Hey so... How do I increase my max connections? I can't seem to find that command.

So I was trying to follow the Windows instructions here: https://github.com/nmushegian/bitshares_toolkit/blob/master/BUILD_WIN32.md

I created a directory and downloaded CMake, Boost, BerkeleyDB, toolkit and OpenSSl to it.

I tried to set the enviroment run setenv.bat and I get this error

Code: [Select]

C:\BitShares>cd bitshares_toolkit-master

C:\BitShares\bitshares_toolkit-master>setenv.bat
Using C:\BitShares\bitshares_toolkit-master\..\ as Bitshare root directory
The system cannot find the path specified.

Setting up VS2013 environment...

Sorry, i am a complete Noob. I am trying though

What is the VS common Tools folder? I have the Visual Studio Express edition.

Those instructions for windows are not very well documented. There are many updates to scripts that need to happen in order to make it to work right.

As a novice, I would actually recommend installing a dual boot of ubuntu because most of the developers are running in Linux and the installation is much much easier. And you'll be more likely to have people be able to help you when you have problems.

I started trying to install on windows but gave up and switched to ubuntu after many hours of problems while installing.

When I import my PTS wallet into XT currently it seems to be about 3 XTS per PTS. Not sure if that is going be the case for X though.

by popular request we are letting you have names for initial delegates for dry run 3.

Please give your name and key here.

But seriously it makes no difference, for the real thing we will call everyone "untrusted-delegate-do-not-vote-XX".

Unless I'm missing something, all the delegates currently waiting in line don't have nearly enough shares to make any difference in the votes.... so many of the init-delegates have millions of vote points. How can any of them be voted out?

Seems like the only way is to market to some huge investors who have lots of shares. And how do we do that? The only ones I know of are 3I. And that is especially true for this dry run right? So who has all the fat stacks of XTS that wants to vote for me?!?

We will be launching a new Dry Run 3 chain and it will have the following changes:

1) all active delegates that produced 0 blocks will be removed
2) everyone that registered as a delegate will take their place prioritized by vote.
3) we have fixed the wallet_withdraw_delegate_pay operation which would introduce a hard fork
4) we will increase the block interval to 30 seconds
5) we will be updating the on-the-wire protocol to communicate extra information such as:
      a) latency between nodes
      b) additional information about node connectivity.
      c) persistent node IDs derived from a public key

With these network updates we should be able to map out the full network of connected nodes (nothing the NSA cannot do anyway).  Using this information delegates can optimize their network connections and users can verify geographic diversity.   

The new test net will launch once we finalize the on-the-wire protocol updates so probably tonight or tomorrow. 

A new GUI wallet is also close to release.

Is there any way we could get the wiki updated with the recently added debug commands? Like list_errors and max_connections and all that? That way those of us who came a little late can be more helpful.

So I finally was able to import my PTS wallet.dat. Apparently I just had to wait long enough for the blockchain to sync. And now I am registered as a delegate on the waiting list! Anyone want to vote for me?! "bdnoble-1" I can send some votes back too. We gotta replace some more of these init-delegates.

You got trust from me ..
+ You should give yourself some trust and move your XTS from your wallet back to your own wallet so that your vote is broadcasted!

Right, of course! I'll go do that on my lunch break.

I know I am a little late to the party, but I built the latest with a clean .BitsharesXTS dir and tried to import my wallet.dat from PTS using wallet_import_bitcoin and it seemed like it worked but I don't have any XTS. Am I doing something wrong? Could I get some XTS to try to register as a delegate with?

I imported mine using private keys.

Have you done wallet_account_balance <- to get the balance
or wallet_rescan_blockchain <- to "refresh"

I did a rescan.

I actually couldn't figure out how to find my private keys from PTS. I did a dumpprivkey on my PTS qt wallet but it said it couldn't find my private key for my address or something like that. So that's why I tried to import the wallet.dat. Has anyone else tried that yet? Is it supposed to be working?

Any word on this? Is there some special way to import from PTS wallet.dat that I haven't tried? Could anyone send me some XTS to play with until I figure this out?
