Has anyone tried the new mac wallet yet? 

I have managed to successfully synchronise, transfer my SYNC to it and so far no problems.  It is using ~0.1% CPU on my 2013 IMAC (CORE I7) now. During synchronisation it was between 1-3% usage (one would expect it to be higher then). 

I'll report back after I've run it for a while and it starts staking. 

Please add on your experiences especially if they are on different types/ages of Macs as it should make it easier to narrow down any problems.

Guys there is a new build of the wallet (mac) for testing/solving people's issues.  Please be aware that this is a test build so install at your own risk until it is confirmed to work OK.

I like the idea of adding the version number and date when posting updates to the OP. It would surely save a lot of confusion.

Agreed. I do the with Fireocin because it saves the headache of people asking. Well at least the ones that pay attention. I always check the OP if I am gone for  a few days in case I miss something in the thread.

I have a small suggestion for the op post. There are people (not me) who don't read the thread every day, and it's impossible to tell when the mandatory wallet update came out or even if it is a different version than they have installed. Instead of just saying "mandatory update" and providing a wallet link, it should also display the wallet version and release date.

The only reason I think whale has bad connotation is because people are jealous. Most people wish they were a whale in crypto land.

Obviously:) but most people also like to believe that they are good and morally upright (Superman rather than Lex Luther). A more neutral name still looks better and plays better.  I think something along the lines of "High Roller" sounds better.  Whale makes me think of people like Woolong (you might want his money but you don't want to be like him or behave like him, even if you would in reality be the same).

no, i mean, wasn't there a profit program if you have < 1 SYNC you get bla bla, if you have >1 Sync you get bla bla, if you have more than 3 Sync you get Miles and stuff.

something about getting a part of the profit obtained from selling the assets of the sync fund?



I think you need 7 SYNC staking for that.   - The whale program ? (should probably change the name - whale has bad connotations in crypto- even "SYNC Superstar or High Roller" sounds better).

A bigger piece of the pie like with any coin.  A potential for it to grow immensely in value.  I think that is enough for most people:)

Dumpwallet as a backup, or is it just to be used in case of a corrupted wallet?

I'd do both. Dumpwallet makes a human readable version of wallet.dat, so you could backup your wallet on paper if you so desired.

On my mac new mandatory update 1.0.3 works fine. If you note that 1.0.3 does not synchronize you are probably still on wrong fork due to a bad "blk0001.dat" file

1) close 1.0.3
2) make a backup of the file ~/Library/Application Support/Sync/wallet.dat
3) delete everything from   ~/Library/Application Support/Sync/   except "wallet.dat" and "Sync.conf" (if Sync.conf is not present, create it)
4) check that "Sync.conf" contains only these official nodes:
addnode=107.170.51.29
addnode=107.170.206.182
addnode=192.241.244.198
5) download bootstrap.dat from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80376827/bootstrap.dat  and place it inside  ~/Library/Application Support/Sync/
6) open 1.0.3 and wait that bootstrap loads (be patient: it took on my mac at least 30 minutes)
7) as soon as bootstrap import ends, your wallet will synchronize fine

done all this yesterday and again this morning. Works exactly as you described, but the result is still negative. Two of Mined are 'Generated but not accepted Mined'.
v1.0.2 can see Mined and Received coins above them. If the last Received coins would be the wrong fork that would be understandable. But the Mined are credited over 12hrs earlier.

Is there way to fix 'blk0001.dat'? It would be a pity to give up now.
Let's imagine, tomorrow Sync is $10k and next wallet update will conflict couple of Syncs; that will bother a lot! Why Sync wallet is a puzzle? I have no assurance in it now. Take the Dogecoin walet, no puzzles and updates are easy peasy.

How many times must it be said? STOP USING 1.0.2!!!! It is the WRONG FORK!!! That means it is a fantasy world that has no basis in reality. Anything you think you earned there AFTER block 86400 DOES NOT COUNT. Stay on the right chain.

I'm seeing some confusion here. If I read this correctly, he was using 1.02 as a reference, showing a different balance before upgrading.

Still, It is likely the blocks were produced after the fork, so first off VERYIFY that. If it staked after the update on the wrong chain, well, you wasted some electricity. Not a huge deal, but I understand the annoyance.

However, if you are certain that you have transactions not confirming after the update that are BEFORE block 86400, you have some things to do.

First off, forget blk0001.dat. It's just a piece of the blockchain. It don't matter to recovering your coins. There is one file that you should be concerned with, and another you need. The first is wallet.dat THAT is the one that contains your private keys, and therefore access to every transaction you've made on the blockchain. The other is the configuration file. Get rid of everything else in your data directory and resync.

If that still don't work, use the dumpwallet command to export your wallet to a text file. Reimport it into a new wallet, and all will be well.

and get rid of all that stuff called 1.02
