Re: ### A ChainWorks Industries (CWI) Project - OzzieCoin

I install wallet Ozziecoin version v0.17.0.99-14161d50f (64-bit), but I have 0 active connections, should I add any nodes ?

Yes ...

- Locate the (or create if you don't have one) the ozziecoin.conf file (I am unsure where it is located in Windows if you have it)
- Close the wallet if you have it running.
- Go to this link - https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ozc/#!network - and click on the 'node list' button where /CWI_OZC:0.17.99/ is located.
- Copy and paste these node listings (no matter how many) to the ozziecoin.conf file.
- Save the ozzeicoin.conf file.
- Restart your wallet and wait till the wallet finds an active peer.

The alternative is ...

- Run the wallet .
- Click on the 'Help' Menu Item.
- Click on 'Debug Window'
- When the 'Debug Window' opens, click on the 'Console' Tab.
- At the bottom there is a Navigation/Input Pane where you should punch in the node addresses from the Block Explorer, except in this form below -

Code:

addnode 108.170.1.134 add

- Continue doing this until you have entered at least three nodes.
- Close the 'Debug Window' and wait until the wallets finds an active peer.

Syncing should start from there.

If syncing does not start, then there is another issue you need to look at, whether it be a firewall port exception, or opening the P2P port in the Modem/Router you are using. This is beyond the scope of this post as each have different settings.

Currently, below is the listings of nodes in my currently active wallet.

Code:

Hope this helps.

I have the wallet open. There is no CONF file. I tried the debug method, copied and pasted that one line and it says NULL. That's it. Not working?

UPDATE: I created my own config file, didn't work. Opened up settings in wallet and it says OPEN CONF FILE. Did this instead, pasted nodes, restarted and that worked. It's now syncing.

One question remains though, do I really need to download 200GB worth of blockchain just to send the coins from the exchange to a wallet?

OK ...

It is good that you have it finally working. A couple of points to note.

- As with almost EVERY other coin out there, based on the BitCoin code or otherwise, the procedures are almost identical to getting these things running, and as the nodes are NOT hardcoded in this Release Candidate (RC2), it is necessary to get things running this way for the time being.
- The blockchain IS the ledger that make the wallet run. So in answer to your question, if you are moving coins to a LOCAL wallet, then yes, the entire blockchain must be downloaded. Tried a full Bitcoin Wallet? Many hundreds of GB need to be downloaded before you can use it, though you do have 'light' wallets available for BitCoin and many others, of which we are not yet up to in development. We have just started the coin development process, as we started from the backend first, to make sure whatever we develop has the infrastructure backing.

As for the conf file. If you are using Windows, case shouldn't be an issue. Linux is a different story and case ALWAYS matters for Linux.

ozziecoin.conf - is the case and name that OZC requires to have, though much more lax with Windows, and it MUST be in the right place, which is where the wallet and blockchain is located. In the Case of Windows, I am told it is in the %appdata% Directory, and in Linux it is the .ozziecoin/ directory.

The opening config in menu is actually a really simple way of doing this, but I have no idea if this stays persistent after closing the wallet, and reopening. The best way to maintain your settings is the .conf file in the OzzieCoin Directory.

We are working with another Exchange currently, and have struck an agreement, and arrangement with them, so publication of details will follow shortly. The only issue we have currently is that Cryptopia are taking their time with the update and release of the OZC/BTC market.

BTW - the actual OzzieCoin blockchain is no more than 590MB as of time of posting, not 200GB as you stated. You are confusing OZC with BTC Wink
