Topic: Slimcoin | First Proof of Burn currency | Decentralized Web - page 5. (Read 137088 times)

Coin control was not a feature of the original Slimcoin clone of Peercoin's clone of Bitcoin 0.6, it was backported later.

By default, the wallet will choose to collate a set of smaller transactions to make up the intended amount. The original clone is of Bitcoin 0.6 and at this early stage of the development of Bitcoin's codebase, this algorithm is very simple, it starts with the smallest tx values in order. As d5000 has already explained, the "Unable to send transactions" means that in order to make up the total you are trying to send, the wallet has to collate a number of transactions that exceeds the encoded limit. The solution is to gradually reduce the UTXO set by sending very small amounts at first, gradually increasing the amount.

Step one: close client, restart with -rescan=1 option. Wait until complete.

Step two: Try sending a small (e.g. 0.25) SLM to an address you control.

Stop here. Please report back on whether you can successfully send a tx of 0.25 SLM to yourself.

If successful, repeat with the amount x 2, continue until "Unable to Send Transaction", go back one step, continue to send that amount repeatedly until all your SLM are collated into a single address.

When I did this, I repeated the exercise, working my way down from my total balance until the tx succeeded.

You might care to back up your opinion by inspecting the source code: https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin and identifying the likely cause of your difficulty.

Hello

The problem is not in the burned coins but in the

Balance = 41.69 SLM (transactions = 75)
Report = 41.69 SLM (transactions = 75)
Coin Control Features = 0 SLM

I have 8GB of memory (more than enough for any currency).

Going back to a previous version is not going to work ... or else I will lose all the coins burned and some that are being confirmed.

And thanks for trying to help, but in my opinion it's from the version code, something is working less well in this version.

I'm just talking here, because I think slimcoin is an interesting currency and maybe try to help improve the code.

I think some of your burnt coins are already decayed thus there is a difference between what's you originally burned and your net burnt coins balance.

If you are still experiencing the issues with the wallet you can try to add some RAM to your computer it helped me greatly once.

Another idea can be to switch to the previous version of Slimcoin wallet. Have you compiled by yourself or just got the binaries from github?

Hello.

Everything is the same.

It seems to me that something is wrong with the "Slimcoin version: v0.6.0.0-g8e9fe2c-alpha".

Example:
Balance = 41.69 SLM (transactions = 75)
Report = 41.69 SLM (transactions = 75)
Coin Control Features = 0 SLM

Net Burnt Coins = 527.92 SLM
Report (Brun Address) = 528.09 SLM

In other words, not all values go to "Coin Control" so the values are not the same in all fields.

You are welcome! But were you able to solve or at least to improve the situation?

thanks

thanks

@emrgohff: For me that looks like that you've many inputs (from mining, staking, PoB minting etc.) in your wallet. Maybe to get an idea you could post the (approximate) number of incoming transactions you received, or how long you are PoB/PoS minting or mining already? (if this is too private you can send me a PM)

If this is the root of the problem, then you should try to consolidate the UTXOs. This means convert many transaction outputs into a few transactions sending them to yourself, which will make your wallet "cleaner" and your Slimcoin client will work faster. The easiest way should be to make a big transaction (as big as possible without the above error) to one of your own wallet addresses first and then use Coin Control to consolidate the rest. Can be a bit tedious but is unfortunately currently not possible automatically. If you need more instructions (don't know about your knowledge level regarding Bitcoin-based coins) simply post your questions.

@emrgohff

Do you have many transactions already done with that wallet (included PoB rewards)?

Maybe you can reduce the number of maxconnections.

Also changing server=1 into server=0 and listen=1 into listen=0 may help.

By the way your slimcoin.conf is partially in Portuguese, at least the last version you've published. I'm not sure slimcoin-qt is able to understand Portuguese  

Please let me know whether any of above suggestion has improved the situation.

RAM = 8 GB

What version of wallet-qt are you using?
How much RAM do you have on your computer?

Hello

The problem is (NOT) solved.

The situation is as follows: After making a move (burning or sending) to be able to make another move, you have to close the client (windows) and open again, which is very uncomfortable and takes a lot of time.

Another flaw that I detected was that the account balances are often not correct (updated) and only remain if the customer is re-started.

Can anyone analyze and correct these situations?

Thanks

@emrgohff please let us know if you've solved

I never got that error, but searching it on the Web this StackExchange thread appears for an old Bitcoin version.

It is possible that you are moving too many "inputs" at once (inputs are created always when you receive coins, from transactions, mining or staking). Have you got many transactions, e.g. from mining or staking and want to move them all at once?*

Try with a smaller amounts, e.g. if you have got many transactions of 10-15 SLM (like they're common for mining)  try to move them in sets of 5000, and if this still doesn't work, of 1000 or even 500 SLM.

*(Explanation according to stackexchange, which requires a little bit of knowledge: this happens when the transaction gets too big. For every input there are about 50-100 additional bytes. The limit for Bitcoin is 100 kB, but I didn't find the limit for Slimcoin).

I tried a deposit into freix, and a withdraw from freix, and both have been running fine.

Hi emrgohff,
this issue is a bit hard for me to understand so I hope someone more senior will help us.

I've found this conversation about the same message in bitcoin-qt: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/error-transaction-creation-failed-218447
Can it be useful for you?


Edit: Here is a bit late, so I'll be back tomorrow to see what has happened and whether I can go on supporting you.

Hello

I'm starting and trying to understand slimcoin.

I've burned coins and everything is ok

Now I was trying to send coins to the FreiExchange exchange but the following message "Error: Transation Creation Failed" appears.

I don't understand why, is help possible?

* slimcoin.conf
