I think coin names will become valuable like domain names, so it's good to keep this one going.

nodes?

I have a node running that accepts inbound connects, but the last block in the chain is dated 14th April, and I haven't had any connections for a couple of weeks... so I'm not sure whether it's that everyone has stopping mining, or I've been disconnected from the rest of the network for some reason.

Is there anyone higher than height 3988487 ?

Very funny.  Grin

I have been mining STR (almost) from the beginning.
Better get familiar with the history of this coin.

A few days ago, I have been able to prove the instability of the staking-algo (read my post).
This is also, I believe, what happened to the POS block generation in late 2013. It simply stopped.
Time to abandon staking completely. Just go POW.
BTW, there is no option 'staking=0.'

Always wait until your wallet is synchronised.  Cool


Not nice what you have done !   Angry



Warning :

Instead to synchronize/download the right blockchain, someone make nodes with his wrong blockchain :  84.189.0.24:32839 , 84.189.0.24:32886 , 84.189.0.24:32893. Must be banned.

They can't harm the valid blockchain, and no ones wallet will syncronize with that, but it seems they slowdown the network, and users get message : "wallet not syncronized" .

212.119.171.18:18216    is the genuine node for now.

There is an issue with the staking-mechanism that needs to be addressed.
I have a working copy of the blockchain from 2 May 2017.
A few days after the above date, I did a large transaction to another wallet.
The client went off-line for a while.

When I started it again, it went into staking the entire sum and got stuck.
I also tried to mine again, but the peer on the other side didn't accept my blocks.

Recently I experimented with a truncated version of the chain.
I used one client for mining. Another one was staking for hours.
..
A huge amount of coins disappeared.
checkwallet didn't report any errors.

The old chain from 2017 now has been mining for two days.
So far, no POS blocks since I do not dare put any old wallets on-line again - just in case.
I believe it once was planned to get rid of staking altogether.




Of course, making transaction, staking or mining without previously completing blockchain syncronization will not work.
New mined blocks were not valid, transactions also rejected.

"checkwallet" is only checking the integrity of the file not the amount in the wallet.

To fix your problems :

-backup your wallet
-download blockchain https://mega.nz/#F!BcYWGIAD!gqtg334lPCN-CHwVDoRsyw  and latest release  https://github.com/strcoin/starcoin/releases/tag/v1.7.1.0-str
-add a copy of your wallet in starcoin folder
-also in starcoin.conf file must add staking=0 if you want to stop staking in order to make transactions with all your coins
-for wallet check, and recover all your valid coins and mined blocks, start with -rescan option
  ( path/starcoin-qt.exe -rescan ) , it will take awhile but you will obtain the exact and real state of your wallet.
-if you did spread coins in many wallets, do that for each one

Don't do anything (transaction, mining) before completing blockchain syncronization.

Recently I experimented with a truncated version of the chain.
I used one client for mining. Another one was staking for hours.
I made a transaction that included a large amount of newly-mined blocks to a third wallet.
The first time, it worked.

Then I tried this again. The second client suddenly ceased producing POS blocks.
A huge amount of coins disappeared.
checkwallet didn't report any errors.

I then copied a backup of the blockchain as well as the wallet into the StarCoin folder.
The client loaded the blocks, and all the coins were retrieved.
However, there was no staking going on.

The old chain from 2017 now has been mining for two days.
So far, no POS blocks since I do not dare put any old wallets on-line again - just in case.

Sorry if I sound negative, but I only try to help.

I think we must remake build for actualize checkpoint.


I've done actualized checkpoints and recompiled my wallet.  Smiley

I sent to "Pull requests"  on GitHub the necessary modifications for updated checkpoints,
maybe someone with granted acces will do those modifications in the source.

later edit :

Also, about the wallet message :
"WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers of the issue."
this worked for me :  https://github.com/PaycoinFoundation/paycoin/commit/350d63f54697d669d43e6fefa26f37326c658bcc

My wallet looks fine now but i don't have access to modify the source on GitHub, so who can maybe will do it  Wink        https://imgur.com/a/1XNbp
Till then everyone can do the modifications and recompile their wallet.
However, i can provide Ubuntu wallet : https://mega.nz/#F!4IAXUBQA!dn4DP55KsQjT5ueNCf9o9g

Both these peers are at vastly different heights (2.2M vs 3.9M), so hopefully one is just a bit behind the other.

My blockchain 3.9M too, so i guess i uploaded the right one  Wink

Enjoy it and start making StarCoins asap   Grin

later edit : i just found a bonus block = 682 str instead of 12.5 str, it's that fun or what ?  Smiley Cheesy Grin   :  https://imgur.com/a/ae9eS

Do you have new build? Old too slowly.

wallet v1.7.1.0 is indeed taking 50 min to start on my computer, but then everything is ok   Smiley

Mine didn't take as long, but I only had 800k blocks in my database...  Cool I guess a refresh of the source with leveldb (which has almost zero startup time) is required.


what peers do you have ?

I've now upgraded to 1.7 and I'm syncing from a single peer. Quite effortless, I expected I'd have to sync from scratch (I don't have blockchain backups from prior to the death block in 2014!) but 1.7 picked up the fork point and is properly syncing.
