I think we need a topic to let everyone post the bug they found.

I mined 50 PTS but it was not accepted (Unconfirmed 0 of 6 confirmations.  Generated but not accepted.)  It was mined three hours ago and I have 8 active connections and it is up to date.

With a block production rate near 1 per minute, a hashing algorithm that takes 10-40 seconds to find a single result you would expect a lot of orphans.   If it were not for the orphans the block rate would probably be 2x what it is now.  My guess is that 50% of every thing mined right now is orphaned.

I cannot install the Windows binary.

Windows 7 (32-bit)
7-zip

"protoshares-qt.exe - System Error
The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."


Edit: Fixed by using Windows extractor instead of 7-zip.

When I try to do importprivkey, QT gives me:

Code: [Select]
Invalid private key (code -5)
I got the private key from another machine. And I am sure the it is correct.

Looks like there might be some checks against Bitcoin magic numbers that need to be updated...

rising connectionlimit should lower orphans. also port forwarding does help
i have 5 blocks - no orphan (but i do consider this very lucky)

protoshares-qt.exe -maxconnections=100 -addnode=162.243.61.72

Is it a good idea to have a "TotalSharesSupply" output in the "getinfo"? It will help to know how much ProtoShares in the market. It is hard to calculate every time.

Anyone agree with me?

Anyone else having a problem with Protoshares windows program shutting down?  I get a visual C++ error popup 2-4 times/day and it says something about protoshares shutting down for unexpected reason, and to notify software developers of problem?



{
"blocks" : 3101,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 0.00000095,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : 3,
"hashespermin" : 6.62893900,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}

I am running an Intel i5 with windows 8, 64 Bit OS and 8 GB or Ram.

P>S>  I also saw suggestion to run multiple instances of program, if enough memory available, but when I try to start 2nd instance, I get error message and 1st instance shuts down immediately,  Anyone been able to multi-execute successfully?

I had been mining on my macbook air for a while before this issue happened. Now the client tells that:
Error loading block database. Do you want to rebuild the block database now?

I click OK. It gives me:

ProtoShares-Qt quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.

I am trying to locate the blockchain directory on OSX, but it's not there where the bitcoin blockchain would be. I am thinking just delete the blockchain, if I can find it.

Thanks.

With the number of orphans out there the network is wonky right now.  SHould clear up once difficulty adjusts.

Note: the only things we changed from Bitcoin 0.8.5 is the proof of work, the reward schedule, and the block rate, the address leading letter, the ports, and the genesis block.

Thanks, Pro.
Another issue. Display error of text with the client. The address was shown as little square blocks. But when I copy it to a text editor, it displays correctly. Must be a encoding problem.

Goto wallet.dat location, delete everything EXCEPT wallet.dat, run the client again, wait until it's redownload blockchain.
Edit: Better to save wallet.dat to safe place before everything. By default it's located in user profile: C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Roaming\ProtoShares

There seems to be a bug with the OSX qt client.

When minimizing the client and then re-maximizing it from the app bar the client links IE: "overview, send, recivce" etc stop working.

I have to quit qt and restart it for the links to work again.

pool_miner does not run on Windows XP or Windows 2003 x64.  I think because it's C++ VS2012.

вопрос такой - установил кошелек в Вин 7 64 бит, но нет синхронизации, пишет, что источник блоков недоступен. Что нужно сделать, чтобы источник блоков стал доступным и мой кошелек синхронизировался?

I have the same problem with 'importprivkey' command, as well as, with the 'dumpprivkey <protosharesaddress>'


Edit: Remember to check if your wallet is encrypted. If yes, use your pass phrase first:
Code: [Select]
walletpassphrase "yourpassphrase" 600
