I compiled a new allBalances.txt file, and was curious as to why this file is not converted to a new bloom filter file ?
Oh, and when I started it up in auto it never said
"Reading balances... storable found - using that (faster)"
any other flags to add ?
Ok - to sort some things out:
If you have a HRD-core generator, it doesn't use the balances.pst at all, only a blf file.
balances.pst is used only in conjunction with the the Go-generator
If you have a allBalances.txt file and remove the balances.pst (or call it with -forceparse), it will create a balances.pst and also a file "funds_h160.hex"
the .hex file you have to transform into a .blf file using the hex2blf utility that comes with brainflayer:
https://github.com/ryancdotorg/brainflayeredit:Just tested. You found a bug. Remove the balances.pst file, call LBC with -forceparse and it will create a new one and a funds_h160.hex file too.
edit2:However, I would like to point out, that the possibility to supply your own .blf and .pst files is only a residual from earlier times and probably superfluous with Jarvis' autoupdate capability.
It was meant solely to give you a way of having an up-to-date blf/pst and not to screw around with it, which is a shortcut to the pools' blacklist.
