Zcash4win BETA is out!

ok, add these to lines to %AppData%\Zcash\zcash.conf to make it listen on port 9999, for example, rather than 8233, for p2p connections (you wouldn’t get any inbound on that port but i don’t think you’d be expecting them anyway as you’re prolly behind a NAT/firewall to begin with):

bind=0.0.0.0:9999
bind=[::]:9999

I tested in on my zcash4win install on this laptop, works perfectly

need to add that to the mythical future FAQ…I mean yeah its in the docs for command line zcash I just had never tested that setting being changed and then tried to use the GUI :slight_smile:

no problem! thanks for the log snippet that revealed how to solve the same issue for others, too!

Another small question sorry :slight_smile: I’ve running Zcash4win for a long time but the synchronizing takes ages. Now after two evenings running the program it’s not further then 45%. Is this normal that it takes so long?

so, i have question about this error message in debug log …
2017-11-11 08:57:55 ERROR: AcceptToMemoryPool: joinsplit requirements not met

some times sync process hangs for few minutes and this error appear in log file. If i wait for a while sync continues after 5-15min, but takes some more time than usually.
If i restart z4w during this hangs, process continues immediately.

my question is if its normal or i can do something to solve this error.
thanx

those are normal and can be ignored

there are patches of the blockchain that take a long time to sync (early may 2017 is the worst) due to the transactions in those blocks…just let it ride, once it hits 100% it takes just a few minutes every day or two to catch it up if you don’t leave it running all the time

How possibly to renew wallet after reinstall win10 and zcash?

Hi. I’ve seen this brought up before but it seems it was resolved for some people by restarting. I’ve been stuck here for a couple of days now. As soon as I open the program y get this error.

Any help is good. Thanks and have a good day.

I had zcash in the zcash4win wallet, but because of malware had to reformat HDD and reinstalled win10. How do I retrieve the zcash I had previously in the wallet?

You need to possibly start zcashd.exe from the command line…and before trying that, your debug.log may have clues, too, its at %AppData%\Zcash\debug.log and the last 50-100 lines would be good to see

you need your wallet.dat file or the private keys exported…otherwise it is gone

ok, how to get the private key for that old address?

1 Like

if you didn’t back up the HD or wallet before you formatted that drive then it is gone unless you have drive recovery tools that can get the %AppData%\Zzcash\wallet.dat file back from before you formatted it

the private keys ARE the cryptocurrency

always back them up!!!

Hi Radix, thanks for the reply and help. However, I get this message when launching from command.

Thanks a lot.

you need to upgrade to 1.0.11, which is linked from https;//zcash4win.com !!!

Can I ‘refresh’ Zcash4win’ … like F5 for most browsers?.. It doesn’t seem to update until I completely restart it.
thx

is there an way to get more then 8 connections?

Mine currently has 13 connections. I haven’t changed anything in the config. I have noticed the longer it stays online, the more it connects to. It usually sits at 8 connections for a while before going any higher.
