I didn't take the averaging out that far when I gave my number- I stand corrected.  I messed up.  I apologize.  I'm fixing it and I need your help- everyone's help.

If you want to help make things better please throw some hash at the test server that is running the new retarget algorithm at http://utctest.tumblingblock.com.  If you already have an account at utc2 you can use that to login.  It's an isolated fork of the production chain with a different retarget.  I need as much hash as we can throw at it to test it as my two rigs aren't enough to budge it about minimum.   The retarget is set to 10 minutes.  At end state the retarget will be from 1-3 days.  I am testing to make sure that the retarget keeps things close to a 30 second block time.




@Kracko
We have mined less than 2000 blocks, which makes less than 0.69 blocks a minute!
Which makes this a total lie:

If you look at the overall average we are still putting out a block every 30 seconds.
Lets not forget the  one million ORPHANS!  Sad

How do you want me to be happy, I can bet that I have mined more than you have developed crypto, and Steven marketed restaurants,... I meant to say crypto. Smiley



@BorisWCR
As a noob yoy should listen to your older sisters say:
Delete everything in your old Ultracoin app data folder except wallet.dat
Just type  %Appdata%\Ultracoin in the addressbar and you will be redirected there.
You can do it before or after you install the new version, the Deamon (the program itself) and the wallet are on separate locations.

It probably will be as there was no uninstall with it.  You can delete v1041 executable as it will not do you any good at this point.

Thanks for your answer Kracko.... so as noob I have to do this :

- I close my wallet v1041 (whit my 10k coins in the wallet)
- I delete nothing from any sort of files of Ultracoin wallet v1041
- I run this new update http://www.tumblingblock.com/ultracoin_733_win32.zip
- When I run the new update it will automatically find the old v10411 version and it will update this "old" version to the latest version
- It will automatically update the new blockchain

- But what then with the old v1041, it will be still on the pc ?





Rapture/Steven where are you Huh

You are urgently needed at this moment to give good information and guidelines about the update procedure of the new wallet  !?

Noobs as me are faithful to UTC but need help.... !!!!




Agree here

Its important that we have clear instructions on the wallet update procedure - and what to expect in terms of process and time to update/recode etc. Delete peers? reindex in command line etc etc?

urgently needed please Steven



Kracko a noob question about the wallet update. Please answe me.

I have the former version of the wallet V1041 on my laptop and i have some coins in the wallet.

Now arrived the new wallet version for an important update. http://[Suspicious link removed]/fljnhn

Can i just run this new update while the "old" V1041 is closed ?

And wil the new update run automaticly over the old version and update it the old version automaticly ?

Thanks for your answers....


 

Why you just dont read this forum?

Idid all this except addnode..idont need it.. Working well.

As king_pin allready writed:

The best way to install the wallet is:

1. Delete all files in %Appdata%\Ultracoin except wallet.dat (this is whre your coins are!)
2. Install ultracoin_733_win32
3. Create a file in %Appdata%\Ultracoin called ultracoin.conf
4. Add nodes to the file (just add his text to it):
          addnode=31.220.0.203
          addnode=192.99.8.7
          addnode=198.27.82.163


This are the addresses of the pools.

If you get stuck on some block, restart the wallet, it usually helps.

Don't delete the files in that directory!  Someone might accidentally delete their wallet.dat.  The existing files are used in the upgrade process.  It is much faster to pull the chain from the previous versions blockdata file on your hard drive.  Once you start the new wallet it does this automatically.

Here is a guide I put out a while ago that may help newbies: http://ultracointalk.org/b3/how-installupdate-your-wallet/170/msg449#new

I believe the new wallet is compiled into a .exe and .msi and doesn't overwrite the wallet.dat by default, but I would ALWAYS create a backup just in case. The guide should help out.

hi everyone - had to chime in, just because I'm not seeing a very important step in all of the posts describing how to install/upgrade wallets. Please don't forget to backup your wallet.dat before you do anything, regardless of whether or not you delete files.

Can they write a simple step by step guide to update wallet.

Seems even the experienced like king_pin don't know EXACTLY what to do.

Thanks for the updates team, keep them coming. Appreciate everyone is busy, but communications is a must, 2 mins once a day/when something happens, is all it needs.

I'll leave a couple of 750ti's pointed at UTC and will see what the future holds.

Can I send UTC-Coins from utc2.tumblingblock.com to my Wallet or Cryptsy? Is it safe?

to you wallet should be ok if you have new wallet installed. Test couple coins at first, dont transfer all. Idont know if Cryptsy have new wallet.
The Problem is, I can not send only a couple of coins via this pool, if I started the pool send all coins together.

I have a new blockchain indexed with the wallet Version v0.7.3.3-g13-gab29126-beta

I tested and working for me.

Thanks for this king_pin.  

A nice simple step by step guide which will help the many newcomers to UTC over the last few months.  Its an assumption by many here that most everyone knows all this stuff - but they don't and they are scared of screwing up and losing coins. Some will learn new things - some will just leave with a sour taste of UTC after they manage to move their coins again.

Personally I am not going to do any transactions or update wallets until the next hard fork and wallet update is out and tried and tested - confirmed good and mining/network stable.

One other step we might add for clarification - when you unzip the zip file you get at .exe and an .msi file - which one do you run to update? People are scared of trial and error learning with coins at stake  i.e.

1. Delete all files in %Appdata%\Ultracoin  except wallet.dat (this is whre your coins are!)
2. Install ultracoin_733_win32 - that is run the msi? file (or the exe file)
3. Create a file in %Appdata%\Ultracoin called ultracoin.conf
4. Add nodes to the file (just add his text to it):
          addnode=31.220.0.203
          addnode=192.99.8.7
          addnode=198.27.82.163

half the people out there don't know how to create a .conf file and edit it (so that process might be useful to add)

This feedback comes from following another coin (MYR) that had 3 timewarp exploits over the last few weeks and 2 hard forks with wallet updates that were required - most of the miners knew what to do - the rest of the coin holders just threw their hands up in exasperation and walked off - price halved!

If you look at the overall average we are still putting out a block every 30 seconds.  It's just not consistently spread out.  The same amount of coins are being mined even with the difficulty peaks we are experiencing.  The hash rate calculation is correct, even when it shows that we are 250mh/sec because it is very possible to achieve that rate with a very low difficulty.

We need our miners and we recognize the need for a consistent block time.   We will most likely release another update in the near future to move the re-target over a much longer period to reduce the oscillations we've been experiencing.  While the current retarget system is not optimal, it is still better than having the chain completely stuck as we were.  We're working on it guys.  A new update is in testing and we're hoping to have a fix for the difficulty oscillation within the next few weeks.  It will most likely involve an even longer smoothing interval, which will stabilize everything.  What we are shooting for is system that doesn't stray much outside of +/- 20% of the block time and that isn't as reliant on accurate time.
BULLSHIT

I was mining around 2000 UTC/day before the problems started.
The day of the total freeze of the network I mined only 1000 UTC/day.
Since than I have mined around 300-400 UTC/day for 2 days.

You are either ignorant or you are lying on purpose!
NOTHING IS OK WITH THE NETWORK!!!
Where are the coins???


I am glad I don't hold much UTC anymore, but now I have to reconfigure 20+ rigs, cause of your incompetence!



Im with you brother I have to move my rigs now too..pm me, any ideas where to go?

Isee you dont wanna support UTC.. Iam in 100% and I am sure dev team is doing all what they can and as fast than they can.

You are just crying ----- . If you are knowing the better way to fix problems -> give help. I am sure UTC team have room for skilled persons.

or you can dump your coins and please dont come back.

UTC is bigger and better than this and will succeed.

By the way, today received the good news from the team Fluttercoin - they restored purse mintpal V1 and reschayut return the coins back into my purse. Beyond praise.
Could UTC team to do the same? That would be great.

Hey guys. My installation at your disposal. I remain in the network and will produce UTC and on, even if now will get 1 UTC day. You can count on me.
