Topic: [BCN] Bytecoin (not a bitcoin fork) How-To - page 2. (Read 26880 times)

Are you calling MSDOS ugly? 

Just in case anybody has problem with wallet especially with sending BCN. DStrange described how to manage it in this link.

I have the exact same problem.  I was able to get 2 transfers to work but now it won't. Please any help would be appreciated.

edit: Its working now.  I don't know what the difference in 6 hours is but now it works.  Weird. 

I have a problem with wallet, it wont send bcn from it. Says transfer competed, and ID but never executes transfer.
after day or two I refresh my balance an bcn is not show as purple, and balance is like I sent. But then I copy old wallet.bin and refresh and bcn added to my wallet (that bcn I want to send).

No chance for 32 bit... only 64bit as far as I know. UPDATE https://minergate.com/downloads you can try it.

Greetings sorry for the newbie question but the situation is that i've downloaded the bunddle for windows but it just works on 64 bit there's no chance or a 32 bit? thank you so much for your time.

I just upgraded to latest binaries. My daemon synchronized OK.
After some time I received this message:



Any idea what it means?
"BLOCK ADDED AS ALTERNATIVE HEIGHT 484930"  ?

Nice business

Yep. I should have checked the transaction ID. They're all same for the 4 inputs. My bad!

And thanks for the donation

You right, this is one  transaction!

I have my coins again, so a brief aggregation now.

I'm working with Ubuntu Linux 12.04, installed as Virtual Machines on top a VirtualBox environment. My Ubuntu installation is for wallets only, standard installation, some with VPN prepared. One week before all worked as expected, I created a lot of wallets for exchanging BCN. But beginning from yesterday I got this message on start of simplewallet and every refresh:

A dozen of wallets failed, residing on three different VMs, residing on three different hardware. Also with the newest wallet version (0.8.5.306) it failed to refresh. Surprisingly newly created wallets are working, but not the old ones.

I have now installed a wallet into windows 7 (version 0.8.6.56), syncronized the blockchain, created a new wallet successfully. Then I transfered my Ubuntu wallets into windows, renamed the large wallet-file, and voila, the refresh finished without any error, showing the correct balance.

I have downloaded the newest binaries for windows or linux. I wonder that the version differs significantly between the two os. The linux version perhaps is not uptodate.

I could compile it on my own, if I would find a hint about it to be necessary. But as a marketing guy already said about BCN: If the usability does not increase, this coin is useless. What I also wonder about: as a coin with preference to anonymization and security there should be a large community of linux users here.

Do anybody use a linux os for his wallets successfully? What's the os name and version? Do I have to compile the wallet sw on my own?

So essentially it is one transaction of 13102 BCN divided into many parts for anonymity? That's definitely possible.

I have this also. One big outgoing transaction divided into many smaller incoming parts. Is this perhaps the result of the option?

OK, I successfully synchronized my blockchain and wallet for the first time and my wallet already has 4 incoming transactions, totalling 13102 BCN.

Is this normal?



I had asked for a few BCN in the giveaway thread, but I'm not sure if all transactions are from the giveaway. I also don't know how to check date/time of a transaction, so can't verify.

The Linux link leads me to the version 0.8.5.306 that I'm using all the day now. On a third Ubuntu system all the same. The blockchain was 14 days back. The first step was installing this newest version. The second was syncronizing with the blockchain. The last step was starting simplewallet with yet another old wallet, the same "refresh failed" as on the other systems.

I'm installing a Windows 7 64 Bit version now, as a VirtualBox VM. All my other Ubuntu Linux 12.04 systems are VirtualBox VMs also, nothing special, standard installation.

Ok, now my cold wallet too shows up this message:
Error: refresh failed: transaction extra parse error. Blocks received: 0

So I have no access to any of my BCN coins now. The first start of my cold wallet was fine, but after some hours I got this message above. I updated the wallet sw, but the same. How to recover?

A newly created wallet on the other host is working fine, but no access to old wallets. What is happening here?

I have the same problem with my older wallets, the save command does not solve the problem.

I have different wallets:
name1.bytecoin.wallet
name2.bytecoin.wallet
...
I updated my wallet sw on Ubuntu Linux from version 0.8.4.290 before to 0.8.5.306 now.

A freshly created wallet works fine. But if I run simplewallet with an older wallet I'm getting the error as shown above:
Error: refresh failed: transaction extra parse error. Blocks received: 6321

The blockchain download is complete, of course.

After the daemon has synchronized with the network, issue the save command in daemon console to store the blockchain, then you will be able to refresh the wallet

I am assuming bytecoin.org has the write files as well, I downloaded and installed it, copied my wallet files over and now all is good.
