Just a suggestion, in the next update, can we truncate the blockchain so we don't have to have the whole thing?

I don't know if that's ever been tried before.
I'm thinking it hasn't lest bitcoin would have done it long ago.

Can't remember exactly where it is, but there's a guy that offers bootstrap.dat file for an awful lot of coins.
That would speed up the initial syncing of a brand new wallet.

hi

am busy right now, but will endeavour to build a new mac wallet in next day or so.
if i forget feel free to PM me Roll Eyes

or if there's any reason why i shouldn't, feel free to PM me as well. i will see a PM. i mightn't notice a post here ..

great news! i know we have a couple of people that really need this one.

I'm one of them. I am currently running Windblows 10 in Virtualbox on my mac so I can use the new wallet. Am currently syncing...Slowly.....
Just a suggestion, in the next update, can we truncate the blockchain so we don't have to have the whole thing? a year of microstaking has made this a monster. Times this by a half a dozen coins, and...well... how in the world are we ever going to convince folks that crypto is anything more then a PITA??

When I download the new wallet and run it, will it automatically use the blockchain from the old wallet?

Yes it will.

Thanks. I just did it.

I saved my Tek files located in the Roaming folder as a precaution. When I ran the new wallet I was asked whether I wanted to replace the files of my existing wallet. I clicked on YES TO ALL and it worked. The files in the existing Roaming folder were left untouched. The new wallet continued the blockchain from where my previous one left off. All my coins were intact. The whole thing took just a few minutes.

Tek doesn't have a testnet, but the code is capable of it. I actually think it's a good idea to implement in the future, but yeah, you can safely ignore that.

Not that it's any big deal, or even worthy of yet another update, but I just enabled testnet in my latest TEK build.

Built from the latest source on the github for a windows QT wallet.
Getting an error about a missing genesis block for the testnet.
Clicked "ignore" and the wallet seems to be working fine, and syncing up "very" slowly.(it's an old coin)

depends how worried you are about running a version with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbleed

Has anyone ever seen a "proof of concept" exploit relating to the heartbleed bug?
And no, I'm not trying to play down the danger of a potential exploit, I'm just curious to know whether there's been a usable implementation that exploits the heartbleed flaw in the earlier versions of openssl.

How crucial is the change to the new clean wallet? I'm on the 10th day of staking with 2.4.1.0 non-clean wallet?

Could I wait till after staking in 20+ days time, or should I do the change to the cleaner wallet now?

depends how worried you are about running a version with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbleed
upgrading wont change your coinage, so i see no reason to not use the new version. It wont have to re-download the chain or anything.

For people like me who know little about technical stuff, how do you do an upgrade?

just download the new windows wallet and use it instead of the old one.

the source and version is the same, we had heartbleed bug in the last windows compile, so you might want that new clean one instead. https://mega.nz/#!uNRQGLba!RX3OF6l-nPUQ_J6wZoarHMM-YrH-Tv5s2ek1t4Tdn8M

TEKcoin windows wallet https://mega.nz/#!vRBD2BTS!-I1YcIvsIh7Jw_hJ7KS4l6L9zVUPLJPKzR8n1R5WZmc

might want to be careful sending coins around for a bit it looks like many people are still running old versions

Thanks Noise23 & thundertoe!

But got an error on Mega side: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. Please give some alt link to download a wallet.

This is a clean new compile for windows that everyone should use to avoid the ssl bug thanks Zoot. https://mega.nz/#!uNRQGLba!RX3OF6l-nPUQ_J6wZoarHMM-YrH-Tv5s2ek1t4Tdn8M

Let me get this right and just so everyone is reading off the same page, your link is for a 3rd new wallet?

First there was 2.4.0.0, then 2.4.1.0, and now a new wallet to avoid the SSL bug?

1. As I say before, "Old client can be on main chain and connected to new client if not lost connection. Only on initially connection old client will be rejected. And if there is one old client in net, all old and new clients work together." I know that, because use it in new Cubits-QBT hardfork and found while testing.

2. Everyone who can compile wallet himself, may take old code and just change version to 60009.

3. After some time, new parameters for minimum stake value become microstake relatively average stake.

you have explored every possible coding change that can be done, that is amazing.

If there's a way to remove microstaking from the wallet please do it. If not, then it's part of the TEK landscape, so just accept it.

At the heart of crypto currencies is the reality of maximising behaviour by individual actors in a trustless ecosystem.

Complaining about microstaking makes as much sense as complaining about ASCIC's.

It really has nothing to do with morality, or good guys and bad guys.

+100

I'd like to see the difficulty go down so I can get a bigger stake, but if it stays up then that's just how it is. If difficulty stays high, atleast the coin supply will stay down. Less coins isn't a bad thing.
