there seems to be a bug -
each time when i re-open the daemon+terminal -

i type 'account'

then it see nothing (even though i have multiple addresses with balance on them)

then, after a few minutes -  i re-type 'account'  and then i can finally see all my addresses and balances


it seems like it takes a few minutes to re-sync or something ..

it's a bit confusing because every time you re open the daemon it appears to be an empty wallet for the first few minutes ..


tell me if i wasn't understood

Yes, every time the daemon is started, it takes time to synchronize. Nowhere is written how much money you have on your wallet. At each launch, all balances are recalculated. First, the daemon should read the saved blocks from the disk. Then it requests the missing blocks from the network. This takes time. Therefore, every time you start the daemon, you first need to make sure that you are connected to the network, then that you are synchronized, and then enter other commands, such as an 'account'. In general, the purpose of the daemon is to work constantly, and the terminal can be connected and disconnected from it from time to time.

thanks, it makes sense now

maybe there should be a message saying 'syncing.. type stats for more info" when the terminal starts

1. please send me some testnet coins to one of my addresses below
2. why do I have so many keys created ? i only called the command 'keygen' twice, but it created many many addresses
3. which one is the private key and which is the public ? there are 2 tuples of 'key 0', 'key 1' etc.

thanks

2-3. At first time run one key is created automatically, it is key 0.
When you type 'keygen' command, another key is created.
You type this command twice, so you have 3 keys: key 0 created at program startup + key 1 and key 2 created after typing the command 'keygen'.

The listed above strings like B487AigM67lJ7BrBp1zCRhvEVVNOHoIP are not your public or private keys.
These are you addresses. Because address = block, each block created by your host is also your address.
So, you have many addresses because your host created many blocks.

Each address corresponds to a key. For example, address B487AigM67lJ7BrBp1zCRhvEVVNOHoIP corresponds to key 0.
Addresses are needed to inform other people and they could transfer money to this address.
But to withdraw money from the address, you need to have a private key corresponding to this address.

Private keys itself are stored in the file wallet.dat. Each key is 32 bytes long.
There are 3 keys so the length of the file wallet.dat should be 96 bytes.
For the test net the file is wallet-testnet.dat instead of wallet.dat



thanks a lot, it is now understood.

and yes, my testnet wallet.dat is exactly 96 bytes.

another question:

is it enough to backup wallet.dat + dnet_ket.dat in order to make a backup for my account ? or are there more files i need to backup ?

good point,
although i would be more interested in the project if it had a REAL commit history.

couldn't he just push to github once it's done?

another point -
the code is very concise - this is a good thing, not a bad one .
but it makes me wonder - so little code for a functional coin ?

The project was launched on November 15. This does not include the transport layer - it is a well-tested program for 2 years. So little code - yes, everything is simplified as much as possible. Of course, it will not work if there are many hosts or a lot of transactions, but this is due to imperfect transport layer. The history of the initial commits is there, but it is integrated into my private home repository. I can publish the output of git log from which the contact information was deleted.

thanks for answering.

yes, i guess it could be useful to show your private git log but not necessary if you are afraid of disclosing private info .

regardless, looks like an interesting project.

what is your background in crypto and programming in general, if i may ask ?

first commit - 4 days ago .

how is this possible ? 4 days to create a new crypto from scratch? something does not feel right, i will be happy to be corrected
