Nope, just the wallet.dat (and the logs and peers.dat).  There's a .lock file dated 7/2 though...

I do have wallet backups taken before the last 3 updates. Perhaps there's an issue with the most recent one. I had 4.0.2 running often (and staked quite a bit) since roughly 8/14/2015...

Perhaps I should try the wallet.dat from 7/2?

try the oldest one.

That seems to have worked, waiting on the 2 hour blockchain catchup. Sent 5 FLAP to menlatin, no confirmations yet...

edit: All good now Smiley

So any idea why my wallet balance went from 55+ MFLAP to 0.00013555709161 MFLAP.

All the transactions that add up to the 55+ show up in the ledger  Huh


Actually, my balance is 0, the unconfirmed balance is 0.00013555709161  Sad

Also, part of block 700779 appears to be a POS transaction to me for 398,608.56228901 FLAP, which doesn't show up in the ledger or (obviously) my balances...

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/flap/block.dws?700779.htm


you are reading the block explorer wrong. the first transaction is Generation + fees (0 coins), the second transaction is what you staked
it looks like you staked 10 flap and made a profit of 0.00549315 FLAP which will be added to your balance one the staking blokc matures.

the other two transactions were people just sending coins on the chain to other wallets. they have nothing to do with your wallet and you wont gain coins from them, you just processed their transactions.


edit: did you add rescan=1 to your config file?

Rescanning now Smiley

edit: BTW, the first of the other two transactions are all from addresses in my wallet to the POS address in my wallet (and the other 0.88 flap to someone else).  I didn't send any of those, I haven't sent anything in months...

Rescan finished, no change to balances Sad

in your wallet folder where your chain and wallet.dat are stored. there isnt a wallet.bak or anything else in there is there?

Are you looking at this from inside your wallet?  I'd say it is because they are currently staking, if you want to prevent this you can encrypt your wallet (however you won't earn any coins unless you unlock it for a while).  If your not looking at it from inside your wallet I'd say open it and check the staking balance.

I shut everything down and restarted the wallet, balance and stake at 0, unconfirmed still at 0.00013555709161 MFLAP

If I can start getting confirmation. If you guys could post your flap address I want to sent a few dozen transactions to trace them. Make sure they are propogating throughout the nodes correctly.

Post your addresses. You must be on 2.0.0.1. This is not confirmation you can send or receive yet, this is just for testing purposes.

We still need to confirm this fix works for people who could not run the wallet in the past.

Could you confirm transaction amounts flowing?

Should be:
1 million 500k 100k.

Got them, thanks Smiley

Okay first problem, it seems the blockchain won't go further than 5999... I see that there's a diffmode change at block 6000


in main.cpp
Code:
unsigned int static GetNextWorkRequired(const CBlockIndex* pindexLast, const CBlockHeader *pblock)
{
int DiffMode = 1;
if (fTestNet) {
if (pindexLast->nHeight+1 >= 50) { DiffMode = 2; }
}
else {
if (pindexLast->nHeight+1 >= 6000) { DiffMode = 2; } <----- this
}

if (DiffMode == 1) { return GetNextWorkRequired_V1(pindexLast, pblock); }
else if (DiffMode == 2) { return GetNextWorkRequired_V2(pindexLast, pblock); }
return GetNextWorkRequired_V2(pindexLast, pblock);
}

I hope that's not from the original source, that's pretty ugly logic there Sad

Do we have a bounty set up for the guy compiling the Windows wallet?

so we can expect the new wallet shortly?

thimo, are you doing a Gitian build or trying to build this with mingw on Windows?

I don't think you can get the expected executable without doing the Gitian build...
Im doing it with mingw and it seems to be working:

FLAPPY COIN HOSTILE TAKEOVER

Well maybe not so hostile given the current Devs are currently AWOL and the coin has hit rock bottom... also it would not technically be a takeover but a hard fork (There is currently a team looking to do just this with Litecoin). This has been proposed a few times in this thread, but I think it might be worth doing. Details below:

How would it work?

Technically it is not that difficult, the real hurdle is in the implementation and adoption. As the scrypt is all open source a new wallet can be created and a block number set to hard fork the coin. As of that block all users would be required to update their wallet and mine on the new fork.

New Dev/Team


These members would have to be agreed, and not just to cover technical side but anyone with enthusiasm and time to spare. It would also present an opportunity to change any details of the coin we wanted, block reward, difficulty retarget (adopt digishield?), scrpt algorithm (X11?), total number of coins etc. etc. Any ideas/innovations could also be built into the wallet or planned for a later update.

It may also be worth contacting the other set of Devs who were going to release a Flappy Coin until this one jumped the gun, they still hold a lot of the flappy website addresses and given the circumstances would probably be happy to help.

In order to avoid confusion it might also be worth changing the name slightly so people can be sure which fork they are on, (FLAPZ?)

Pool Operators and Exchanges


We would need the cooperation of pool operators to either agree to replace their flappy wallet with the our new version and advertise the mandatory update, or alternatively they could run both a FLAPZ and FLAP pool in unison. I don't see it being a problem getting at least a few pools running in time for the fork. As for exchanges, again probably not an issue getting listed on the B-list ones early on, but like any other coin it needs community support, liquidity and value to get listed on the larger exchanges ... which can come with time.

Personal Wallets

After updating your wallet you will inherit all your existing FLAPs you mined/purchased prior to the fork, which would now be FLAPZ. After this point only mining/transfers between the new wallets would be recognised by the new fork and it would not be possible to transfer coins between FLAP and FLAPZ chains.

It is also possible to keep both wallets in the short term, so if you had 1 Million FLAPs before the fork, you would still have 1 million FLAPs after the fork + 1 Million FLAPZ in the new wallet on the new fork.

Adding value and direction

This is not worth doing if the end result is just a clone of flappy coin. The coin needs ideas and innovations, many which have been suggested in this thread, agreeing these and a direction is a must. 

Currently FLAPs price is about as low as it could be and the mining difficulty is really low. So everyone would have the chance to mine and buy coins before the fork, which should help with an even distribution. After the fork there will also be over 50% of coins left to be mined so scope there to.

Way forward ...

STEP 1: This idea needs support so copy this and add your comments in this thread
STEP 2: Agree on the Devs and Team leaders
STEP 3: Modify the code, create the wallet and set a block number for the fork
STEP 4: Ensure pools are available and new website etc.
STEP 5: Count down the blocks and see what happens ...

So will you make a fortune off this, maybe not, but as a Flappy holder you have nothing to lose and if nothing else it would prove an interesting experiment in this ever evolving cryptocurrency landscape.


I agree with a hard fork. I am a Windows developer, C++ and .Net.  I have already forked the code on github but have not had the time to get familiar with it yet:

https://github.com/alcheByte/flappycoin

If we can get buy-in/acceptance from the community/pools we shouldn't need to rename it (right?) and everyone can maintain their investment in it to date...

Getting FLAP into mobile games as a form of in-game currency seems like the most obvious way to resuscitate the coin.

danfred has posted some of the issues related to scalability of these crypto wallets in general.  Perhaps one way way to get more game developer buy-in would be to create an open source back-end solution for managing transactions that each dev could host themselves rather than (or in addition to) a single third party centralized solution...

So what do we do?

We can either get the code and crap from the dev, take our coin back and actually use it properly, which might never happen cause devs are never here..

Make our own coin..

We can all just ditch, find something else..

Or we can wait for nothing.

It's not a negativity thing, it's logical, and economics, without any power, we can't do anything and we will watch this fall even harder.

Dev's seriously, give us the code, or tell us wtf you're up to, if you give no shits about the coin, that's fine, but tell the people.



The source code is already available:

https://github.com/flappycoin-project/flappycoin

We just need to fork it...and get a 'majority' to upgrade to our version (this is the hard part I suspect)

danfred is right, the 'developer' does not appear to have the skills required for FLAP to succeed and so far seems unwilling to accept help.

I'm fairly new to the crypto coin world, but aren't there already precedents where a coin has been forked by the community to overcome a developer deficit?
