Still no mac wallet? need to access my coins

Still no mac wallet? need to access my coins

I'm literally like 2 steps away from being able to build it in my mac VM so if push comes to shove I will try to slide out a temporary version until the official wallet comes!

I see a few people have used http://octo-chance.fedaykin.us! I'll try to make a better advertisement for it later on. Remember that everyone can become part owner by investing! Also, takes 3 confirms to show your balance, I may have to change that, though, not sure how it jives with the wallet. Lots of little settings can be changed.

Edit: Oh, and we are invested now, so let the betting commence!

call me superstitious... 8 days ago written on last commits its when I have discovered you

trying to assemble Mac Wallet no show stopper, seeing it not ready reverting to UNIX (running Centos) abs dont worry about this.. very very interesting I am a very superstitious person..

thank you for creating this and something is going to happen


https://github.com/octocoin/octocoin

done.. coins are mined and streaming into the wallet... will revisit this thread.. and thanks for ongoing development

How long has the Mac wallet been out? Must have missed the announcement I guess. Either way, it's running great!

Likely "cleverminer" or one of the private multicoin sites dumping. Of course every time bitcoin starts climbing people start shedding alts pretty quick. It's a buyers market almost across the board as long as bitcoin keeps heading north. I've been buying mostly LTC and VTC but sprinkling in a little more 888 every day. The alts always catch back up and then some. My main complaint with Bittrex is you can put a big buy order out there and it just sits there for days unfilled usually because it jacks up the price. People see a 2 BTC buy order on Bittrex and they think Warren Buffet is making an Octo play Another reason MintPal would be so nice. I'll bet Octo would do over 100 BTC in volume on the first day there.

i noticed the same thing every time i put in a large btc amount 888 buy the selling prices just soared. i've been buying VTC and ANC lately but 888 has been up there at least 1-2 decent buys every 2 weeks when the prices bottom out.

yeah i pulled my octo buy from bittrex. better to keep the price low, that way the multipools don't get wise and come back to harvest these bonus blocked coins. 300MH net cap is fine by me.

How much time left on the bonus blocks btw? Not actively mining 888 at the moment, waiting for a x11 multi if/when it hits.

To dev... concerning deposit made to Xnigma, I deposited 18101.42 octo reported as unconfirmed for 3 months.  The transaction appears in both old/new wallet at first as unconfirmed/0 of 6 confirmations.  Now it appears, after I emailed Xnigma, as "conflicted".  Regardless my coin is in the cloud floating around or gone?

Both old/new wallets say I have 18447.66902801 coin, but try to move any and no, no, no.  Again, attempted on old/new wallets and separate PCs, rebuilding data, etc.

Xnigma never received.

The Xnigma sysop may need to do the same thing.. Rebuild and reindex. There's a command in the new wallet, something like zapwallettxes or something like that. Have him try that out, surely your transaction will be found!

How about a new thought for altcoin.  Me... customer.  Developer... manufacturer.  Exchange... vendor.  Customer complains, manufacturer and vendor fix.  Not fix, customer finds another product.  Appreciate your advice but not looking to solve this problem myself.

But you were just told what needs to be done. You and the Xnigma admin need to reindex your wallets. You'd be surprised how often this happens with all coins - there is a reason Litecoin increased max block size in their latest release. I believe OctoCoin has an even larger max block size. Reindexing is there because sometimes your transaction isn't accepted into the block chain due to too low of fees or whatnot. The zapwallettxes thing sounds interesting. I don't know how to use it but I'd look into that. If you zap the transaction, the coins come back into your wallet and you can resend them if you like. The coins are not lost as they never even hit the main blockchain. Your wallet stored on your computer is just "confused." You can point your finger all day long but one thing I've learned is the best way to resolve an issue is to take matters into my own hands. I've had this same issue before with Doge, Litecoin, Feathercoin, and even bitcoin. The difference is that now there are more tools built into the OctoCoin wallet that will probably make it much easier. It was a freak incident and it sucks but it's not Xnigma's fault and unless you want to send the OctoCoin dev your wallet.dat file there isn't much they can do most likely. Your wallet is the only place that transaction exists.

The zapwallettxes doesn't actually work that way, but still very useful in rebuilding the tx database.. I was looking at the bitcoin changelog and looks like Octo has alot of the same functionality. Here's the most interesting snippet, for transaction-related issues:

Transaction malleability-related fixes
--------------------------------------

This release contains a few fixes for transaction ID (TXID) malleability
issues:

- -nospendzeroconfchange command-line option, to avoid spending
  zero-confirmation change
- IsStandard() transaction rules tightened to prevent relaying and mining of
  mutated transactions
- Additional information in listtransactions/gettransaction output to
  report wallet transactions that conflict with each other because
  they spend the same outputs.
- Bug fixes to the getbalance/listaccounts RPC commands, which would report
  incorrect balances for double-spent (or mutated) transactions.
- New option: -zapwallettxes to rebuild the wallet's transaction information


I can confirm that it does help out. I had a couple of things stuck that I didn't know about, I ran pretty much every recovery option when I updated the pool, to be on the safe side. Hope it works out for ya!
If you're on windows, make a shortcut of octocoin-qt.exe, Right click it, choose properties, and in the "Target" box, after the file path and octocoin-qt.exe add -zapwallettxes -rescan -reindex  

Save that and try once more. Hope you get your coins back!

Has anybody tried to send more than 999 octo out?  Since my problem started with my wallet saying I had 18000+ coin and trying to send it gave me a "red" box on the amount to send, I looked at the transactions with Xnigma since they were the only other wallet I'd been trading with.  I decided to try and salvage something and incrementally reduced the amount.  Came down to 999 in the send box that didn't turn red in the updated new wallet.  So I created a new wallet on a different PC and transferred 999 at a time to it successfully.  So lets test.  Created another new wallet and from the first new wallet attempted the full 18000+ transfer... red box, but 999 would transfer.

Please, nobody tell me to re-index again since that was the first thing I did.

I've had 1K+ coins transferred to me numerous times with no problems. I did a little test mining on the pools last week and had my payout set at 1600 and never had a problem getting my coins from them. I've transferred much larger amounts from Bittrex in the past few days and, again, no issues. There have been isolated issues of transactions getting hung, but that happens with every coin.

For example: I just had hang up while trying to transfer some Doge yesterday. I re-synced my wallet and the coins came back.

Last week I bought 55K of another coin and it became hung on transfer from one exchange to another. After a few hours I sent a support message to the original exchange and they managed to get it to go on through. I ended up having to sell the coin at a loss because the buy order that was part of a price pump was gone... So much for arbitrage  

I have no idea why your wallet is behaving badly as I haven't had that problem; nor seen anyone else say anything about it. Did you delete all of the files in the appdata/roaming/octocoin folder except the wallet.dat before re-indexing?

[clapperhead]

Never mind.  Recovered 999.999999 at a time and dumped on bittrex.

Kudos to whoever picked up the cheap Octo.

[clapperhead]

Only cheap if you think it's worth more, which at this time I consider it dieing.  No dev support for major wallet issue reported several days in forum.  Only support is amateur "re-index" multiple times.  By the way, I'm sending half of my recovered octo/BTC to Xnigma because he was very responsive and tried to help and yes he had done the basic thing "re-indexing" since he was the only exchange for 888 until bittrex.

Since you were the only one experiencing a problem, and several people on this thread went out of their way to try and help you already; the developers did not owe you anything.

BTW, I checked your other posts on the forum and they are all posts complaining about some issue or another that you want someone else to take care of for you. You need to either grow up or go back to your McJob (or mama's basement) because you are clearly not cut out for the digital currency world if you do not.

If the early adopters of BitCoin had been like you, there would be no digital currency market today. There was no one to help in the beginning. Just a bunch of folks trying new things out 'til they broke and then going and trying them again until they got it right. There are still many people doing this today.

Cryptocurrency is an experimental field. With all experiments there are going to bugs and failures, just as there are in life.

Good Luck... you need it
