Topic: [ANN] Maieuticoin | 2014% PoS | 10k/MMXIV and BALLS/MMXIV Markets NOW OPEN - page 122. (Read 283202 times)

Now that the conversion to POS is complete, what are the next plans?

1.0.1 is the newest version. Your coins will be waiting for you

http://mmxiv.blockexplorer.cc/tx/7d412dc560881014cfb98fb2e645ec90dfcabdcd8eb4ca2237d87cec7cf28c21

The crash at the beginning (first run) is a quite normal experience and not permanent.
But sometimes it keeps crashing if a not properly detached database or even parts of it are still in the data folder.

Try this, wich is the savest way:

1) backup your datafolder make shure to have a save copy of your wallet.dat
2) uninstall the current mmxiv2 wallet
3) delete the remaining datafolder
4) install the newest version
5) start it and watch it crashing
6) before next run enshure (via taskmanager) that it is not still running as a gostprocess
7) start it again (it should get staple on the second/third run) and wait for any connection
close the client again and replace the wallet.dat with your backed up copy (ONLY the wallet.dat, not any other datafile)
9) start the wallet again and .... good luck :-)

I'm testing, but I think I still have a problem...

This is what I had...

I could not sync, so I downloaded the installer again and according to my running wallet (v1.0.0b) there was a newer version released since I last tried.

So I thought nothing of it and installed the new version. Which crashed at startup. (I'll edit details later)

A little panicking later I luckily had an old copy of the MMXIV2 wallet and installed that again. Wouldn't start either! Same error (see edit).

So I took an older backup wallet and replaced that for the new one. That worked again: my address is safe again.

But now I'm going to need to update the wallet to v1.0.1 and therefore probably create a wallet crash again...


Sigh. Who has been here? Should I request a new swap with new wallet?? XD

Let me know for I have to bug the developer again... I'd like to know what's up!

Got another PM

I hope you by now have updated the [ANN]...? And maybe, just maybe, tell me next time that you did the swap...? Would have prevented a hi-jack of the [ann] ;p

twitter.com/devnullius

I don't use Twitter. If you were talking to someone on there, it wasn't me. I am always in #MMXIV on IRC

Also, devv, I sent you your coins hours ago...

I can totally understand devvienuis' frustration.

Yes, the swap did go through flawlessly for the most part, but only for those of us who happened to be keeping tabs on this thread during the 3-4 day window between when you announced the swap and when Bittrex completed it.  After that, you pretty much removed everything in the OP regarding that there was a new blockchain, new wallet.  Without reading through this entire thread, you'd never know it happened.

Someone who hasn't checked this thread in awhile, or just happened to miss that 3-4 day window, if they looked at the OP right now, it sounds like there was a hard fork and all you need to do is download the new wallet.  No mention of a swap or anything, no mention that the original blockchain is now defunct and you need to contact MMXIV to get your coins swapped.

So we don't get any more angry MMXIV users in here spreading FUD and calling this a scam, I highly suggest you put something in the OP like this:


The original MMXIV blockchain has been replaced as of 8/1/2014, all new MMXIV addresses begin with "M".  If you are still using the original MMXIV wallet (address begins with a 1) please send a PM to MMXIV to get your balance swapped over to the new chain.

The critique is not about the coin, it's about the communication. Devvie has some legitimate points.
Believe it or not, we're trying to help you. Do you think MMXIV (or any coin) can be successful if the users are constantly frustrated by lack of communication? I for one can't imagine why you wouldn't keep a "sticky" or a note in the OP and the website explaining what had happened with the fork until they had all been successfully converted. What would that hurt?

Devvie:

From anonymous, so I keep faith


I will do just that!

I quote from your announcement...
I did just that

Please come back with constructive criticism?

This is an anonymous message I got from someone... They are not my words, but I wanted to share them anyway. Please don't be mad! See it as a learning opportunity...

POST-EDIT: Some more chats...

But 1.7 out of 2014... I was proud on that you know?

he says
Yes, but you will ultimately get it, right?
I mean, if not they are stealing you.

me
I dunno, still connections to old network (so it is possible) but no blockchain synchronization will be done
anyways: you go relax

he says
A delay of a couple of days doesn't make any goood reason to steal.

me
Just wanted to share what I'm all up with ;p
I was there FRIDAY immediately! Got a yellow popup from the client: connection lost and went online...
Been trying ever since
in a fucking comment... A comment!!
2:35 AM

he says
I don't think connections on the old wallet are worth anymore...

me
worth? Working*?

he says
They are doing and 'artificial' transfer, from one blockchain to another...

me
meaning manual?

he says
so connection on the old blockchain are useless I think, even if they ultimately bring you your coins...
because you'll have them in a blockchain that is not active anymore.

me
yeah wallet will not work anymore; ergo worthless unless swapped

he says
That's it.
And they are swapping at their will.
So insist.

me
so I should suck up? ;p
YOu know how easy that is for me XD

he says
If they don't do the swap for you, let the whole thread know they steal 1,7 coins.


Well... I at least can keep you guys updated, no? ;p

Devvie

There are coins that manage to hard fork without losing compatibility for the old wallet... No?  


I am patient and open to any solution. I tried to reach out many times but just got ignored. And with 50% PoS on such a limited coin, every day of delay, costs real MMXIV. I have been supporting this coin from the beginning - just check my twitter: @devnullius. You might see I'm rather active and supportive for altcoins and crypto news in general. No? ;p

And when I'm finally contacted by him after many desperate attempts through twitter, webform, PM; I only got a: please don't fud.

What I did not yet get is a *solution* Not even a: well you are fucked, you had to find that small comment and ignore all other media outlets we have. For we are professionals for the people that like to play detective all day long. Again: I checked and followed all main outlets! (Twitter? Inactive and ignored) (Website? Not updated for this huge important fork) (Website contact form? Never heard back of them). So yes, I started very polite and friendly - that's who I am! But I am also a little annoyed about a loss of 1.7 hardly mined MMXIV, where I was mining for from the first hour of launch...



I'm there to help *ANY* altcoin promotion! Send me a DM. But most tips I have given earlier, I think?

Peace!

PS: and how to swap for all people still not forked???

twitter.com/devnullius

Please don't be so easily offended... Our critics are legit. You totally ignored your twitter for example and you failed to update the [ANN], only a comment was posted. Even the website does not give any information... All had to be found in 1 single comment you made... I'm good and sharp, but really: I missed that despite 3 weeks of close following. I immediately noticed last Friday the fork was there: no more sync, despite connections.

But again: you are here now ♥ PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW TO CHANGE THEM COINS? PLEASE DO NOT TELL US WE WERE TOO LATE AND WE LOST *everything*??

Please...

I also got your PM, I sent a reply. See below?

I really can't complain about the swap. Shure, you will always be able to find someone, who handled this and that more or less sophisticated. But ask yourself: What do you really want?
A wallet and coin that never updates and dies? Everywhere around us are threads full with scamcoins, disappering maintainers and chinese copycats. Here you have somebody who stands by his creation and risks really everything. When things went  wrong there was always a honest aproach to fix them. So what  do you need, to give a coin your REAL support? If you know better how to do it, help him. Why should a coin stand by his community, if the community does not stand by its coin?

Sorry for fixing the coin too often

To be fair, it would help if you had a "push" notification method, perhaps an email distribution list. Now I feel like I have to login to this website everyday and check this thread in case there is some announcement.

I don't think it's a fair expectation that everyone who's ever mined our bought or owns MMXIV to check this thread frequently.

It was actually very well handled. We even did it with a third party through Bittrex. Please don't blame us for missing the announed swap

Just reload client and your coins will show back up. Just a UI issue when they move. No balance is lost, though

Again, can someone explain how the staking cycle works? I have about 14 MMXIV. I received a mint by stake on 8-9, 8-11, and 2 early this morning (8-12). But my wallet is currently showing a balance of only ~0.5 MMXIV and a stake of ~7MMXIV. Not sure where the other 6.5 are at the moment but the way the client has been working they'll reappear shortly.

But again, can someone please explain the cycle? How often am I supposed to be getting a stake?

Do you have an email address??

Thank you!

My NEW address: Miqg46W8NKPTWxoNrdLATrNgqXeDoWmjJj

Thank you for the follow-up. I don't trust exchanges any longer so I keep most of my coins in my wallet.

I must say: MOST AMATEUR SWAP (pretty much) EVER!!

I am STILL waiting and STILL no response!!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE ANNOUNCED BETTER!!!

♥ follow ups, hate Developers. F*ck this swap
