I cant get the old BLAS wallet to sync... 0 connections. Are there any nodes for me to add to the conf file?

Just in case there is someone out there who is not on Discord / Telegram / Twitter / Slack. Here's a kickass video on ECC

Whats the slack invite link? I cant find one here or on the website.

Try this one.

Got it from the discord channel:

Bootstrapping is a temporary fix for a network performance problem that the
wallet has with the initial sync.  This performance problem will be fixed in a
future version of the wallet, eliminating the need to use a bootstrap file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS

Place the bootstrap.dat file inside of your ECC datadir and restart your daemon

Your datadir is most likely in
Windows - C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\eccoin
Linux - ~/.eccoin

Once the bootstrap is loaded, the daemon will rename the bootstrap file to
bootstrap.dat.old and download any remaining blocks from the network.

In case the import is interrupted, you can rename bootstrap.dat.old back to
bootstrap.dat and restart the daemon.  It will skip through the blocks that
have already been imported.

It is safe to delete bootstrap.dat.old

You can get assistance with the bootstrap on the ECC #bootstrap slack channel.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDITIONAL NOTES
This method of loading the blockchain eliminates the network overhead of the
daemon downloading the blockchain.  The time to load the bootstrap.dat is
entirely dependent on your system's resources (CPU, disk, etc...)  In testing,
I was able to load the entire bootstrap in less than 4 hours on my laptop with
an SSD drive.

There is a possible risk of downloading the raw blk00001.dat,blk000002.dat,...
files as a bootstrap.  The risk is that someone could have maliciously altered
the blocks that would put you in an invalid fork of the blockchain.  Loading the
bootstrap.dat file is a better method.  The reason it's better is because each
block is verified as it's imported.  It uses the same verification process as
downloading the blockchain over the network.

The 200 confirmations is kinda ridiculous. I've seen a few exchanges do that with a few coins. Just curious, any idea why they do that? The wallet just requires 6 confirmation. Sending GUN to Cryptopia translates to about 7-9 hours of wait time. Whereas sending from the exchange to your wallet is pretty quick... like a few minutes 

Im trying to update to v1.3 wallet on the mac and getting this error:



Any ideas? Im on Sierra 10.12.6. The previous version (v1.2) was opening fine, but had the 1111111 in the address problem.

EDIT: Actually no... everything looks fine. I deleted everything except the wallet.dat and reopened. Its working and syncing. It was showing that error when the old files were still in the directory

No I'm on a Mac and running the mac wallet from the website / OP. Yes im talking about my address on the wallet... it all starts with many 1s after i updated to v1.2... im not really sure what i need to do in order to fix things (i just read buststar's message as that was talking about linux wallet.) Sorry... bit of a technical noob when it comes to these things. Should I just wait for a newer mac wallet to come out? Are the coins in my wallet safe?

Anybody seeing an error when withdrawing from Cryptopia? Says its not a valid Gun Address. The address all weirdly start with "1111111111111111111111....". Is that normal?

Hi, I'm a little confused here. Im seeing on the spreadsheet that my SMX number is zero and have not received any tokens for the signature campaign. I got a msg asking for my ETH address, but nothing came. Can someone clarify please?

I'm on the mac wallet. Just transferred coins from Coinexchange to my wallet two days ago, and everything looks fine. What do you mean Blockchain is broken? Is coinexchange and me both on some wrong chain or something?

Is there a slack channel? If not, any plans of having one?

Please add this list to the OP. Had a hard time wading through the forum pages to find this.  It doesnt work with just the three nodes mentioned in the current OP. Also, is there a slack channel for GUN? Or is bitcointalk the preferred medium for communication and discussions?

Any idea why CoinExchange show a warning about issues with the wallet and to withdraw in small amounts? Or has it already been fixed and its just a matter of CE not updating their website?

Hi,
I would like to try Gambit indicators.
Thank you.

Just sent you a PM with two e-books I need.

LOL... seriously, gtfo with that crap. Show proof of acceptance of the nVidia or Google grant program. I don't see anything on the winner's list. 

Yup... that's fair... if both the seller and buyer doesn't want escrow, then that's their gamble. Sellers with asking price is an excellent idea as well. None of that "PM me for prices" nonsense. Exceptions only for customized items/services where the price depends on buyer's specifications/requirements.

What makes you think the seller isn't protected. If the item is as per description, then the money is released to the seller. If the seller says it works, and the buyer says it doesnt, then its only common sense that the buyer returns the product and the money released back to the seller after the tracking number confirms receipt. The only loss for both parties is shipping costs... so not sure why either party would subject themselves to that loss. Escrows are trusted members of the community who are mediators who resolves disputes, dictate the terms of the trade, suggest fraud prevent measures that's fair for both parties. They are not just a mechanical third party who holds the money till the buyer receives their item. An escrow is putting up his reputation on the line for a win-win fair trade to take place... and that is usually more priceless than the value of the item sold.

LOL... its a ticker symbol. One doesnt have to be Indian to make a coin called Rupee. Just like one doesnt have to be American to make a coin called USD. One does not also have to be an alien to make aliencoin or a bird to make feathercoin.
