Feathercoin Core 0.11.1.1 Launch

AcidD

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.

But I only forwarded this generous message.
You say thank you to Kraken, not me :)

I love what you do with wallet, please be with us also this year, 2016!

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?

Looks like a valid points. I think it is important to push Core 0.11.2 so more people can test and feedback.
Also I would like to see 0.9.x features migrated to 0.11.2 (Lizhi is working on migration)

Actually it is cool that we can test the new version on the live network, then go back to the previous version. Having more mechanisms to handle database upgrades and forks is pretty neat, and necessary in the long run…

another point to not advertize 0.11.2 and clearly flag it as “development only” version.

We can’t start to publish revisions and then implement changes, so we currently can’t make 0.11.2 a release yet.

From Github:

Tagging suggestions

It’s common practice to prefix your version names with the letter v. Some good tag names might be v1.0 or v2.3.4.

If the tag isn’t meant for production use, add a pre-release version after the version name.  Some good pre-release versions might be v0.2-alpha or v5.9-beta.3.
Semantic versioning

If you’re new to releasing software, we highly recommend reading about [semantic versioning.](http://semver.org/)

I think those are simple and effective rules and we should try to adhere to them
