does anyone have nodes for the old block chain - the one Bter is on?

thanks

Only one active node too and it is not a regular TIPS node, "subver" : "/Euphoria:1.1.2/"
This network has no active nodes because wallets crashes when tried to create block > 1663999

exactly, I am running https://oldtips.poolto.be  (very old Fedoracoin pool, up since end 2013) and i have same behavior.
Daemon crash while it find block 1664000.
Didn't find a way to fix it.

in daemon log:
2017-03-22 09:10:10 receive version message: /Euphoria:1.1.2/: version 70000, blocks=1664000, us=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:54920, them=120.55.68.251:44889, peer=120.55.68.251:44889

and it crash.
anyone experiencing same?

I'm using https://github.com/fedoracoin/fedoracoin  , branch master.


The wallet tries to count the existing supply to calculate next reward and crashes with that which was expectable and I warned a few times that this will happen.
The call to GetChainValue is the culprit here:
https://github.com/fedoracoin/fedoracoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L1139

A new checkpoint could help to move a few thousand blocks before the same problem occures. IIRC you could add one or two checkpoints something like 10-50 blocks before current block and it should start going again for some time. Difficult task will be to calculate the supply at this block you checkpoint.


TBH the new TIPS also fails, but it fails more gracefully when calculating the supply and will just stick with 50k block reward for eternity.



It will be easy to make similar behavior in the old chain but there is one problem - BTER doesn't respond to any communications.
