yes that will help a lot. will give this a try today. thanks again!

thanks. I was able to add those nodes and am now connected.
now 3 years of blockchain to download. hopefully not more then a week to download.

recently I had a total hard drive failure and lost my entire HBN wallet, blockchain and all. I had to re- download HBN wallet. I do have my wallet.dat file from a backup to thumb drive from some time ago. I have been trying to reconnect to network to resync HBN but am seeing in debug go fill just thousands of "connect() failed after select(): Connection refused" For some reason none of the peers are letting me connect. Any suggestions for resyncing this wallet so I can import my wallet file and get back to my HBN?

I hope this doesn't happen too soon. Been trying to still resync my wallet for better part of week or so since my last post. block count still says a few weeks away from current blocks. I wish there was a more current jump start pack.

Yeah mine has done the same thing...again. I feel your pain. For me it seems once synced if I leave the wallet open, then it stays synced. If I close it for a day or two and try to resync a few hundred blocks, it stalls and never catches up, getting further and further away. I downloaded the fast start. hopefully syncs ok, but the fast start puts me further back then i was before, and is S-L-OOOOOOOOO-W to sync. Gonna have to leave it open another week just to catch up at this rate.
We really need a new walleet. FYI, I am running the OS X wallet.
All of these different crypto wallets have gotten too large and resource intensive to keep them open all the time. Some worse then others.
I was an early bitter coin adopter myself. Been here since the beginning.

what he said is also true.

What version is the old wallet you were using? Was this prior to coin exchange to new version? More info could help.

Dont blame you. This coin is dead. Got a lot of it. Dev disappeared. I guess he thought the coin would do something by itself. dunno. Oh well. Another coin worth nothing....

Looking good Fuzzy!

well you would be wrong. If you make accusations you should be able to support them.

As far as community, you obviously haven't been in our IRC room. #rubycoin.org on freenode. We consistently have over 80+ people in our room at all times.

Stop by and visit our community!

I agree. Wallet and chain need some help. Not sure how to fix. I am running a mac wallet and still waiting for an updated version so my wallet doesn't ALWAYS say WARNING: Checkpoint too old. Fortunately my wallet is fully synced but have to load terminal and increase max files for it to open properly.
Hopefully a new Mac wallet some day???
HBN needs some activity or something to bring the price back up.
I have been with hobo for about 21-22 months now and have been staking forever. Love the coin.Very happy with my stakes.
Not happy about price. Wish it would start going up again though. Already own close to 100k.

woohoo Ruby !!!

I agree. Of all the crypto coins I have been involved with in the last 2 years Ruby is the best of them! Great Stakes, Commited Dev, solid wallets, blockchain, TraderDaddy and more.

Ruby is a great coin! To infinity and beyond !

woohoo! New Ruby thread. Lots of great stuff going on in the Ruby world these days!

I will  +1 that !
I would find those features advantageous !

bestsponsor-

Try to be nice but ....

Removed to clear the air....

Thanks for clarification.

What was old version number you are able to use? What is the version of new one you are trying to use? 0.2.1 ?

Please consider joining our IRC for better help, real time.

The 50k needs to be on the exchange. Not in the wallet. If that doesn't help, stop by our IRC on freenode.  #rubycoin.org

woah! hold your horses before calling scam!

First, when was the last time you have been in this thread? or our IRC on freenode  #rubycoin.org  

Ruby Dev posted a LONG time ago regarding a coin swap because of problems with the early version of Rubycoin blockchain. There was a vulnerability that could not be resolved without changing from PoW to PoS. In the best interest of Rubycoin, decided by active community members on IRC, the coin would switch blockchains and move to PoS. There was a coin swap for EVERYONE that had coins on the old blockchain. ANYONE who was paying attention for atleast a month or two had notice of this change. Even after the swap, the Ruby Dev STILL honored the exchange, after the fact, and hooked up several people who had lost coin and missed the swap.

This coin swap happened last November 20th 2014.

Now its June 21 2015 and here you come strolling in calling the coin a scam. Maybe you should look at the last 9 plus months of this thread and notice that such a thing did happen. There was lots of notice to community.

You weren't here and missed the boat.

As far as Ruby coin goes....

I am not a Dev or involved in this coin other then a stake holder. Not just any stake holder but someone who has been around since week 1 of this coin being available to mine Ruby.

The Ruby Dev has been more then helpful compared to most other people I have met in the Crypto world in the last couple years.

Ruby is a great crypto coin. The Dev is solid and working on many projects to further the coin and increase its value and use.

Sorry you lost you coins. Its a little late to cry foul now.

They are available for sale on Bittrex and Polo now. Buy them back!

Ruby now stakes. Download new wallet and start staking!

Better buy them back before TD 2.0 is released by the Dev. Price will only gonna go up!
 

Dead & buried I guess. I got 500k of this coin early on. Had hoped for some early development. But that is the general response from the Dev. Sounds like 90% of the other dead coins out there. Only coins really doing well are ones where Dev is active. Oh well...I hope to hear good things about this coin in the future.
