I have upgraded my Bitcoin ABC daemon to 0.17.2 version and got stuck on block 530361
Any ideas ?
Any ideas ?
Me too. I was running Bitcoin ABC 0.16.1 and it got stuck on block 530361 (same on two different installations).
I've read somewhere that the network protocol changed after block 530361.
Then I downloaded the latest 17.3.0 but it still doesn't work.
However I'd need to keep 0.16.1 because - as to my knowledge - later versions don't work with Armory.
Anybody knows how to get it un-stuck from block 530361 ?
I'd replace 0.96 with the latest version (0.96.3.992 as of right now) unless you have specific reasons for using specific versions, but yes, that should work.
I actually put a TAG= at the beginning, and then $TAG where needed.What I wanted to know was:
- why the two lines "git submodule init" and "git submodule update" are repeated twice in the instructions, isn't one time sufficient, and where is the best position to put them in the script
- previous post by goatpig seemed to suggest that the line: "git tag -v v0.96" goes before "git checkout v0.96" so I wanted to make certain, if recommended way is different from instructions on the web site, what is the suggested order of the instructions, and possibly remove the redundant ones
why build Armory?
I thought you should never trust precompiled binaries and if you care about your coins, you should always build from source?I don't think there are submodules in ABC's repo. At least there are none in Core, so ABC would have had to had to add submodules recently. It won't do anything to initialized submodules on a repo that has none, but I'd rather people know that this step has no effect. That aside, this is a acceptable procedure. Note that you can verify a tag without checking it out. It's actually preferable to first verify the signature on the tag then to check it out than otherwise.
Thank you for the clarification. So what would be the preferable procedure in case of Armory? According to the instructions here:
https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/blob/master/linuxbuild/Linux_build_notes.md#ubuntu-build-instructions
it would be (quoting literally, just stripping the comments):
$ git clone https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory.git
$ cd BitcoinArmory
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ git checkout v0.96
$ git tag -v v0.96
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
Re: suspicious "connected to self" inboud/outbound connections
Yes I do have a "addnode=127.0.0.1" in my bitcoin.conf
Why? Bitcoin Core does not need to connect to itself. Addnod'ing your local node is why this is happening. You don't need to have addnode set to use Armory either.Re: suspicious "connected to self" inboud/outbound connections
Yes I do have a "addnode=127.0.0.1" in my bitcoin.conf
Also I use Armory but I'm pretty sure it wasn't running that day, and when it's Armory, it's just ONE inbound connection at 127.0.0.1:xxxxx and also bitcoin core tells it is Armory
By the way this morning I found it again. Restarted bitcoin core and it only gets normal inbound connections.
It looks like those two inbound/outbound matching connections appear after some hours of work (i.e. I leave it running while I sleep).

By the way as you asked how to improve your guide you may want to detail how to get the sources of the v0.16.1.0 version of bitcoinABC
I found the binaries at https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.16.1/I wrote "sources"
and also "v0.16.1.0" according your instructions What I did (within a script) was:
git clone https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc.git
cd bitcoin-abc
TAG=v0.16.1
git checkout $TAG
git tag -v $TAG
git submodule init
git submodule update
It gave some errors, but overall it worked.
Please note I used "v0.16.1" instead of "v0.16.1.0" otherwise it didn't work at all.
Maybe the git experts here can suggest a better way to do it? Missing specific instructions for Bitcoin-ABC I used same script I use for Armory (just changed the TAG) but it appears the two repositories are setup differently...
Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: Bitcoin Core 0.15.1
Operating System: Ubuntu
Description of Problem: I'm running a bitcoin core full node some hours a day since years now and it never got more than 8 connections.
This morning after leaving it run all night there were 10 connections (never happened before).
But two connections were from 127.0.0.1 and looked somehow "symmetrical" meaning that one was "inbound", the other was "outbound", and the amounts of "Sent" and "Received" bytes were crossed e.g. one was Sent: 107 Kb Received: 185 Kb the other was Sent: 185 Kb Received: 107 Kb
debug.log contains several entries in the form:
2018-01-22 xxxxxx connected to self at 127.0.0.1:xxxxx, disconnecting
While it nearly looks legit I've never seen this before so I'm wondering has my system been compromised?

Thank you very much. I had exact same problem (ArmoryDB not connecting to bitcoinABC) and was struggling since months. Could not figure out I had to downgrade to an older version, was quite doing the opposite (looking for the latest versions of everything).
Now I hope I can finally spend my BCH.
By the way as you asked how to improve your guide you may want to detail how to get the sources of the v0.16.1.0 version of bitcoinABC (I'm saying this because, differently than Armory which gives step by step instructions for this, I could find no similar instructions for bitcoinABC)..

hopebit, did you try it with the procedure in the first post of this thread?
What step exactly doesn't work, with what result?

No, I didn't try it, because it's dated Aug 6 and it's followed by 8 pages of discussion and I think there are now different versions of the software involved (armory, bitcoin core etc.) which may have different features. Also the procedure contains some "IF"... I would like to know what's the procedure up to date, and what exactly to do in my case without "IF" (hat's why I posted my personal situation).
Also I was secretly hoping that Amory would have been upgraded with some "magic button" which does the whole procedure automagically with no risk to make errors, lose privacy etc.
I for one, am struggling since months trying to figure out how to "claim" my BCH (and am so mad I couldn't sell them a few days ago when their value peaked).
I would love so much if somebody could give me step-by-step & safe instructions.
My current situation is:
- latest bitcoin core (full node) installed, up and running on local computer
- latest armory ( 0.96.3.99-beta ) compiled from source from github, can see all my BTC
- bitcoinABC compiled from source from github and NEVER LAUNCHED
- ONLY ONE COMPUTER
- did _NO_ transactions with BTC since before the fork, in order to make things easier
If somebody could help so that I can start using my BTC (and BCH) again, that would be very much appreciated. I guess there may be thousands other persons in same uncomfortable situation.

So it looks like Mining Sweden is legit as they actually have the hardware doing the mining.
Shouldn't they be listed here then?

Re: ------------> BECAREFULL FROM THE BIT-X Debit CARD !!- <---------------
I don't even understand the need for this discussion.
Even with old-style flat currency banks,
you can have one million $ stored in your accunt
but your credit card will still have daily/monthly spending limits.
And limits in the amount that can be withdraws from a ATM. Etc.
You can't withdraw one million in a single operation from a ATM.
That's for your safety so in case one steals your card and password,
they can't empty your account very quickly.
Which leaves you a chance to lock your acount and limit the damage.

Hello, /anxprobyt]ANX here. May I ask how is our questionnaire ridiculous? They are simple questions. BitStamp will suddenly freeze your funds and require you to complete a longer questionnaire, including how you got your bitcoins and why you are selling them for fiat, or vice-versa.
We'd love to hear your feedback.

Hello, ANX, just for your information, I am another user that was meaning to buy bitcoins via your service and got scared away when I saw that questionnaire.
Ther's no way I'll put my life in danger by publishing all that information just to buy a few BTC. It's not worth that.

When it comes to PACMICz, I consider it a loan to BitMain/Hashnest, which I quickly get back with a decent interest rate. With the paid back load + interest I can re-invest it anyway I want. At the end, we as customers get the option to invest in S6s.
Win-win.
Win-win.
Where can you invest on S6 on Hashnest? I can only find S5

Just a clarification about the much used term ROI (return on investment). I just want to make sure everyone's talking about the same thing.
Someone told me the other day that they had bought some hash contract for let's say 1BTC. It is not transferable or resaleable.
Its only value is its projected earnings. He was very happy to tell me that, over 4 months, he had cumulatively received back in small payments 1BTC and that his ROI was 100%.
I have a conventional fiat business background and said no, your ROI is 0%. The 'asset' that you paid 1BTC for has no fungible value so it is a -1BTC on your balance sheet, which also contains a +1 from your earnings, equalling zero, which is the ROI you would have if the contract stopped paying now.
Up until break even, you are just receiving your own money back.
No need for any abuse here (probably get it anyway), it's a serious question because I can see some newbies seeing claims of 150% ROI meaning 150% profit.

I, too, have noticed the word "ROI" is being used incorrectly here, which is very confusing. Here people measures ROI in days so they probably mean "time for reaching the break even point". I'm trying to get used to it but still uncomfortable.

nexusmining.com is SCAM !!
NEVER EVER SEND MONEY TO NEXUSMINING
Paid for hash power 4 days ago in BTC, never got the hashpower, site says the contract is "expired" and they don't answer email.
Wrote them uncountable times, only one answer telling bullshit and received from a gmail account (!)
"live chat" is always offline
Isn't there any way to have authorities bring down the sites of these scammers?

You were lucky, or you work for them.
I've bought hash on Sunday and until now no hash credited (4 days passed).
Written them seven times and got only one bullshit answer from a gmail account.
It's not Ponzi, it's just SCAM
If I can't get my money back I want at least everybody read this and they get not a single penny from anyone anymore ever
