Why is the Local Wallet so finicky?

So this (1.2.7) looks like an older version of the AIO wallet I'm using. I guess my question is do you run the wallet from a command line environment or do you run the GUI version where the black screen comes up and asks you to select "online" or "local" and when you select local the message saying wait sits on the front screen forever.

@rds its the client itself :P its only started by run.bat and you use webrowser

OK, so I removed every trace of the Wallet 3.8 and downloaded a new version of 3.8.1.

I tried to start the local wallet and it started. Downloading the blockchain from scratch. That will take forever.

I stopped the wallet and replaced the DB files with the 2 DB files I downloaded from team.us. The local wallet does not start up after 10 minutes.

I stopped the wallet and replaced the DB files with 2 DB files I copied from another machine that runs the local wallet, no problem. The local wallet does not start up after 10 minutes.

Any help here?

The local wallet used to work on this machine until I stopped it and restarted the computer the other day.

The offending machine is windows 10 with 16GB of memory. Java 121 is installed. Wallet 3.8.1

The computer that runs the wallet no problem is windows 7 with 12 GB of memory and has Java 111. Wallet 3.7.

I need the Win 10 to run because it has USB 3.0 the Win 7 is only USB 2.0.

I need the local wallet to run for solo mining.

Thanks,

@rds Just to clarify, the burst wallet can be found here:
https://github.com/burst-team/burstcoin/releases

The AIO Windows Client combines the above wallet and different other burst related software like plotter and miner to a kind of suite, to make it more easy to get started.

Some prefer using the AIO client, some prefer running the the single software without.

There is not such a thing like a 'local wallet', just a wallet running local (localhost/your machine). While the 'online wallet' is the same software running on another machine.

I just thought this things should be clarified ...

All software included in AIO client can also be found here:

@luxe,

Thanks,

What I meant on the GUI there is a bar that offers two options, "online" and "local".

So as I said before, I don't use the GUI options for plotting and mining so I'm going to download the software from the link you provided. Are there instructions on how to start it up?

@rds In general it should run 'out-of-the-box' ... there is a run.bat included. You may download db or use this guide to speed up sync with network:

OK, I see, the 1.2.7 referred to above is the actual wallet software version. The 3.8.1 is the packaged AIO software.

I just looked at my Win 7 machine, the AIO is 3.7 with NRS version 1.27.

The Win 10 machine, the AIO is 3.8.1 but the NRS version 1.26.

Not sure why the 1.2.6, I just downloaded that today.

So I'm going to get the 1.2.7 and try that.

So I downloaded the 1.2.7 and ran the run.bat file. A command window opened and a bunch of lines appeared. One was that the genesis block was not present. So I assumed it knew to start downloading the database.

So then I clicked on the localhost:8125 shortcut in the 1.2.7 folder and a webpage opened up with what looked like I see when using the AIO wallet except there was no feature to load a passphrase from the encrypted text file that stores your password.

Then I loaded the DB files from my win 7 computer and restarted. There was a line saying genesis block detected, after a few minutes it appeared as if the blockchain was up to date.

So everything seems to work.

Questions:

Is there a way to autoload your passphrase on the browser page?

Do I have to have the the browser page open to solo mine (I guess no).

How do I send a reward assignment change using this setup? The AIO wallet had fields you fill in on the browser page. Is there a config file that has to be updated?

Thanks,

@rds use localhost:port/rewardassignment.html

The passphrase loading is a feature of AIO. Here you can do at most by checking that remember me

@rds you do not need to have browser page open while mining.
for reward assignment you can use the url @LithStud mentioned, there is also a more simplified one:
http://localhost:8125/rewardassignmentshort.html
