I downloaded the latest wallet release and needed to re-sync the wallet.  Seems to be stuck at 670 block height, anyone else experiencing this, and how did you resolve it?

I have deleted the appadata\Roaming\Zcoin folder multiple times to try and get beyond block 670

Running windows 10 pro 64-bit with release v0.2.0 qt wallet for windows

The way to get past block 670 is to run it with in cmd with zcoin-qt.exe -reindex

There's a bad Zerocoin transaction in that block that's causing the connections to drop but the reindex lets you push past that.

Once that is done, if it hangs again, just close the zcoin-qt and open it up again (but don't reindex) and it should progress. The situation should get better as more nodes update to the new version.

We're looking into the issue once the fork is done.

Brilliant!  Cruising along now, thanks so much!  Cool

@djm34 has released his Windows binary builds for his miners both for Nvidia (ccminer) and AMD (sgminer)

Nvidia miners: https://github.com/djm34/ccminer-msvc2015/releases/
AMD miners: https://github.com/djm34/sgminer-msvc2015/releases

djm34 was engaged by us to do this so his binaries should be clean.

@Tourgasm, a community member has also has released 64 bit version for the Windows

https://github.com/Tourgasm/xzc-ccminer/releases/tag/1.8.4x64

For cpuminer, @aizensou our dev has released this but no binaries:
https://github.com/zcoinofficial/cpuminer-xzc




Why not launch x64 miner being mostly running at x64 amd

Boah it rescans all time the blocks.
Something was wrong when you made the copy CjMapope.

2TB this stupid client wear my SSD now..dev please really fix this odd behavior of this client this is killing drives in short time.

sorry haha, theres another reason to not download shit from others i guess :/ :/  (only official sources)

Could you please so kind to do it once again this way:

Do the snapshot as follows:
Close the client
copy blocks and chaindata, database and peers.dat that would be a fix.
I had this similar behavior on bitcoin..but not that much of wear level to an drive this is really insane.

Thanks

kk i highlighted those 4 and turned them into a zip, uploading now eta 20 mins

here you go, hope that works Smiley   https://mega.nz/#!a4ohlTYI!lXV7tZqmJqqAKLM2xPmAeDAQADIcSUwM8ZcnOm9yBNM

Currently bootstraps don't work that's why we haven't released any but we're looking into it right after this fork. Also a side note, rescanning blocks doesn't wear out SSDs, write cycles do. You don't really need to keep on redownloading the blockchain.

no block source available my wallet says. MAc computer.

Help me please, i won't deposit my XZC to my mac wallet until i know what is that "no block source available" thing.

That just means that you aren't connected to any nodes. Are you behind a firewall?

What is the inflation model of ZCoin?

There are currently circa 1 million coins. How many will there be in 12 months?

Thanks

Same as Bitcoin
50, 25, 12.5 etc etc etc every 4 years or so.

Apparently not worth it for any AMD type of GPUs with the current miner.

Basically a CPU is faster than most of the AMD GPUs.

RX 470 gets like 200-250KH/s which is same as an i5 CPU.

While an old GTX 960 gets 500KH/s


your i5 gets 200 kh/s? in the terminal on mine it reads 10-11 H/s

Should be much more if you are bench-marking the new cpuminer for the 20500 fork

If you are talking the old miner, then those numbers sound about right
where is the new miner?

HAve also to create new wallet the old one got destroyed by the client.. which crappy codebase the dev took to make this built? Seriously these are old bitcoin-core issues.

Thanks for the upload but the wallet seems to have serious issue with this:
After this debug entry this wallet dies..crap crap crap..dev failed!

Let me sum it up: FAILED shit sorry but I can't find nicer words for this crap seriously.

Total written and totaled 3.5TB by zcoin-qt wallet..thanks for wear level my drive ...that sucks

Pointless to release GPU algorithm when the miner isnt optimized at all. Will only lead to instamining by those who do have access to an optimized miner, just like Zcash.
