Guys while I'm looking forward to further developments and activity with BTX I'm not having a very good experience with v2120 wallet. It's constantly hung and way behind in syncing.

Is anyone else having problems with their wallet continually hanging and using excessive resources on Windows? I'm on 8.1 Pro on an Intel Core i5 2.50Ghz with 8gb RAM so although not the latest spec level hardly underpowered either. Previously (a few months ago) it was working fine without any of these issues.

This is what my task manager constantly looks like; the BTX wallet consuming the lion's share of my laptop's CPU and memory.



I've de-installed and reinstalled twice. Deleted everything in the %APPDATA%\btx\ directory (apart from my wallet.dat and the .conf files) at least three times too. I've tried using the last bootstrap that was provided and it makes no difference, it's still as slow as slow and never catches up. It takes days for the progress bar to show 1 week has been caught up (that's on the rare occasion when the interface isn't completely hung).

Although I'm getting up to 20 connections on the network and the wallet's even supposedly staking (although every stake payment is unconfirmed) it's basically unusable at this point.

I'm interested to hear whether others have a working wallet on Windows.

Thanks for your reply CryptoVote.

Yes I guess they're conflicted. The wallet seems to be confused as it's still many weeks behind yet it's staking and I'm getting constant notifications of incoming stakes but they all remain with ? status. If that's what conflicted is then, yes.

Thanks for the suggestion CryptoVote. Have made that change and rebooted. That's no doubt fixed the staking conflict in the unconfirmed rewards. The wallet's still remaining in a hung state (okay for maybe first 5 minutes then permanently "not responding"). Getting some extraordinarily high CPU usage figures too:





(The above is a screen grab of a peak. Average is probably somewhere around 32%)

CryptoVote I'm on the last released wallet V2.1.2.0

That's just great that you're testing a new version; sounds like some needed changes.

I've removed my wallet.dat from the %APPDATA%\btx\ directory and restarted the wallet so it creates a new one. It's now syncing much faster than it was with my wallet loaded and not going unresponsive. I'll let it catch up then reintroduce my wallet.dat. Thanks for the tip; I've been playing with various Qt based wallets for a while now; I should have thought of that and realised what's needed.

Add this to your conf file until u have full syncd
connect=85.214.95.177:5520

The reason is that there are atm some chain problems and we should take the most important node as the main node ...
the connect is to my server and im full syncd with the ccex node
on my home server it works very well but atm is no chain movement because on my 8 MNs i have 8 diferent blocks, it goes from -3000 to +3000 blocks from the ccex one, but all full syncd.

Have attempted full syncs from scratch on both Windows v2.1.2 and v2.1.5 and both stopped at 265476. Any good ideas how to get past that block?

I can post a copy of my blockchain files. I am at block 326148 now, I have used this files to sync other wallets in other pcs and this works fine. 

You can backup all your actual chain and wallet and try this files.


What Do You think. Do You want this files?

For now I am using a windows wallet, it works for v2.1.2 and v2.1.5 versions.

Yes that would be great. It's been laborious not being synced as the problem just goes on and on. I said in my posting above that I've been working on this for weeks but the reality is it's been months. I haven't been synced since early December.

Please let us know as soon as you've put the bootstrap up somewhere for download.

U should take the official uploads

http://85.214.95.177/btx-uploads/bootstrap/

There u can find syncd data-folders for windoes and for linux
Only keep your wallet.dat , peers.dat and your conf file, delete all other and place the content of the zip in it
We curently figure out where are the sync Problems and possible we found an tryd intrusion in the chain.
Atm we can spread more infos because we have to look how we can fix it, fix the chain .... and its an very long list
but during this time use our data files, they are full syncd with ccex to keep u in trading busines
