here is the next update for the bitbar-qt wallet:
bitbar-qt_v04.3.008 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1cnD3W8c0jtcUFCSVl0V2tEM3M/view?usp=sharing
Just some cosmetics.
Added a logo on the overview tab, and some color to the wallet.
May have gone a little overboard - let me know what you think.

What I do is shut down the wallet, remove the debug.log file (so It's easier to read), remove the peers.dat file and start the wallet again. Sometimes I just turn the computer off, grab a beer and read.
(Not that I'm telling you to partake in the consumption of alcohol, 'cause it tends to make your posts (or mine) a little winded.)
I've noted recently using getpeerinfo, that I've not been connected to altcointech.net at IP 167.160.36.162 on a couple of my wallets, but my pool server is. - just an interesting note.
When having difficulties connecting - you can change the addnodes in your config to several of the nodes listed at CCE - add as many as you would like. The list does change from time to time as wallets connect.

My connection count is 0 at this point. not sure what to do. We don't need a .CONF any longer I thought so I deleted mine when the new wallet came out. (ver. 4.3 less CC)
the wallet automatically connects to btb.altcointech.net and gets connections from there.I think they forgot to pay some bills..
I do have connections now with those nodes.
That reminds me:
To let the community know.
I have sponsored the node and block explorer @ Cryptocoinexplorer for the next year in hope that it can be continued to be used as a tool for the bitbar community.

lukemarshall was kind enough to pay the sponsorship at CCE - which runs (is) the btb.altcointech.net node. At around $300 usd a year, I don't think he is going to be willing to do it year after year.
We have been discussing this issue, and I think it is about time to come up with a BTB Donation wallet & address.
I 'think' I have Luke talked into taking on this responsibility.
If anybody has any objections to lukemarshall as 'treasury officer' please speak up.
One of the things on the 'list of things to do' for the BitBar wallet is to include an option to redirect a percentage of stake reward to a different BTB account.
This will be a range from 10% to 50% set by the user, if the user enables it.
The address to which the funds are sent can be any BTB address.
You can use this function to automatically send funds to an exchange, to a separate wallet for savings, or even to our donation address. All controlled by you, not hidden somewhere in the wallet code.
The hopes are that we can get enough funds to cover the cost of our sponsored node and perhaps other projects like faucets, advertising, bounty and ??
The future is bright, like sunlight off a golden BitBar!

Having a few problem with BitBar on a nomp pool, when a block is found the wallet finds it and records the block perfectly but nomp doesnt record it in redis and so payments are just being kept in the configured wallet for the pool. Other coins work ok.
Spidersbox (need help again)
i remember you saying you had nomp setup privately, did you have to do anything to get it working properly?
Nothing special.Spidersbox (need help again)
i remember you saying you had nomp setup privately, did you have to do anything to get it working properly?Make sure you have the right user and password setup in the paymentProcessing and daemons area of the nomp/pools_config/bitbar.json (or whatever you named it)
oh, and double check the wallet address against what you have in the pools_config file ( bitbard getaddressesbyaccount "" )

the wallet automatically connects to btb.altcointech.net and gets connections from there.you can still use bitbar.conf
it might be a good idea anyway just in case there is network problems connecting to btb.altcointech.net

here is a link for the windows Bitbar-qt wallet that has several added features: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1cnD3W8c0jtdGlxUFEySmZrbWM/view?usp=sharing
Added Wallet to the main menu, and moved the wallet related features into it, plus added check wallet and repair wallet.
Added coin control to the "Send coins" tab.

efing sick man!! I went in and looked at the coin control only to find that my bars had actually been put in one block already from that "rejected transaction" I was talking about I did on 12/21/15..weird but whatever, I don't have to wait 30 days to stake now. I am however having a sync issue...seems to be stuck at this time with 208 blocks to go.
there is a tree view, and a list mode. - check list mode that should show individual blocks.
Do the wallet repair and see what happens. I've had several failed attempts. The amount is taken - then it fails - but it doesn't put the amount back.
Wallet repair put it back for me.
I've been having a few problems connecting too. Also noticed the blockchain has been pausing a little.

A few things to think about:
When using the coin control to combine your blocks, you will be making a new block.
It will take 30 days before the new block will start staking.
The Fee on the form is just an estimate.
I have several thousand transfers for 0.002829 (from my pool cut)
when I group 100 of these together, the transfer amount will be 0.2829 and the .0001 fee will not apply.
Bitbar charges more for smaller amounts, to help reduce dust - the fee for such a small amount starts at .001
Then there is a fee for larger size blocks. The block size was roughly ~14878 (14k) when I grouped 100 blocks together.
The total fee was .0015 BTB
If you keep the byte count below 10,000 your fee should be .001 for blocks under 1 BTB

Added coin control to the "Send coins" tab.
Now, in list mode, you can group smaller amounts together in one by sending them to yourself (or other addresses). The tx fee still applies.
The windows qt wallets are static complied, meaning you don't need all those dll's.
You can unzip the file and place the exe on your desktop and run it from there.
As always - backup, backup, backup

Good looking out with the address book. I had no idea.. I did shut the wallet down, restart it and the addresses showed up in the receive coins tab though. ..was in the process of posting the news but it made me review the thread because there was a new post before i hit the post button.
Thanks for the help!

ok. so the accounts you imported should be in your address book. If you left click on it and pick edit, you can put in the old account name - that is if you named it in your old wallet.
When I renamed the account - it magically moved to my receive coins tab.
Isn't learning fun

OK I feel a little better now that i know i am not alone on that. I don't get why it still charges a tx fee for a rejected tx..
I would do as lukemarshall suggested and dumpprivkey, exit the wallet program, rename the wallet.dat (wallet-old.dat works for me), start the wallet again to generate a new wallet, then importprivkey.
and wait an hour or so for the wallet to rescan for missing transactions on the 'new' address.
I was messing with it last night, and reduced the size of my wallet.dat file by 8K, and got rid of the studdering. haven't tried transfers yet
I just did the dump deal and now all my bars are on the new wallet.dat The file size dropped from 264KB to 216KB I noticed only the new receive address shows up in the receive coins tab. So does this mean all these bars are usable and I haven't lost any in another fork since they are all here???
