So, with all that knowledge, for a "1st" post, are you the Mister who's going to fix my sync issues?
What is your current client's protocol version?
it should be:
80501 (to check go to console and type
getinfo)
if not, download the latest client ASAP.
in both case. I would delete EVERYTHING in the appfolder, EXCEPT your config file and wallet.dat.
Once everything is deleted, please check your config file and MAKE SURE you have only
addnode= from this list here
http://fac.blockx.info/connected-nodes CLICK ON THE BUTTON THAT SAYS
Get Config Ready NodesThen let it sync, you should connect quickly and smoothly and if everything goes well, you should sync up to date within minutes
Thanks for the help. My client is 80501. The issue I have is:
If I delete everything except wallet.dat, It syncs and I get all my coins except the minted ones.
If I delete everything except wallet.dat and config file (with updated nodes), it syncs and I get all my coins except the minted ones.
If I update the client and keep my old files, just change the config, it doesn't sync (stuck at 3140, estimated 5594) but it shows correct coins. The blk0001.dat file has the 12-04-2014 date.
If I update the cliend and I delete peers.dat, it doesn't sync (stuck at 3140, estimated 5594) but it shows correct coins. The blk0001.dat file has the 12-04-2014 date.
If I delete the The blk0001.dat file, wallet doesn't open because it cannot load that same file.
If I try repairwallet command or -rescan, the minted coins do not show up.
Is there anything I can do to resolve this?
What do you mean you get your coins except the minted ones... by the looks of it, those coins are orphans and they were never accepted by the network. so you seem to be fine.
When you get orphans, don't worry, let the wallet go and you will eventually get good coins.
Once again, thanks for the help on this matter.
I had 38 minted coins (or POS reward) until the wallet got stuck, that is the blk0001.dat file date (12-04-2014). I did have a few orphans but those 38 coins were confirmed. I have my wallet open 99% of the time (basicaly, from the start).
Right now, after the update, my wallet only shows the original coins from the giveaway (ranging from the 10th to the 17th of March). All minted coins are grayed out (the transactions are still there, last being from the 8th of April).
Are you saying that POS rewards are pure luck?
To me, it seems I have lost my POS rewards, a month after intial release. This is not good.
You haven't lost anything. If they are greyed out and have a question mark at the begining of the line, these are orphans PoS blocks. You need to know that PoS works just like PoW in the sense that you are in competition with others on the network. It's a reward for finding a block, just like in PoW, so in that sense, there's a part of luck in this process.
If you leave your wallet open, you will eventually get a successful block. the more time it takes, the higher your PoS reward will be, so like I said, you don't lose anything.
Having a lot of orphans in your wallet is not a problem, except that it clutters your view. Maybe dev could implement the removal of orphans with the repair wallet command, it has been done with other coins already.
Be patient, make sure you have the latest software and let it run... if you get orphans that is a sign that your wallet is trying to get a PoS block... eventually you'll get one (and for every block you haven't move since the begining)
when did this coin reach pos?
already got 480 FAC from POS till today and i'm opening this wallet about 70%of the time, starting from 5 per staking to 6.48 FAC till now. i guess it will keep weighing till day 90.
anyone know how much will we get at weight 90 day? 15FAC/POS? oh feel like paying my bills only from POS in the future
You can get a rough estimate of what your reward will be by taking 6% / 365 days * number of days since initial deposit (or successful stake). The weight only influences the priority on the network. not the reward, so if you open your wallet after 180 days and get a stake, you'll get about 3% return on that block.
