Hi,
I have a annoying issue with my wallet on Windows, (0.8.7) I got too often database reading error, and I need to downloadall the blockchain over an over…
Do the 0.9.6 release fix this issue ? Any link or how to compile for windows available ?
Thanks in advance,

Honestly I don’t think, that it is a problem of the wallet code, as the 0.8.7.x versions of the wallet are out for a while now, and no such problem has been reported.
But you really using Wallet version 0.8.7?That version is outdated and will not work correctly.
The latest 0.8.x version is 0.8.7.3 which contains some important fixes.
You can download the compiled 0.8.7.3 wallet from here
To update
- export and backup your private keys to a safe location
- shutdown your old wallet
- copy the downloaded binary into the directory of your old wallet
- start the new wallet and let it sync
Please tell us, if the problem is solved with the update

Hi Wellenreiter,
Thanks a lot for your assistance.
Yes I use 0.8.7.3 on Windows Seven 64Bits.I did the “re-install” think like 3 time this week.
And here is the debug.log :

2016-11-01 09:21:29 Shutdown : doneAlso I read that when I shutdown the wallet it can take a while, on my system it’s close very quickly, like an hard shutdown, maybe this broke the batabase, when I quit the wallet ?
Anyway I would like to install the 0.9 version, any guide on how to ?
Best,
PS : the “ERROR: CAddrman::Write() : Rename-into-place failed” is a known issue in both feathercoin and litecoin wallet.

I’ve never had the Rename-into-place failure. I only use Linux, so I think it is a windows related bug.
I’m trying to get a 0.9.3.x Wallet for windows for you. Unfortunately I can’t compile for windows myself.
I’ll keep you updated
By the way, the 0.8.x versions of the wallet shut down quite fast, while the 0.9.x versions take a bit of time to shut down. the reason is that the 0.8.x versions simply exit the program, while the 0.9.x versions creaet some backup before the exit.

This is exactly the issue I think. Should solve this problem. :)
I can do the compilation, just need an “how to” guide. ;)
Thanks for your time.

Mhhh, I don’t have any experience with the windows compile.
May be you can handle it, but the only description I have is the one on Github.
So my recommendation only can be:
- go to https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin
- download the branch master-0.9 to your system
- follow the instructions under https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/blob/master-0.9/doc/build-msw.md
It looks like nobody did a native windows compile, but it’s cross compiled using mingw
Sorry, that I can’t be of more help
-
Hey thanks,
I’ll try this and report here. :)
I use Ming by the past should be smooth. :)
Thanks a lot for your time.

Hi @looarn
is this solved, so I can flag it s answered?
-
I personally feel this thread can be closed. My reasons…
-
The version in question is 0.8.7.3 - Windows, 64BIT. That version is no longer the production version and no longer works with 0.9.6.
-
0.9.6 Windows binaries and setup files have been uploaded to the official Feathercoin GitHub page.
https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/releases and are confirmed as working and virus free
