Title: What is the current average blockchain sync time?
Post by: kenCode on June 11, 2015, 02:16:43 pm
I decided to upgrade yesterday from 0.9.0 to 0.9.2 to alleviate any 2.0 migration issues.
The hard drive is still grinding away and a friend of mine is installing 0.9.2 for the first time. It's been running for a full 24 hours now, any idea how much longer it will take us to sync up? In 0.8.0 and below I was able to sync it up in like 4 hours, but now..?

When I upgraded it took under 4 hours. Not sure what your problem is.

Bitshares currently doesn't work on hdd. You need an SSD or RAID0/stripe.

That is incorrect.  Bitshares works perfectly fine on a HDD.  I'm using a 6 year old one myself.

It just finished. It took about 36 hours.
 
BIG problem now though:
Now that I have upgraded from 0.9.0 to 0.9.2 and resynced the blockchain, MOONFUND and NOTE no longer exist in my balance.
Luckily my BTS, USD and SILVER balances are correct.
 
Why are MOONFUND and NOTE gone?

This happens to me sometimes. I've found the best thing to do is execute "wallet_regenerate_keys <ACCOUNT_NAME> 12000" for the affected account and then "rescan" (from the console in the Advanced tab of the GUI). Pretty sure it has something to do with TITAN accounts losing track of their deterministic keys.

Will that tie my computer up for another 36 hour resync?

No, my wild guess is maybe 15 minutes.

Sync times for 2.0 will be well under a minute, limited only by your internet connection speed.

Well, I live in Nigeria on 2400 baud dialup. Will it be under a minute for me too? ;)

It will be like downloading a movie.

I updated last weekend.  Took one and a half eternities.  v2.0 is going to be infinitely better. :)

Creepy.. I turned the computer on this morning, started up 0.9.2 and there was all of my balances again! :)
 
I never had to run the command you mentioned. MOONFUND and NOTE both appear in my balances again.
 
I was thinking it had something to do with Taulant making some changes because of their crowdfunder coming to an end or something, I don't know. Or maybe my 5yr old computer just misread the fs somehow.
 
Whatever, lookin forward to 2.0 now, thanx guys :)
