Re: [ANN][MINT] Happy Halloween - Visit Reddit, Twitter, Facebook for Free Mint!

Ok, so I've got a bit of a problem...

Out of the complete blue, my wallet doesn't work anymore. That is, it does start up. However, as soon as it's showing me the wallet, the entire thing becomes unresponsive.

I haven't changed or done anything with the wallet, I haven't deposited or withdrawn any coins, nothing. Yet, suddenly, the wallet is not responding. I have tried restarting my pc numerous times but it did not help. I decided to go ahead and download the new wallet (I thought that might fix it) but the problem persists. I start it up, it freezes instantly.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem last 4 days.
Other coin walets are ok.

As stated above, the wallet is just syncing. just go to %appdata% (on Windows) --> Roaming --> Mintcoin and see if the blkindex.dat increases in size... It does for me, so there technically isn't any problem.

I'm pretty sure it will work normally after it has synced

Sometimes the GUI will lag/be unresponsive. Just let it sit, and it should eventually become responsive again. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the coin, it can be a pain though especially the larger your wallet.dat file gets, more transactions and mintings means more to keep track of, and it can do that. I would imagine that in the future, these sorts of things will get more smooth. Check if the size your wallet.dat file is several thousands of KB...that could be a reason.

I "broke down" just about 20 days ago, and consolidated my hundreds and hundreds of transactions into one 11M+ xfer to myself. Am eagerly awaiting the first minting! Should be a rewarding experience. Grin

[Edit: I am thinking that as soon as the whole batch mints, I'm going to immediately move everything again to keep things tight. Thoughts?]
