Thanks
So long as its not broken, thats mostly what I was concerned about.  If its ok and stable to leave like this then thats fine, I made sure to note down your instructions.  But yea I have not touched this for 18 months and I lost track of it, it would have been running the whole time since then but the machine did not really run especially well and I forgot about keeping it up

I will set this up again to stake on a machine,  curious thing I see now is it has a run of staking but then goes quiet.  I presume thats normal to occur.   First batch of stakes were 35 size mined every minute or so for hours.   Then last set was 0.2 size again almost sequentially staking 9000 coins or whatever but its stopped dead for 8 hours now.   So I guess thats normal not anything I need to alter.   Says Network connections: 11
Whats the maximum memory required in operation, I noticed half a gig at one point

We are not yet at the 2.1m block count but seems pretty close by, will it take to end of March I think closer


You are welcome. Smiley

It is normal your wallet will pause after staking for awhile because everytime you stake a new block, your weight will drop.

To watch how your weight drops amidst staking, go to console and run:

Code:
getmininginfo

This will show your weight, network stake weight and also the expected time for next reward.

Memory required for EnergyCoin Core may vary for different machines. For me, I just can't run it with only half a gig on my linux.

As per the latest network situation, it is expected that we will bit the block 2.1m by next week.

The salvage process only helps if you couldn't load your wallet.dat. Running the salvage process again won't give you different result if you already can load the wallet.dat successfully.

Blockchain explorer shows your balance of one particular address at current block height. It cannot show full balance of a wallet.dat if it holds multiple addresses (including change addresses) with non-zero balance.

the original dev team made some blockindex changes on v1.2 and your old v1.1.2 blk files should be incompatible with newer clients.

I guess you already knew you can download new blk files from our Bootstrap Server.

When I run the old 2014 client, it means the .blk wont work with the current client.  So Ive used the bootstrap a few times.  
I have found an old broken machine and taken a .dat from it.  When I get that upto speed with the 2016 client it reports 140k coins but thats more then the online blockchain shows for that address.  Does this mean I should run it through the salvage process as detailed above and it'll lose the extra coins.  I guess theres no way I can just keep them Shocked




@Jan, thanks and I'd still love to add a bit more explanations.


@STT,

First of all, congrats you already get your wallet.dat up and running.

The salvage process only helps if you couldn't load your wallet.dat. Running the salvage process again won't give you different result if you already can load the wallet.dat successfully.

Blockchain explorer shows your balance of one particular address at current block height. It cannot show full balance of a wallet.dat if it holds multiple addresses (including change addresses) with non-zero balance.

Now you want to double check how many addresses holding non-zero balance in your wallet.dat.

Go to "Send coins" tab and click "Inputs" (you need to enable Coin Control in Settings->Options->Display first).

Assuming you want a wallet.dat holding only one address with non-zero balance, go to console and run:

Code:
dumpprivkey eXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

where eXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is your desired address.

This should return you something like Zxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, which is your private key.

Then close the program, rename wallet.dat to something else, and then launch the program again. It will give you a new wallet.dat with zero balance.

Go to console again and run:

Code:
importprivkey Zxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You should get the right balance after rescanning, provided that you are on the right chain.

Don't forget to encrypt your new wallet.dat as you may wish.

woodshares, http://www.woodshares.co/#!what-is-ws/c1enr interesting looking initiative, has anyone looked at it yet? just found it in the low volume section of coinmarketcap. interesting alignment with soil and energy although seems low in speculation, there is long term view in their explanations of what it is about.

and this,m similar concept, drawing attention? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annegc-evergreencoin-environmental-green-causes-full-7-pos-foundation-1272091

Maybe some coins are in a change-address?
You can check with coin controll.
If you have old and new blockchain maybe you can use dumpprivkey and import the keys into the new wallet.
@EnergyCoinDev Peter do you have other suggestions for help?

 Not a problem at all, I am glad i could help. The Pi can drive you crazy waiting to sync a full chain, so, if anything I did helped I could not be happier.

Got ROKOS up and running with very few problems. I simply copied my Energycoin folder over to ROKOS and thus had very very small wait time to sync the wallet. I will post pics later.

 For those of you who use ROKOS, I did run into a problem getting it online with WIFI. The problem is in the network configuration file. You have to change the wlan0 manual to DHCP. I do not have the time to post instructions on what I did, but most likely will in about 2 hours.

 All, in all though, the installation was not a big problem.
Thx Harcon,
I was trying to download for 4 days but I had patience to wait more days and stop the wallet @ block 1.55M and copied my PC blockchain to the hidden .EnergyCoin folder. The wallet I had already filled and staked on my labtop.
So my full RPI-node is no up and running!

I go tweet about this and I hope 100 extra RPI nodes before summer!

Since you never self compiled, your old wallet.dat might just get corrupted.

If it shows rescanning and you get a new wallet.dat, that means the salvage process does work.

Now you should wait for rescanning to finish.

After rescanning finishes, you should see the correct balance. If not, then this is not your main wallet. Try another one.
Yea Ive found another dat and Im trying it.   It hangs for a while, just noticed this .exe is 1.1.2.0 which is ancient I guess, appears to be build April 26th 2014.    It appears to be saying empty, I'll try 1.5 when it finishes updating, hopefully I'll find the right combo at some point.   The original machine has some blk files and other stuff but its only wallet.dat I need to copy over I guess




v1.1.2 should be the first beta release built by the original dev team.

From your photo, wallet.bak is a backup from the salvage process. The salvage process tried to repair your wallet and extracted all private keys to a new file, which is now your new wallet.dat.

Yes you only need to copy wallet.dat for the move. From what I can read from the source code, the original dev team made some blockindex changes on v1.2 and your old v1.1.2 blk files should be incompatible with newer clients.

I guess you already knew you can download new blk files from our Bootstrap Server.

Really wish you can recover your coins. Don't give up. Smiley

After some personal issues I'm back there

Special thanks to Jan  Smiley

@dev team

We should consider to bring bitcoinlib to replace openssl lib. checksig validation is now 7x times more effective, for a pi it would be a MAJOR improvement  Shocked

I have no clue if it's hard to do, but it should be worth the efforts

Nice to be part of this project again


Hello sardokan,

Welcome back and thanks for your suggestion. Smiley

While you might not had got your wallet synch for a while, there has already been lots of major improvements since v1.3.

Client v1.4 already had the whole checkblock process, including checksig, optimized. Since then, checksig validation is no longer a bottleneck anymore.

Despite this, we will continue to make improvements that worth our efforts.

I have installed OSX 1.5 EnergyCoin client and the synch is much more faster.
I did it with old energy conf and only 3 clients connected but it finished the synch in no time

I think it's at least 10 times faster than 1.3 OSX client  Shocked

Very nice work  Smiley
Thx,

Guys,

I start to redesign our OP today.

Added a 'Latest News' section.

Now people don't have to search or read the last couple of pages in order to know our important news.

Mandatory Update marked in red to get more people alerted.

ROKOS v5 Flavors is now on our top news. More good news to come...

Added a 'Frequently Asked Questions' section too.

@Harcon
Thanks and appreciate for your inputs about using Wifi dongle on ROKOS. I added it in FAQ as well.

It is alive! Well, almost. I have to find a place to keep my Pi that my 6 cats wont get to. They would kill the poor pi if i left it out.

 If you use ROKOS with an Ethernet cable you should have no problems at all with your connection. However, you may find a situation where your using a Wifi dongle and you are successful in getting it to connect but you can not go any place on the net or use your wallet. This is how I fixed it.

1.Sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces ( in terminal )
 
2.You should see a few lines of configuration already there. At the top of those lines of configuration add: auto wlan0

3. find iface wlan0 inet manual and change manual to dhcp.

4. At this point you may pres cont X and it will ask you if you want to save changes. Type y and restart.

 BAM! you should now be good to go.

 Also note that when your wallet is syncing you may lose control of your mouse. This seems to be not a big issue as it comes back. You may have mouse problems until the wallet is running for a min or 2 and everything settles down.  

Awesome! Very glad to see your ROKOS screenshot! thanks for the feedback, adding it to the ROKOS flavors thread.
