I still don’t see it on github as a new release. I see 2 commits only. it means if you want to have the fix right now you should download the sources and compile it yourself

lkelemen · April 25, 2019, 9:48am

I tried to compile it on win10 and failed. opened an issue about it on github

my coins are in CLI wallet. should I wait a year to be able to use them?
edit: there is a v2.1.1.2 release tag being pushed right now on github, hopefully problem solved. I don’t see binaries yet

VaanClancy · April 25, 2019, 12:23pm

I see only 2.1.1.1on GitHub.

Got a link? …

lkelemen · April 25, 2019, 12:51pm

on top there is “show 2 newer tags”. when clicked you’ll see v2.1.1.2 with 2 downloadable files but those are sources only

3babf70bcfdf24cd84b7 · April 25, 2019, 8:02pm

I started one earlier…

Is this an official release now?

Edit, ok I see it is…

lkelemen · April 25, 2019, 8:20pm

when you start it, it will print the old version number 2.1.1.1 and version name aug. 2018. uf you check tge latest source you’ll see the version number and name was not changed. see here in master branch

github.com

@lkelemen try using the older 1.69.0-2 version of boost as 1.7.0 seems to be conflicting with a lot of these monero clones right now…

P.S. they seem to have also added the binaries to the github so you might not need to do this if you keep struggling, but give it another try…

lkelemen · April 25, 2019, 9:28pm

I tried to install the earlier version of boost but couldn’t figure out how to set it so that cmake finds it. anyway now there are new binaries so I don’t put anymore effort to compilation. it should work out of the box as it is described in readme.md but it doesn’t

win64 binaries downloaded (note it’s named Electroneum ‘August 2018’ (v2.1.1.1-release but that does not really matter). Resyncing the blockchain is going to take a while

lkelemen · April 25, 2019, 9:40pm

I also downloaded the 2.1.1.2 binaries and synced. seems to work fine

RSKNOR · April 25, 2019, 9:43pm

Did you resync it from block 0 or pop off enough blocks down to V6 fork height (what blockheight was that again?) I started from scratch

lkelemen · April 25, 2019, 9:46pm

I just started it as usual without extra parsmeters and at some point it made a long reorg of blocks. Should I give some extra parameters and retry?

RSKNOR · April 25, 2019, 9:46pm

Chris told us to resync the blockchain from the v6 fork or from the beginning

lkelemen · April 25, 2019, 9:50pm

Yes I read that but there is no instruction how to do that so I just started the deamon as usual

RSKNOR · April 25, 2019, 9:51pm

that would imply deleting the database (start from scratch) or delete a few thousand blocks from your current database a little below the V6 height (what ever that was)

electroneum-blockchain-import --pop-blocks 300000

Not sure how many blocks to delete (pop) to get somewhat below the V6 fork height, but deleting the past 250000 blocks off the database seems to be plenty

lkelemen · April 25, 2019, 9:55pm

well syncing from height 0 would take at least 2 days for my PC. I don’t know the height of v6 and I don’t know how to delete blocks so I will do it from scratch tomorrow

3babf70bcfdf24cd84b7 · April 25, 2019, 10:00pm

300000 was about the middle of last year that should be enough. Im also gunna let it do its own thing for a few days.
