Re: [ANN] BitcoinDark (BTCD)--Sha-256/PoW-PoS hybrid/Bounty Opportunities
Hi everyone, I noticed that many people seem to be having sync issues.
The problem seems to be a rogue message that has been taking up a lot of bandwidth. This was created during Teleport testing, and leaked to the network.
This has been fixed. I had the sync issues myself earlier today. I ran this version and still had them. Then, I deleted the blockchain (delete everything in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\BitcoinDark EXCEPT wallet.dat and BitcoinDark.conf) and re-ran it.
No more sync problem, and I'm averaging 1kb/s Download and .5kb/s Upload bandwidth usage
Azeh will update the op when he gets a chance, but for now here is the download:

Since I'm posting, might as well give an update.
Teleport testing is going well, James is working hard on debugging it within btcd core. I am hard at work on that most gruesome, most evil task which can befall any developer: Building on Windows

I am not quite sure what happened with the testing but my wallet was really screwed up! It was going in and out of sync since 9/8/2014 around 3:00 AM CST. It was also staking like crazy but the size of the staked blocked were extremely small compared to previous staked coins. I thought maybe the syncing issue was just crosstalk as I have seen this before with other coins. I sent 100 BTCD to an exchange and that never showed up. I then sent 1 BTCD to a different exchange to test and see if it was me and that never showed either. I sent two more transactions each 1 BTCD to test and nothing was making it through. I was really starting to get worried. I did what you said and redownloaded the blockchain and used this BTCD Wallet release. All my transactions including staked coins since 9/8/2014 around 3:00 AM CST now show as Conflicted, about 28 total, 22 of those were mined coins from staking. However, the good news is that the coins I sent are back in my wallet from the 4 transactions that never went through to two different exchanges. I take it I am good to send coins now? No syncing issues since I download and used this version of the wallet.
