Re: [ANN][VOT]: VoteCoin - a new era of anonymous crypto democracy

Hi, I mined votecoin in an early stage of the coin, i have the VoteCoin 1.0.11 linux client. I tried to export my wallet to import it to the new windows client, but when I try to export i get this message:
Code:
./src/votecoin-cli z_exportwallet exporfile
error code: -28
error message:
Verifying blocks...

There is 0 connections for ~35 minutes, so I think i should repair it first? But I do not know how to upgrade step by step, to be able to connect od my linux machine to export the wallet.

Please help me to recover the wallet  Smiley

I solved the problem Smiley
My case was a bit weird, because i mined VOT in 2017 for short time and them moved to another city, leaving my computer, so only version I have had was 1.0.1 cli linux wallet Smiley
I couldn't make it to connect to the blockchain, and not every command worked.
I could check my balance(votecoin-cli z_getbalance "address"), but couldn't export wallet(votecoin-cli z_exportwallet "exportfilename"), i was able to run votecoind but it couldn't connect.  Moreover, i could make a transaction and chceck it's status(i have it copied, it was successfull). The problem was, the transaction never finished, and in my new windows wallet the transparent address i sent VOT to, has dissapeared. So than I panicked a bit, but it later came to my mind, that if there were no connections, the transaction might be just an illusion Wink
So i tried even harder to export priv key and import it on windows wallet...I googled zcash forums and stepped on this document: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list
i used a dumpprivadress to export private addres and restore in in the new wallet on my windows machine, and it worked! The transaction never happened, all the VOT's are in my restored wallet Smiley

Do we know if there has been any applications to exchanges / which ones if so?

So far we've send applications to these exchanges:

Poloniex - applied for enhanced account verification, which is needed to submit new coin for consideration. Still no reply from support
Bittrex - applied for enhanced account verification, which is needed to submit new coin for consideration. Still no reply from support
Coinexchange.io - there is 1 BTC listing fee and 7 days waiting time -> acceptable fee, but very low volume on this exchange
cryptopia.co.nz - listing fee as of now is 5000000 DOT (approx. 5 BTC) -> too expensive
hitbtc.com - 6 months listing - fee 6 BTC /per market -> too expensive
yobit.com - 0.1 BTC listing fee and a few days waiting time -> good terms, but very low volume on this exchange

Our top priority is to get listed on Poloniex or Bittrex. If we are not able to get listed on these exchanges in reasonable time, we will consider listing VOT on some smaller exchanges. So if you guys have any favourite exchanges, send us your tips and we will get in touch with them.
My fav - BitBay.net

He shouldn't use "votecoin_build_fedora.sh" as ubuntu is debian Wink So the correct version is "votecoin_build_debian.sh".

Try apt-get update and than ap-get upgrade, after that remove all VoteCoin folder and start again. Make sometimes keeps it's cache(or something Wink ) I had the same problem, starting again helped Smiley

i have 1 mining rig with 4 GTX 1070. waiting for windows wallet
You don't have to wait, you can do as I did:
- download VMWare Player (free non comercial use)
- download ubuntu 16.04 LTS ISO

Install WMWare Player and create new system on it, pick the downloaded ISO and the only thing you have to configure is capacity on hard driver(I suggest about 25GB)
Than you will be able to create wallet as on VoteCoin project's GitHub instructions.

It's easy.

Once you create your wallet, you can start mining on Windows mining software.

Never though I would be able to do it since I have no clue about Linux (first time today!!) but I set up a node and will let it run every now and then. Hope it helps get the network a little faster. Already did more than 23k transaction confirmations. Started extremely fast and now slowed down a lot. I guess you needed me... Wink

But:
Can anybody post a full .bat file for Windows mining with Excavator or any other Windows miner? I'm trying but Excavator gets stuck while initializing. Getting AMD display errors (and have Nvidia).
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Used Claymore and CCminer until now for other Coins and got them to work.
Used both votecoinmine.site pool versions mentioned here (with Stratum and without) but none worked.

Thank you for help.



Zec Miner 0.3.4b
Code:
:mine

miner.exe --pec --server pool.votecoin.site --port 3333 --user t1*** --pass x
goto :mine


It works fine for GTX 1060, GTX 1070, GTX 1080ti for me on Windows 10 Drivers: 384.94

In new excavatoor(i run 1.2.11a) config looks different, mine *conf.json file is like that:

Code:
[
{"time":1,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["equihash","pool.votecoin.site:3333","t1NMhTYNDcyx19pvhFWpYCAAsewzV34GC77.1060_komp"]}
]},
{"time":3,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]}
]},
{"time":10,"loop":10,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["0"]},
{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.print.speeds","params":["0"]}
]}
]
Works with GTX1060 Smiley

Just copy paste and chage to your wallet address, be sure that you modify default_command_file.json as it is the default config file.

Open another terminal while the node is running and generate a new address. If you already have an address, just run
Code:
./votecoin-cli z_getbalance *address*
inside src directory.

Thanks for help, I tried to use it on Windows bash shell, and that is the reason why it did not worked.
I took another approach and installed VMware player and ubuntu on virtual mahine, and than I got my address Smiley
Now mining with excavator on Windows Smiley

(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)

I just cloned git, and built VoteCoin, than checked and appendend lines in conf and run it...am I doing it wrong?
How to check my balance and current adress, that I should enter into minine configuration? Chow to check my current "VoteCoinTaddress" and configure it in miner?
