You guys have definitely set the lines:-

rpcuser=myname
rpcpassword=mypass
rpcallowip=myip
rpcport=myport
server=1

in your StarCoin.conf (obviously matching the equivalent settings in your miner.conf or bat file/etc) ?

I believe you have to encrypt to get an address right?

I've been having the same problem - I've found that by unlocking the wallet will pick right up where it left off

go into the debug window and type : walletpassphrase your-password-here 60000 true

and that will do it for you...at least it did for me.

Yes, that helped. Thanks a lot!

It seems like you can't solo mine with an encrypted and locked wallet.

I've been having trouble solo mining this coin since a couple of days ago. The wallet synchs fine, except for the "checkpoint too old" message, but my cgminer seems to be unable to submit any found blocks before it turns stale.

It kept saying "Pool 0 communication failure, caching submissions". Then it says the share became stale while retrying, so I couldn't actually receive any of the blocks I found.

I am using the latest wallet client, and this only started happening about 2 or 3 days ago. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with my local network, because I can solo mine everything else fine.

Any ideas?

TIA.

If folks are having troubles getting synced up, my node is up most of the time on 10 Mbit static IP.

addnode=198.204.207.2

thanks I'll add it.

that really did not do anything for me - I was wondering if I could avoid 'downloading' the entire block chain and merely download a file that already has the blockchain in it?

Theoretically, you can download a 'bootstrap' file which will get you started, but generally this is frowned upon because you are trusting a single authority on the integrity of that file, whereas the network is, by design, trusted to itself.

It's something I'd quite like to do for StarCoin, but the method for doing it seems a little vague.

What I can say, is that only this week I have done a complete blockchain sync for StarCoin over a 20Mbit connection in about a day .. obviously not watching it download, that gets tiresome very quickly - but it does sync up correctly. You will see the message 'Checkpoint is old' - this is ok, but there are steps in process to rectify this, and get a new wallet published. As always, patience is key Smiley

I also tried solo mining against the above wallet successfully, and have mined a small quantity of coins this way. Setup is a bit complicated, but there are guides online if you search. Alternatively there is a good stable pool running at starcoin.mining.sexy which you can use.

I'm giving up on the coin - wallet just stop synching....

onto another coin - over and out.

Yes, you can. I did it before. 

Please check this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=259012.msg4049197;topicseen#msg4049197

The user "Contestest" explains how to do it easily. It worked for me Smiley.

hey folks - really need some help.

I'm running on windows 8 - I installed wallet and it's been synching for nearly two days now.

was down to about 135,000 remain blocks - then jumped back up to 320,000 blocks

can someone tell me what going wrong?

is the block chain screwed up on this coin?

thanks - really want to solo mine this coin but can't even get started.



I don't think it's forked ("screwed up"). Do you have the correct addnodes in your config?

You should leave it open for a few hours. Maybe it will start synching completely then.


I reinstalled the wallet and it started at about 786,000 and now it's down to 680,000


I wish there were somewhere you could  just download a constantly updated file to save everyone from having to go through this - you know?

then when they installed the wallet - they'd be up to date

this is what I have :

Quote
addnode=198.58.99.249
addnode=198.58.115.87
addnode=84.45.63.215
addnode=107.170.67.240
addnode=188.226.176.232
addnode=85.25.194.238
addnode=192.81.135.88
addnode=192.241.160.190
addnode=54.186.69.238


Well, most of the time this works just fine. The fact StarCoin isn't really popular anymore, or not as popular as it was before, makes this harder I think.

I can't check my config file now, as I'm not home. I will later on, please contact me for a reminder!

I want to do some solo mining because of the decent block size and low difficulty level

Where are the developers starcoin? what they are doing and whether they are alive in the society?
Maybe it's time to organize a new community ..
