Bump..

I assume you would shut down the 1.5 wallet first and back-up your wallet.dat file to a safe place before installing the new version.

According to this: http://solarcoin.org/en/2414-2/ If you still are running 1.5 then,

Right now, there is only one sure option to still keep the SLR blockchain safe - running version 1.5

I just installed the client but how will I be able to transfer my coins from my old wallet to the new one?

Just want to keep this post from disappearing. So more people can "get it". 

Nice sunglasses by the way.

Maybe it is because i have a large stake.

Just letting you know that I haven't experienced this on either machine, after restarting both wallets... was worth a shot

Questions 2 and 2.1 have been answered here:


The missing Question 4 is still expecting the answer to 3.

Question 8:
With version 2.0.1 around, having been downloaded and available for installation, if anyone wants to get on the Lottery-Winning-Train, do they just install 2.0.1 and start staking millions of SLR? Which blockchain should they stick to for better results - the main 1.5 PoW blockchain, or the forked 2.0.3? With no blockchain explorer around, I bet the 2.0.1 version is the way to go if anyone wants to get into the billions of SLR within a day or two, without being noticed.
So here is my question 8:
8. DO YOU GET IT NOW?

  Edit: Any further code changes to PoST implementation MUST FIRST ensure 2.0.1 will not be allowed to stake on the blockchain.

FYI: current SLR main (PoW) blockchain block height: 837905

Kinda cool

What is that 0.8.6 wallet showing on the network list? One node only but it says it's the same protocol as 1.5? Where did it come from?

And 26 wallets are still on 1.5.

Seems like a power struggle is under way here. Can't wait to see who wins!

version 2.03 wallet

Another restart and another interest payment about 3 minutes after of about 2 Solarcoins. then wallet freezes and i have to restart 2 times to get it back working.

Update= after 4 restarts and 4 found blocks there is definitly a bug in the wallets and most likely why we don't have 1 block per minute

Update= now it says my wallet is over 2045 blocks behind and is syncing. And now its ok again a few minutes later.

I had exactly the same thing happen to my wallet a couple of hours ago. It said in sync and suddenly i had over 1000 blocks to catch up. weird

Just restarted my wallet again and guess what i found another small interest block under a minute later. My last block before restart was 6 hours ago. strange

I haven't had this happen though. Then again, I've only restarted my wallet once since yesterday. I haven't received any payments in a while.

Although last night, before bed, I noticed that all of a sudden my wallet said it needed to catch up on over 1000 blocks (I was on block 835,273 at the time). It seemed like somehow my wallet got on the 1.5 chain?   Not sure how that could possibly happen unless whoever started running the 2.0.1 version is trying to subvert those of us running 2.0.3 somehow to get us back on the 1.5 chain.

Anyway, when I got up this morning, I was still in sync to 2.0.3 which is showing block 835,278. Still, it was weird...

FYI, you can see what wallets people are currently running here, the 2.0.1 wallet showed up on that list late yesterday. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/slr/#!network

And we are not the only ones, This is exactly why I wanted more testing done on POST.
There should not be increased chances of finding a block when you restart the wallet.
I think 3 members here already reported this.

Same here.

I have also experienced this numerous times. finding blocks right after restart.

Also after restart my balance usually updates to the correct amounts.

I would like to share my findings with the community:

I found two blocks, (both rather small amounts) however I found the blocks right after restarting the wallet. Sure this is not a coincidence?

In addition to that below spendable under staking it says the amount of coins of have plus the ones I am currently staking! that's a little confusing to be honest...
Now under my total it says twice the amount of coins I currently have so yeah something is still wrong!! (i'm hoping this is nothing in the mechanics of solarcoin but rather an error in the way things are being displayed).
Thank you for confirming if this is the same on your wallet

Hi all,

Like TooQik, long time lurker, first time poster... thought I'd add my experiences/questions to the community.

Right before the switch at block 830,000 I sent half of my coins (55,000) to another wallet on a different computer that runs 24/7. The other ~56,000 stayed on my old laptop in the roof that monitors my PV output, and is also on 24/7.

Since block 835,000 on my old laptop, the overview page shows the 56,000 as 'Spendable' with zero coins staking, though the icon in the lower-right shows 'In sync and staking...' when hovered over. This laptop I believe is an old Core 2 Duo running at 1.8GHz, and it certainly freezes up regularly while the wallet 'does it's thing'.

On the other computer, the 55,000 coins have generated an orphaned 6.32 coins, and a genuine 5.02 coins. The overview page shows all 55,005.02 coins staking, none in spendable, with 'In sync, not staking, earning Stake-time'.

I understand the 'pot luck' aspect of staking (and mining, that's where most of my coins came from), but I'm wondering if higher coin-age is a factor in staking? The YOUNGEST of the coins on my old laptop (56,000 balance) is from 19th of August 2014, whereas the oldest ones on the other computer are from 21st of September 2015.

Happy for the answer to be 'dumb luck', just thought I'd add my experience in case it helps!

By the way: great community, great thinkers, great work Steve, hope you enjoyed the rock climbing! And thanks TooQik for introducing me to SLR...
