[KOBO] Kobocoin - Mobile Money for Africa

[TheTribesman]

Could you also please provide a non-installer version? I'm sure some people would prefer it, including me. Thanks!

Here you go. I'll update all the necessary places.

UPDATE:

Kobocoin ABE Explorer is now up and running

http://167.160.36.102:2750/



The X15 hashing issue appears to be resolved. There's still a few teething problems so the service might be up and down a few times over the next few days.

I'll also add a link to it from the main website, and a return link. There's a few things I want to sort out but it appears to be serving the correct information. I want to re-install to verify the fix, and also to clean up all the rubbish from finding the fix.

Once Abe and website integration is sorted I can start building the android wallet.

Just reporting in on a problem I've seen SO many times since the end of PoW. I hoped that the new wallet would solve it but no such luck.

This is what I see:-

I'll get a minting notification, checking 'transactions' will tell me that that the block has 1 confirm, but when I check back later - many hours - it'll still say 1 confirm, the mouse-over on synchronisation will say 'up to date' but when I check block explorer I find it stopped syncing after that 1 block conformation. When I re-start the wallet, the block I mined is orphaned, and I'm several hundred blocks out of sync. I only get about 1 block in 5 that isn't orphaned. About 2 Kobo every 3 days, with over 10K staking.

This isn't great performance compared with my #1 staking coin, which only orphans maybe 1 block in 30 & always re-mints within a few hours.

Anybody got any ideas? Dev?

I haven't had that issue with either wallet. Which OS are you using? Also can you PM me and send me your debug.log?

I think for this coin it came from not having a full 10 good connections on the original version. If you don't manage to connect to someone that puts out a lot of blocks, I really think that's when it occurs. No clue as to why the wallet stalled on certain blocks before, but I think it had to do with another peer you were connected to having an orphan as well. If I see it happen on the newest version, I'll have logs.

I have taken a great interest in this coin and am going to start trading.  Good job dev team.  I wish you the best of success.

Are you running multiple wallets (different coins at the same time)?

It's running on Win7 Pro X64, with 2 other wallets 24/7 (Zeitcoin PoS & Bytecent PoM) I never get more than 7 connections. I also have Vericoin wallet open about 1 day in 7.

Will PM you the log now.

Here's a visual to illustrate the issue:-

It just happened again

This screenie taken 20 minutes after minting notification:-



Wallet stopped syncing at block 79510 but says 'up to date'.

Hi, That's not the updated wallet. It doesn't have messaging.

[LionOfNarnia]

Fair point, on last re-start I ran from the 'old' desktop shortcut, but honestly, it makes NO difference. I've re-re-started from the FOR SURE new shortcut, as soon as it FUs again I'll screenie it.

Can you also try removing your current Kobocoin.conf and just let the wallet sync with the seeders (with no conf file). I'd even suggest deleting everything except your wallet.dat (back it up first) from the AppData/Roaming/Kobocoin directory and letting the new wallet sync from the start. It shouldn't take more than 1 hour (if even that). 

[LionOfNarnia]

I'll try both - in order.

Will check back in later

E2A- without .conf & after 2 hours, I have 8 connections & next minting is in 10 hours so it'll be 2moz AM before if I know if the orphan prob is solved.

Good. I hope there's improvement. I found that when I've run multiple wallets in the past that sometimes syncing can get 'stuttery', and wallets will occasionally need restarting. I stopped doing it because of that.
