Severe network problems | Last block was synced 3d 19hs 55m 52s ago and counting

I copied the chain folder to my laptop and it worked perfectly. Saved a lot of download time!

Thanks for your help.

You can definitely have two wallets running on the same home network.  Sometimes I have two running on the same machine.  Copying the chain folder should work as well, but I don't think I've ever done it.

If the account is a titan account this can lead to some odd behavior, where your transfers will show as being sent to unknown, and you wont be able to read the memo.  Not really a big deal, but can be off putting.

I installed my wallet on my laptop, so now I have the wallet on two different PCs.

The wallet is synced and working fine on my desktop PC, but I am having a hard time getting the laptop wallet to sync up properly.

Question #1: is it possible to simply copy the chain folder from my desktop PC and drop it into the BitShares folder on my laptop? It seems like that would solve the problem of downloading the entire chain over the network.

Question #2: can I have the two wallets (each on a different computer) running simultaneously, or will that cause confusion on the bitshares network?

I was having a similar issue and deleted all of the folders and files in the %appdata% location as described (except wallet folder) and it started syncing, but now it is stuck again.

It has been "Last block was synced 174d 8h 37m 4s ago" for over an hour and is still saying "Sever Network Problems".

Is there anything else I can do to resolve this?

Looks like you need more nodes, in console (console located under settings menu) enter following commands:

addnode "178.62.88.151:58223" add
addnode "46.226.13.125:1776" add
addnode "84.238.140.192:42577" add

addnode "45.115.36.171:1776" add
addnode "173.20.123.161:54827" add

Thanks.  It took awhile but everything finally synced.  I am so looking forward to version 2.0.

Remove the wallet too... put it somewhere else until your client is synced.. shutdown.. add the wallet again and load it up again.

You should be fine then.

I have been trying to sync my bts wallet to the network for days. Whenever I do, I get the "severe network problems" line at the bottom of the wallet browser, and it keeps counting up. I have the latest version of the wallet. Anyone else having this problem? I just updated to windows 10, so I wonder if there is a connection?

In order to help please type info in console and post it here.

Looks like your client at fork and can’t back to main chain. You can try re-index, but I suggest you to resync, delete all files and folders from %APPDATA%\BitShares except walltes folder and run client again. Resync will take same time as re-index. Before doing anything please make backup of your wallet from BitShares client and copy wallets folder to safe place.

There is a folder called "chain" in APPDATA/BitShares directory. When I try to delete that folder, I get: "Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". I am unable to delete the folder.

Any thoughts?

Run "Check Disk", you can do it from command line by command:

Code: [Select]

chkdsk c: /f
It's will ask you if you wish to do it during next restart, answer Yes, and reboot your computer. During boot check disk will run.

Thanks guys. That worked. I was able to delete the old data, and reloaded the entire blockchain over the last day. Now everything is up to date.

Cheers!

Where is the %APPDATA% folder located? I looked under  Program Files/Bitshares but not in there.

I would recommend pointing to a chain server with your config to get those last 4 days caught up.

You mentioned windows 10.. perhaps check your firewall to make sure its not possibly blocking ports? Have you tried disabling firewall to see if the network connection improves?
