You still running this?

Since the main seed node is down (domain gone), if a couple stable ones existed, they can be added to the source.  I don't have that source repo anymore -- if you still have a copy, let me know -- I'll re-post it on github --

That worked!

I was able to deposit coins successfully to coin-e.   Thank-you!

Source is forked here: https://github.com/thecarnie/Xencoin

I'll watch for pull requests -- and start doing other updates -- no changes have been made yet --

Technically, a community takeover doesn't have to be a waste of time.  All it needs is continued support and expansion.  I've got servers -- if someone wants to register a domain name, I can carry a website no problem.  I can spin up Windows or Linux VMs and go from there for seed-node hosting and so on...  I'm not going to go on the line financially until there is an increased community but I can commit things in the meantime that will help while it grows.  I'll fork and re-post the repo for the code on Gitub.  When it's up - We'll get you setup with access so you can upload your checkpoint patch and we'll go from there --

Try restarting your wallet using the -reindex flag.

Sounds great to me. By all means use the checkpoint file in my little build.

It probably in terms of financial return a total waste of time, but my time costs nothing when I'm not at work so why not eh. I work on Deb Jes too. I don't mind implementing anything you have on Trev and Brockers nodes. I think they have a pool up too as it goes. Almost at block 900000 too. Time for another checkpoint methinks...

LOL, I wasn't.

Months ago, when XNC still had some hashpower on it's network, I tried to jump in, offer code patches, and so on - to support the coin.  The developer in a nutshell told me to go fuck myself, then continued to abandon his coin to the point where his domains are gone - there is no seed nodes left.  There's barely two permanent nodes out there that everyone is using to keep the blockchain on life-support.

I didn't want to step on toes by any means -- only tried to give back to a coin I was mining.  After that episode, I deleted my github repos, nuked the updated source off my local dev server and said fuck it.  I've worked on another coin for several months - but it's not ready yet.  In the meantime - you guys are life-supporting a coin - that is literally a mirror fork of LTC code from 0.6.3 (give or take with a couple hacks by the dev of XNC)...  With testing, the code could be brought up to current LTC levels, and some checkpoints added to the client.  If a fork was voted for, a better difficulty algo could be implemented that would protect the coin from 'mining pools' -- but again -- I nuked most of my updates after being slapped in the face by someone who apparently deliberately trying to tank their own coin...

For you guys, I would put in updates -- make the code available on Github, etc -- I can build linux (debian jessie) clients, and windows clients - can't help you on a mac client though...

Noob question....   How do you build a wallet with check points, using Windows?

Ah didnt realise someone was working on it or I wouldnt have rebuilt the wallet with checkpoints.

Thanks guys!

I was actually on block 880k+ (I don't know why I thought it was 830k).  Either way, I deleted everything and copied the wallet and made a new config file with only the two nodes listed above.  Hopefully that will fix things.  Its downing the entire blockchain now...  I'll let you guys know what happens!  Hopefully I didn't mine on a fork for 3 weeks....


Update: The wallet completely re synced and I have exactly the same number of coins.  Looks like I was on the right fork???  Any idea why the coins aren't showing up?

Well, then what do you guys want patched in the client -- then the other issue is you have to convince the exchanges to update or the changes are pointless if they require a fork.

Lol, to put it nicely, fuck him 

You'll wake him up again 

For initial sync you could try one of the 2 nodes above with connect= instead of addnode=, which ever is working for you.

Either just

connect=46.32.253.168

or alternatively just

connect=86.163.164.201

After sync use this:

Code:
addnode=46.32.253.168
addnode=86.163.164.201

I'm at block 883982 - so a fair way ahead of you - i just made a deposit to coins-e which went through immediately - looks like you might be stuck back on a fork?

You could try deleting everything in the user/appdata/roaming/xencoin folder and just leave the wallet.dat in there and a .conf with those nodes and then re-start the wallet and so re-load the blockchain which should catch you up to the right fork (after a while!!)

*** Make sure you don't delete the wallet.dat folder by mistake or all your coins will be gone!! ***

Also bear in mind that any coins you've mined on that fork won't re-appear unfortunately  

Delete your blockchain. heh. Dont know to be honest.

No one seemed to do anything so I jumped in.

wallet with checkpoints added - but you'll have to compile it yourselves.

I built a fresh debian box, compiled from that, downloaded blockchain etc and bam, straight into coins-e. Same goes for an existing windows wallet. just deleted everything bar wallet.dat, ran it over night. and its working.

Just made a small deposit to Coins-e:

Coins-e says:

17-Jul-14 - 22:34:04 - b7a0918439676131122a0232cd8071049a720a65275d985e6cc2d13bc2cb9b35 - deposit - confirmed - 2323

Confirmations are rapid at present!

Community takeover yet?

I'm using those nodes and I made a small deposit to coins-e last night, but the balance never appeared.  My wallet is showing I'm on block 830k+.  Any ideas?

Trev and Brockers have a few nodes up and running and both accepting transactions on coin-e.

I rebuilt the wallet with checkpoints up to 800k+ out of one mofo of a blockchain. I've requested a fork of the project on github otherwise i'll just host the source and people can compile themselves

You wanna be adding these nodes mate:

46.32.253.168
86.163.164.201

.201 seems to be a bit up/down

Defo getting into coins-e though. Also block explorer here:

http://mining.se4.biz:2075

can someone post a new set of getpeerinfo from their working wallet?

Thanks!
