I'm using the latest market client (2.0). What is the difference between "Actual Balance" and "Available Balance"?

FYI - I have uploaded the update to 3.0 and everything is running like clock-work. NO PROBLEMS.
"Just do a regular install, load your keys and sync." D. Zim    Boom! That's it!

Repost from BitBayDev (This is very important, I don't want anyone to miss it!):

As some of you already know, BitBay will be hard-forking very soon, in preparation for the release of the Dynamic Peg! If you use the Qt wallet or markets client to store your BAY, you must update to the latest version by downloading from:

https://bitbay.market/downloads

For any support with the update, please feel free to ask.

THIS IS A MANDATORY UPDATE!

I'm not sure what I've done wrong but its all going a bit pear shaped.
I done the initial upgrade which was all good then I was prompted to upgrade again..then it got stuck at 2450882 at 99%.
Then I started a resync with the added new nodes and new boot strap now it stops at 40320 at 1%.
I'm thinking of uninstalling it and starting from scratch but i'm worried as ive got the wallet.dat the wallet-original.dat and I'm confused as fuck.
So David what would you do in my shoes and could you explain it in an idiot proof way as I'm shit with computers what I should do..cheers dude.



Well in Halo wallet the wallet.dat file only tracks transactions and your keys are key1.private and key2.private(only QT uses wallet.dat). Of course you can back up anything you want and should always have multiple backups of your keys. It shouldn't get stuck. However you can send your debug.log file to me via PM (that file is in bitbaydata directory). The bootstrap might not be loading properly or it could be busy doing something. You could try syncing from scratch if bootstrap isn't working for you. Even a new install is fine, if you do that just do a regular install, load your keys and sync.

Im doing a resync and its going really slowly over an hour and still at 2%..I added the new nodes to the conf file (must you delete the old ones?) from chainz website.
Anything else I could do...or is this normal.

Thats possible, our chain has gotten pretty large. As long as the number of blocks keeps increasing it's fine. I know the team is updating the bootstrap but not sure when.

Just updated my QT wallet to v. 3.0.0 and it litterally took less than 5 minutes ( wallet.dat back up included).
How can I check if I'm on the correct chain and not on a fork of it?


Sorry for noobr question : may someone please provide me an advice regarding the bolded part?

Well first you should be running the latest software. And then how to know for sure the best bet is to look at chainz and see what their block height is and compare it to yours. Sometimes it might be off by a few blocks and fix itself due to reorganization. But basically the way to know is to compare to other users.

So remember everyone, if you haven't already please update to the newest Halo client or the newest QT(3.0). We are forking in a week. Not updating is bad and can put you on the wrong chain. Also we need as many people as possible staking since that helps secure the fork.  Smiley

ok...last question, I hope.......do I need to do a rescan?..........it seems to be stuck at 99%...I'm going to turn it off and on again, that's always a winner.

Not rescan, resynchronize. So remove files in bitbaydata except wallet.dat(for Halo) and if QT remove files except wallet.dat in the bitbay folder in appdata directory.
Since if you got stuck on an orphan chain that would be the only solution.

quick question, I ran the update file from the link David posted previously everything went well but know its saying there's another Halo update.
Should I do the same procedure as last time re-naming the wallet to original etc or something else....cheers

No that was a one time procedure and yeah there was another update and it should be the last update for a while.

What is the best exchange to use for the update to new wallet?

We don't have any exchanges for now. Latoken will integrate shortly after our fork and then we will try to update Blocknet for the peg. However for now trading should be over the counter.

As for the wallet choice both the Markets Wallet and QT are good options. Just depends on if you want the higher security and decentralized markets or if you want a light weight wallet to visualize the peg. I'm happy with both products.


Thanks for getting back to me bro. I just downloaded and installed the new QT on Linux and it seems was a perfect transition, I see all my coins already and it's in sync instantly, my question is there any thing else I need to do or is the new wallet enough?

The new wallet is enough, thanks.

Any plans to release sources for 3.0?

For the peg? Yeah of course. We will probably release under the Jerulija license to prevent cloning. It will be open source though.
We currently keep the branch private and share it with exchanges.

Halo is always released open source and obfuscated however I may remove the last bit of obfuscation and use the aforementioned license.

It's a matter of timing. I would think the community would want a few months with the branch kept private. We will see what happens.
