1 - I downloaded again, and draws on the site c:\ exocoin_beta
2 - I clicked yes in the update screen
3 - He created the tmp folder and downloaded the files.
4 - Error, he could not move (err_update.txt)
"Welcome to eXocoin updater V1.0 - this program will update your version to the current one
Exit now if that is not what you want
wait 5 seconds ...
ERROR: failed to move "C: \ exocoin_beta \ tmp \ chain \ 1.block" to target "C: \ exocoin_beta \ chain \ 1.block". Please check permissions and restart tmp / update.exe
Stop. "
5 - I manually moved the files in tmp for to the c:\ exocoin_beta
6 - I clicked on "coin" and opened showing 5 active connections.
But I do not know what to do after that. Any clicking "Generate 10,000 EX" as in New Adress and placing a passphrase nothing happens.
Yeah well there are no errors poping up within the GUI yet so if any error occured it will show up in the CMD as of now.. definatly going to change this in the next days. You'll need an address before clicking the button or an error will show up in the cmd. As for creating the first address: Your password must be complex enough (you must have at least 10 chars, you must have small and capital letter, number and special char). I guess your passphrase was not complex enough. Please try again.
Thanks for reporting the updater output and thanks for manually moving the files (that is perfectly fine, the updater does not do anything additionally). Going to check that. #edit: alright, I guess I know the cause of the error. The exocoin/chain folder was non-existing if you just got a fresh copy. So the updater should create the folder if not existing. I will change that now.
As I can see in the block explorer tab there have been 4 transactions since the update stored in the chain (well there are more but those were generated from us). So it is/should be working at the moment. All server (6) are running and are synced right now. [ok the 6th server is somewhat special so it is ok if your client only shows up 5 connections at the moment].
I tested again and now the update worked, downloading, extracting and moving the files correctly.
Could also create the account, now including special characters. I believe it will soon have a feedback error on the screen and other validations.
Just could not generate 10.000EXO. I believe it is because the nodes off, hence no active connections. Am I right?
Another thing, if I open more than one account on my local network (I'm using VMs) they should talk to each other (p2p) and increase the active connections or is there only an indication of connections with nodes. Exist configuration file that I can add nodes or is within the compiled program?
Yes you are right. Thanks for this information. Those VMs should connect to each other if both are connected to the network (they will exchange ips between all nodes and retry to connect to nodes all 10 minutes). So after max 10 minutes they should see each other and the active node count should increase by 1. Since network is down at the moment that is obviously not possible. But yes, you can add peers: go to debug window and type in "add peer IP:PORT" in one of the VMs. If that does not work directly type thereafter "check peerlist". For more information type in "?".
Note that firewall rules may interferre. You also can manually edit "peers.exo" file with notepad. But do this only when program is not running (!)
Note
System : Windows 7
active connections is 0 when I test
-After i update the client successful, I open the client by double click coin.exe, the cmd console "failed to read in wallet file or you do not have any address so far , failed to load block" repeatedtly, yes I dont generate the address, but the client cannot load block normally(the active connectionis is 0 when I test ). Then , when i generate a address, I restart again,it load the block quickly.
- important problem
Then, I delete the wallet.exo manually, a system(windows 7) alert dialog pop up, it says "exo_coin(bitcointalk.org profile) has stopped the work, would like to close this program or debug this program", however, the client can open normally, when i click "close this program", just the alert dialog closed. I test this case only three time, just the first time occured.
- block UI
There are so many event can block UI , e.g:generate wallet at first time ,generate 10,000 EXO, report bug...
- suggestion
when we unzip the client, its file organization is un-order, can we put some third library into other folder/directory, like library or bin. If you do this,
thats friendly for us. I hope you can fix this in some day, I know you are busy.
I think its important to put the wallet.exo into other child folder, or else this file can be found and deleted easily.
Have report the bug by client OPEN BETA.
Good luck.
Thanks for your detailed report. The blocked UI ist not very user friendly, I agree. We are going to add loading popups or asyncron operations. Not sure what would be more appreciated (?). Also we will add popups indicating that an error occured to be more user friendly.
active connections is 0 here too.
Please, someone post any IP to connect
Network is down at the moment. sorry
Alright we need some time to check the error logs of the server and personal alpha clients. With the next update we hope to have a working client that will not stop after some hours. Until then the network will not come up again.
Roadmap:-
next beta version (and "boot" of network) ETA 5-7 days with block time 5 or 10 minutes [achieved goal for this version: fully working chain sync and no crash, GUI popups on error, working verify signature dialogue]
- website/logo renewal this week
- ETA launch still 30th April without decentral market
- ETA mining 2 weeks after launch
- ETA decentral market: 3 weeks after launch
- release of most parts of the source code: before launch
Thanks for all reports here or via report tab in the GUI. Checking everything out now. Processing of 2nd stage investments will take much time as well the next days (got 50PMs today). So please be patient for an answer.
Thanks for your understanding and have a nice day
