Unable to claim LBTC

Open jachymb opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

While trying to claim LBTC, I am getting either Connection failed with: timeout('timed out',) or Connection failed with: error('Connection reset!',). Maybe the list of seed nodes is outdated or something?

Hi, same problem, tried LBTC and BCX and get no error message. The program seems to run, nothing happens. I installed python 2.7.15 on windows10, other scripts work. I found my address on http://www.findmycoins.ninja/, coins are forkable. python claimer.py LBTC txID Key Address LBTCDestination

They seem to have switched codebase, restarted the mainnet, and also removed all unclaimed legacy BTC transactions. I'm looking into updating, but I don't have any LBTC coins to test with right now.

In the meantime, you can check https://explorer.lbtc.io and see if you actually own any LBTC. If you haven't previously claimed LBTC, you most likely do not now.

I can only imagine what kinds of wild issues @ymgve must have encountered implementing all these different codebase-switching, balance-resetting blockchain clone-coins. It would be interesting to know what the most random quirks were. Aside from not having testing coins on some forks..
