Topic: ECCoin (ECC) Takeover by Trusted-Cryptos Team [Griffith] - page 28. (Read 91207 times)

I've uploaded the blockchain, maybe it can help somebody: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dhwadurb77avqoi/eccoin.rar

Good. =)

I am doing benchmark for a full update time lapse. This might be something where improvement can take place against other coins. Old blockchains are becoming main examples of sustainability and need adaptation over all issues into the future.

Maybe now it will make sense for "higher parallelism of the downloads from block chain information from peers". Let me rephrase...

- Big block chains need protection against recovery - that is usually made over security but some part over the "get all block chain information" will also play some role (so it matters to download block chain information faster in order to protect that information).
- Higher parallelism from clients will mean better communication from ALL network - assuming internet will continue to evolve it will be required in the future to overcome single threaded p2p communication.
- Faster recovery of one client into a very big network will mean better return of those users to the network - as this will mean... if they keep their keys safe... any device can loose the wallet and still reconstruct the wallet again in a much shorter time.

Many other advantages... but how can this be done!? =) I have some ideas.. but I will sort them out with devs.

I will need some time to look into the code and seek for where this can actually be done. But the idea is over ... just a little teaser...

- POS @ rate of 1 block per second!
- Dynamic confirmation rates for POS algos (POS is tricky to confirm in the real term... to improve security of confirmations is still a must.. cause it will ensure better security against forks, miss usage, bad intentions of altering the source code to damage the network, etc).

Feel free to comment.

BarTeam, mdtspain, thanks, guys, looks like this peers.dat file has helped: the wallet began to sync. The progress is going very slowly, but now it is at least connected to the network.

Hi, maybe i can help, I have uploaded my peers.dat in a zip file. You can Download it here

Can you also confirm that you are using wallet 2.1.0.0

Thanks

*****Note for Griffith******
I think you didn't restart the ECC BE after the security updates

I have just restarted my re-sync. I will let you know the results in a few hours. But 0 connections is a problem... (can you send me lines from debug.log stating the chain hash?)

EDIT:
Benchmark - Full Synchronization
Startup time: 10/18/14 20:52:10 UTC - Synchronization @ 93% - 3 active clients -> then I ended up like you...


Resolution being baked... For me it did not work to substitute the peers.dat because I think I ended up somewhere in another chain... There are still some guys running old wallets!!!!  ARHRHRH!

EDIT #2: After 3 retries... it got synchronized (after the last checkpoint it takes more time to sync). The reason for the failures might be the nodes that did not update yet. I recommend to hold a good backup of all the chain. Just in case you have to resync the all thing again, you just need to restore that backup and restart the wallet.

I had already done this, of course. I've been waiting for more than 24 hours for the wallet to sync, it have passed ~70% and now "0 active connections" is shown. Restarting the wallet doesn't help.

I agree it's fine.   What I meant was that you don't need it for the wallet to start well and sync. But you will need it for the specific options you want to give to the wallet of course.

correction: the conf file is fine. i actually have it so it auto generates a correct file for you. there arent very many sync problems. there are a few listed on the OP but it takes like 2 minutes to get past these. and once you are you are fine.

Again... no need for uploading.. Just delete all but wallet.dat. (this includes peers.dat).. and it will work. Don't use .conf file.

Please upload full blockchain. There are several sync problems.

I do agree and like your vision. ECC definitely should have its own exchange and ECC holders will then become shareholders from that exchange... Very nice idea and wish it will become a reality soon. 

This would be amazing, yes please do it

Bter.com!!!

What a jump!

Remove all but wallet.dat and re-sync. The explanation for this is that if you have peers.dat with old clients that did not update yet.. you will get stuck over their "bad chain" information.

I M INNNNN! =)

I have a same issue.. anybody could help me in this, please?
the restart didn't helped and I stucked at 219729

wow this is nice to see whats the plan with ECC

I like, how you're thinking! To have the exchanges right in your wallet, is a definite attraction for the shareholder to the coin.
Would love to see that for ECC. Others are trying to implement this into their wallets and I think  this could be a new way, to avoid
the exchange pages which every now and then messed up "a little". You could finally be able not to own OR trade a coin,but to own AND trade it. That's why we're here,right?! We don't want to give our coins to a shady exchange, which might lose them (just like a bank might.. xD).

That sounds very good to me....it´s a good way to draw attention to our coin(s)....i am up for that +1

The past months we have been working on stabilzing the ECC network and the wallet. To be honest it was a big mess and with any solution came an other problem. Griffith did a great job in my opinion and even that he got frustrated many times, HE didn't give up like hostmaster did.

Now to tell you more about the in wallet trading....
If we can realize to transform the ECC wallet to a trading platform that makes it easy to trade on 4 exchanges (or more) then we have the benefit that our network will become stronger, let me explain...

The trading platform will attrack people that don't have any ECC, because they want to use it as an easy alternative to the webbrowser, easy because the exchanges are available by changing a tab. These people will secure the ECC network, because it is a wallet that will function like a node.

This will be the first stage of the in wallet trading.

Everybody is looking for a use of the coins in the real world, for me this use is under our noses and nobody seems to see it, or is not capable to create it. What I would like to see is that ECC will have it's own Exchange and that the holders of ECC coins will be the shareholders from that exchange, receiving dividend every 3 months from the fees generated by the trades. The % paid to each shareholder will depend on the coins they have in there wallet.

BUT....this is MY vision, we need to agree on this to make it happen.
