Parity Won't Sync anymore! #10563

I keep trying to sync but it works for a minute or two then just freezes. I have peers connected but nothing happens. In the DOS window I am getting this message "This Method is deprecated and will be removed in the future". I have tried both the latest stable and beta versions and the same result. What is going on? Help me please

Can you please share the logs you are seeing in your console?

The message you are referring to likely refers to us deprecating account management within parity-ethereum, and gets emitted when someone calls an account management rpc method on parity, if that sounds unfamiliar to you, I would probably shut parity down.

We've been moving away from being a wallet for end-users since 2.0, in your previous issue I recommended some alternatives, which you shouldn't have any issue using since you got access to your keyfiles? Is there any reason you want to use parity as a wallet? You can use other wallet software and point it at Parity, (also detailed in the github.com/parity-js/shell readme).

The logs are basically just that message over and over..unless you mean something specific?

I put a dozen alt coins on Parity over a year ago because it was a wallet, now i can't do this anymore? How am i going to even get to my alts if I can never get the thing to sync up?

You have your keyfile - your tokens aren't "in your wallet", they are associated with your key on the chain, and any wallet software intended for the purpose should be able to see your balance in each token you hold and let you move it.

Jkennedy160 commented 5 years ago

Hmm, so my account name and the 16 words (or whatever it is) is all i need to access my stuff from another wallet and my coins will be there? Which wallet would you recommend?

jam10o-new commented 5 years ago

Yes, you don't even need the name, just the phrase; mycrypto.com, especially their desktop client so you can run it locally (or myetherwallet.com)

Edit: please use your keyfile though, not the phrase you used in the wallet - parity uses a different seed phrase format these wallets aren't compatible with! I mentioned previously (and it's mentioned in the readme linked above) where it should be located.

these folders

Thank you, but that all seems very confusing to me. Is there no way I can get my Parity to just sync up again? Then I can just move the alts right there off parity. Thanks for your help!

You will need to use a frontend to access your account anyway - the wallet UI no longer works correctly with the latest versions of parity (many of the things it used no longer exist). I was recommending the options above because they really are the simplest way to do this.

You can also consider installing https://github.com/paritytech/fether
