Blockchain downloading



  • I tried with space, I tried without space; I tried anything.



  • And I just transferred into that account 17'100 bursts.



  • @Cornel , this is too late for that wallet but the thing to do after you create a wallet is to go to the account manager in the wallet dashbord, then "add wallet". This will create an encrypted passphrase.txt file on your computer. Then when you sign into the wallet you click "load wallet" in the account manager tab rather than typing in the entire passphrase.

    Sorry for your trouble, but I do agree, the documentation for Burst is not as centralized/clear as it should/could be. If this community wants the general populace to embrace Burst, it needs to be easier to use than it is right now.



  • I deliberately didn't want to load the wallet because I didn't want to save my PassPhrase in any form on my PC to secure myself in case anyone would break and hack my PC.
    I used the passphrase manually and I signed in on purpose around 3 times to see if it works and it did. I even remembered it in my head, but I also wrote it down very carefully on a physical paper.
    And after I transferred money into it from my older wallet, I logged in just fine; but when from inside I tried to set up my account as we are told in tutorials -- the passphrase just simply didn't work anymore.
    Believe me, I didn't forget my password, I signed in around 4 times, I even wrote it down and remembered into my head; but after I transferred the money, it didn't work anymore.
    Could it be some kind of a bug?

    @Cornel No, no bug. Your passphrase is hashed to an account ID - if they don't match it won't work. There is something subtly different between the creation password and the password you're using to do the coin transfer. An extra space, an upper/lower case error, a missing character - something not quite the same. If you login to the wallet using the same passphrase you're using for the transfer, you'll see it's a different Burst address.



  • Now I can't even sign in into my vault wallet anymore. I know about missing space or element or anything like that. I knew it from the beginning. I am I have the correct passphrase.
    Why it allowed me to sign in like 3-4 times, but after adding money into the wallet; I can't sign in anymore. It's impossible that I put a not the same passphrase. I tried like 20-30 times already..


  • admin

    @Cornel Because you're using a different passphrase. I've had millions of Burst deposited into my account, and the same passphrase always opens the same account. If you're not getting to your account, it's because it's a different passphrase - or there is a problem with the wallet you're using. Do you get the same thing if you loginto the online wallet? http://wallet.burst-coin.us ?



  • I also tried to change some elements and "spaces", but it doesn't work whatsoever. It's impossible to be so different when I know for sure that I signed in just a couple of seconds ago.
    Besides, I wrote it down and I remembered into my head.

  • It opened the pool. What should I get from this?

    @Cornel It's one of those nights - third time lucky: http://wallet.burst-team.us



  • It's the same.
    It's very frustrating... I know for sure that I didn't confuse my password, something is clearly not working properly with whole this Burst thing.
    Well, good at least that I didn't lose bigger investment as I wanted to do later on; good that this happened just when I invested initial $10.
    Anyway, I wish you all goodluck with this Burstcoin; but I really have doubts about its success...

    @Cornel This is not a Burst problem, there are thousands of users who get into their wallet just fine every day. This is you screwing up your passphrase. The correct passphrase will always hash to the same account - you're using two subtly different passphrases.



  • Well, I have seen in the very beginning when I just heard about Burst on these chats that someone entered his passphrase and got completely into a different wallet; but at that moment I also thought that is a mistake from that particular person.
    Now, I just want to forget about this nightmare. I agreed in the beginning even when I saw that Burst is complicated, but now, when they don't even sign in all the time into the correct wallet -- sorry, I have to give up on Burst.

    @Cornel If you manage your pass phrase properly, there is no problem. I've received and transferred millions of Burst. The only time there are problems are: 1) You're using the wrong passphrase - it has a space, a newline, some other white space (99.9% of the time) or 2) You're using a bad wallet node (0.1% of the time). The problems you're having are under your control.

    If you log into your account with what you think is your passphrase, you'll see it's a different BURST-xxxx... address than where you sent the burst - because they are two different accounts, because they are two different pass phrases.



  • What do you mean a bad wallet node?


  • admin

    @Cornel One that is forked, or stuck - no longer reflects the current state of the blockchain


  • admin

    @Cornel is your blockchain still downloading?
    If your local wallet is not synced it shows a balance of zero.

    I've heard from the Brazilian community of that story that someone accessed someone else's account by typing in his own passphrase.

    Both accounts from Brazilians and both created in the same week. What a coincidence...

    Someone don't understood what he is doing (and made multiple accounts by accident) or spreading fear, anxiety and doubt on purpose.



  • @cornel, @haitch and @dawallet bring up two very salient points.

    1. If you are looking at the wallet and your Burst ID is not the same as the original ID then you, indeed, made a new account with a new (different) passphrase. However, if they are the same IDs but there is no Burst balance,

    2. It is possible you are on the local wallet and the blockchain is not updated to the time when you funded your account.

    If this is the case then sign into your account with the "online" wallet to see the wallet balance, hopefully it is there.

    Hope this helps.
