Updating from Blockmarket 1.1.0

yes! just installing Syscoin Core 4 into my applications folder.

on the mac with my BM 1.2.3 i get the “cannot obtain a lock on data directory”

on my other computer with no syscoin previously installed, i get the “error: incorrect or no genesis block found. wrong datadir for network”

thanks

@johnp should be able to figure this one out

thank you, not ideal but I installed Syscoin Core 4 on my bootcamp windows and it seems to be working so far, blockchain is syncing now.

i’m curious if the syscoin core 4 on mac is not working because i previously didn’t have syscoin core 3?

rror: incorrect or no genesis block found. wrong datadir for network”

You got that error because you must have loaded your saved Sys2 wallet.dat file, you cant do that
You needed to allow the new installation to create a new wallet.dat and import the dump file

This is because you had another instance running, you should not have installed Spark until you generated the dumpfile as both Sys2 and Sys4 use the 'Syscoin directory. Sys3 used ‘Syscoincore’

ah, i have the dumpfile from BM 1.2.3 - should i just uninstall my wallet completely, download Syscoin Core 4, and import the dumpfile in?

Yes as simple as that
Make sure that if you created a Syscoin folder in appdata with BM1.2.3 you rename it first, then just do a new install of Sys4, let is sync and import dumpfile

I’m also trying to upgrade from blockmarket 1.1.1 . Where did you find the 1.2.3 link? thanks.

do you have a link to BM 1.2.3?
I’m also trying to upgrade.

You do not need to update to 1.2.3
1.1.1 will work
But it was linked in the guide i gave you

Where are you trying to dump from
And what is the command you are trying to execute

I am now trying it with syscore (MAC) version v3.2.0.0-b857b3d (64-bit) following this:
I opened console and typed :
1)walletpassphrase ‘YOUR PASSWORD’ 120 , added my password, fine until now
2)dumpwallet “C:\Users\Public\sys2dump.bmwalletdump” but I got: Cannot open wallet dump file (code -8). I go to the public file and there is nothing there obviously.

I can see the funds in my wallet eve though wallet has not finished synching, what should I do?
thanks

Well thats not the command for a MAC, thats windows
/Users/xxxxx/Public/sys2dump.bmwalletdump is what you need and xxxxx is your username on the Mac

I did that and i get this response:
15:46:21 /Users/ernesto davila/Public/sys2dump.bmwalletdump
response: method not found (code32601)

I also wrote my user name without space and got same error.

I think we are getting closer John, thanks for your help

dumpwallet “/Users/ernesto davila/Public/sys2dump.bmwalletdump”

I got it working John, thanks for the support
