Download latest ByteCoin binaries from:  https://sourceforge.net/projects/bytecoin-bcn/files/bytecoin-windows.zip/download

Due to tests in merged-mining, something borked, downloading new wallet fixes it.

i am having this as well.  looks like there is new github source for linux that works.. not sure about new windows wallet though.

Hi,

I'm having an issue when I open my simplewallet. I get:

Starting refresh...
Error: refresh failed: transaction extra parse error. Blocks received: 404

Any ideas?

I use the same path as when opening the daemon so I'm pretty sure it's the same. (Daemon works)
The command line is: c:\ByteCoin\simplewallet --wallet-file=wallet_name.bin --pass=12345

The name of the wallet is wallet_name.bin. If I use a made up non-existing wallet name (but same folder-path), I get the same error message (file not found fake_wallet_name.bin.keys). Switching to another folder than the daemon didn't help.

Before the error message says “bytecoin wallet v0.8.5.300 ”

Around 2.2 GB.

Yes. First time I wasn't sure, so I saved it and exit. Then I launched it again and it said synchronized OK.

I will try again though. Do you believe this could be the only issue or there can be anything else too?

BTW; what should be the final size of the synchronized blockchain bin file?

are you 100% sure that it was synchronized? have you seen the green line "synchronized OK"?

I have synchronized blockchain. But whenever I try to refresh my wallet, it says 'Daemon is busy'.

How do I resolve this?

Are you certain you're starting simplewallet from the correct folder? What is your starting line?

I need help to load my wallet. It says - file not found "wallet_name.bin.keys" , even though the wallet_name.bin.keys is in the same folder, looking good.

I think locked balance appears when you send or receive the money. With receiving it's obvious that you need the network confirmation. With sending I assume the reason lies within ring signature and several inputs/outputs.

I guess the network confirmation of your spent transaction is needed again to unlock previous inputs.

I'm not sure if it's right

Launch it with the following params:
simpleminer --pool-addr=bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 --login=YOUR_ACCOUNT_EMAIL --pass !

Please be careful and put correct e-mail corresponding to your MinerGate account.

In case you run simpleminer with wrong or misspelled e-mail all your work will be associated with different account!

Every time I check Bytecoin.org and wish to see any changes I am a lit bit disappointed as status quo doesn't change and there is always "P.S. MacOS version coming soon."  but today I realized  that according to the blockchain there is already 1,7M mined coins.   

IMHOm there's actually no need to make mac ver.

Interesting question. Have seen it but have no ideas what's that mean 

To tell the truth have never thought about it as my balance and my unlock balance always match

Does anybody know what "unlock balance" is? In the wallet. part of my money is blocked,why?

should've probably provided a link to the minergate https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=528848.80

Thanks for the fast and detailed reply!

Silly question, but how do I point two different cpus to mine at the same wallet?

You're most certainly welcome. I guess you understood logic behind the numbers

Thanks for the information and after 10 hours I have :-

balance: 127718.41370059, unlocked balance: 127718.41370059
