Something has changed. I can connect to a remote node but the local node no longer functions. This seems to have started somewhere between July 31st and Aug 1st. Why is this?
I have verified the wallet has internet access just as it did before when the local node was working and I have changed nothing on my computer or network. Has something in the wallet changed or need upgrading?
Privacy is my greatest concern and the reason I chose to support LOKI, now that has changed, I cannot view my current wallet balance past block #64343 unless I am connected to a remote node (someone else's node). I prefer having the chain download to my computer for safe keeping but that is no longer an option? Am I doing something wrong or has something changed with the way the wallet works now? Chris B.
Edited to add: I upgraded to the new wallet from the recent fork. The new wallet does exactly the same thing as the old wallet, no local node connection. Also the new wallet uses around 30%+ of my cpu even when not connected to the daemon...............Something is definitely different.
Hi Chris, when opening the new wallet, make sure to run lokid.exe as an administration. I tried opening mine simply by "Open" it does not start the daemon I run on a local node but when opening it as an administrator, it successfully synced my daemon. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the input. I am still experiencing the same bug.
The wallet will connect to the remote node but not a local node. Please verify under your "settings" you have the box selected for "local node" and have deselected the "remote node" option when running your test as an Admin. I've not spoken with anyone else that has been able to connect to a local node since the fork. This is a known bug and I hope with a little time it will be corrected.
I will be happy to support Loki again after the wallet bugs are corrected. The others in my investment group and myself find it difficult to accept the Loki wallet was hard forked merely to adjust the mining reward, especially since there was no algo change. Changes of this nature being claimed as simply to adjust the mining reward are intellectually dishonest and unfortunately huge red flags to most investors. Chris B.
Hello Chris, sorry that you feel that way. We like to encourage open discussion and value your feedback. Please take a moment to read this medium article to understand why Loki forked:
