Since I updated the the 1.8 wallet, I keep randomly noticing that the wallet will go from fully sync'd to suddenly saying ~7800 blocks remaining. (or a similar number but it's always close to 8k when I notice it)

If I let it go it eventually syncs again but this can't be normal... anyone else experiencing this??

Android wallet update:

Hello everybody; I'm working on a Java MintCoin library and an Android wallet.

For best security and long term development, I forked from latest bitcoinj last week. Converted it to Scrypt. Made it able to communicate with my local Mintcoin wallet over network. I just updated it to understand and accept PoS/PoW hybrid blocks, and I can announce you that it can sync with the blockchain from genesis block up to #239870, which is generated just minutes ago Smiley

There are some missing features yet:

- It can validate PoW block difficulties (calculation is a little different in PoW/PoS hybrids than pure PoW coins, PoS blocks affect calculations, and modifying bitcoinj library for this task really had some challenges) ; but it doesn't try to validate PoS block difficulties yet (this is a security issue and will be fixed before releasing)

- It doesn't verify POW block rewards (due to the fact that I couldn't find a specific pseudorandom generator implementation that decides on randomized POW block rewards). I don't think this would be an issue as the main use case would be a Simple Payment Verification wallet, checkpoints will cover our security up to removal of PoW from MintCoin (though it will be nice to have the checks in place)

- Minting: It's now almost clear that minting would be possible even in SPV wallet mode. I will annonuce details later. I have to figure out validating PoS blocks first.

- UI: I'm just trying to get the pure library working properly now. Once the library is working, it'll be very easy to fork/make an Android App that uses it

- Bloom filters: Here is a request for the community: Current Mintcoin wallet doesn't support Bloom filters. Bloom filters allow SPV clients download only the transactions they're interested in (instead of all transactions in blocks), reducing mobile users' data usage dramatically. Please put a bounty on it so that someone can merge it from bitcoin client. Android wallet will work without Bloom Filter support in the main client, but its data usage would be much more.



This is great to hear! Thank you, paspi!

Relatively speaking - 400k coins in this segment (dont take offense, we have very similar amounts!) is a drop in the bucket so the luck of things may have a lot to do with it.  I had a streak of bad luck much like yours for just over a week of crap POS blocks not getting accepted, then when I was about to shoot my wallet - it dropped a massive accepted POS block.

I'm not saying to cease all of your search for a "cure" - but I wouldn't exactly freak out at this point either.  If you ran the check/repair wallet commands really there should be no resaon to go through a redownload of the blockchain numerous times.  I dont think your going to magically fix things that way.  I would think you would see other issues in the earlier mentioned debug console command, your wallet would be out of sync, having trouble sending/receiving, SOMETHING extra.  Not just you can get a POS block to confirm.

I realize its frustrating - but I really believe your going to be alright at some point.  Do your best to either shut it down and forget about it for a week or two and then open her up and let it run for 24 hours to see what happens.  Of course, I'm saying after you've tried the things you've seen mentioned here just so you dont drive yourself nuts with the "what ifs".

Good luck - if I think of anything I"ll be sure to report back

EDIT:  On a side note - everyone seems to be ooing over the BC "rally".  I dont understand why because if you normalize their coin supply and price with ours - if we were on the same "rally" we would be around 58-60 satoshis.  Not exactly big money folks.  So I really wouldn't fret over their face value for the moment!

Power to the MintCoin!!! Smiley

In the last week I've mined a lot of coins but always... ALWAYS... I have the same... "UNCONFIRMED... GENERATED BUT NOT ACCEPTED"... why?

what I'm doing bad?... why I can't get a confirmed block from my stacked coins?

Thanks in advance....

wich version of the wallet do you have pal?

v 1.8.0.0

And I have deleted all blocks and peers files and chainstate in order to download the updated files... I'm with this situation from more than a week and I don't know what to do... please... help...

Thanks



Please try this and let us know how it goes. Remember wallet.dat is your mintcoins, so make sure it's safe: http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/22vihb/updated_to_wallet_18_now_stuck_on_block_227004/

Yes... I've done this but I will try another time in order to make sure...

I just threw entire folders in the trash when I did it, minus wallet.dat of course.

I've done it... for fourth time and I'm downloading now the blocks... but I think this time will be as other times... I don't know what is happening but I'm pretty sure that this is not the problem... anyway... I'm trying your solution in order to discard things...
Did you run "checkwallet" in debug window? If it reports any missing/extra coins, you can run "repairwallet" there.

Redownloading the blockchain doesn't always sync wallet's cached information with the downloaded blockchain, your wallet might think it has some funds which it doesn't, and then generate stakes based on them.

Once you've completed the blockchain download, go into the "Debug Console" and type repairwallet then hit enter...if this doesn't make a difference then go to the debug console again and type salvagewallet.

One question....your coins, did you acquire them all at the same time, or was it small amounts that you deposited over time?

I got my coins in amounts of 1000 to 3000 coins at the first days of coin mining....

I recently spent a lot of time in the Clean Water Coin IRC chat room while testing their wallet for fixes. It sounds like you could have one of several possible problems.



This helped me tremendously with issues I was having with the wallet. It was a temporary fix to bypass issues with bad code.

BACK UP WALLET.DAT

We are going to be re-naming your Mintcoin -qt.exe file

1. Close your wallet if it is open.
2.. Go to your MINTCOIN wallet folder and right click on "Mintcoin -qt.exe", and change it to "Mintcoin -qt -salvagewallet -repairwallet -connect=0.exe"
3. Start Wallet and see if it helps.

If not:

1. Your conf. file needs to be updated to all known GOOD nodes. If it has nodes (IP addresses) that are the wrong block height, your wallet will not be able to synch right. One thing I also noticed is that a lot of people aren't keeping their .conf file in the %appdata%\Mintcoin folder, and are instead keeping it in the wallet folder. Move it over to the %appdata%\Mintcoin folder if this is the case.

These are my current .conf file settings, and my wallet just minted on time successfully yesterday, so they are working just fine. You can open your .conf file and see if your values are different. If they are, try pasting mine in and restarting wallet.

Either way please report back, we need to get this thing figured out. I actually don't have any coins set to mint for about 8 days, so I won't know for sure until then, but if you go back a few pages or look on Reddit their are plenty of people minting successfully.


For this reason I'm asking here... because something is wrong in my wallet and I don't know what is... anyway... i'm downloading new blocks... it will take me sometime so... I think I will prepare some pop-corn in order to wait as comfortable as I can...

How many coins do you have in your wallet?  Dont need an exact number, but it would help people.

ie - having 1500 coins total, minting on that total is going to have a lot lower "luck" then someone with 15 million.

Another question - have you limited the number of connections eiher intentionally or unintentionally via a setting in your router?  Being able to get your POS block out to the network faster (via more connections to other wallets), will make your chances of it being accepted to the blockchain that much higher.

I'm sure others will have something to add - but at the end of the day, do not worry about it to much.  If it isn't accepted today, then when it tries again tomorrow because your coinage is still high enough to mint, your just going to end up with another days worth of interest.  I'd understand if these coins were worth a little something to the end of not being able to buy something you want, but the chances of you trying to buy something with these thigns at the moment is probably extremely small.

Dont get me wrong - I understand the frustration.  The first time I tried solo mining Litecoin back in the day, I was sure I was being dooped by something or someone because I didn't get a block in three days of mining except some rejected blocks which paid nothing obviously.  Then the next day I minted 4 blocks in one day.  If only I had known how much they would be worth one day.  Unfortunately I sold at $3 and change because none of thought they would be going much higher anytime soon.  IT did pay for my laptop though!

Thank you for your answer...

As Jack the ripper said... please... I'll go by parts...

I have more or less 400000 coins in my wallet and I have mined a block every 10 minutes more or less the problem is all blocks are unconfirmed and I don't know why...

I have the latest wallet and I have downloaded the latest blocks and I still get unconfirmed blocks... hundreds and hundreds of unconfirmed blocks... it is frustrat... I know it is difficult to mine but PoS should be a little easy than a standard mine, as I understand...

I will check the number of connections as you mentioned but I think my problem will be other thing... anyway... thank you for you idea and I will try it as soon a send this reply...

Thanks and I'm open to other ideas...
