strange...my wallet is running just fine under win7 x64. not a single crash so far.

The problems seem isolated to only some Windows machines. I think the issue may have something to do with the Visual C++ Redistributable Package or some other package which is installing incompatible system dll's which Cryptonite is trying to use. Do any of you guys have Visual Studio installed?

is http://xcn.1gh.com/ down?

I am unable to sync the blockchain. It stuck at block 246270 for 3 hours already. The message that wallet displays is: Downloading headers - 7 days behind.

I tried to re-sync (with option --resync) 2 times (deleted peers.dat). No success yet.

It seems that the only possible solution now is to delete the entire blocks directory "after taking a backup of the wallet of course", Give it a try.

I am reading http://cryptonite.info/wiki/index.php?title=Dynamic_max_block_size

However, it is not clear that if a big miner can create a block with huge size (e.g 200 MB), making really hard for other miners to download (bandwidth and network latency) and verify transactions (CPU usage).

Is it the case that is addressed already?

Can someone point me to where the benefits of the mini-blockchain scheme are clearly stated in contrast to proposed blockchain pruning?

Also, I'm trying to run the webrpc client and I'm getting the error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() invar/www/html/xcn/lib/rpcclient.lib.php on line 130 . I've started cryptonited with -server and ensure that the username and password are the same as what was entered in the client install. Any idea of where I'm going wrong?

The first half of this video I made explains it fairly well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb0sAmQD0Dk

My guess would be that you don't have curl installed.

Yeah it might solve the problem.

We can't fix it until we discover what is causing it. The bugs only seem to affect a small percentage of Windows machines so it's hard to diagnose. Cryptonite-Qt works absolutely fine on all my Windows machines so I have no clue what the issue is. And our main developer doesn't even use Windows.
