Re: [ANN][NEOS]Neos v2.0.1 Released - Official Upgrade Thread - Performance & More

I tried deleting the blockchain, after downloading it again it was still not working, same blank white screen Sad
 
I renamed the Neos-2.1 folder in %AppData% to OLD_Neos-2.1, rebooted and re-installed the Neos wallet.

The wallet works fine now but when I copied the wallet.dat file over from \AppData\Roaming\Neos-2.1\neos-data it says the wallet is empty?

I didn't delete but renamed the original Neos-2.1 folder so I do still have all the original files?

Any ideas on how to get the coins back? Should I be using the wallet.dat file from C:\Program Files (x86)\Neos\neos-data ?

Thanks for any help Smiley

TwoTurtles, did you send the message on IRC?
Sorry I didn't see it, we did have a power cut, not sure if it was same night?

Still same ol' blank white screen on the wallet Sad

I set the exchange to auto trade to BTC until I can get the wallet to startup. I'll take a copy of the wallet.dat file just in case Smiley

I might give uninstalling and reinstalling then replace the wallet.dat file and see how that goes.

Can anyone tell me where is the wallet.dat located for the Neos wallet?

I don't think its in the normal %appdata% location, any help appreciated Smiley

I think its easier to pull the wallet.dat file and install a new wallet on another computer and put the wallet.dat file back.

I just need to access the Neos in the wallet so I can transfer it to the exchange.

Many thanks

We did go through this briefly last week in chat on IRC. I disabled the AV tried stopping and starting the wallet but again blank screen.

Tried the same steps after a cold boot but same blank white web page instead of the wallet Sad

You did mention when we spoke last week that we were going to attempt a Teamview session so you could take a look.

Not sure why but the teamview session didn't take place so I still have a dead wallet and coins building up in the exchange Sad

Having some issues with the wallet. Was working fine up to a few weeks ago.

Now all I get is a blank page. I tried using the launcher to stop then restart Neos and then clicked "open wallet" button but still blank.
I've tried Firefox, IE, Chrome and safari, all have the same blank white page: http://127.0.0.1:18000/wallet.php

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, all updates installed and 32GB RAM. Not sure if its relevant but I did register for the Windows 10 upgrade (not installed yet).

I have removed my Neos wallet addy from the exchange so there are no payments coming through.

I think there's about 1,200 Neos in the wallet otherwise I'd just delete and re-install.

Any help appreciated Smiley

Syntaks,
Many thanks for the response. The missing coin is not a huge amount, it's more frustrating losing coin after miners humming away earning them. Your offer to replace missing coin is very kind and much appreciated. As mentioned before the amount is not huge so please don't worry about recovering or replacing the missing coin from your own pocket.

I have had NO issues with iSpace payouts, all have been received with no issues barring the recent problem with NEOS. I've mined iSpace for a long time since they were only a Tigercoin pool and never had problems that weren't resolved quickly.

The QT wallet was v1.0.0.0. I did backup the wallet.dat file before running the upgrade. There were no coins in the wallet before the upgrade so no losses there. It was after I had noted the new primary address and updated my iSpace payout address that the coins went missing between pool and wallet. Coins were leaving iSpace and were arriving in the new wallet, after a few days they stopped arriving in the new wallet?

I only tested the opening of the NEOS wallet then other wallets once so perhaps I should test a little more to try and give you an idea of what might be causing the issues. Before the upgrade all the other alt coin wallets seemed fine.

As a precaution I have disabled the services for NEOS. I don't really want a wallet having services or background software running on my PC.

As I said in previous post. I do like the idea of a web based wallet. I wanted to let you know some of the issues I'd had in case anyone else had experienced similar issues.

@infernoman, Asking for help with this problem, not really, the amount of coin missing didn't warrant me spending that much of anyone's time to resolve it. I rarely end up with NEOS coin so didn't see this would be an ongoing problem for me.

So, I haven't fired up the Neos wallet for a while. iSpace removed it from the multipools so had no need to open the wallet.

Recently iSpace added NEOS back into it's multipool 1. So, I updated to the latest wallet... backed up wallet.dat etc. first

So my views on the new wallet?

I Hate it, I like the concept a web based wallet an all but...

The primary address for the new wallet was different to the original wallet?
All the addresses that were setup in the original wallet address book are gone?
The primary wallet address seems to change on reboot?


So, I updated the new primary wallet addy on iSpace and waited for the coins to roll in...

I could see me getting blocks, coins and even see the coins being moved from unconfirmed to confirmed. They didn't reach my wallet though?

I checked the new pool payout addy against the primary addy in my wallet and they've changed? Plus, all the addresses I had setup in the new wallet were also gone?
No, I don't use a virtual machine and no I haven't installed the wallet again, I don't know why this has happened.

So, payouts from the pool are going god knows where and I have lost all of the small amount of NEOS I mined Sad

If that wasn't bad enough, once the NEOS wallet has been opened many of my other altcoin wallets now won't open unless I reboot?

After a reboot, I open NEOS web wallet, try to open others and I get "Unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:(any port) on this computer. COIN_NAME is probably already running."

If I reboot and DON'T open NEOS the other wallets open fine.

I then started poking around and realised that the new NEOS wallet had added services? I don't want a wallet that buries itself into my PC by adding services.

Not that I mined much NEOS but needless to say after recent experiences I won't be mining NEOS, FFC or MZC or using multipools any longer.

There are too may coins with flakey wallets or exchanges whose wallets have been in maintenance for so long it isn't worth mining the coin any longer as you can't trade it #Cryptsy!

It's hard/impossible to make ROI as it is, these problems just make the ROI even harder to achieve.

I applaud the concept and the information and features available in the new wallet but for me it simply doesn't work Sad

Sorry NEOS

Cryptsy deposit problems in 2015
by
captainpugwash
on 17/01/2015, 11:13:52 UTC
I am interested to know if there are other miners/traders out there having issues with deposits going missing on Cryptsy?

So far this year I have had 4 deposits, each has had hundreds or thousands of confirms. Problem is the coin never arrived at Cryptsy?

I have raised tickets from each missing deposit but get some lame email saying that 2nd level are dealing with it. There are no updates and the coin I had deposited whilst prices were climbing have now crashed Sad

Apart from not getting to make a few coins trading the missing coins I am also pissed off that Cryptsy don't seem to give a shit?

Missing deposits were Firefly and Mazacoin. After I deposited the Firefly the wallet went into maintenance and hasn't come out? Cryptsy seem to have no idea when the 'maintenance' will be finished?

Mazacoin happened more recently. When the price started climbing I realised a had some in the wallet, thought I'd get them on Cryptsy and sell while the price was high.

Again nothing on the missing Mazacoins, no communication and shit default excuses from Cryptsy Sad

I hate to say it but I think we need regulation in crypto. The main reason is we are the ones taking all the risks, none of the exchanges are accountable and we pay for their losses in most cases.

Re: [DeM]UPDATE! - Deutsche eMark - DEM - cryptocoin SHA256 POS/POW
by

on 20/11/2014, 17:28:09 UTC
Thanks for the reply LightSplasher. Wallet Help > About eMark says "eMark version v1.1.0.0-oro"

I knew about the hard fork and downloaded the wallet from their website.

I then realised it was the old version of the wallet so came back here and downloaded it from Github using the link on page 1.

After deleting all but the wallet.dat file 24 hours ago the wallet now says "~23898 blocks remaining"

The blocks remaining was going down but has been at 23898 since last night.

I've tried looking at the debug.log file but it is 1,963,432 kb!!!

Not sure what to do now?

Short of deleting the wallet.dat file I've removed all the old wallet files?

I tried deleting the DEM database and all other files in the %AppData% folder except the wallet.dat file and tried to download the whole lot again.

When trying to use the wallet before it stuck with around 1600 blocks, this time is has stalled on "23691 blocks remaining"?

I noticed on my i7 CPU peaked at around 35%, at the same time the wallet would also appear to freeze.

With no wallet working I need to pull all miners away from DEM. No point mining it if you can't get it in your wallet or trade it on an exchange Sad

I've updated to the new wallet and I am having some weird issues. Instead of the "xxxx blocks remaining" message going down the blocks remaining is going up?

EDIT:- Using an i7 3.1GHz and the new wallet is using 11% of CPU?

If you try to even select the wallet you get "not responding message". All my wallets run OK except this new DEM wallet?

Seems to be determined to hog all my PC resources and still not updating?

Any help appreciated as I have around 4 weeks of coins to synch with my wallet Sad

Re: BITMAIN Antminer S3 support and OverClocking thread

on 16/10/2014, 21:42:14 UTC
Just had a few more S3's from B10 delivered all working fine except for 1.

I setup the miner restarted it, found it on its new IP. I can SSH into it but cannot manage it through the web GUI.

Anyone else had this problem?

Any suggestions?

I tried resetting it, again went in on 192.168.1.99 and reconfigured it, soon as it reboots you can't manage it from a web browser?

I checked the pool and its happily mining away, I just cant manage it Sad

I did wonder about flashing the firmware to see if that fixes it?

If anyone can offer any help/suggestions I'd be grateful.

EDIT:- I reset the S3 to factory settings and flashed the firmware, all good now Smiley

They are charging me £214 for my S3 delivery to the UK + the import duty + VAT @ 20%

I know I cant compete in mining BTC which I why I have stuck with the alt coins and trading them like mad to earn BTC.

I can see the end is nigh for me mining, this will be the last batch of miners for me.

With now crazy prices and DOA miners from the last batch of S3's I bought it's time to get out Sad

Are you sure? When I add a pair of S3's to cart for UK it gives me:
0.65 via DHL or ~0.42 via UPS. That should be £144 or £92.

The import duty is usually £7 via UPS or DHL and is paid regardless if you order a box of air or a box of diamonds - its a handling charge.
The VAT @ 20% is charged by the government and is nothing to do with Bitmain.

I added 3 to the cart and delivery via DHL was 0.948 BTC.



I've bought over a dozen S1's and S3's and normally only in pairs, each time VAT/import duty was between £80 and £180 for each pair.

In a few cases the $ value Bitmain put for the item was higher much than the actual BTC $ value so I ended up paying more (only happened on 2 deliveries).

Got my shipping info but still gutted I ended up with 3 and not the planned 5 S3's I was hoping for.

Would be useful to get Bitmain to put on the S3 product listing that delivery is extra.

TY Dogie
Are the S3's ever going to launch?

...
Dogie, you have the ear of Bitmain is there any news on the S3 B10 launch other than "It's the Chinese New Year"?

I am tempted to buy a few of the 1.4T Prisma miners if the S3's don't go back on sale soon.

I'll try and find out. With BTC price @ $300 though, I wouldn't be too hopeful.

Dogie warned we might not like the S3 price when released, but when will it be released and how much?

The price of the S4 was just TOOOOOOOO high a BTC price tag for me. Bitmain equipment all the way but not at the price of the S4.

With the first wave of retail S4's being delivered with just a few 'technical issues' the S4 is looking even more of a NO, NO in my book.

Bitmain staff went mental and started smoking crack on the job.

In other news, Bitmain staff were seen eating noodles laced with opium. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-29312562

Result: Everyone at Bitmain is tripping and set a crazy ass price for the S4 Sad
