Topic: ★[ANN] [NAV] NAV COIN - Community Fund Live!!! - page 396. (Read 2085654 times)

Hi Everyone. We are making good progress on our end. We are currently testing the anonymous transactions using the new block chain and everything is looking good so far!

When we complete this step, we will be able to supply the new code base to Bittrex and initiate the coin swap. I would expect that we can begin the coin swap this week coming as previously stated.

We are also in the process of distributing articles about Nav and the coin swap to various crypto news outlets to make sure we give everyone the best chance of hearing about the swap and swapping their coins as well as pushing the public profile of Nav!

Bittrex have supplied us further information about how the swap will take place. It is very simple from your perspective.

All you need to do is to send your Nav to Bittrex before the end date of the swap.

At the end date all Nav wallets will be put into maintenance mode, meaning there will be no trading, depositing or withdrawing. We will then send Bittrex the balance of new Nav coin equal to the amount which everyone has deposited. They will decommission your old Nav addresses and link your current balance to the new block chain with all the new coins we have loaded ready for withdrawal. When the Nav wallet comes out of maintenance mode you are then free to resume trading or withdraw your coins to the new wallet.

We will make the new wallet available to the public before the end of the coin swap date so that everyone is prepared to withdraw their coins.

Bittrex have performed many of these coin swaps in the past and have had no previous issues. They are a very reliable exchange which has never had any problems with hacks or other suspicious behaviour from its operators. We trust that Bittrex will perform this swap in a swift, reliable and professional manner.

We strongly recommend that everyone use Bittrex as the swap mechanism. Manual swaps after the end of the Bittrex coin swap are possible but it does take us a reasonable amount of effort per swap and I'm sure you would rather we are busy working on new Nav features like the mobile wallet rather than being flooded with coin swaps to perform.

I will post again soon when we have sent the source code to Bittrex and agreed on a date for the coin swap to occur.

I am very excited to get this under way, the new wallet is awesome!

Regards,
Craig.

Nav wallet v3.0.0 working great on Mac OSX under wine!

Thanks Juguelio!

Pretty handy as I had an old Macbook pro sitting in the corner and if you follow Juguelio's instructions its very simple to do (Even I did it!) The block chain took a while even though I copied the one from my pc, but its running and seems to be staking too!

Probably doesn't matter that much but the Macbook pro I'm using is a 2006 (yes 2006) 3gb ram, ssd intel core duo 2 2.33ghz and the highest os it will take is LION (10.7.5) as that was still 32 bit. Im guessing it works on newer macs too as there is a wine 64bit emulator too.

Happy days  

Is it nearly swap time? 

Wine is a good option for the current wallet. We do plan on releasing a native OSX client for the new wallet as soon as possible!

Thanks so much for this!

Im trying it tonight 

I downloaded an emulator of Windows (I think it's XP) called Wine.
The main folders of Wine are installed under: Users/(your user name)/ Wine Files

What I did is download windows wallet and blockchain and then move the NavajoCoin Wallet into:

Users/(your user name)/ Wine Files/ drive_c/users (your user name)/ Desktop.

After doing this is time to get into the Wine app
Double click in the app and you will see a little icon of a wine glass on the top right of your OSX screen (where the wifi symbol, time, bluetooth icons are)
Click in the Wine glass and go to File Manager...
That will open the windows explorer. Locate the drive C:/ and go to the Desktop on where you placed the Navajo folder.

From there just double click in the navajocoin-qt.exe
It will crash the wallet but create the navcoin (or navajocoin) folder under:

Users/(your user name)/ Wine Files/ drive_c/users (your user name)/ Application Data


Go back into your OSX finder and locate this folder...
In this Navcoin (or navajocoin) folder is where you want to place the wallet.dat file and the whole blockchain

Remember!!! always back up your wallet.dat file!!!! ALWAYS!

I wrote that a while ago, but the process is the same...You can download the 1 click installer...And the blockchain as well...

Good luck!

I have it working on Osx with wine. Just look at my previous posts, sorry I would link to them but I'm at work with mobile phone. Cheers!

Did someone say they got the NAV wallet working on a mac with wine?

I have tried but i just can't get it to work.

Any idiot proof instructions?

GO NAV!

Yes new changes with NAV are very good, and their dev is very good person he help some coins i also have so i`m sticking with nav

Welcome back! Thank You, it's always great to see people staying with us or returning

Well, now it wont matter any more as I said (and hope)

Well it would be nice if the devs could just Update the zipped blockchain on the site every week or so it just takes a few minutes if u script it even less.
If bandwith is a problem maybe its possible to split the bootstrap into smaller pieces and u would upload a new week / month at a time.

If your pc is burning 750 watts just on Nav wallet you got some serious malware spyware infestations m8
I will use a lot less watts then that , that having been said I'm also looking forward to a working version for the PI or other Mini pc's.
But it wont be to much longer.(I hope:)

The current wallet is indeed quite a hog. I found it best after it syncs (which could take almost a day even if you download the chain) to close it and take a full zip backup of the entire %appdata% folder (in windows) every week.
Then if it ever breaks just delete everything and restore the backup so I will be at most one week behind. And there is a good chance it will break if the computer hangs or there is a power cut while its open.

Thankfully though its mostly a moot point now, with the new wallet coming. Can't be soon enough.

----website backup begin----
Ok fellas.  User @Strugg was good enough to get back to me with regards to the dedicated NavajoCoin forum and we pretty much seem to be in agreement on letting it go expire for now given the negligible amount of traffic it's pretty much had since it's creation.  He was also kind enough to offer to cover any and all associated costs with bringing it back online at a later date should enough users make sufficient noise to bring it back online.  So this is my official heads up that the forum will be going offline 5 days from now (apr. 23rd).

It's been quite the learning experience setting it up and I'm tickled pink that the dev's now seem to be making some pretty serious progress on recent BIP implementations, etc. and really looking forward to seeing what else comes down the pipe for this coin.

Keep up the good work fellas.

----website backup end----

Yes I know, this can be a pain in the ass sometimes. The staking unit will be mostly automatic.

Best would be you download the blockchain data from our website. Unzip this inside the appdata working folder Navcoin. After this, you should come forward.

anybody could provide some help how to sync from scratch?, I downloaded NAV wallet and delete everything but wallet.dat with .conf provided but chain seems stuck with 589k blocks left. From there blocks left just increasing... thanks in advance community

I use to hold NAV in the past, sold all year ago, now im thinking to reinvest again with NAV, good to see the new changes.

Ill keep watching this one closely.

Best of Luck to the team.
