How come MN payment is only included in some blocks? Is there a way to avoid it?
I'm guessing the latter as I see that 8Tqx3KnhLiF5wTHX918aU5Sjxw73DQ3Uap is pretty good at avoiding it.
e.g. http://explorer.8-bit.ga/block/b8ca0118668957eddda3727816352147193ada29b304b0aa5ce28a85aa72a4bf

There are cheaters on board who abuse not enforced MN payments. I don't know what's the scale of the problem currently, but the best way to minimize profits of cheaters, maximize profits of legitimate users (and actually improve network security ) is to run both staking- and master- nodes.
Is it true that 8bit was the second coin ever to use masternodes?
Heh, who remembers..?
This coin is pretty old, I don't even remember when I mined it... What I actually remember - is when it was launched, I directed the most of my rigs to Nicehash, to get some immediate profit from the rush (as everybody started to mine it, and hash prices jumped up a lot), but also mined it directly with small portion of rigs. It turned out the profit from directly mining 8bit was much bigger than what I got from Nicehash...
It was a nice launch
, but a lot of time have passed since...How come MN payment is only included in some blocks? Is there a way to avoid it?

Is there any way to speed up the synchronization on linux wallet?
Based on my estimation it will take 10 days to fully synchronize with the network.
It is also using high percentage of CPU ( pushing up to 70-80%).

Snapshot (published few pages back on this thread) is the way... Otherwise you are guaranteed stuck somewhere during synchronisation.
Regarding CPU usage - yes, it is CPU hog. But fixing that issue would need serious investigation to find the reason. Would be nice if someone takes the time to do that... even if this code is going to be replaced at some point.
Here's a link to latest chain data, provided by Robert3Harrison Aug16th (thanks), in a link that user won't have to install megashare app in order to download... maybe this helps someone.

I'm happy to further host any 8bit content, if it were helpful.
I can look into mem issue but don't get hopes up.

It would be beneficial if there was standard api access to the block explorer like most have.
There's standard (ABE compatible) API available (coinmarketcap is fully suported).
Could you give an example of say.... how to get the balance of an address?
http://explorer.8-bit.ga/chain/BIT8/q/addressbalance/8ZTy8WbdpXEpkzriUpanb3bktW9A8ZvEek
Do not abuse this feature by a flood of automated requests please... ie to get a current snapshot of balances of all address it's better to run a private explorer.
Thanks, just writing an interface to check my own balances.

Question:
How to speed up the synchronization process?
I just downloaded the windows wallet.
=> "Synchronizing with the network... "2years and 13weeks behind"
It takes quite some while !!
I have currently 70 active connections with the 8bit network.

A user posted a snapshot about 4 hours ago, download and replace those files in the wallet folder when roaming if you are on windows
(Prior to this eliminate what is inside 8bit, except for wallet.dat and 8bit.conf)
C: \ Users \ your user \ AppData \ Roaming
It is not recommended to synchronize from scratch or you will get a fork
Thanks for this help.
I followed your steps... now I get this error message, when opening the wallet:
EXCEPTION: St13runtime_error
init_blockindex(): error opening database
environment IO error: C:\...\AppData\Roaming\txleveldb\MANIFEST-9793949: The handle is not valid.
C:\Program Files\...\8bit\8bit-qt.exe in Runaway exception
=> What is required to fix this error message?
=> What needs to be adjusted ?
Thanks for your support!
I do not know if you understood the snapshots of the snapshot you should save them in
C: \ Users \ your user \ AppData \ Roaming \ 8bit \
There only copy this: the folder database, txleveldb and the file blk0001.dat
That error has come out because you use the incomplete path, you must note that the files must go inside the 8bit folder
Romanoff123:
I got this same error in Ubuntu. I quick-fixed it by running 8bit-qt as sudo, ie "sudo ./8bit-qt".
You can also get past this problem in windows by right clicking the executable file and choosing "run as administrator"
The better solution would be to go in and change the permissions of the newly added blockchain files... but I'm less sure of how to do that in windows.
Yes!
I finally built 8bit-qt on Ubuntu!
I don't understand how some of you have it so easy. I had to go in and debug/rewrite for days to get it working on Ubuntu... it took quite some time.

What repository did you use for compilation ghitub or other?
ghithub
Yes!

Hello, I have just arrived. The block explorer & website will return this evening (UTC), I am syncing my nodes finally.

where can i buy this coin?i don`t see any listed exchange on ann post,thanks.
Cryptopia is one exchange I know of. It was on Bittrex for a bit, then there were wallet/fork issues... hoping that gets resolved.

Change "bool* pfMissingInputs" to "bool fMissingInputs " in darksend.cpp line 978. On the next line change "pfMissingInputs" to "&fMissingInputs". I could have sent a patch, but I am on a touch screen right now, so... just do manually
That is just a stupid programming mistake done by the first dev (not 8-bit-party). Your compiler is too clever to digest that stupidity.
This code really needs to be refactored...
Should we all apply this patch?
Well, it works somehow with this wrong code. Older compilers are somehow digesting this code, and it looks to be not affecting the functionality (though I didn't test all the features of the wallet).
So it is not a mandatory fix - you need to patch only if it doesn't compile.
And I get that error with the repository that is not in ghitub, while with the ghitub repository there is no such error, the compilation is normal tantu in ubuntu as in debian jessie
