Topic: STAR COIN [STR] - The coin with bonus STAR blocks - page 7. (Read 143618 times)

is there a working wallet download available... i might have str left in my wallet.dat but cant find any working download

This happened to me and I simply deleted my old blockchain and added the new nodes to my .conf file. Synced up fine.

As for uploading a blockchain, it could take me a few days to get it onto a torrent, as I am swamped with projects.

Well I was trying to set up a pool but I can't download the blockchain for whatever reason. Is there any way someone could upload the blockchain somewhere and I could download it and add it to Starcoin? I am getting the error "Warning: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for the blockchain to download, or notify developers."

If you do so please advise. I still have no word on if their is an active development team or if this is a coin in limbo.

If Starcoin gets up and running again I will run a node and p2pool for everyone plus throw in my own hashes.

If anyone can make a pool for this I have lots of hash I can throw at it.

I swear I didn't know this coin existed till seeing it on the front page just then

The only STR pool I know is hash-to-coins.com
But STR is down for maintenance since Mar 27, 2015 at 22:20
I guess they are waiting for Cryptsy 

Ok..so the wallet and nodes where VERY helpful. Thank you. I checked the pools on the OP and they are not working. Anyone know of any working pools?

It looks like there is neither an explorer nor any pool remaining. But it would be great if you could get the wallet running again on Cryptsy.
Here is some blockinfo, so you can be sure to take the right blockchain.

A single peer has left for me:

Here is some info about a block which was found today.
Using commands getblockhash and getblock you may check for the block. And others may confirm as well to work on the same chain.


I hope that helps.

Im receiving reports of some deposits not posting. Is there a block explorer or working pool with chain statistics?

I see there is a new repository. I may have reverted to an older client during recent infrastructure changes as I show the older repo reflected in our database. I havent synced with the new client again yet but im assuming the broadcast checkpointing is active after the latest commit? That would explain the stall in our chain after it successfully synced for some time. I should have starcoin restored in the next few days.

Cryptsy is now exchanger which has a high status for alt coins.
Many coins dream to get back up for sale.
You must understand that if the team in the near future will not be The formed, they can remove coin from the trading and everyone will forget about STR.
Should at least create the official website.
Foolish to try to mining the coins secretly waiting to reduction of awards and that would then declare itself..

That area is blank for 5 I checked, including LTC and DOGE.  I don't think it's used for anything or means anything.

Why does the Cryptsy starcoin info page show a bank for starcoin markets?

There is a starcoin market here.

Hopefully someone will post updates. I really want to see something happen with this coin, so I keep checking back every week for updates.

I agree the change from STR to STAR is definitely in order. I tried purchasing a few on cryptsy a few months back but never got a confirm, they returned my dogecoin.

In May/June 2014, mcpackin published a pair of updates with help from bee7, veremit and sirnubbles.  Mcpackin hasn't posted at all since June.  Bee7 hasn't posted here since June, but has posted about Graincoin in February (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10338499).  infinitevs appears to be on the team too.  He posted in January 2015 that there would be a new revision in the next month or two.

9 months is a really long time to not post about your own coin.  It would be nice to hear from mcpackin or bee7, or at least an update from infinitevs, but I wouldn't give up hope yet.  Infinitevs said they were busy with work commitments, and they're really not that late yet, but a little communication would be great and there is work that needs to be done to keep the coin alive.

I think Cryptsy is the only exchange that has StarCoin listed, and I don't think their wallet is working right.  I think they may be using an old wallet that had problems.  And while our dev is working with Cryptsy, changing StarCoin from STR to STAR would probably be a good idea to prevent confusion with Stellar, which is STR on Poloniex and Bittrex.  And we need a block explorer.  And the checkpoint warning has persisted for like a year.  It should get fixed.

I think the only think I might be able to help with on that list is maybe possibly setting up a block explorer, but I don't have a server to host it on, and @infinitevs said they were working on that anyway.

@ Henle do you happen to know who the current developer is? I would like to get in touch with him by email.

My wallet did sync btw, I hadn't opened it in some time but added the updated nodes and left it running overnight.

There are windows zip files in github:
32 bit - https://github.com/strcoin/starcoin/releases/download/v1.7.1.0-str/starcoin-1.7.1.0-win32.zip
64 bit - https://github.com/strcoin/starcoin/releases/download/v1.7.1.0-str/starcoin-1.7.1.0-win64.zip

edit - it takes a long time for the wallet to open, so just be patient.  Just let it run over night.  If you have addnodes, it will open and sync eventually. There is probably a ton of bloat in the block chain from millions of .001 STR minting transactions.

For nodes, I'm using:
addnode=107.170.3.87
addnode=95.27.95.182
addnode=173.208.172.242
addnode=50.149.31.242
addnode=192.99.13.127
addnode=54.209.148.72
addnode=201.213.232.241
addnode=124.198.136.100
addnode=107.170.195.237
addnode=74.208.250.49
addnode=198.199.110.176

Good luck

Instructions for building found here: https://github.com/starcoinproject/starcoin/blob/master/doc/readme-qt.rst

As far as I know, the website is down and no one seems to be maintaining this project well.

In the meantime I found the cryptsy wallet status page
https://www.cryptsy.com/pages/status

It looks like cryptsy has lost connection to other up to date nodes. The last received block is quite old.
I have opened a support ticket at cryptsy. They are working on that issue...
