Feedback Public Testnet Evaluation

@davecgh thanks in advance my friend!

I have some problem to pos and pow togheter.

This is my procedure (win7):

first window : dcrd --testnet -u xxx -P xxx --miningaddr=xxx --notls
second window : dcrwallet -u xxx -P xxx--dcrdusername=xxx --dcrdpassword=xxx --noclienttls --noservertls

then i open ccminer,all is good the miner work fine and , if i open a new command window i can send money an get balance.

my problem start here.

If i enter this command or any command starting with dcrwallet :

dcrwallet -u xxx -P xxx --enablestakemining --balancetomaintain=20 --ticketmaxprice=50

i got the error :

Spoiler: error

02:34:20 2016-01-30 [INF] WLLT: Opened wallet
02:34:20 2016-01-30 [WRN] DCRW: RPCS: Can't listen on 127.0.0.1:19110: listen tc

cket (protocollo/indirizzo di rete/porta).

So to avoid this i have to close the window i have opened with this command:

dcrwallet -u xxx -P xxx--dcrdusername=xxx --dcrdpassword=xxx --noclienttls --noservertls

(in the mean time ccminer still working)

Ok now i have closed the window and i try to do this command again:

dcrwallet -u xxx -P xxx --enablestakemining --balancetomaintain=20 --ticketmaxprice=50

the first error the consolle give me is a file missed called dcrd.cert in appdata>local>dcrwallet

so i made the file with a txt and rename the ext in .cert.

Now i try to do the procedure again i write in consolle:

dcrwallet -u xxx -P xxx --enablestakemining --balancetomaintain=20 --ticketmaxprice=50

Spoiler: error

Can you help me?

I'm going to bed now is latenight!

 

Is price in whole decred or is it like bitcorn, having satoshi ?

 

I think im running P o S but i only have 10 . so im @ 1 and 1 for settings.

 

I paid someone 31.4159 DCR yesterday.

 

My current balance is reported as 3.45595482. Also, staking seems to work, gettickets reports 8 hashes currently and I know I've seen some changes.

 

How can i check if my staking is working?

 

run dcrctl (standard login, --wallet) with the command

Code:

gettickets true

to get a list of(all, including immature) staking tickets you've presently got in the pool. Barring that, if your total has gone up without you mining or receiving other transactions, then you've gotten some stake rewards.(My previous total was around 1.5 credits and 4 tickets a couple of hours ago)

I have a tutorial I'm going to try to write tomorrow about running your chainhost on one computer and logging in with a remote wallet. I'll include setting up staking in the wallet setup. I currently have 3 console windows open on my Pi(chainhost, wallet, dcrctl console), and I can open a wallet on my Windows computer that logs into the chainhost on the Pi and relay commands through it if I want to.

 

ok i got:
gettickets true
{
"hashes": []
}

 

I recently put a pi on my network and would be interested in your config once ironed out. Tia

 

The good news is you used the right command. The bad news is you don't have any tickets yet. Did you start the wallet in staking mode? If so, how recently? It can take a couple of hours to get some tickets.

It's super easy once you get things figured out. I just need to get the scripts put together and polished.

 

ok , i just got it working last hour or so. but i was wondering about the tick price... is thier a way to check the market ( other PoS valus on the net work) how can we know how to set a price?

sudo ./dcrwallet -u XXX -P XXX --enablestakemining --balancetomaintain=1.0 --ticketmaxprice=1

 

Thanks. Im at dcrctl term
> getbestblockhash | dcrctl getblock - 1 | grep sbits
it just sits there no error, but no > and no info
if i run comand @ $ ./dcrctl getbestblockhash | dcrctl getblock - 1 | grep sbits
command not found.. and im in tree

 

OK ill start over tomorrow on config files. thank you
