Technical masternode help requestedDyslexic_Zombei has allegedly lost access to one of his masternode addresses (node 3) due to a 'phantom self-payment' and he says the address is disassociated with the wallet and his blockchain file is corrupt or something. See his posts here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=626715.msg7888788#msg7888788 Could we get some help on this from El Presidente or even a glance by Evan or InternetApe? He's blaming the issue on Evan essentially, saying the community has been no help and he is claiming the Darkcoins are irrecoverable due to Evan's 'beta software'.
To me DZ just seems highly incompetent.
after going through the last few pages of his thread, this is my conclusion as well. I've been running a masternode since rc3's release and I have had 0 downtime and 0 issues with the remote wallet configuration (takes like 15-20 minutes to harden server + get a masternode running). A corrupted blockchain database isn't a big issue, just delete the blockchain folder and redownload it.
Agreed I wrote on his thread in defence of darkcoin - there are over 850 masternodes running with almost zero downtime. We dont get people in the darkcointalk or in this thread screaming about instability or corruption problems. Its not an issue with the masternode software, its an issue of the user setting things up wrong. Amazon servers dont randomly die or corrupt themselves unless the user does something crazy.
You can read through his threads and he has a massive number of problems from remoting into the servers, network issues, random corruptions, and he is even using the RC2 QT wallet in linux. He should be running the RC3 daemon if he is going to setup the masternode properly.
As said previously, he either has the worst luck in the entire world, or is incompetent. I am voting for the later.
