★★ [ANN] ECCoin (ECC) ★★★ ECCoin - Green Future FORK FIXED UPGRADE NEEDED

[M1SHO]

So I withdrew my coins from Mintpal to the latest 1.6 wallet and have double checked all wallet accounts, two days later coins have still not come through....

I have a transaction id form Mintpal but can't seem to find it on the block explorer.


Are these coins lost in the ether again......

Same thing here ! We must understand what version have mintpal...maybe.....

i already answered this question. please see the post above yours
once this update has taken place you will get your coins

[eschmenk]

you are not on the correct chain. the block chain for this coin has forked many times. right now hostmaster needs to add a checkpoint for block 290762
(209762, uint256("49448f382f9ec8f126542244573e7349c7b07db0cbdc2ab8326942cbfff603b3"))

and then compile the wallets for us to download. once he has done this everyone should be on the minpal fork.


it would also be nice if he set a node to hold checkpoint updates and have the checkpoint added every 5k blocks or so and given to the node so that future forks would be avoided (i have some code for that but not all)

290762 or 209762?

209762. thanks for the clarification

[eschmenk]

Thanks.

If I start with Hostmaster's July 12 data or if I start with a completely fresh install, I wind up on a block chain that has ~204k blocks. That makes me wonder two things. 1) Is Mintpal's fork the "correct" fork? Do we know if anyone but them is on it?  2) Would a checkpoint at ~209k blocks help me? I don't understand the checkpoints but if my wallet can't see past 204k blocks, I don't see how a checkpoint 5k blocks later would help.

since mintpal is the major exchange that holds ecc coins and everyone on here is complaining about having withdrawls issues from them. i am assuming we all want to use their chain. there have been so many forks that i think it would be most reasonable to designate the one with the current biggest exchange as the correct one so everyone can get thier coins from them. i will compile a wallet with my own added checkpoints and see if from a fresh install to see if it fixes the fork problem.

EDIT: the way the checkpoints work is the chain will use the checkpoints to sync the right chain. if it goes down a chain (from a fork) and cant find a checkpoint listed. it will go back and try the other chain until everything is on the right chain. if u need me to explain more i can

And we have how much time for this ....less than a day ?

We recently announced that the markets for the coins mentioned above would be closed on Wednesday 30th July 2014. This means that those coins will no longer be listed on MintPal, as a result you are required to withdraw your remaining balance to your own wallet.

I try sending the coins to comkort , it's the same thing ...they didn't show there ......So  we will loose all the coins on Mintpal i think

mintpal keeps the wallet open for 2 weeks after. the makret just closes then. and probably will have it done tomorrow

where is the correct fork???

I'm pretty sure that I am on the Mintpal chain.  Took forever but I got my coins my wallet now.

i am currently compiling a QT for ECC that i believe will put everyone on the same mintpal fork as of right now. it will be out in a few hours assuming that after i have tested, it works and fixes the chain fork problem.

First question,  to maintain in sync the wallet blockchain with MintPal, would not be more simple ask directly to MintPal
their node ip and put this as first addnode in the .conf file ?

Second question, regarding the modify at the wallet source, don't will be more practical do a patch to force the wallet
to read the additional checkpoint at start, from a external text or json file ?

In this mode we don't need to recompile\download the entire wallet at any fork or checkpoint update, and the patch
should be relatively simple to do.

Here is what I seek to MintPal help and get MintPal the reply ..., and I once again ask for help.

Hello,

Are you running the latest version of the ECC wallet? There was an update recently that fixed the forking problems and you need it to see the withdrawal.

Regards,
Jay

Hello,

My wallet is v1.6.0.0 it is the latest, can provide ECCoin node ip to me of MintPal ? I will put this as first add node in the .Conf file

Thanks！

to your first question. no, we all use the same nodes. but it is possible to download an incorrect block chain from them as there is a fork after the last checkpoint in the wallet.

second question, you cant do that. the wallet source doesnt know to read checkpoints from anywhere besides the hardcoded ones. this means that in order to make an external text file like you said i need to add that into the source anyway and just adding checkpoints is less code than what you are suggesting. so it is not possible without source modification anyway. also any addition of checkpoints means you would have to redownload the block chain reguardless of if it is in source or a txt so it doesnt matter.

my suggestion to mac users: install windows or ubuntu over your OSX. it will make your life easier.
i know nothing about mac programs and personally think learning anything about them would be a waste of time as i see them of the toy car of the computer world.

First reply:
Exactly, the checkpoint now can't ensure the continue sync with mintpal, so if the goal is maintain the sync with them in the next days, then maybe  it behooves us to use them as the first reference node.

This solution does not really like not even to me, but IMHO it would be an immediate solution, available to everyone.
Anyway, in two weeks this solution will no longer work when mintpal will shutdown his wallet.

My preferred solution is a autocheckpoint like the that in Philosopherstone with a checkpoint every five block, but i don't think we have the time to import this solution now, but it can be one of the solution to consider for the next future.


Second reply:
I know, to implement the reading of checkpoint from external file we must anyway patch the source, but this will be one time for good.
When any new fork will rise, we will need only to update the external simple text, and re-download the blockchain, not patch again the source code, recompile and create the bin file for windows \ mac \ etc. for all different system and user.

We can't make a update with checkpoint to select a fork which work for some system and not for other, it will be useless if not even negative for the entire community and the blockchain.

Again this is not the my best solution, but a temporary, simple, quick & dirty practical way.
