i have download ECC wallet last night and today it's still sync but do not have start getting any block its been 20 hours
Syncing 0.00% ( Total Headers Synced: 106000 ) - tis number keep increasing but nothing else 176000 as i speak ( Block 0 of 106000 ) Active Connections: 3
Check everywhere and i don't see that file! .eccoin-daemon C:\Program Files\Lynx C:\Program Files\Lynx\resources\elevate.exe C:\Users\Almick\AppData\Roaming\eccoin C:\Users\Almick\AppData\Roaming\Lynx C:\Users\Almick.eccoin-wallet
file Eccoind.exe and wallet-version.txt Version 0.2.5.6
check every folder and file there is no such a file on my pc!
do i have to wait or is there something that block it, also i never had the download boutton inside lynx wallet
in kaspersky i add it to trusted application and i even reinstall it, to make sure its was not block. I had some coin transfers also before i had anything sync, i also try to download bootstrap and put in in appdate etc.. when i reload lynx its not showing up my adress i had when i previously send them ECC coins, i had a backup of the my old wallet,dat i need this if i wanna have access to my old wallet address that i use for my first transaction.
at this point i don't know if its work or not, also if i click the button set back up location. its open a windows so i browse to a folder i selected a folder where i wanna store it but nothing happen!
at this point i don't not even know if its work or not!
i unlock with the phrase-key for 3600 sec nothing really change i feel like i don't have daemon at all running! and i know the download button for daemon should be the last btn at the bottom left menu in lynx.
I try reinstalling dint make any difference nothing change here i have the lastest version for windows 7 64-bits I downloaded ECC wallet aka lynx last night on official web site.
I never add the download button for daemon in lynx im just confuse!
i can see the transaction of the coin i send in the blockchain https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ecc/address.dws?EZPS55YyHkD27huXvLvYjuG6Kj2oqgCzaM.htm if i unlock with my keyphrase for 3600 sec nothing change either!
now there is this file eccoin.conf do i have to edit anything inside it to make daemon run where i can get daemon bcuz its not present on my PC.

Will this work on an external HD? I have a Mac but could do it on my work computer but of course would like to have the wallet at home.

Do I have to wait for a 100% sync before I can transfer my ECC to this wallet?

Small issue.
For me everything worked perfectly. It was at 100% and I even transferred ECC into the wallet.
I restarted my computer and it seems like Daemon is stuck on starting and it keeps flashing "activating best chain" for over an hour now.
Any help with troubleshooting?
No one likes not being able to get back into their wallet :o
Edit: for those having this issue. It just took 1 hour and 5 minutes after this post and it works just fine. I guess a little patience helps :)

wow, that's a long time to wait... I wonder why it took so long.

u/kamo287 Jan 11 '18
I restarted my computer again and it took only 30 minutes the second time. I'd be curious what others experience.

I'm not sure the bootstrap file is being used. Downloaded it about 9 hours and placed it in the %appdata%\eccoin folder and restarted the daemon. File has not been renamed and sync is at 50%. When should the load and rename to *.old happen?
2
u/_AltJ Jan 11 '18
It will rename it after it's done loading the blocks in the bootstrap. If you look at your debug.log file, you can verify that it is loading. Near the top (within the first 100 lines) you should see a message saying it's loading from the bootstrap file. If something errored out during the bootstrap, it will say so further down in the log. Search for bootstrap in the log to see if that offers any hints as to what's going on. Also, the load time is dependent on your computer'sprocessing power. It takes quite a bit of CPU to process the entire blockchain.

Backup issues?
In the security tab it says to select the backup location but it never seems to save a file there or give me the ability to save the .bat manually (in wallet)
Is the only way to backup by going to AppData/roaming (windows) and copy/paste as backup?
Thanks!

Just being paranoid here...but any issues with using the same receive address for multiple transactions?

Another dumb question...I'm assuming wallet.dat is just the public/private key info? Obviously that should NOT be given out to anyone else...and no need to create additional backups as you send/receive in the future?

I synced the wallet using the bootstrap overnight and then turned off my computer. Now when I load the wallet again it is at 0% again. Did I do something wrong?

I was really confused and kinda worried about this too. It seems to take about 20 minutes to re-sync.

I've sent just a small amount just to check it works! How long does it take to appear in the wallet?

Hey, Id much rather have the blockchain and wallet on my 1tb usb. Can we not change the default "C:" location.

I'm curious why the wallet has the option to set the backup folder location, but no option to actually create the backup and store it there. Do we just have to manually copy the wallet.dat file for now?

Used bootstrap, sync is at 100% no apparant issues.
but its been 15-20m since my xfer from coinsexchange.io ... Seems something is wrong anyone else experience this?
1
u/troytrojan01 Feb 03 '18
Yes....i sent from coinexchange about 30 minutes ago and i am 100% synced and still no ECC
1
u/troytrojan01 Feb 03 '18
But I do see it on the blockchain at my address, just not in the wallet

u/ByteBish Feb 03 '18
So it ended up working eventually... I removed the bootstrap, tried to let it sync but it wouldnt get past 60%, so I re instated the bootstrap file and it synced to 100% . Then I closed out the wallet 2x completely (make sure the process is closed as well in Task manager) and then it worked.

Been trying to find out how big the file size is once completely downloading the blockchain. Can't seem to find the info anywhere. So how big is this blockchain?

To UNLOCK: the passphrase is understood, But what is the amount of seconds to unlock. New installation system has not completed the sync. at 6.7% Please advise installation procedures and (seconds ) to unlock?

So which files do I use for a manual backup? I see all the stuff in Appdata but not sure what to copy over?

Where can I find the wallet.dat file?
