[Solved] Wallet sync ???
-
@mpunisher Iam not a p2pool expert, @wellenreiter should take a look. But Iam sure that the payout is delayed, just wait it out, payout will come when the pool finds a block :)

@mpunisher Yeah, Just give it time. With Ether going down other coins like Feathercoin are moving up. This impacts pools because of increased hash rate as well as increased difficulty.
-
@AmDD yeah its updated now I got 9 FTC in one time
I used to mine ether and its immediately updated
thanks -
@mpunisher Great.
Ether mining is different from my understanding. P2Pool will count your shares but wont pay out until a block is found and at that point you get a percentage of the block that reflects how much hash power you have submitted to the pool. More hash = more of the block is yours.
EDIT: or do you mean the ether wallet immediately updated? I never installed the ether wallet, just converted directly to Bitcoin and then to Feathercoin.
-
@AmDD In ether mining the balance updated immediately after you start mining
-
Any mining done now will be at the end of the blockchain and will not be visible to you untill you have completed the database syncronisation.
I will mark this as solved, post in support if you still have troubles after the sync.

Full initial wallet syncs have always been extremely slow for me, whether FTC or other coins that have a 3+ year blockchain. It’s one of my pet peeves about any blockchain wallet… that and the huge GB size of the file(s)…
FTC 0.8.x on Mac, 0.9.x on Windows/Linux have all taken 2+ days to fully sync. This is on a 75Mbit bidirectional FiOS line… I’ve noticed the longer the wallet’s open, the slower it goes, when there’s over 30-40 connections it bogs down (again, windows/mac/linux, doesn’t matter). Quit and restart, speed goes right back up. For a while. :expressionless:

Whilst syncs have been slower than optimum in the past, this was usually solved by adding nodes.
I’d be interested to know how quickly the new wallet synchronises. I believe there is work in 9.3.X to speed up syncs.
I just set up a home p2pool and it synced from scratch very fast. I did do an addnode from the LAN BUT if you are having a lot of speed problems, it is usually not enough nodes and these can be added.
Also, I have done a number of test to see the effect of number of connections, it is limited to small number on feathercoind start up, but you can increase it. I tried over 100 connections made no bog down, or increase in speed.

Apologies if my “rant” sounded brusque; was tired and a bit cranky. Kids out of school not in camp yet, high school teacher-wife dealing with school/summer b.s., and it’s 90°+ outside… :dizzy_face:
When the official “new” wallet(s) are available I’ll test on all three that I run — win10, mac10.11, & centos7 if it compiles (and post to the tech dev thread, not here).
Going to run them out-of-the-box; I won’t add any special nodes, since new FTC users won’t do that (or even know how). If adoption of crypto ever has a hope to become widespread, use of the wallets have to become near painless as possible. Methinks we’re a long way from that point…
Will all the OS’ get the same version this time? (i.e. Mac still downloading 0.8.x)
-
@Bluebox FTC is still trying to integrate developments, so there will be changes. It has also retained builds and builds for older systems where possible.
The development has 2 parts, the core is the Feathercoind server daemon and the wallet.
There is a backward compatible 0.8.7.3 version of the wallet and daemon, based on Litecoin core. The new 0.9.3.1 which is the “Release version” is based on Bitcoin core.
The developer already has moved to 0.11 (which has been moded to be backwardly compatible) …
There ahas been a lot of efforts to make sure builds available, and upgrade some facilities when there is time or volunteers. Like simplify downloads.

Again - Members have included a lot of work to keep default nodes updated in the software and pay for servers to host those nodes. That was done to preempt problems and reduce support issues and try to make sure Feathercoin does “works out of the box”.
Synchronizing the database from scratch is going to take a finite time and is open to other influences.
Most “old members” have upgraded, and we have not had many other syncing issues posts with 0.9.3.1.
