ACTUALLY.. i think i know the issue..

probably you compiled using different version of dependencies...

db4.8.5? (if you used the easywinbuilder, this is why.. not your problem.. probably i need to recompile the official using easywinbuilder)
I remember the official was compiled with 4.7**, but phelix easy winbuilder use 4.8.5.. i will recompile now using easywinbuilder (theofficial)

for now, i recommend don't use until we find the exact problem (i.e. confirm this is the problem)

I tried deleting all files - game.dat /nameindexfull.dat.. (also -rescan)
seems to switch back to the official, the only solution was to redownload the blockchain..
so maybe is some issue with this?
also there is some slow down with scrolling using this version.. possible due to overlay of co-ordinates and squares?

EDIT: seems just deleting the database directory in datadir allowed me to swap back without redownloading the chain... I am trying to rebuild the game.dat and nameindexfull.dat .. not sure if working.. will see

looks like i need to redownload..

don't use this just yet i think

dont' use this yet..

I am unable to use the official version after using this one..

Yes we are ! That's is great! ♥

Wow,

if so this is really great. myself and i'm sure thousands of other people are very much appreciative of it.

I've sent you a pm <3

Tab names should now be fixed, tested under linux and it works for me, couldn't test it on windows so let me know if it is fine.

Pushed the source on https://github.com/pompobit/huntercoin

the windows wallet is here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/e49da4ni8t4eru4/imp_huntercoin.zip

I hope it is ok

An almost clean one

check out first post on page 55 of this thread.

I just woke up and am still digesting this info. Maybe you could add in some more detailed instructions. I've never used RAMDISK or -datadir. But your info sounds great. Good suggestion.

As an aside I'm curious on how huntercoin runs on a live linux cd such as mint. Those load the os in the ram. I've tried to compile while running a live disk but it no work despite the comments from others on how easy it is to compile for linux. Wish I could just dl a compiled linux wallet.

Snailbrain we are very sorry to hear about thecoder.  He will be missed, particularly in the NMC.


We could perhaps help with this.


We have now found this bug!  We delayed launching our pool until we could resolve the crash, but now we have been running for 48hrs without crash!  This means we are now stable to launch (it was the last bug we wanted to resolve) and will have news today about our plan details.

The problem itself is an obscure (but known) issue in Boost, of all things!  Our patch is suitable for headless daemons but not suitable for the gui wallet - as it makes even more GUI locking.  We will make an appropriate patch for the gui wallet (instead of patching boost libraries which is less than ideal) after we finish deploying our pool.  We can discuss the details in PM with snailbrain but will not put details public because the problem could be used to DoS attack other clients and interfere with the human mining.  (We have seen little evidence that this is already happening now.)


We also did some things to reduce disk I/O of the daemon, but it is still very heavy.  We are toying around with another patch which trims some information from being written with the blocks, but we are not sure yet if it is safe, since it means not storing full blocks.  (We know this affects many things like rescan, for example!)

Also we have some questions about the difficulty math.  We think there might be something weird there from our testing, but want to discuss this privately as well.

0.00000000 HUC received ... no one feels like sending some or even just reply with "Thanks", really? Community all time low, it seems.  

Is there any point trying to solo mine this anymore? Can't get P2Pool running but been soloing for a while with no luck. Any idea the average time it would take to find a block per MH?

true

I think that relying on everyone not running Windows to use Wine is a bit harsh - that would also mean that everyone not using binaries needs to cross-compile for Windows, which is (never tried myself but heard lots of times) really painful.  So I hope there will always be a cross-platform UI available, even if it is not as comfortable as MithrilMan's.

Once you create RAMDISK, shutdown Huntercoin and copy it's whole data directory to RAMDISK. Then use -datadir command to tell it
location of data directory on RAMDISK, for example if it is drive X and directory name is HUC than use -datadir=X:\HUC to start wallet.

Size of RAMDISK should be at least 1.5 GB

I'm using both RAMDISK and high-performance SSD and Huntercoin still occassionaly freezes but not for long, around 1 minute maximum.

You and others can thank me on HGkEyaxqEKSPH9dVUzZAiYWa9DkfhWHcsk  

snailbrain, I really respect you, you are done!

You're probably a or 2 league above me.

I love Visual Studio. It's just soooo nice... I simply found that working in MonoDevelop was a bit more comfortable when working cross platform. It was simply easier to work in a Linux VM, then compile on Windows and OS X with the IDE.

But if you're looking for a challenge, cross platform is it! With C#, it's all pretty much Mono, Mono, or Mono.

I'm still dying to play with your new Huntercoin client! And I'm sure I'm not the only one cheering you on!

it will be windows only.. but i assumed people could just run the daemon on linux and then run mithrilmans client in wine..

----

the browser (and mobile device) based Huntercoin is at a very early stage of planning atm, don't hold your breath the ui/map etc is all easy... it's the exchange style login/security (and rawtransaction stuff?), multiple daemons(?), infrastructure etc which i will need to find a lot of help on...
if anyone has experience with this and can help, there could be $$ in it for you

----

I'm still waiting to hear back from someone who is looking at the daemon random crash (i have the back traces if someone else wants to have a look?)



Thanks, yes as you are aware I unfortunately lost my partner in the project. Until I can find someone who can at least do 1/4 of his job, this will have to wait. For now there are a few devs helping with little things, and I will see who can take on this role... If anyone wants to have a go at this, send me a pm. The client is virtually complete, apart from the odd bug which will get rectified soon, the cosmetic things, and improvements shouldn't be too difficult.

The only thing I can suggest atm regarding the life of your SSD:

1. Backup wallet and use a RAM Drive - possible can set it to backup every few hours.
2. It should pay for itself in a short time. You could have an SSD specifically for Huntercoin (use -datadir option) if you are using your OS drive atm, and see that as a running cost for your new job (in Huntercoin)

sorry if these suggestions are not helpful, but that's all I have atm.

I never used monogame before and this is my first "serious" attempt about game developing. I'm an experienced C#/WEB/Android(Java here) consultant programmer and during my daily job i use Visual Studio (and Eclipse for Android) so i'd like to stick with it, i don't think it will be a problem but, again, i don't have cross platform experience with .Net so it's a new world to visit, for me (but i like challenges)

I have SSD, but it does not help. Today's impossible to play, this problem should be solved.
