Testnet is broken #79

Open cpsilent opened 5 years ago

cpsilent commented 5 years ago

It seems opening the wallet with the testnet parameter was unable to sync the blockchain. This comes from issue #77.

I used this guide to compile it: https://steemit.com/busy/@cpol/how-to-compile-your-very-own-devcoin-wallet-in-ubuntu-18-04

First, I downloaded the current source code from git using the command: git clone https://github.com/devcoin/core.git

The resulting compiled code version was this:

It compiled perfectly, however, as you can see in this first image, it began acquiring the blockchain at 8:21 but by 9:11 it kept stuck on 432 weeks wallet01

Then, I added my personal wallet and started it again at 9:17 but by 9:47 it remained stuck wallet02

I checked the previous compiled version (v0.8.5.1-g25a7d46-beta, 31st Oct 2019) without the testnet param and it synced properly. I waited around an hour and initiated the v0.8.6.0-g25a7d46-beta version without the testnet param and this time it synced properly. I tried also the v0.8.5.1-g25a7d46-beta version with the testnet param enabled with no blockchain syncing.

I saw that the testnet version made its own directory (testnet3) and it recreated all the files as you can see in the pictures, but it can't sync their blockchain at all. t seems there's something wrong with my testnet. I can try to compile it with docker instead but I think this has to do with something else but I'm not sure what could it be.

@cpsilent, please keep full details in each ticket, because context is lost in the middle of comments too often

@develCuy I already edited the first post, pasted the same post Idid in #77 and added a couple of things to make it clearer.

excellent @cpsilent! Eres un 10!

For the record, I did a few updates to the hardcoded testnet URLs, next step is to implement at least one seed node and test merged-mining or perhaps just solo mining since the testnet has no active miners.
