@aciddude We have been working on it all day. Can’t really say for now.

since GMC was using 0.9.3, can we assume all the mining done since the switch to 0.9.3 is useless ? ie…will we not get our coins ?

The way I understand it 0.9.3 is on the wrong chain ?

+1 with @aciddude… as i remember in 2-3 days before, every stats is ‘resetting’ (balance, Blocks solved by)

Correct, I had a just over 3K FTC in GMC. that’s gone now and it’s reset…the mined coins never hit my wallet.

As of this morning though, things seem to look correct and GMC looks to be operating correctly.

My ISP at home gives me pretty good upload bandwidth so on my FTC 0.9.5 I’ve got 29 connections In and I’ve sent out 500 MB…since last night 8PM

I believe this will help people sync the correct blockchain ?

as a ‘nearly-zero’ due to this ‘blockchain-protocol’ thing…maybe, hope so…

after d ‘okay’ situation, had tried mining at 2-pool today, n already receive from both pool…

hope dat ‘2-3 yesterday job’ can be ‘recovered’… ;3)

Can anyone say what is current status?
What client is safe to use ?
How to check whether wallet is on main chain ?

Safe clients are 0.8.7.3, 0.9.3.1 and 0.9.5
no
According to Ghostlanders observations 0.8.7.3 is more effective for pools than the 0.9.3.1 and 0.9.5

Outdated versions are < 0.8.7.0 (no neoscrypt)
0.8.7.0, 0.8.7.1, 0.8.7.2 (no BIP66 support) which are not compatible with the versions 0.9.5 and 0.11.x

Thanks.
What about network, is it still split into different chains?
Is it safe to transfer coins ?

If its transaction related, I wonder if increased traffic from the recent price spike and trade volume contributed.

Unless you like Russian Roulette, i highly recommend not sending coins.

Wellenreiter

The hasrate reported is back to the level we had before the fork.

I think, that the block chain is consolidated now.

Still: PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CLIENTS!!!

hello,
I have been trying to update my wallet but i always get this message “the program can,t start because libwinpthread-1.dll is missing from your computer…” could someone explain me , I am currently using Qt version 4.8.5

thank you
fred

I assume, that you are on Windows and try to install the binary version 0.9.3.1 provided by Lizhi.

I’m not a windows specialist, so I only can give tips here:

try to find out, which windows software package provides libwinpthread-1.dll
- google ‘libwinpthread-1.dll missing on windows’ or similar. I assume it will be contained in qt5, but I’m not sure.
- install the software you find and install the client.
if you can’t find the software providing the dll
- try to compile and install client version 0.8.7.3 which uses qt4, that you have on your pc.

@all: is there anybody, who can provide a windows binary version 0.8.7.3?

flcph

thanks for your answer, will try to install version 0.8.7.3, when i get the link,

I have downgraded from 0.9.5 to 0.8.7.3

Thanks guys!

MrBeen

Same here from 0.9.5 to 0.8.7.3, and no need to download block list - it have eaten 095. One thing - in 0.8.7.3 about shows 0.8.7.0, a bit confusing, but just a remark. Thanks!

ghostlander

@MrBeen It shows “Feathercoin version v0.8.7.3”

Thanks Ghost I used your source to compile 0.8.7.3 on my raspberry pi, so I’ve got a node up again, although its currently catching up and probably will be for another day.

According to Ghostlanders observations 0.8.7.3 is more effective for pools than the 0.9.3.1 and 0.9.5

For for all pool operators and miners who to solo mining on a client with version 0.9.5 please change your client to 0.8.7.3 or 0.9.3

I’m not a pool miner nor am I solo mining. I am running version 0.9.5 Do I have to downgrade as well?
