wow...

I just successfully refreshed and am staking!!!

Nice work guys!

mh...the block explorer seem stuck @ 10325.

wasnt able to find who did it (probably because i'm blind)....but can you fix it?

I don't KNOW WHY but my coins are stuck staking....  lol

Great!  It worked!  I'm on block 10332.  Unfortunately, the 50 test coins I sent from bittrex didn't show up.  Are we on a different fork?

If there are different forks, is it possible to find the node/nodes bittrex is using?

If we are on the right fork, is it possible to create a bootstrap.dat?  The one mentioned earlier didn't work for me.

Thanks for your help.  If we can get this chain moving, I'll send you a couple hundred TRI from bittrex.

Also, most people probably know how to do this, but if not, here's the complete idiot's guide for Windows users.

You should be starting from block 0.

1. Name the folder you have all the triangles files in triangles
2. Drag the triangles folder to your C: drive
3. Copy the following line:
C:\triangles\triangles-qt.exe -connect=lkta5xj5nlnxxmrt.onion
5. hold windows key and press r
4. type cmd
5. hit enter
6. Right click anywhere in the command prompt
7. Press p
8. Press Enter
9. Wait until you get to block 9000 and 5 minutes after
10. Close the triangles-qt.exe program
11. Go back to the command prompt and do steps 6-8
12. Wait until you get to block 9500 and 5 minutes after
13. Close the triangles-qt.exe program
14. Go back to the command prompt and do steps 6-8
15. Wait until you get to block 10000 and 5 minutes after
16. Close the triangles-qt.exe program
17. Go back to the command prompt and do steps 6-8
18. Should be synced up now
19. Close triangles-qt.exe program one more time and open it from the GUI as you would normally (double-click)

simply restart the wallet and wait a few mins in between, should work as well. repeat until u have all blocks.
 if u try the "connect" method: if possible, choose a client with 10330.

what repeatedly worked for me if i try to resync the blockchain completely:

delete blockchain files, connect, sync to ~ 9000, restart, sync to ~ 9500, next time ~ 10000, then 10330.


edit: you know that the "current number of bocks" are important, not the estimated total?

edit2: if it doesnt work, delete the blk* files from %appdata%\triangles (windows) and start over with syncing

edit3: hint: try a full resync with: triangles-qt.exe -connect=lkta5xj5nlnxxmrt.onion. i get stuck @ 9000, 9500, 10000 each time, but it also continues to sync after restart each time. so somewhat reliable.

I tried the connecting to one node thing, but I still can't get past 9500.

edit: Also, should I be trying with peers who are at 10325 or 10330?

edit2: up to 10012

Less talking, more staking! Go go go! :p

actually he has some inline comments in his code. and its clean enough (for my low standards - i'm far worse) to understand imo.

3angle, are u still in this? yes or no? also you could at least add the wallet dl links to the op! thank you!

depending on that answer we can talk new dev possibilities.


 

Actually this is the reason I am out, there is nobody updating sources. I am working as a programmer since many years. I do programm in different languages and every prog will agree, that there is nothing more terrible than to change/update/edit someone's code, I reject almost every offer of editing a code, if I do it, I write a new one. Even if the author is genius, for some other dev there are no inline comments, documentation ... , which makes the source useless until it's documented or rewritten. I do not want to talk to much about how hard/bad it is to edit cryptographic undocumented sources. For most of these programms it's better to start over again and create readable and updatedable code which is fully documented. Normally this can only happen if the dev is very experienced or progs work in a team following best practices.

As long as the source code is not updated, there will be always a problem and nobody will trust it's money into this code. It's not enough to compile the wallet for different OS's if the source code is not beeing updated. As far as I can read, there is no real prog supporting this coin, at least not a prog who would like to edit the source code. I thought about overtaking, but what for? So many shitydevs around, even if there code is work of a genius, the way how they use this talent is just dumb and they should burn together with their shitty coins. And yes with this I mean you too 3angle!

All my local coins are locked in "Stake:" so I'll wait to send when they're available... may be a little bit

please use a rather large transaction fee (.1 TRI or sth) so i get them asap (i figure trex might take a while/some blocks) and can start staking to further stabilize the network.  
and thank you!

ps: yes, the win wallet is mine. if we get some updated sources - maybe without the "sync-halt-bug",   dev  - i would compile it again.

now that i have the environment to do it.

I was able to gather a few TRI's on the low during the uncertainty... so once the blocks are flowing I have 100 each for Dev and the wallet makers. That may not seem like many to the casual bystander but there are only 49492.36794500 TRI in existence.

3 angle = dev
mammix2 created the linux wallet?
wurstgelee created the windows wallet?

I need your tri addys.

edit: How to force the wallet to sync:



if your wallet doesnt sync to block 103xx, do the following:

• go to the debug console: help->debug window, tab console
• enter 'getpeerinfo' and press enter, pick a peer with startingheight >= 10325 and a tor address -  not a localhost (127.0.0.1) adress! copy his address to clipboard. pick a peer
• quit the wallet. start the wallet it via commandline: 'triangles-qt.exe -connect=' , replace addr with the tor address in your clipboard
• wait until it connects and wait another ~2-3 mins. if nothing happens, repeat with another peer.
• repeat until synced >=block10325. wait until fully synced.

i repeated a full sync attempt a few times and usually got stuck @ blocks ~9000, ~9500 and ~10000.


reason is a  bug in the wallet sourcecode (implemented fix a few commits ago doesnt work somehow).

  Yes, 10330, check. 6 active connections.

I won't go anywhere. It took me all morning of start stop starting to get it to synch.

I sent 100 from trex 30 mins ago and still 0 confirms. Also those 8/1 PoS blocks I hit are not progressing yet either. I have a bunch still on trex but I'm going to leave them until we know it's moving.

Don't move!

Block 10330 and sync here!

One thing that bothers me: sent some TRI from bittrex to my wallet @ block 10326ö. wallet still says 0/4 confirmations. why that?

edit: oh, probably due to priority, right? so i have to wait...

YEAH! thanks a lot @ mammax2!


PLEASE UPDATE YOUR WALLETS!


WINDOWS wallet, v 3.3.4.4 "illuminatus":

https://mega.co.nz/#!9J9DFZYa!YnJ8FShl774_z7YI4kFEdt6GeyPFz1jkNh1VWvnRXR8


MAC wallet, v 3.3.4.4 "illuminatus":

https://mega.co.nz/#!sdAkjAhJ!J6wbStpOSxq3PToEZD08hv0278eMTVqrQyIhyqFYsGk


@3angle: would u add these to the OP? in case they arent "shit versions"? they shouldnt be, they are builds of your latest "non-shit" sourcecode.

edit: 10 connections. i see a fckn green bar. haven't seen that in a while in the TRI wallet.  

edit 2: if the wallet doesnt sync up to 10326 blocks: restart it whenever blockchain sync gets stuck (for me @ block 9000, 9500, 10000) - the "initialblockchaindownloadfix" doesnt work. after a bunch of restarts you should have the complete blockchain.

Recently I was helped out by someone in the Triangle community...
So here is my help back to you all, because...  'You know why' 

Compiled 3.3.4.4 wallet for OSX, tested and working on OSX 10.8 and 10.9
https://mega.co.nz/#!sdAkjAhJ!J6wbStpOSxq3PToEZD08hv0278eMTVqrQyIhyqFYsGk
 
Let me know if you get any problems.
Enjoy

in case you managed to compile a mac wallet - upload and publish it please.

lets get the apple fanbois involved.

Probably one client staking so far - so very slow. Might take a while.

How many confirms does TRI need? Tired and too lazy to look myself.

And as I write this, I have an incoming transaction from bittrex.

Edit: Oh....only 4 confirms needed..... lets hope for another 4 blocks then.
