OK, just swapped the link above from a zip to bootstrap.dat http://badgercoin.info/bootstrap.dat

Can you post instructions for how to use the bootstrap and what it does. Also incorporate it into how to sync the latest wallet.

While we update the wallet, for those stuck syncing, please backup wallet.dat, delete everything but wallet.dat and your config from the %appdata% folder and then try downloading http://badgercoin.info/bootstrap.dat and putting it in your %appdata% folder, this should get you on the correct chain.

It didn't help. Wallet has downloaded 42773 blocks and stuck.

Have you restarted the wallet after it gets stuck, I've tested on 4 different pcs, the bootstrap worked on all.

Yes, I did. It was stuck for about a half a day. Then during couple of days it was slowly downloading the blockchain. Never saw such weird behavior before. In the end it was synced but I've lost more 2000 coins. I replaced the wallet with backed up one - same picture. 3366 coins instead of 5600. Sorry, I'm tired of this coin...

So are you saying that the top 4 badgercoin wallets are yours? Wink

Once we get everyone wallets to sync and stake properly again, let's see if we can implement a trustless, decentralized anon system for badgercoin. All the top coins have anonymity as their primary feature. Just look at XMR, Dark, and BBR; even CRYPT and AC only went up due to claimed anonymity. The only thing the crypto world cares about is trustless p2p based anonymity. Make it happen correctly and all of the Badgercoin devs will never need to work again and will be living on resort beach frontage.

No, I'm saying I tested it on 2 different linux servers, a pc and a laptop, all using a fresh dir so it had to sync from scratch.

We have some new plan? I haven't heard some news.
Thanks dev.

We're already getting ready to roll out a update for the few minor bugs like this that have cropped up.

We already knew about the min proto, that doesn't help with users on correct proto on wrong chain, that is why the delay.

My wallet doesn't sync, probably going to the wrong fork every time I try to synchronize it (deleting everything in .badgercoin etc). I've tried adding the nodes in the first post as well, might as well try adding them with connect to force them... but the question is: do we have any bootstrap somewhere?
Thanks!

Make sure to delete peers.dat too, we are looking into a way of blocking users stil on the old wallet causing this issue.

No bootstrap yet, will look into creating one.

To block old users, update the version.h file

static const int PROTOCOL_VERSION

and

static const int MIN_PROTO_VERSION -<<< this is how you block old clients

atcsecure,Could you help my BDG development team? we need you!!!

I actually had to open/close the client a couple of times with only the 4 main nodes (connect=node in the conf file) and it finally made it to the end. Not sure why I had to close/reopen several times, probably running out of some resource of some kind at some point.

I've checked the debug.log, and saw that at each failure, I get the following type of errors at a certain point where the sync stops (and all subsequent blocks are marked the same with a failure until I restart the client, where it starts working again):
ERROR: CheckProofOfStake(): INFO: read txPrev failed
WARNING: ProcessBlock(): check proof-of-stake failed for block

the first time it failed, it also kept flooding the debug log with:
ERROR: mempool transaction missing input

Hope this helps you figure out what is going on. Maybe you should try building a client from scratch and try to sync it on your node and see if it syncs until the end in one pass.
I'm running it on Ubuntu 14.04. I started wondering if by any chance the wallet was starting POS mining on the blocks even though it's not at the end of the blockchain yet and creating invalid forks. I'm saying that because while it's syncing the blockchain, the Stake suddenly gets to some non zero number (or does it represent the stake when I was mining POS at the time for these blocks?).

There are also discrepancies between different information at different levels:

-my wallet is currently staking and showing incoming transactions as notifications, but it doesn't show any new transaction in the overview or transaction panels in the UI (and the last transactions I see are from June 17th, we're on the 20th),
-in the block explorer, I do see transactions for today,
-the wallet explorer reports that my balance should be 2044.081752 BDG, but my wallet says 947.670365 BDG. The discrepancy here comes from the fact that the earnt coins from staking differs: I believe that the block explorer takes the wrong amount as gained (it is actually the amount that was exchanged in the transactions from the block, not the miner fee) which is why the total is very different,
-I didn't have time to analyse, but so far I couldn't really match the POS "Mined" transactions from the wallet and the equivalent transactions in the block explorer (when I look at the individual transactions in the block explorer, the miner fees seem more correct, but they don't match up with what is seen in the wallet).

One other freaky things is that during the sync, my balance remained at 0 from the start to the end (and finally got fixed when it reached the end of the blockchain), although I had badgers quite early on. Wink

There is still some work to be done here...

I've deleted everything in the .badgercoin dir except for wallet.dat and my Badgercoin.conf. I've put addnode and connect to the 4 nodes in the first page. When I launch the wallet, I do get "4 active connections to the network" but the sync stops at block 40320 and doesn't go further (now for an hour or so). I'm on the latest wallet compiled from github source.

I have the same problem. I can't compile wallet by myself. Please fix your Windows wallet to connect to right chain instead of switching between wrong and right ones.

Ok thanks! (and yes I do delete peers.dat, I simply guess that the closest nodes to me are mostly on the wrong chain...)

Maybe try connect=node1.badgercoin.info

That will tell it to explicitly connect to our main node
