Up and running, thanks to @ClokworkGremlin for pointing me in the right direction! Testnet address: TsR47pkgXHMLpLLy8o7ww1FkJtDpD1qKB49 Can I get some test funds?
I've mentioned before that this would probably be a good idea for most setups and technically you can, but there is a big catch. The wallet RPC server accepts chain-specific RPC calls and passes them through to dcrd RPC server so that you can issue all commands when talking to the wallet RPC without having to switch. By specifying --wallet, all commands, even chain-specific commands, are directed to the wallet RPC port. Without the flag, it could easily get more confusing because you can have different username/passwords/TLS settings for the chain and RPC server. So, if you specify the username and password for wallet, for example, and they're different for chain RPC server, you'd end up in a situation where issuing chain commands would fail.
So I did this and it appeared to empty my wallet? 3 X .001 transactions with a 40 balance? Or am I just being stupid? c:\1.TEMPfileCopy\cgminer-decred-w32_27012016>dcrctl /notls --testnet -u ***** -P ***** --wallet getbalance 40.00002 c:\1.TEMPfileCopy\cgminer-decred-w32_27012016>dcrctl /notls --testnet -u ***** -P ***** --wallet sendtoaddress TsXuEFgAWCB3yCeW5oRL9eX6NzjsD1rWXdg .001 0f583816bcff47aa404b2c00b5f9425cfead9d15fe4880cce1e13f11767212ee c:\1.TEMPfileCopy\cgminer-decred-w32_27012016>dcrctl /notls --testnet -u ***** -P ***** --wallet sendtoaddress TsXuEFgAWCB3yCeW5oRL9eX6NzjsD1rWXdg .001 b2861d7d0e2b38fd5f327c3900751aadfbf42ec5433266e52e27fc352bd3c5b9 c:\1.TEMPfileCopy\cgminer-decred-w32_27012016>dcrctl /notls --testnet -u ***** -P ***** --wallet sendtoaddress TsXuEFgAWCB3yCeW5oRL9eX6NzjsD1rWXdg .001 b19bb0c0111c8319ce16eb0c91cecf6c54fcff7a7517fc13aee4e85b5fd24758 c:\1.TEMPfileCopy\cgminer-decred-w32_27012016>dcrctl /notls --testnet -u ***** -P ***** --wallet getbalance 0
Anyone able to chip some testnet coins over ? TsUwJZL9UCuVe9Gx9NFc732Nr4ndjJKu4zr thx ! btw: not sure if thats good or not: 07:56:11 2016-01-28 [INF] CHAN: FORK: Block 00000000005abd838f1da1fbe5070269a9246c42e0cd21c932c0076930f4c66c (height 1617) forks the chain at height 1616/block 00000000007a9ab08526c7599cf41f53ca9e4ded11dc111fa2c3160e06ad6547, but does not cause a reorganize :-S
I think this is where testnet funds are requested https://forum.decred.org/threads/testnet-faucet.340/
on a laptop with geforce 610m i'm getting 27 megahash more or less, with cgminer i'm receiving "share above target" messages and not accepting shares. maybe because my hashrate is too low? thx
Are testnet addresses different than the addresses for final release (ones provided by airdrop)? I can't find an address that will work with dcrd /miningaddy parameter.
So, did you find your 40 coins in your wallet? I also tried to send some coins, and it seems there is some bug. The flow was: 1. Code: dcrctl --testnet -u user -P pass --wallet getbalance --notls Output: 1 2. Code: dcrctl --testnet -u user -P pass --wallet sendtoaddress XXX 0.5 --notls Output: *transaction id* 3. Code: dcrctl --testnet -u user -P pass --wallet getbalance --notls Output: 0 And when I checked balance 5 mins later it was already 0.99999 (so it's ok, because I moved 0.5 DCR from one my address to another with a fee 0.00001). But output in step 3 is wrong, balance wasn't 0, it was 0,49999 ( 1 - 0,5 - 0,00001).
I am not sure what happen yet. I went to bed and now my balance is 82+ from mining? 40 coins just disappeared as far as I know. ***UPDATE*** Actually it looks like it might have been sorted. Note the 82.99700001. But as I am new to mining I am not sure how to verify this. Is there a way to see what came in from mining and what was a transaction? c:\1.TEMPfileCopy\cgminer-decred-w32_27012016>dcrctl /notls --testnet -u ***** -P ***** --wallet getbalance 82.99700001
Can you try again check balance, move few coins from one address to another, check balance again immediately, and check balance 5 min later. Probably we should report it to devs.
