@ Spidersbox, and userpike

Thank you both for your replies and help,I love that we have a good dev and a good community that keeps BTB strong Cheesy

Go BitBar!!!  Grin

@ userpike,yes I am on windows wallet  Wink
Always welcome.
It's good to have lot's of information in this thread for new people to read - all we need are new people  Cheesy

If you build it, they will come....

New BitBar wallet is cool but it wont stay in sync.It keeps falling behind everyday and when/if I get it to sync it just goes back out,is there a reason for this and why does the wallet still say the checkpoint is to old?

Thanks for any help,not trying to be negative or an ass,just reporting issues and hoping for solutions  Grin

Please report any issues - the more information the better.

I haven't heard back from dreamwatcher about the checkpoint server.  I sent him the private key for setting it up back on Fri 4/29/2016, guess I'll sent it again....

- general info for all readers:

As for your wallet syncing (or not), I would shut it down, delete the peers.dat file and both .log files(easier to look through) and try again.

you can add nodes to your config file from the list at http://btb.cryptocoinexplorer.com/peerinfo it's generally not needed, and it doesn't hurt.

addnode=65.102.140.116
addnode=82.181.121.182
.....

(don't add the :xxxxx)

note: If for some reason you were on a different chain, or your wallet just hiccuped and spewed nonsense out to the network, your wallet could end up being banned for 'misbehaving'
It's a temporary ban set for 24 hours. (most wallets are 10 minutes - I don't know why they designed bitbar this way)


Sounds like part of the original over engineering of Bitbar, with emphasis on security.
