i found something interesting in the terms of cryptsy

Quote

28. Staking Interest

Some Cryptsy wallets may provide staking interest rewards. Any staking rewards, conversions, snapshots, or likewise will become the property of Cryptsy.

the "mystery" is solved
I suggest to do a mass withdraw from cryptsy and not using them
but of course we are not able to...

There is no telling how many coins they are staking per day.

I will never use cryptsy again if I can help it, and I suggest everyone do the same. This is thievery, plain and simple.

correct me if I am wrong.. but isn't any exchange that does btcd stand to benefit from staking???

Aw hell he came in again,
The kid who wants to sit and spin
show us how you spit your sins
bitcoindark pays dividends
Jocking nuts never was so glorious
We make just one out of e pluribus
The many awake keep staking their coin of choice
There's no mistake they take their cake, laugh and point at us
Cause they saw it from the get go
but they never gave no lip though
they hate on Johnny Chimpo
used to be slaves posing in the window
bitcoindark freed us from shitty crypto

Make the .conf file as per the previous posts. That should help you get it done quicker.

Wallet now fully syncd. and working properly.

Thanks

What do you guys think of this

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=760143.new#new

I invested 1 BTCD into that coin, turned it into 54 in 12 hours, so I love it lol.

Awesome

I love when that happens.

tried re- downloading/installing new wallet as per op advice

wallet still didn't sync so I followed Torhammers list of steps and now it is downloading from the start but only catching up with 56000 blocks of transaction history, which can't be right as I remember that the current total no. of blocks is far higher than that

getting increasingly worried as I have 1,902 btcd on my wallet

presumably they're safe as I have a back-up of the wallet.dat file - in fact multiple back-ups on my hard drive and a memory stick (i did a back upo after every transaction)

any further advice gratefully received

thanks

update: having started with 1 active connection the wallet is now showing 0 active connections to the network Huh

You are not an idiot, a lot have had the same problem. The OP should be changed to reflect the following procedure:

1) download new wallet.

2 ) back up old wallet.

3) windows start menu type %appdata% this brings up your roaming folder.

4) navigate to bitcoindark folder

5) make new folder in here called backup, copy all contents of folder here. use this to restore original files if things go wrong.

6) delete everything except wallet.dat and your backup folder.

7) right click, create new text document.

Cool

paste node info from OP

9) save as ... switch choice from "text file" to "all files" bitcoindark.conf

10) go to new wallet download

11) unrar and click on wallet to open. it assembles the missing files in your appdata folder.

12) make a cup of coffee, wait for wallet to sync blockchain

If I have missed anything here, others feel free to jump in.

Thanks for the replies - I'm in the process of following the above.

Just a point of clarification before I go any further:

I've made a back up folder containing everything that is in the Bitcoindark Roaming folder. Here's the list of items.

-----------------------
database
txleveldb
.lock
blk.0001dat
db.log
debug.log
peers.dat
wallet.dat
----------------------

I've unchecked 'Hide extensions for known files types' and checked ' Show hidden files, folders, and drives', as per the advice here:
http://bitcoindark.pw/how-do-i-re-download-the-blockchain/

Unless anyone tells me differently, I'll assume that the above list of items is therefore complete and correct.

I'll wait a while for any replies before going to step 6 on torshammer's list.

Thanks again

That is correct. Might want to make a pot of coffee though. Wink

Yes it will use the same folder. So if you want to do it rename the roaming folder then make a new folder with the same name. Copy the wallet.dat and conf file to the new folder then run the new exe.

Thanks. I think I will stick with my working 5.3.0 until otherwise recommended.

Incidentally, this is one of the entry barriers to crypto. Almost no one would have the patience for all this. I have high hopes for the SuperWallet, but a SuperWeb site will probably be required for mass adoption, along the lines of NXT's secureae site. Or better, a mobile SuperApp.
I'm guessing James has thought about these already

I dont do GUI

If you have a working older wallet and are worried about trying to fix something that isn't broken, is there a reason you should not:

1) Backup your wallet.dat file. (Obviously, there is no reason to do this again because everyone here is smart and already has multiple backups. Right?)

2) Download and un-rar the new wallet from OP in a different location, leaving the existing wallet as it is (though not running).

3) Copy wallet.dat to relevant folder for new download. Maybe play games with .conf, not sure.

4) Run new download. Check it is working. Only then delete old one.

Edit: looks like the different versions would still use the same Roaming folder?

Hi Jon,

Many thanks for your reply.

Just to make sure I don't do anything wrong, the files I can see when I Open C:\Users\"your user name here "\AppData\Roaming\BitcoinDark
are:

-----------------------
datebase
txleveldb
.lock
blk.0001dat
db
debug
peers.dat
wallet.dat
----------------------

I will delete all the above except the wallet.dat file - which I'll back up in case anything goes wrong

As you can see, there's no config file shown. How do I incorporate (for want of a better word) the BitcoinDark.conf Code which appears on the op?

When I'm ready to run the wallet, what will I need to click on to make that happen?

There are idiots and then there are idiots
