Feathercoin Core 0.11.1.1 Launch

AcidD

please try to start feathercoind with -tindex in order to create an index at first run.

I’m not sure, if it helps, but there is a chance that the problem is avoided that way.

This did not work for windows…still crashes around 15 seconds after opening.

@aciddude

ok, then I leave it to @lizhi , who is running the windows version. As I only run on Linux, I can’t help here, I’m afraid

At first start 0.11.1 ,you need to download the full blockchain again . because 0.11.1 run block version 3 ,not version 2. It is a different format to store blockchain information.

Some how it started working as normal.

Steps:

1 - backup all your wallets, private keys etc
2 - remove any Feathercoin Directory in %AppData%
3 - Downloaded and installed this build of FTC Core 0.11.1 from Lizhi http://www.ftc-c.com/pack4/feathercoin-setup.exe
4 - Synced FTC block chain in record time!
5 - all working as normal! I was able to close FTC core, open again with no problems. restarting the machine and then opening FTC core was also fine.
6 - Profit ?

–
Either the build I had of FTC core was poo poo (I cant remember where I got it…) or there’s something wrong with my machine…I have RAID SSDs and one of them is about to die…but I doubt that could cause this…

how much CPU is FTC core 0.11.1.1 supposed to be using on average ? after a full blockchain sync ?

i reverted back to an older client, no choice new one just won’t cooperate.

@kelsey what exactly you mean by that?

lol i am not sure what you mean by your question. i tried core 0.11.1.1 and simply could not get it to work, not through lack of trying and wasting a ton of time.

simple solution go back to a previous version til the bugs are ironed out.

AcidD

@kelsey - did you try the steps I mentioned above including downloading the the build from Lizhi ?

mines still working after multiple shutdowns/restarts so I’m assuming now it’s working as normal.

I update core to 0.11.2 , We can keep up with bitcoin.
Core 0.11.2 add BIP65, ability to implement OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY.

You say thank you to Kraken, not me :)

We need to add some new 0.11.2 nodes.the more the better.

Now, 0.11.2 accounted for 4.3%

OK, I will upgrade to 0.11.2 on windows and keep 0.9.3 on linux…

Why do we need them?

[Edit]
If we need the clients to test funcionality and/or features we should start the testnet again

Just saying thanks and kudos / browny points to all helping with testing the latest versions of FTC… ;)

@lizhi

I’m just testing 0.11.2

got it compiled with far less problems than I had with 0.9.x

I just started the gui and it shows ‘MFTC’??!???

wrapper

should that be mFTC? in settings

plus : updated source code Link at Thread header to version 0.11.2 on Github

Will check that next time I start the gui. Currently testing the daemon

sync is ongoing
importing a private key for a wallet address is working

A comment from my side about 0.11.x:

for me both versions are currently in Beta test, as we

don’t have pre-compiled binaries (started to work on that yesterday)
have many references to “Bitcoin” in the help texts and some in the gui
don’t have a clear picture (or sould I say ‘1 don’t’? ) how the bc and network behaves, if the new block version is enforced
have no information of the status of pools, if when and how they’ll implement 0.11.2

But that is just my opinion. :D

What do others think?
