Sorry, I had trouble with the re-syncing of two of those sancs following the recent upgrade. I had to delete the whole biblepay-evolution folder suggesting that there was some issue with the compilation which allowed me to start the wallet but somehow failed to sync after days... I have now just used the pre-compiled binaries and it is working fine as all of my testnet servers are at the top of the chain and can confirm your hash.

Since one of those wallets that would not sync was my controlling wallet, I could not perform an update_service to the POSE_BANNED sancs which I have now done and as far as I can see all 7 sancs on testnet are ENABLED.

}

Finally, the Gridcoin RAC has been accumulating similarly to Biblepay RAC since the start of testnet PODCv2. I just noticed the higher coinage requirement and lower points on the leaderboard with the recent spork to add a higher requirement to gridcoin team members.


Ok, good overall I suppose.  Thats great that GRC's points are showing in the leaderboard; just please let us know if it follows through with a payment too.  I assume it will.

On this sanctuary compile debacle, I have a hypothesis on that, because I have a similar problem compiling on my low end boxes.  I have a couple low-end for testnet and they are so low end they sometimes cant even finish the compile.  I can say this with certainty:  If cc1plus gets killed in the middle of a compile due to lack of ram, many times, the binary will already have the higher protocol version and the lower code (which is absolutely bad when you run it).  The way I personally had to solve this is make a compile script with 'cpulimit -l 45' (or something to that effect, if you want it I can post it) and it causes the compile to finish without getting killed.  Try that next time with a make clean first.  After that Ive had much better luck running it and leaving and then it starts back up successfully.

EDIT:  Just to clarify though, when I post a release the code is the latest; so it sounds like it *was* a compile issue.  (MIP then builds the linux binaries after the release is posted here).

EDIT2:  Starting with the last version, you can use -erasechain=1 again (we now delete all the files including instantsend.dat).  But, you shouldnt have to, unless we have a fork, and thats what we are trying to certify we dont have any more.  For example after this last release I did not erase my chain I just restarted the client.

Ideally, I'd like to just do an exec associate user verification code and that's all I need to do to join podc 2.0.


i prefer everything else is done for me (create cpk, joining wcg, etc) and it sends out the daily podc update as long I have the wallet running.

biblepay.conf is in Mac format according to Notepad++. This is on my Windows 10 64-bit Home edition.


I can send you the file after I do exec createpurse.


the line ending is 0d0d0a instead of 0d0a . I think I mentioned this in the github. I didn't mention it because it didn't seem relevant, but if wallet is not reading biblepay.conf that creates all sorts of Issues I noticed in the past.




I already posted my reply about this. 

Lets not spend more time on this or make assumptions.

Do the following:

Start a new wallet
Type 'exec createpurse'
Type 'exec boinc1' and paste the output.


Your current wallet is already successful.  Try with a new one - and do not manually edit the biblepay.conf file this time.

Do not paste third party representations of the data for the test.

Just to clarify though Sun, you have been entering tickets in github with a lot of issues that have taken a siginficant amount of time, and some ended up turning into non issues.  MIP and I have taken a look at this and already explained that there is no "Mac" format and his external purse collateral works fine on his macs.

You should be more respectful of our time.  I only asked for a regimented test because we have spent a considerable amount of time on these things in total.

I will admit some posted issues have been duds. We can't be 100%  ;D  all the time -- only Jesus. If you feel some issues are not worth investigating, then it is your job to prioritize or ignore them. I hope you can appreciate just how many issues don't reach you because many of us address it before it gets to you.

Yes, you are right, sorry, I just read what I wrote and corrected it to say "some".

Sorry, I apologize for coming across with that impression to you.

Actually to clarify, all of your support contributions have been very welcome and helpful in detecting, diagnosing, and solving the bugs we had over the entire duration of BiblePay.

Thank you for what you have already contributed.

Hopefully we will be working together in this endeavor.

I am trying to sync testnet but I am stuck at block 17444. I see many peers so I don't know how to get it updated.
I will try to rescan and come back when ready

Actually if you are on 1.4.8.2, double check that, then delete 'instantsend.dat' and restart, and let us know?

Let me know if it still re-hangs.

Ok, your right, sorry, I did not realize we introduced a bug in the latest version that prevents syncing from zero.

Please stand by for a new leisure upgrade.

You can test the test cases in post #2.  Except, we don't need to test Cameroon-One or Kairos at this time (as Kairos is integrating now and expirimenting on their server).  We also don't need an extra sanc right now since we appear to have 7 going, but do monitor the situation if we get down to 3 again.

We primarily need to test PODC 2.0 and DWS.

I'll update when we are ready to test this branch against Prod; its not ready yet.
