@anon47418038 I’m having a problem with the program. I open it, it syncronisez, everything works perfect… except when I close the program and want to open it again… it just won’t do it until I restart my PC.
do you have any 3rd party security software running, or a firewall rule blocking the connection somehow?
Looks like it just can’t connect to the zcashd.exe process for some reason
no idea, that is a new one…and full node wallets like this like to be left running all the time if at all possible. Most issues users have are when starting it up when it is behind on syncing
Program wont open for me now. Before ok, run, sync, but now just wont open. I tried run it from command line to see some debug info but no luck - just nothing. No running process, nothing.
I am a newbie to this and thanks a lot for creating the wallet! I have encountered the following problem which prevented me from opening for the first time:
A general unexpected critical error has occurred: com.eclipsesource.json.ParseException: Expected value at 1:1 See console output for more detailed error information!
I looked up another post and followed the instruction there but instead of running ‘zcashd.exe -daemon=0 -showmetrics=1’ here’s what I do:
create a zcash.conf
addnode=mainnet.z.cash
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=passwordrandom
daemon=1
showmetrics=0
gen=0
run .\zcashd.exe in powershell
Open zcash4win
I was able to get into the gui wallet after all the work and when I check the debug log the first line it shows
Zcash version v1.0.10-1-eabd83a-dirty (2017-07-05 17:13:13 +0000)
I am wondering if this is normal? Not sure if the word ‘dirty’ means anything.
the word “dirty” refers to some different build options in the compiler or linker! I’ve always hated that, makes users, well, suspicious like you were being…open source programmers can be dense in the midst of their brilliance sigh
you need to sync the blockchain in the terminal with the command line zcash daemon, instructions for that in PowerShell are repeated several times up thread!
ok, here we go! Click on the Start Menu and start typing Powershell, it’ll bring it up to click on.
In that command line first type (I’d copy and paste it ):
cd "c:\Program Files\zcash4win\app\"
Then run the command:
.\zcashd.exe -daemon=0 -showmetrics=1
That’ll sync the blockchain in the command prompt. On that screen it’ll have a metric displayed for “Block height”, when that matches the current block height on https://zcha.in you are caught up and can launch the zcash4win GUI. And once it’s sync’d it is happiest if it is running all the time (all full node wallets all regardless of coin!) [EDITED FOR TYPO ABOVE]
