Hey All,
You ALL know who I am and all know me to be an honest guy with some good info (usually...NO joke tho, I've been bit before too). Right now, I will do my best to answer some of the last few comments made here in BCT concerning Flycoin and it's wallet.
The latest wallet (v2.0.0) will show, in '
some' of the anti-virus software in todays' market, as containing malicious code. IT DOES NOT!! Trust me on this one. I wouldn't put my reputation on the line in sayings it is a 'clean' program if that was not the case. So many '
real' coding issues arisire, and so quickly, that even if you D/L todays' virus update list...it is already out-of-date. Kinda like buying a new car...it is worth 'X' amount until you sign the contract to buy....You lost 5% (or more) before it leaves the lot. The different companies peddling anti-virus software are just trying to 'cover their ass', so better to say it is contaminated than...duhhh..we don't know. Mark it bad.
Bottom line...FLY v2.0.0 is clean to run and when a false/positive 'virus/malicious' issue, error, message 'pops up', just tell it that it is OK to execute. You will only need to do this once. Most AV software does another 'quick scan' after it opens and sets it into the exempted list. Disclaimer: I can only stand behind these statements if you D/L from an OFFICAL source; ie. the OP listed here, or
http://www.walletbootstraps.com/ .. I know those to be trusted sources.
Another problem which seems to be plaguing some users has to do with 'Staking'. Everyone: this is extremely simple...I am currently at block 66733 and NOT ALL of the changes take effect until Block 67000. All you need do is point your mouse at the bottom, right corner of the wallet. It shows the block number you have last synced. ALL changes from the OLD wallet apply until block 67000 is reached.
Lastly: If ANYONE is still having a problem with the install of FLY 2.0.0...
please check to see what the version is which you are attempting to update!! Flycoin v2.0.0 is updating the last, past version FLYcoin 1.9.3. There is NO NEED to wipe out your /user/appdata/roaming folder of flycoin. A very simple 'cut/paste' or 'drag/drop' of the FlyCoin-qt.exe is enough. Anyone may PM me here @BCT for further assistance. Disclaimer: NO PROMISES...but, if you did these simple directions...I will never hear from you. LOL!! I will try to help others...again, no promises, but I AM pretty good at figuring out a wallet install. My BIGGEST, MOST IMPORTANT piece of advice.......BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP!! Hope that sunk in!!!
Looking forward to all the new developments that FLY is coming up with AND...
I hope I never hear from you about problems...LOOOOL,
CapnBDL
