[14-7-24 下午11:36:16] linhan.ee: we have to disable the withdrawal now. All the new withdrawals did not get confirmed. Please help us to get a solution. thanks
[14-7-25 上午12:30:53] linhan.ee: we have upgraded to new version 2.3 we still have the insufficient funds error from wallet_transfer
[14-7-25 上午12:43:13] linhan.ee: another bug in the client. when we can a wallet_transfer today, the wallet crashed with an error: terminate called without an active exception
[14-7-25 上午10:40:31] linhan.ee: Got a segmentation fault just now: 4105 Segmentation fault      ./bitshares_client
[10:42:44] Denny Wang: I'm creating an issue for them, any suggestions to the exchange?

[04:08:06] bter: The 3third bug: after 2 days running, when we send out transactions, we got this:   [detail] => 0 exception: unspecified
error during aes 256 cbc decrypt final
    {"s":"error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:bad decrypt"}
    th_a  aes.cpp:263 aes_decrypt
[12:10:23] Vikram Rajkumar: Hi, the "wallet_open" crash and the "exit" crash should be fixed in the next update that we will release soon.
[12:10:52] Vikram Rajkumar: I will look into the 3rd crash. Thank you for the error messages and gdb messages
[12:12:40] bter: Vikram, thank for your great support. The most anoying thing is that we have to restart the client like everything two days to fix a wallet_transfer problem
[12:13:14] bter: after days running, all the sending out transactions stuck with a pending status
[12:13:27] bter: and later become "EXPIRED"
[12:13:50] bter: then, we have to restart the client, rescan the blockchain, and re-send all the expired transactions
[12:14:07] bter: that's why I was asking how to restart the client and load the wallet automatically
[12:19:25] Vikram Rajkumar: Thank you for the detailed description. So it is always after *exactly* 2 days that this problem happens?
[12:20:21] bter: the exactly but almost, I have done it 3 times in a week
[12:21:20] bter: people will complain that they didn't receive their withdrawals. I will check the BTSX client and I can see many expired or pending transactions
[12:22:17] bter: After I restart the client, rescan the blockchain, the pending transactions usually go through but I have to resend the expired transactions manually
[12:27:13] Vikram Rajkumar: Thank you. The fact that this happens only after about 2 days is a good clue, because transactions in our network are only valid for 48 hours after the time they are created. So there may be a bug somewhere with the expiration checking. I will look into it
[12:29:38] bter: Actually, if I don't restart the client, all new send-out transactions don't go though successfully but become "pending"
[12:29:57] bter: until later they turn into "expired"
[12:31:20] bter: After I restart the client and rescan the blockchain, all the accumulated "pending" send-out transactions go though successfully and new send-out transactions get confirmed almost instantly
[12:32:04] bter: but after several days (like 2), pending transaction issue happens again

[vikramrajkumar]

This is part of the known stuck pending issue. Transactions that are stuck pending and don't get confirmed expire after the default 2 hour expiration time currently used by the wallet.
