great news, so do we need to redownload wallet and delete blockchain to resync?

Are you on windows? If you can't wait, heres the new unstable (beta) wallet with new checkpoints.
As with the previous beta versions if you crash the wallet you will need to delete the C:/programdata/boost_interprocess folder before starting the wallet again).

Just redownload the wallet to be safe. I chose a new checkpoint.
If you want to be super safe you can delete everything but the wallet/.conf (blockchain is so small it takes 20s to download anyway).

I've included a file DeleteBlockchain.bat which will automatically delete the blockchain files for you without harming your wallet.
Just double click it before opening the new wallet and you are good to go.

You can right click the .bat file and select edit to see what it contains:

Code:

C:
del /F /Q %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\PreminePlus\database\
del /F /Q %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\PreminePlus\.lock
del /F /Q %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\PreminePlus\blk0001.dat
del /F /Q %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\PreminePlus\blkindex.dat
del /F /Q %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\PreminePlus\db.log
del /F /Q %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\PreminePlus\debug.log
del /F /Q %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\PreminePlus\peers.dat
pause

Will have those stable wallets for the rest of you guys soon.

Don't forget to delete your blockchain or run the .bat file I've included.
You won't see your quiz rewards until you've updated.
If you really want them for whatever reason, to stake or whatever then use the beta wallet for now.
I'm going to be making an announcement about the changes soon and I'll be including the stable wallet then.

The results of the quiz are in!

Check the Quiz Thread to see the answers.
Prize amounts are being sent out now

I just double checked my answers against your published answers and it looks like you made a mistake Grin

I've actually got 8 correct answers out 10 (not 6 as you told me in an earlier post) I was a little surprised when you said I'd scored 6 because I did use Google Roll Eyes

Looking forward to my few extra coins! Grin

As I mentioned (twice) there was an error in my calculation formula (two actually).

found an issue with the quiz score calculator formula in excel, fixing it now.

If you check the excel doc you will see your correct score as well as the note that it has been sent out, along with everyone elses.
You were awarded 24 PMP (for your 8/10 answers) over an hour ago.

They look just fine here (Fedora). Black on grey, both when the mouse is over and not.
I'm using the latest from git, but it was fine before as well.

then it must have to do with some theme issue, but then i don't see it with any other qt app...
as i've already said, not a big deal anyway...

woot!

fixed it Grin

Pushed a commit to the github. Kiss

it wasn't really a problem on your guys end, it was the damn hardcoded DNS seed node. There was a mismatch on the hardened checkpoint.

Amateur mistake on my part but damnit linux, am I just supposed to remember where I extract all my damn files? Undecided

if you are brave you can just update the checkpoint yourself:

Code:

    static MapCheckpoints mapCheckpoints =
        boost::assign::map_list_of
        ( 0, hashGenesisBlockOfficial )
        ( 400, uint256("0x0000042c97fdf1e3034696a638e2eddbc6c5532cdf507e48a1c8e0d58dad6827"))
 		;

i can confirm it synced without problems this time...
btw, at least under linux the top menu items are black over black, thus they're visible only on mouse hover...

hmm, I've never actually used the linux-qt.
You are referring to the File | Settings | Help menu?
It must be due to some parenting issue. It works fine in windows/mac.
I'll force the bg colors of that element, that should fix it for you guys.

I was about to post this same thing. I've got the new wallet, and it's not downloading anything (I've removed the blockchain and all (except the wallet, thanks for the warning TMX)).

One thing that might or might not be relevant: the wallet prints thing:

Object::connect: No such slot BitcoinGUI::lockWallet()

The wallet does print 4 active connections. but the current number of blocks stays at 0.

I guess it could be it's connected to older wallets ?

Yes, that lock button isn't linked to anything because its supposed to be a toggle button (a single button, not two). I just got busy with so many other things I didn't finish that (thanks for reminding me!). I'll get around to that in the near future but I've got many more important things to do first.

Yes you may have noticed that the wallet won't sync passed a certain point (or at all).
I did mention that was unstable after all.
This is a checkpoint issue.
Funny thing is, if you have the blockchain already, then it will sync past that point just fine. If you don't it will say that the blocks don't match up. Simplest fix is just to remove the checkpoint but I would like to leave it in there for security purposes, I am working on a solution.
Also just to reiterate, no one loses any coins or wallet address. You keep your wallet.dat, all your addresses/private keys are the same.

Anyway, give me some time people. I am hard at work on this.
It's not like you were doing anything with the wallet anyway Kiss

Sorry guys, quiz rewards will have to wait, I'm up to my eyeballs right now.
Pushed a new wallet version to github. Please do not use the new wallet without deleting your old blockchain (preferably deleting the entire roaming folder). Make sure to backup your wallet first.

I'll be posting the new compiled stable wallets tomorrow.

If you are compiling your own or using linux, again, deleting your blockchain before running the daemon is imperative.

I'll be posting an announcement about the major changes as soon as I have a moment to gather my thoughts.

after updating and rebuilding the wallet code, it never syncs till the end (i've removed everything but wallet file twice), anybody else?

I see one very scary issue:

IF you update the wallet now... people get a new wallet.... lose their old wallet.dat file ( because it is still EMPTY pre-giveaway ) We then give away coins to 800+ people who have already listed their PMP addy on the list...... that is a lot of lost coins....

We really really need to get the new version out NOW so people have time to understand what's going on... Or not release a new version until after round one...

Seems to me.... anyway....

On another note: There are only 304837 PMC ( PremineCoin ) left in the world...

It's very important to backup wallet.dat. This should be written and marked in red when it comes to the update. Or do i get something wrong here?

edit: I compiled the new source and started the daemon but it seems it's not downloading any blocks yet. Any new nodes needed?
