Is it possible to solo mine and how to?
I am not able to get it work
currently only solo mining is possible.
you can do that from your wallet by typing "setgenerate true -1" in wallet console window. (Help -> Debug window)



or add "gen=1" to your QubitCoin.conf

OK I found out (from one developer) that transaction too large is because of too many inputs to the wallet. In other words (if I understood correctly) you can't send more than about 860 inputs and that means if you were mining and getting 1 Q2C reward, you will not be able to send more than 860 Q2C. That is if you increase the the fee to 5 Q2C per transaction (-maxtxfee=5).

I tested all this and the only way to go around it is to manually move coins by 860 to another wallet and then you should be able to do one transaction (depending how much you have) and move back the whole amount back to original wallet. It takes a little bit of time but it is one time only.

If you also have larger inputs in your wallet, you can enable Coin Control Feature option and select only small amounts of inputs to be sent. Settings->Options->Wallet->Enable coin control features. After this on SEND page at the top you will get the option to select Inputs manually.

I will try to see with Nova exchange if somehow we can swap wallets to make it right. Not sure if it can be done.

I'm using CoinControl app by Rav3nPL, much easier to use compared to built in coin control feature, you can download it here:

crypto = passion
I am trying to get wallet issues resolved. Since I am not a developer I would like you guys to list all the things that need to be fixed.
Once we fix that we can think about adding some other features.

Thanks

someone mention before that there is no way how to send bigger amount of coins in one go (about 880 Q2C is the limit) from client, as getting "transaction to large" message.

Possibly Novaexchange need some assistance with their Qubit wallet.

concerned a large fee for  withdrawal coins, I was consulted but did not know if I did solve the problem

Many thanks for all the help and advice, it really is much appreciated.
However I don't get very far, running Sierra 10.12.1
-bash: $: command not found

Maybe the next mac wallet will function better for me as the last one did.
Have a great year!

oops, not meant to enter the $ (symbolically represents command line entry)
it says
Code:
$ ./qubitcoind &

but you enter
Code:
./qubitcoind &


i've removed all the $ from commands to enter in my earlier post, makes it easy to copy/paste.

The wallet just freezes when I try to send anything.  I barely have to click on 'send' for this to happen. It doesn't matter what amount or whether the address is generated by the wallet.

Smiley one last thing to try if you're keen enough Smiley

use a daemon, i have found them to be more responsive at times than the qt.
you will have to do a lot of command line typing Smiley

there doesnt seem an official release, so i have built one
i couldnt actually build a static coind (bloody bitcoin nerds hate osx!!!), so the necessary dependencies are included in a sub-folder.
it seems to work , fingers crossed..

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5j8d4FSc7drQ0k3dmI1bGlfOXc   << not official !!!
(i have tested this on 10.8, and will check on 10.11 a bit later if i remember on reboot :p)

--
what you will need to do,
.edit QubitCoin.conf,
.start the daemon,
.when it's in sync, try a send command.
i have no idea what size your transactions will be, so you may as well start small (500 Q2C) and see if that works.
then go bigger Smiley

if you don't understand what you're doing, you're just going to have to be a good littly copy-pasta monkey and do it anyway. lol

---
you will need to add some settings to your QubitCoin.conf file, if you dont have one, there is one in the zip, so add some stuff, then move to appropriate location

edit QubitCoin.conf by adding

rpcuser=makesomethingup
rpcpassword=makesomethinguphereaswell

how to find your datadirectory, first go to Application Support using this article
http://www.syniumsoftware.com/support-article/how-do-i-navigate-to-the-application-support-folder

there should be a QubitCoin folder in Application Support, drag the conf file there.

if you're using a different datadirectory this will complicate matters slightly,

---
open Terminal, which is in
Application/Utilities/Terminal

commands you need to enter in terminal will be prefixed with a $
eg
Code:
$ ./qubitcoind &

navigate to where you put the qubitcoind,
in the finder show the folder
Code:
$ cd [drag folder from finder to terminal]

mine, for example, would be
Code:
$ cd /Users/User/Documents

now start the daemon, with some extra stuff to hopefully help,
these settings should depend on your ram, the below uses 1000mb for dbcache, feel free to ramp it up if you have loads of ram
Code:
$ ./qubitcoind -dbcache=1000 -maxconnections=1000 &

the daemon should now be starting/loading,
once it is loaded you will hopefully be able to get interactions from it using the included qubitcoin-cli.exe
Code:
$ ./qubitcoin-cli getinfo

how to send coins is
Code:
$ ./qubitcoin-cli sendtoaddress Qaddresstosendtohere 500

if success, it should then give you a txid in response.

when you want to stop the daemon
Code:
$ ./qubitcoin-cli stop

--
if the QubitCoin.conf is not correct, you might get this
Error: To use qubitcoind, or the -server option to qubitcoin-qt, you must set an rpcpassword in the configuration file:

if you cant get any response from getinfo, you could just try sending coins and leave it to see what happens.

you could always open your debug.log (in your datadirectory), it should open in Console and will update real time,
it's output will hopefully give you an idea of where it's at.

this sort of stuff means it's still syncing

if you are using a different datadirectory you will need to tell the coind,
to start
Code:
$ ./qubitcoind -datadir=draglocationhere &

to do other things
Code:
$ ./qubitcoin-cli -datadir=draglocationhere getinfo


=====

hmmz. no idea about crontab atm.
this seems to work, it's a simple loop you enter into terminal
the following should send coins every 10 minutes (as long as you're in the right folder),

Code:
$ while true; do qubitcoin-cli sendtoaddress GXQ3CHQ6qy4u4j3exXdz9WWUqqovBzXydj 5000; sleep 600; done

to end it
[ctrl]+c
or kill the Terminal window



for extra value, if succesful you can automate the send process using crontab
basically it's a process to automatically do system commands at specified intervals/time/dates

nano is a text editor, it is not entirely obvious how to use it so you'll just have to copy paste

$ nano crontab -e

this will open up the file for editing, what you will end up with will be similar to this
*/15 * * * * /Users/User/qubitcoind/qubitcoin-cli sendtoaddress Qaddddreeessssssssssssssssss 5000

first paste this
*/15 * * * *
then immediately after drag the qubitcoin-cli location, i get
*/15 * * * * /Users/User/qubitcoind/qubitcoin-cli

then add your send address after that
*/15 * * * * /Users/User/qubitcoind/qubitcoin-cli sendtoaddress Qaddddreeeesssssssssssssss 5000

then quit and save
[ctrl]+x
y
[enter]


now, if all is good, it will send 5000 coins every 15 minutes,
( you can change it to 30 minutes by changing it to */30 )


Awesome writeup there for him. Hopefully he is able to get the coin out of that wallet or at least enough out of it that he can combine them without freezing for 5 years.

I'm unable to do anything, i get the spinning beachball constantly and if i try to send or receive the wallet just hangs.
I was solo mining for a long time and each reward seems to have generated a new address. So my wallet has hundreds of unique addresses.  I don't have much hope this can be sorted.

Many thanks for your help but none of the above worked. I spent all day sunday on this but to no avail.
Maybe if the new wallet is updated it might right itself as there was never a problem with the old wallet.

The only thing you can try and do is send your entire balance to yourself (so it's combined into 1 input). It will hang for a LONG LONG time, i had 50k some inputs that took hours sitting frozen. If your mining at a pool I would suggest raising your payout threshold. Or at least enabling coin control & combining small inputs occasionally.(DONT use coin control right now, youll freeze for hours just to freeze again when you start selecting from your inputs)  if your on linux you could always compile the daemon and issue the sendtoaddress command to the daemon through command line, may help on resources and not take so long to send...

Depending on your system combining/sending a huge amount of inputs could take days. You got popcorn and some good cable tv its gonna take a while Sad

sorry i couldnt help :p

do you see anything in your debug.log taht might shed any light ??
should be in your data directory with your wallet etc.

No worries!

I've had a look at the debug.log but it makes no sense to me.
The previous wallet had been fine. Maybe the next one will be too. Smiley

no idea if this will help.
increasing your maxconnections
.
either edit the QubitCoins.conf (i dont know the correct file name la capital letters)

maxconnections=1000

or open the qt using a terminal window and add arguments
(can drag/drop qt onto terminal window to get file location)
open terminal (applications/utilities)
>open /file/location/qubitcoin-qt.app --args -maxconnections=1000

..

try not to let your computer be doing anything else Smiley
seems like it needs full attention

another possible is using ulimit.
it sets system limits on processes, so you'd raise the limit, then open qt

i'm not that familiar with it, but on OSX 10.8

terminal window
> sudo ulimit -n 10000
password : [enter your user password here]
> open /file/location/qubitcoin-qt.app --args -maxconnections=1000


note: this only effects processes done within this session (terminal window), so you need to open qt within the window, and when you close window that setting will disappear (except for the qt that might still be running - until you close that too).


..
in case you're wondering why maxconnections might help, when maxconnections seems related to how many network connections it has,
maxconnections is tied to file descriptors, which seem to be related to number of processes that can be handled.
