May the force bit with you.
Has anyone else using the Windows wallet noticed that it doesn't open fast anymore? When Tranz first released the update where he said he had addressed a problem that was slowing the loading process, my wallet opened lightning fast at first - I think like 10-20 seconds.

My computer had to be restarted yesterday and I noticed the hbn wallet took a really long time to open.

it works really fine for me - 15 to 20 secs to open

Yes, the only time it is slow, is if you set it to start up with Windows.  I think windows simply limits the CPU usage until all other process are loaded. I notice the same thing with BitCoin Core as well.

I've had 2 crashes in the same situation, trying to send a transaction and the client quits

Code:
Application Specific Information:
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type std::length_error: basic_string::_S_create

it's not a big deal, just wanted to mention it

Which OS is this? And is your wallet encrypted?


I thought I mentioned it  Roll Eyes

It's OS X (Mavericks) and yes it's encrypted

Hmm ok.

I think there is still a small bug, that if the wallet is encrypted but unlocked, and you send coins. It first locks the wallet, but still tries to run stake. If you don't type in your password quickly enough, the wallet could crash.   If you cancel it, it simply locks the wallet and stops the stake.

A work around, would be to lock the wallet manually first, then send the coins, then unlock when done. Or you could use the rpc command walletpassphrase without the mintonly switch. This will allow all sends, without first locking the wallet, and prompting for password.

I have only thought this could be the case, but didn't see a real world issue till now. I'll look more closely at this.

Thanks unick.

Ok, it happened twice but I didn't pay attention to what was happening, I just noticed the crash report!

Like I said it's no big deal, I will try and see if I can reproduce the error keeping in mind what you just said.

Unfortunately it is doing that all the time  Sad I have libboost 1.54...do you think it is worth to try upgrading to 1.55?

carloss

Hello Carloss. Does this happen only during initial synchronization with the network? Or all the time.

If all the time, there is a known bug in older version of boost, which can cause the wallet to go out of sync.  I am using 1.55 without any issues.

If it is only during the initial block chain download, then restarting once should be more then enough. I occasionally have to do this when doing the init sync. But even on my Pi, I didn't have to do it once. I just started it up and let it go..

Its worth a shot. If this doesn't fix it, let us know. Might need to run the client in -debug mode and give me a bigger log file to help diagnose it.  So far this is the first of this specific situation happening.

Hello,

I have often problems with the wallet (hobonickelsd, running on Ubuntu Server 14.04, compiled from latest git source).

It is often stuck on something like this (snip from debug.log):
Code:
05/07/14 10:13:40 ProcessSyncCheckpoint: pending for sync-checkpoint 0000000002bde252b09a26e27d6c96d5594ca6340d6ff2de5138ca8a1f90d715

and it takes 100% CPU for a very long time or almost indefinitely without doing anything apparently useful.

When I restart it, it can run for few hours or even days fine before this happens again.

Any idea?

I was going to say I seriously doubt they are keeping the bulk of the coins in a hot wallet. There have also been issues/exploits with malleability concerning POS coins... remember the whole blackcoin CryptoRush debacle?

Do you have a link to this?  I'd like to read about it.

This is the main thread that was started about it back in March, just keep in mind you have to filter through all the lies and bullshit that CR tried to push on people. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-blackcoin-statement-from-cryptorush-very-shocking-information-529779

There was a discussion of how the issue with malleability related to POS coins was updated by the major exchanges like Cryptsy early on so they didn't have any huge problems.

Ok thanks for the information.

So a the main issue was they were using the "accounting" system perhaps incorrectly, and not using any other method to double check inputs/outputs.  In addition to that they were allowing the hot wallet to stake, thereby casing even more confusion about it's users balances.
