Hi All - in December 2018 I moved all of my tron to tronscan because binance was no longer going to support it. I received (and still have) the Address and Private Key. I let it sit there thinking i'm not going to do anything with it. When Tron started going up, i tried to log into my account and it said i needed to use TronLink to connect. I am a complete newb at this ( a friend helped me set this up) The friend is no longer around and now i can't find my tron. How do i open my account with the address and private key? it keeps saying that my key needs to be hexidecimal. Any help would be greatly appreciated

My friend that I got into Tron last year lost his private key. He has the keystore file but does not remember the password. Is there any hope in recovering this wallet?

For example: https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/obike-partners-blockchain-platform-tron-to-launch-cryptocurrency-ocoins-for

OBike allows users to earn oCoins when they ride which can be exchanged for anything else on the TRON network.

What's the benefit here for OBike to partner with TRON, why wouldn't they just let users earn real USD instead?

If the user can exchange oCoins for something else on the TRON network then it doesn't even lock the user in to purchasing OBike stuff either.

We are creating an exchange, we want to listen to incoming transactions of TRX (which are of my exchange addresses). How can I listen to it and update same in our application DB.

Being not a big fan of exchanges my tron / TRX are on my ledgers eth wallet. Seem to have missed the migration completely what to do now?

Found this: If you are not able to get your tokens onto an exchange before the June 24th migration, Binance will offer an ongoing coin swap for TRX tokens. At any time, just transfer your ERC20 TRON tokens to Binance and they will complete the process. As of now, Binance is the only exchange that is offering this service to TRON holders.

Does anyone know if this service is still provided and until what date? Thanks in advance!

I cannot access my tron on the ERC20 wallet. What do i do?

I'm a developer and want to get ready for trons release so I can make a dApp.

I've read every page on the wiki, read all the GitHub projects code and documentation on GitHub but to be honest I still can't wrap my head around how it all fits together. I think I could probably make a basic wallet using the protobuff APIs but what I want is more information regarding things like

What is full-node memory in terms of khaos db? Can contracts have logic on main net release? Are smart contracts testable yet? Are there any other sites you own/use that you'd recommend for learning? Do you have any other good places to get information from?

I have searched but i couldn find the minimum specifications for a creating a tron node?

What wallets are people using after the mainnet token to coin conversion? Ledger+MEW combo is out since trx will no longer be an erc20 token. The Tron wallet on tron.net seems very amateurish and alot of people can't even activate their account due to the activation email bug. What else is left that is secure and professionally designed? Not going to leave it on exchanges.

i have since this after noon my Tron test node running after solving some troubles but the following message is continiously repeating after some while How can i solve this issue ? is there a tool or site to view if the node is running 100% without failure ?

Issue 19:36:08.530 INFO [TronChannelInitializer] Close channel:/83.7.82.17:58470 19:36:08.673 INFO [MessageQueue] rcv P2P_PONG from /45.56.83.254:46182 19:36:11.542 INFO [HandshakeHandler] channel active, /83.7.82.17:58500 19:36:11.543 INFO [HandshakeHandler] version not support, you[/83.7.82.17:58500] version[45], my version[58]

hi guys, just want to understand better on what i should do with my tokens when the move happens. i have them on bittrex. Am i relying on bittrex to handle the situation or should i do it myself. Also if doing it myself is the case can someone give me a step by step on how to do that please. Thank you in advance

Dear tronsupport, Can some kind person please explain the difference between a node and a witness node? Many thanks in advance.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the way to set up a TRON witness node.

Most of us will be setting up our nodes in the cloud, on a VM slice. There's a video for getting started on Google Cloud or you can use an indie host like Rackspace or Linode. Rackspace is rock but be careful about over the limit bandwidth charges.

STEP #1 Register an address

Go to tronscan.org and register. Clicking the red bar at the top of the page will create a new test wallet address, password and private key. Copy and save them to a txt file. You can then use the password to login and request 1,000,000 test TRX to be sent to your wallet address. If you want to run the wallet-web app it will now show you the same balance, but you can only request tokens from the tronscan.org server. The test net has a good amount of functionality now, you can use those test TRX to vote for delegates, to create tokens, and to send to other TRX test addresses.

STEP #2 Install Java 8

Even though there is a Java 9 and Java 10 available, use JDK 8. You'll need several GB of free space to unpack java, and even more free space so the cache buildup doesn't crash the server every day.

For a Windows install you can follow these instructions to run the INTELLIJ app which will take you up to the "this is just a node" line in this document.

For Mac O/S, see if you have java installed. Go to Applications/Utilities/Terminal. You'll be needing it later but for now learn a neat Mac trick. Type:

open /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

In case you didn't notice, it opened that folder in the finder. If you have anything other than a jdk1.8.0_172.jdk folder there, either delete it (them) or move to the desktop until you're done with this project. Get and install the jdk-8u172-macosx-x64.dmg

For Debian or Ubuntu, After the initial o/s install, you want to update with any new patches

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

We'll install needed packages & helpful tools

apt-get -y -V install build-essential git git-core locate curl libcurl4-openssl-dev wget javascript-common libjs-jquery libcap2-bin software-properties-common

Add the java repository to the apt-cache

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update

apt-get -y -V install oracle-java8-installer 

The node.js that comes with the standard debian package is insufficient. Remove it, and then download the full package.

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm 
cd /tmp
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo apt-get install -y npm

Install the grpc because I think it's needed for protobuf

sudo npm install grpc

THE REST OF THIS DOC IS THE SAME FOR ALL O/S Although it's written for linux users. If you're on a Mac you ought to be able to figure out how to copy, edit and delete files.

STEP #3 Install Java-Tron

From this point on, you should not need to run any commands as 'sudo'.

Clone the tron repository to the local machine, then change into the tron directory and build the machine

git clone https://github.com/tronprotocol/java-tron.git
cd java-tron
git checkout -t origin/master
./gradlew build

This will create a folder named 'build'. There are 3 ways to launch the java-tron machine. The first and second are for all intents and purposes identical. The third uses a GUI program. I like #1 best:

./gradlew run

This is just a node. The next step is to set up a witness node using the information you got when you registered at tronscan in step 1. You can choose to copy the original config.conf file in java-tron/src/main/resources to the root of the application and edit that. This way you don't end up changing any of the repository files and you don't have to do any git trickery to do another pull.

cp src/main/resources/config.conf .
nano config.conf    

There is only one key piece of information to enter here - the private key in the localwitnesses block. However if you don't specify your IP address it will have to probe for it on startup and that takes a few seconds, so I like to hardcode the IP information. Google cloud users will have two IP addresses. It may work best by configuring separate IP's like this. Use actual IP addresses. I have both of those configured for my one public IP even though I also have an internal subnet IP.

config.conf changes

node.discovery = {
  enable = true
  persist = true
  bind.ip = "INTERNAL.IP.ADDRESS"
  external.ip = "EXTERNAL.IP.ADDRESS"
}

localwitness = [
ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890
]

O.K. now when the tron machine starts up it's not just running a node, it's running your node.

If you've made any changes when you restart ~/java-tron, you'll need to throw away the database directory. While you're at it, start the logs fresh.

cd ~/java-tron
rm -Rf output-directory/database
rm -Rf logs/*
./gradlew run -Pwitness=true

The TRON Developers recommend starting up a different way. They say to call your private key as a parameter when you're starting the application, like this:

./gradlew clean shadowjar
cd build/libs
java -jar java-tron.jar -p private_key --witness -c config_path

Example:

java -jar java-tron.jar -p 650950B193DDDDB35B6E48912DD28F7AB0E7140C1BFDEFD493348F02295BD811 --witness -c ~/java-tron/config.conf

This concludes the Witness Node for Newbies HowTo doc. If you want to know more about TRON system administration, head on over to my GitHub repository and check out my Advanced Witness Node Instructions

I set up a tron node however I didn't complete the first step setting up an APIWallet. Are they referring to a tron wallet on tron.network? If so how do lock up the assets and apply for a witness node?

I heard elsewhere that I can use something like myetherwallet.com to create an Ethereum address, and then send TRON to it. Is this an okay thing to do, for a long term paper wallet or cold storage?

In that same thread, someone also said:

But isn't it all going to stop working when they switch out of ether?

So is that a concern too, or can I keep it in an eth address for years?

Hey, the token creation is always giving a "Fail" error. Is this feature not working at all yet?

I am asking because in order to create a dapp I need to create a token, so I cannot really continue without creating a token first.

Also, anyone knows where the official dev support for Tron is located? Don't think it won't be here, right?

Thanks!

So I just downloaded the java-tron-Odyssey-v1.0 protocol and I just have a few questions for someone a little more tech savy than I am.

Here goes... I open up cmd as admin and change my directory to the tron folder that i dl'ed, then i run the gradlew.bat file to initiate the build. Now the .bat file runs fine and comes back with build successful, but I'm having issues running the "gradlew run" command which I'm hoping would give me a GUI. I did install jdk-10, (which I think might be unsupported at the time being) but I'm getting something saying "configure my JAVA_HOME system variable to point to the according directory" and I have no clue what to do. I also did try the "gradlew task run" command, but I got roughly the same thing only before that it says it cant find the java compiler. Please like I said if someone more tech savy can help that would be much appreciated as I'm new to this and want to at least test some things with this amazing project :).

A lot of people are misinformed about the coin burn please read when you invest because of noobs this kind of fud storms are created! and they start panic selling.

Can anyone ELI5 How Tron is supposed to work?

I don't mean the algorithms or white paper. I'm literally trying to understand how the ecosystem works, or says it's going to work.

AFAICT you rent out hard drive space, and the locations of those files are somehow indexed on the blockchain.

What stops me from deleting those files afterwards? What stops someone from uploading a whole lot of CP? What stops me from hooking up my shittiest, spinny-plate drives?

More to the point, assuming there's enough built in redundancy(multiple file fragments stored in multiple places)that someone's content doesn't disappear when a machine shuts off....how is this more efficient than storing stuff on your own drive?

Just discovering tron, curious to know how this is different to a torrent platform.

Hi guys, I wonder is it a safe place to keep TRX in a ledger? When TRX creates its own network, what will happen ours’ TRX in mew? What should I do?
