Feathercoin 0.8.5
-
I learnt more about the code in the last 5 mins than the last month. A+++++++
P.S. I am setting up a VirtualBox to compile and test 0.8.5, as I have no spare hardware. Could be useful to separate 0.8.5 wallet tests. I’ll post a guide, if it works.

Feathercoin 0.8.5 now runs with CAlert and ACP from Sunny. The latest commit was to get our figures in line for the transactions-based verification progress by sipa which is linked in below. It seems that not having the correct figures here breaks Sunny’s ACP.

I have tested 0.8.5 on a 0.6.4.4 datadir and from fresh both appear to work.
Can others please verify that the latest 0.8.5 now works?
The next obvious bug to test is the crash on exit. I’ll catch this and get some data.

Let me know where i can pull the latest source and i give it a shot in the next hours.

You have now been added and you can get the source from here.

I made a check list / help guide to setting up and compiling the Feathercoin test version in a Virtualbox. To test with a separate wallet.

[/quote]Yo. Have compiled 0.8.5. Client is currently downloading the block chain. Looks good so far. Will test with p2pool afterwards.

Hi,
I’ve downloaded the sources and compiled without problems.
OS: Opensuse 12.3 Kernel 3.7.10-1.16
I performed my tests on the production blockchain.Tests:
Started ft-client from scratch
- Sync started
- after block 43265 suddenly the sync stopped and all blocks seen where seen as ORPHANED
- stopped wallet and started again -> sync worked well and completed.
Started new ft-client on .0.6.4.4 wallet
- sync started and hung at block 34400 and all blocks seen where Seen as ORPHANED
- tried stop/restart of client without success.
- deleted local blockchain and started client again -> sync hung around block 30000 (didn’t check exact block number)
- here I left the client run for ~ 2 hours without a any progress
I also noticed, that there where blocks with messages:
- [i]LoadBlockIndexDB(): synchronized checkpoint not read[/i]
- [i]ResetSyncCheckpoint: sync-checkpoint reset to a765e31ffd4059bada1e25190f6e98c99d9714d334efa41a195a7e7e04bfe2[/i]
- [i]block with too little proof-of-work[/i]
Also seen: [i]received version 70002[/i]
Currently I try to sync from scratch again, but it doesn’t look good sync seems to hang after processing 42839 blocks… :(
[[b]update[/b]] whenever the sync hangs, I stop and restart the fc-client. the sync contunes for some time
I can provide my logs, if that helps

Shouldn’t we have one thread dedicated to test results, so we have all results and problems in one place?
Found some feedback on 0.8.5 at three different places in the Forum

[/quote]Agreed. Let’s use Wrapper’s thread for testing and discuss development here.

Please lock this thread to help reduce the co[sup]2[/sup] footprint!
Kidding, but I did get a bit confused by the two threads. ;)
