Why new (UltraCoinQT_win32_v7.4.1-9) wallet sync is so long (more than 48h) and when i restart wallet "rescanning" stay forever (2h and still rescanning)?

Yes it does take a long time to resync the whole blockchain - took me 3 days.

The first time I tried to restart also it did take a long time to rescan - but only 15-20 mins (not 2 hrs).

Suggest you shut down and restart your computer - somethings not right there.

Hi all

I've got a problem with the UTC win64bit wallet. It's not able to synch properly; I've sent 5k coins from Bittrex to the wallet but they never arrived, because of the wallet it's not capable of synching.

Have you experienced something like? Any idea how to fix it?

Another question, is it simple to enable the staking with the wallet? Need I just to enable the check in the main window, right after I deposit the coins?

PS: cryptsy too is having issues with the UTC wallet, like us.. devs, would you please give use some informations about this issues?


Thank you in advance

Can anybody from team resolve problem with Cryptsy wallet?
It has flag "network issue" for second week.
Can't withdraw UTC coins from cryptsy and do not want to leave satoshi on that scam exchange.

Ditto...

This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed - I warned the community about this several times recently.


Very grateful for this! Even when i was a little too late to get the funds off before the hard fork, the wallet was still online and my transfer arrived home safely. Ty!

Good one - glad it saved you.

Dont forget - on any exchange - get in, trade, get out. I forget my own advice sometimes - but its the golden rule.

here is one:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12844086

Situation has got worse since then.  Cryptsy is in total disarray at present.  There is no progress with wallets in maintenance due to whatever issue for several months now. Some BTC withdrawals stuck on pending for weeks - some delayed 3-4 days. Tier level is not necessarily important - the coin used for the withdrawal is important.

At last count Cryptsy had over 70 wallets "in maintenance".  I have had DEM trapped for about 7 months now (written off) - Support and Mullick have given up replying to anyone on wallets. Apart from "apologies for the inconvenience"

Some expect a bank run or just shutdown of Cryptsy shortly - BitJohn has quit.  If you are interested - go through the full thread. A lot is bullshit but many of the issues are real and Cryptsy is very HIGH RISK. I did not really believe it at first because I had had no issues with withdrawals - I now suspect that where there is smoke there is fire.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12984497

The chances of anybody getting the UTC wallet back online on Cryptsy are minimal. Steven - prove me wrong hopefully. I could not resist buying a few cheap ones even after my own advice.

I think Steven has an almost impossible task here so don't hold your breath.


Now this at Cryptsy

Cryptsy

Important System Notification

Due to a server failure, all wallets are offline. We will have wallets back online quickly as possible


I think I hear a Fat Lady singing...  Sad

Yeah - its a long song but I can still hear her for sure.  Lots of issues again yesterday with DDos reported and offline twice - then buy/sell orders missing off some coins.

I have been with Cryptsy for a couple of years and never had any problems - even supported them when folk called them Craptsy.

I would not go back there now for any new trades - and I hope I can get my coins off (more than just UTC) that got stuck in wallet maintenance.

I guess Bittrex is the next best place to go to trade UTC?  Anywhere else?

Hello everyone,

There is currently an issue with the wallet that may cause the wallet so terminate randomly, Kracko believes he knows why and is currently trying to isolate the problem and release a fix.

As for developments, I was just looking at the UTC game plan for 2015:

1. Android & iPhone - QR Codes - Lite Wallet - GUI
2. Merchant Services Pluigin
3. One Click Miner
4. NFC Wallet
5. Bitcoin/Ultracoin ATM
6. New Ultracoin Website
7. Hire Developer and Marketers
8. Ultracoin Shop

Now that the new wallet is out, the one click miner shouldn't be too difficult, especially considering we are glued to our current N-Factor. As for the Bitcoin/Ultracoin ATM and NFC Wallet, that will come with more time and money when we have greater investor support. As for the merchant services plugin, third parties seem to be tackling this issue fairly well, the best thing to do is to get more third party support like we have with companies such as coinpayments. Until then, here is our line up for development projects in order of priority:

1. One Click Miner
2. Ultracoin Shop
3. Android & iPhone - QR Codes - Lite Wallet - GUI
4. Hire Developer and Marketers (Currently accepting volunteers)

The one click miner shouldn't be too hard, and should open us up to a many GPU miners who lack experience in crypto-currency. The project was undertaken by a freelance developer a while ago, however, he was never able to bring the project to fruition. Kracko believes he should be able to iron this out fairly quickly. The Ultracoin shop will be undertaken by me and will feature Ultracoin memorabilia including t-shirts, stickers, etc. The next step is the Android & iPhone wallets, this is a big step and something we have put on the back burner, we currently have a working version of an Android wallet, however, the CPU usage is so demanding it is impractical for regular users and will drain battery life just updating the blockchain. We have been looking into lite wallet systems, whereby the user only downloads the blocks necessary to validate transactions that make up the users Ultracoin, thereby eliminating the need to download a substantial amount of the blockchain. This will be our next important step. Lastly, hiring more developers and marketers has always been a goal for our expansion, but the capital required in a non-profit project like this requires a lot of private funds, and we are currently accepting volunteers, but we still have our eyes on potential developers and freelancers who are want to become a part of the team at a reasonable quality to price ratio for their time.

Sincerely,

Steven "Rapture"

ICO? Not even once.
I noticed that the wallet is sometimes 'hanging'
When i have it open and browse around in the menu, or settings, it would suddenly become unresponsive. Immediately the connected clients stop mining, as they cannot rech the wallet anymore. But after a little while, it gets going again and clients normally resume mining.
Never encountered a crash or something. (AMD FX990 chipset/Win7 64 bit)

It did the same to me (getting very unresponsive after a while) but only in Sandboxie. Now that I have the wallet running on one of the mining rigs with a throwaway OS without Sandboxie, it's running perfectly fine for days.

The last version of wallet [UltraCoin version v0.7.4.1-9-g23ef1a4-beta (2015-11-09 07:50:49 -0800)] has terminated with no (visible) reason.
The previous one works very stable under heavy load.

That's what I've found in debug.log

That was a low difficulty peak 0.0438 (compared to 0.06 - 0.08 over the last few days)

The difference may be due to the fact that the peak hashrate has fallen off when it goes to low dif (0.0002)

Less opportunistic miners - stable load

Last diff peak 0.0179 - so its still coming down nicely.

This is looking good!

I suppose the question would be - if its based on a 4 hr average - why are so few UTC being mined?

in 24 hrs it should be 14,400 UTC
Your site reports only 4,510 UTC rewarded in the last 24 hrs (and this is down by about 1000 from the day before).

Is this mining pool only 31% of the total UTC network hash perhaps?  How many solo's and other pools are out there? Is there anyway to find the total network hash rate?
Since the pool is getting every second block - it is at least approx 50% of total hashrate.  Is staking really the other half? So the reward from this pool should be at least 50% of 14,400 = 7,200 UTC (so 4,510 is still way short)

Really I have no expertise in these areas so I will leave it to others with better experience and more info to consider.

There's another pool or solo miner who's mining when difficulty is low.
Just look at last found blocks with min diff=16
Code:
1602774
1602772
1602771
1602770
1602758
1602756
1602755
1602747
1602743
1602742
There's a gap between 1602758 and 1602770. These 11 blocks can't be pure PoS. Therefore somebody else has mined them.

Cheers

ok, i'll monitor it, but I have like 1/9 weight of the Network Weight and still no staking since Nov 7

To be honest I don't get any stakes till I am half or more than the network weight.

Its been like this even before the recent fork. 

I just connect up wallets after 2-4 weeks rest.

is stake mining working for anyone since the fork? I haven't staked anything since Nov 7 and I've got plenty to stake. The stake icon says I'll stake in 12 minutes but the 12 minutes comes and goes without generating any stake or attempt to stake...

Yes its working fine - but I dont get any stakes until its under 3 mins and especially sub 1 minute it hums
