbing (bouldering) at the gym. Climbing is like a continuous 3D jig-saw puzzle.

Deleted peers.dat on windows.

Cheers,
-lfloorwalker

Cool, do you know Yuji or Akiyo?  They are good friends. Yuji is a legend and owns a gym in Japan.  Akiyo is a phenom world cup boulderer.

This is my son climbing in Japan a couple years ago while filming for the North Face with Yuji.  The Sensei:

Do we need to reload blockchain after update to get our node staking? mine doesn't seem to work, reloading the blockchain now...

[solarcoiner]

Alright, I installed 2.05 and reloaded the blockchain.
Now it says staking at the bottom right of my client. however my CPU is almost idle, how can I be sure it's working?
it says in sync and staking, expected time to earn interest: 4 hours
In the past I remember this value moving up and down pretty constantly, but right now nothing seems to be happening.
I just want to know if my wallet is finally really staking or not. thank you for your help.


edit: can someone confirm 2.05 uses 80% less cpu power? thx

[solarcoiner]

Can someone clarify how staking really works and why I am getting weird numbers in the spendable tab?
For some reason I have 0.514 ''spendable'' slr even though my stake is a lot more than that.
Shouldn't I be able to spend the coins I already had before block 830000?
I'm worried that my wallet file got corrupted.. My total balance is fine , only the spendable is displaying 0.514 SLR even though there is no transaction for that amount. I have no idea why it's keeping those 0.514?
Is everything fine with my wallet or do I need to reload it from a old backup wallet.dat file?

How much in being "staked"? Staked coins are not available until the stake reward is confirmed. Currently it takes 510 confirms.

Or you could just let the software run for a day or so and allow it to get its' digital ducks in a row.  It will eventually make some sense.  'Have a little faith Moriarty' (Kelly's Hero's).

Edit: 12. Wallet got into the wrong numbers again, same large portion of Spendable erroneously shows on the Stats, and summed up with Staking gives the wrong Total. Restarting the wallet does not fix the numbers displayed, only re-scanning fixes it as pointed out in 11, but just for a while.

Will now upgrade to 2.0.5 and look forward to witnessing (or better not) the same issue.
