Using Win 10 right now.
I haven't fired up my wallet since october... Did it for some hours ago, but the sync stops at 60549 blocks, using 1.5.1.1. Is there a bootstrap I can use?
Hi oneoff,
I can do one better than a bootstrap, a linear bootstrap:
http://sterlingcoin.org/sterlingcoin-682683-bootstrap.dat (336 MB)
It is about 18k blocks behind the current height of 701035 and is just over a month old, but should get you up-to-speed quicker and, being linear, contains no orphans.
I hope that helps!
Thanks for the boot strap, but it didn't solve my problem. The wallet continues to stop syncing at the same spot, right now at app. 6487 remaining blocks. I have tried to remove everything in the Dat-folder, tried -rescan, added some nodes I found in this thread, all this without any success. Do you have any further ideas what I can do?
It seems like I'll put the Raspberry Pi plans on the shelf. Found out that I'll probably have access to a VPS. Do I have to send all coins to the wallet I may install on the VPS. Or can I use privkey, in similar way as hos Dash masternodes work. Where the coins remain in my " wallet" on a separate computer, while VPS runs the staking/node-function. Hope you understand what I'm looking for
This odd, oneoff. Perhaps try adding "staking=0" to the config file while you sync to current height. Going by what you have said here and previously, your coins must have much weight by this time. The internal functions of staking your coins might be hindering the sync. Just an idea of something worth a try.
I would suggest actually sending the coins to your new wallet. While going the privkey method will work, all coins might not be accounted for in the new wallet, leaving you to "repairwallet", -rescan, or completely resync to find them all in your balance. Sending them will remove this variable.
If you intend to run two copies of the same wallet.dat file, make sure one
stays not staking with the "staking=0" in the config file. If you do not, one of the wallets will become corrupted if they both are trying to stake the same coins, a condition that will undoubtedly arise. If I am understanding what you are intending correctly, leave the "staking=0" flag in the config file of your "spending" wallet. Your staking wallet will see these "spending" transactions broadcasted and act accordingly.
I hope this info is helpful!
