Today build in miner was working fine but at the afternoon gave this error.

Code:
2016-10-27 18:26:46 QubitcoinMiner started
2016-10-27 18:26:46 Error in QubitcoinMiner: Keypool ran out, please call keypoolrefill before restarting the mining thread

This happens when your list of keys have been all used by the miner. Your wallet is probably locked, so it can't create new addresses for you.

You can manually top up your key pool with:

walletpassphrase 'mypassword' 1000
keypoolrefill

I think the miner should automatically refill the keypool if you mine with your wallet unlocked, I haven't checked this myself.

QubitCoin 0.11.2.2

* Increase default maximum fee
* UI text changes

Win32, Win64 and OSX versions:

https://github.com/willowrose/QubitCoin/releases/tag/v0.11.2.2

Note, VirusTotal detects 3 potential issues with the Win32 version, but as far as I can tell those are false positives.

When I try to send some Qubits my wallet freezes i.e. spinning beachball of death.
Any ideas what I can do, it's the mac wallet v0.11.2.1

I tried sending on OSX 10.11 and it worked on my setup. Which version of OSX are you using? Does it always happen? Maybe try reindex or redownloading the blockchain.

Good news!

What about diff being so big that no new block shown in about 15-20 minutes? :-)

Code:

    "blocks" : 2021151,


Qubit retargets every 20 blocks, by cutting difficulty up to half. It is possible to modify the algorithm, but it will require a hard fork. Even if we change difficulty with every block, there's not much you can do when 90% of the hash rate is suddenly removed, it is going to take time to find the next block before it adjusts, and then it will also take a few more blocks to adjust to target.

willowrose -maxtxfee= work fine thx!

Great! I'll change the default in the next release.

We currently use the default of 1000 satoshi's / byte (carried over from the Bitcoin code base) as transaction fee. A satoshi in Bitcoin (0.00000001) is smaller than a Satoshi in Qubitcoin (0.00001).

I did a transaction with 35 inputs and the fee was about 0.2 Q2C, which seems acceptable to me. Lowering fees will probably require a hard fork, otherwise old nodes will reject the lower fee transactions.

So...

tl;dr

If someone is shitting blocks like a machine gun and network diff is not able to catch up, so blocks still come out in 1 sec periods between them
pool is not able to make all its work and stops working

TODO;

re-target diff from block to block in good way.


The difficulty or speed of blocks is not related to the 'transaction too large' error you get.

A 'transaction too large' error is when you have too many inputs that make up a transaction, causing a transaction that is too large (in bytes). You can solve this by combining the inputs by sending it to a new address.

See here for more information:

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/37172/transaction-too-large-error
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5583/how-can-i-combine-all-the-tiny-amounts-ive-received-to-minimise-transaction-fee



Thanks for trying to help, but this is not exactly "Transaction too large" but "Transaction too large for fee policy" error, which is quite different story.
In other coin pool I was easy able to make single transactions of 20k coins made of many parts of which no single one was bigger than 15 coins, with few screens of tx moving thru the screen.
Here I can't make payout of 40 from 40*1coin, where 1 coin is full block reward :-D
Still, transactions as big as 10 coins go out without problem. For me it is more this coin wallet transaction limit,
what I just confirmed by manually sending 100 coins, with result:

Code:

This is really a joke, you can't send more than 12 coins, made of parts of 1 coin.

I'm also even more worried about other error E0005, which stops payouts in 1st place, and occurs, as I said, when new blocks start to flood wallet.


Try using a larger transaction fee.




Code:
./qubitcoin-cli help sendtoaddress
sendtoaddress "bitcoinaddress" amount ( "comment" "comment-to" subtractfeefromamount )

Send an amount to a given address. The amount is a real and is rounded to the nearest 0.00000001

Arguments:
1. "bitcoinaddress"  (string, required) The bitcoin address to send to.
2. "amount"      (numeric, required) The amount in btc to send. eg 0.1
3. "comment"     (string, optional) A comment used to store what the transaction is for.
                             This is not part of the transaction, just kept in your wallet.
4. "comment-to"  (string, optional) A comment to store the name of the person or organization
                             to which you're sending the transaction. This is not part of the
                             transaction, just kept in your wallet.
5. subtractfeefromamount  (boolean, optional, default=false) The fee will be deducted from the amount being sent.
                             The recipient will receive less bitcoins than you enter in the amount field.

Result:
"transactionid"  (string) The transaction id.


Code:
./qubitcoin-cli sendtoaddress GUBxdJx6iqBDxuWVHhZ2CbzZu5dmzCt5Ve 50 "" "" true
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Transaction too large for fee policy"}


Still not working :-D

Try running the wallet with -maxtxfee=1

Let me know if that works.

We might have to change the fee policy defaults in a next release to reduce the required fee.

The different block chains is due to the new 0.11 clients starting to enforce the soft-forks from Bitcoin (BIP34, BIP65, etc).

These are enforced if a certain number of blocks are mined on the new wallet.

Since the majority seems to be on the new wallet, I suggest everyone upgrade to the new version to remain compatible.

To get the fork info on the new wallet you can type:

getblockchaininfo

I've been running 0.8.4.1 on a mac since April 2014, the last couple of days I get the message
'Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade.'
As there is no new mac wallet available, what do I do? 
Type in the above commands in Debug Window/Console?

Here's a Mac build I created from the 0.11.2.1 source. Give it a try:

can not see work qubitcoin wallet process, a vps with 1gb ram, maybe here is the problem?

Looks like some file format issue.

Are you sure your wallet was created with the same version of bdb 4.8.30? If you compile with different versions of bdb your wallets won't be compatible.

Blockchain stoped working the old wallets 8.4.1-8.4.3 are on block 2008003 things not going very well.
New wallet 11.2.1 ccminer fails on json_rpc_call.
To many problems again.
Two blockchains working in parallel the old wallets on block 2008003 at this moment and the new wallet on block 2008990.
Never liked unnecessary upgrade.

In later Bitcoin they changed the rpc interface. It now uses a new call "getblocktemplate"

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Getblocktemplate

Have you tried an updated miner? This one looks like it supports qubit and getblocktemplate:

How to mine with this new wallet??
"setgenerate true" or anyone else command doesn't work..
.conf file is same or I must change tham (port or something)?



If you're using linux, the commands are done with the new qubitcoin-cli utility, for example, old:

qubitcoind --daemon
qubitcoind getinfo
qubitcoind setgenerate true 1


With the new wallet:

qubitcoind --daemon
qubitcoin-cli getinfo
qubitcoin-cli setgenerate true 1

willowrose you can explain what happened to my ~500. 000 q2c, which were gone from the wallet when sending you a donate

The change from your transaction goes to one of your other addresses. This is how all Bitcoin based crypto currencies work.

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/1629/why-does-bitcoin-send-the-change-to-a-different-address

Your balance should only decrease by the amount you send.

Edit:

Your second transaction was sent from the change you received in the first transaction, so obviously you have control of the change.
