Official Release 1.1.2!
Fixed a bug in the staking protocol that caused some clients to hang and lose sync with the network. Also limited connectivity to the newer more stable clients.
Go here to download:
http://www.vericoin.info/ If you are in sync (most are), no need to reload the blockchain, go to step 3.
1. If you are out of sync or stuck follow these instructions
-Windows
%appdata%\Roaming\VeriCoin
-Mac
~/Library/Appplication\ Support/Vericoin/
2. Keep wallet.dat and delete everthing else (best to backup wallet.dat too)
3. Install wallet:
-Mac
download wallet place anywhere and open it up, the block will sync, may take a little while.
-Windows
Double click the installer, check bootstrap.dat if you want to reload the block, otherwise leave it unchecked.
-If you get a wallet.dat error on the wallet window, you have a corrupted wallet.dat file follow these steps:
Click on the help menu, then Debug window, now click on the console tab.
In the text field type in this command with your receive address (public address)
dumpprivkey
copy and paste this key into a text file.
Close vericoin-qt
Now delete everything in directory mentioned above including wallet.dat (best to keep a backup)
Now open vericoin-qt and let it load full block
In console tab mentioned above now type this with your private key from text file
importprivkey (may take 5 minutes or so)
I was having desync issues on OSX still with the 1.1.2 wallet. Now I have done the following last night prior to going to sleep with amazing results.
OSX is what I'm using:
Create a backup of your current wallet that is causing you problems. cp wallet.dat wallet.dat.recent
Click on the help menu, then Debug window, now click on the console tab.
In the text field type in this command with your receive address (public address)
dumpprivkey
copy and paste this key into a text file.
Close vericoin-qt
Now delete everything in directory mentioned above including wallet.dat (best to keep a backup)
Now open vericoin-qt and let it load full block
Make sure the wallet is fully synced before importing your key as that's how I did it.
In console tab mentioned above now type this with your private key from text file
importprivkey (may take 5 minutes or so)
Let it run for a couple mins after import then close the wallet.
Run the wallet with -resync once & let it sync up.
Provided it's synced & no issues, close the wallet.
Run the wallet with -salvagewallet & let it run for say 15mins.
Close the wallet, open & check for any issues.
So far, not 1 desync & only 1 conflicted transaction out of many that are currently staking.
Prior to this, desync & transaction issues would have happened within 10-15 mins. It's been 4+ hours
Please test if you are having similar issues.
I believe alot of the wallets are borked & were on forked chains. As I know mine was. I believe this is contributing to the issues with the wallet.
