I use Notepad ++ and whenever I load it, it sometimes tells me a new update is available, giving me the opportunity to update it.

Is there a way to do this with the wallet as well?

I have a question to the community. Can anyone think of why there might be duplicate blocks in the blockchain for Paccoin?

Explorer address: http://159.65.36.99:3001/

Here is an example of a recent duplicate:

I think Aktarus is an Actor R Us. I think he's another Saul in disguise.

Although there may be one issue, which has come up lately, it doesn't "break" the blockchain. As you have noticed your wallet works perfectly. I would say it is my intention to keep the project going, which works in their interest, but they don't seem to "not want to be in control", so they're trashing it for now.
There is virtually no difference between the old wallet and the new wallet. Just the skin. Its the same wallet.
To address the problem above I am working on upgrade that disconnects misbehaving wallets.

The redemption will not affect your coins. You have a choice to participate or not.
locking your wallet will not allow it to stake. You can either use their idea of unlocking it from time to time to stake, or simply make a new wallet and transfer you coins into it.
When you close your computer, your wallet will lose sync. You need to keep it running continuously if you don't want to lose sync. otherwise you can simply wait for it to get in sync before you try to transfer any funds.

Well then you are part of the "New Developers", you cannot trash a cryptocoin without causing damage to consumer confidence in all cryptocoins.

Saul, you are only hurting yourself when you make stupid statements like this.

They should be made available. Check with them to find out if there are any problems with the wallet.

I sent some paccoin to yobit also, and after about a week it finally arrived. I assumed this was due to their efforts at rebuilding the blockchain.
I sent some more this morning, and it hasn't arrived. I have submitted a ticket, so we'll see whats happens.

To be clear, I never accused the exchanges of having modified versions, I was concerned because someone said a patch had been sent to the exchanges.

This was concerning to me because it after evaluating it, I noticed it caused blocks to merge together creating multiple blocks with the same blockheight, and I was unsure if the transactions were properly being disseminated to the network.

I believe what is happening is the different transactions are merging instead of being copied normally.

That is why there are multiple block numbers with the same block hash.

The implications are that they are not being disseminated to the network. Only the wallets with the merged transaction have them, the other wallets don't. This is worse than a fork.

i'd like to add a correction.
I noticed that all three blocks on the explorer having the same number also had the same block hash number.
This was unexpected. I assumed they were different.
More inquiry should be made.

 for example

2645321   163c5b1271fc4213de509ea1a937d024e61765b727bc904e08de0f68a31a3244   2   20109.30825100   Fri, 26 Jan 2018 17:44:55 GMT
2645321   95fe5e11dff4c63ebf2ef51e2a1fc63e7323d59f00190383d4b708d1c2f0ec93   2   99999998.99990000   Fri, 26 Jan 2018 17:44:55 GMT
2645321   18417af4406dd79020763c90540a27452d0ebaa28cfdc2967316da73bdcfc704   1   3533731.17525600   Fri, 26 Jan 2018 17:44:55 GMT

these appear to be different transactions with the same block height

However when you hover over the block height 2645321 it shows the same block hash of:

7b4f07b84a9673bde2a80f2078c8e52d1d89c72eabd5b0ea3e1b868080451c80

This is what reorganize looks like in your debug.log


Essentially what is going on here is a new block comes in "7b4f07b84a9673bde2a8" The wallet disconnects the old block at "42edae4346499d1df322" and then sets the new block as the new best. This is at block height 2545321.

My guess is the blockexplorer is using the "patch" or if its not, its listing the blocks. What needs to happen is the consensus model should decide which block is correct.

Before under the old website there were duplicates, but not as bad. I assume the database is copying the information, and not deleting it later when the wallets reorganize. Normally this is rectified when the wallets walk back to the duplicate decide which one is correct, and then begin rebuilding the chain. Any transactions other than mined blocks are added to the blockchain so no transactions are lost. (except for mined blocks).

Breakcrypto said his patch does not leave duplicates in the blockchain, but it does prevent the rewind attacks as he calls it.

I want to beleive that his solution works, but I'm still in need of evidence. My experience with testing the patch was there was no reorganize.
This is crucial because in order to have only one correct blockchian wallets need to have consensus and therefore duplicate blocks are eliminated. Only one blockheight is allowed.

If his patch eliminated the orphans when mining then the only logical explanation is that his wallet is operating on a fork. an easy way to verify this is to look at the txid of the generated block and look on block explorer. If there are multiple blocks at that height, then its on a fork.

The reorganize is the correct response.

You can transfer your assets such as discord to your new Paccoin Cash efforts. You got a new logo with the P and the slash through it, It should be for paccoin cash in my opinion.

Why are there so many blocks at the same height on the paccoinexplorer?

looks like the wallets at yobit are finally coming in sync. I see my deposits showing "In Process".

First you need to find out why the file disappears. I assume it is an anti-virus program is quarantining your paccoin-qt file.
You may have more than one on your sytstem, so check each one.
Usually you have a way to set exceptions so that your software will not keep quarantining your program.
Next if you are having trouble downloading from the mega site, which is what paccoin community uses, you could try downloading the wallet from www.paccoinofficial.com
if you still have problems feel free to contact us.

Added! Thanks.
