Re: [Bitcoin-development] Testnet3

2015-03-12 Thread Thy Shizzle
Strangely enough, it has started to work properly and I didn't even touch my 
code just had it sitting there in the loop/ping circuit it was performing and 
capturing with wireshark.that is quite odd!

Hi, so I have my .NET node communicating on the P2P network just fine, so I 
figured as I'll now start looking at making and validating transactions etc I 
should probably migrate to test net. Now I see that we are up to the third 
generation testnet testnet3, and I am sending my messages now using packet 
magic 0x0b110907 and I'm using Wireshark and I can confirm that my messages are 
going out with that packet magic.
Now what is interesting is that when I try connect to a test node obtained from 
DNS seed testnet-seed.bitcoin.petertodd.org, I send it a version message with 
the testnet3 packet magic, yet I get no verack or version in response In 
fact, the only thing I get back is a ping and then the connection is severed by 
the remote node.
What is going on? Also, it works fine with the mainnet packet magic value of 
0x0f9beb4d9 and I am debuging my code and ensuring it is looking for the 
testnet3 packet magic, but I am not getting a response from the node?--

[Bitcoin-development] Testnet3 difficulty transition problem?

2012-12-22 Thread Andreas Schildbach
Both blocks

38304 015bb4069249fa1f41ae61d8a7447aaacc33c50dacd3c3654377fa43

and

40320 8011f56b8c92ff27fb502df5723171c5374673670ef0eee3696aee6d

are difficulty transition blocks. However, block 40320 has a difficulty
of 1. I know there is this special testnet rule that allows mining a
block at difficulty 1, but I always thought you can't use this exception
on difficulty transition blocks.

As a result, bitcoinj based clients do not advance their blockchain past
block 40319.
