RE: Week 7 - LBRY Credits (LBC) - $100 a week on low-cap coins +FREE LBC

in #altcoin7 years ago

Hey man, just tried to download LBRY. I've heard about it a lot, finally downloaded it (I know, terrible)

But, whenever I open it.. It just closes after a minute.

Anyone ever experienced that problem? Wtfux?

Sort:  

I actually did read about that when I was researching today. This is the answer that was given

I had the same problem and found a thread where if the ports are already in use the daemon will crash.

If any programs are currently using ports 3333/4444 then LBRY will crash

Unfortunately I'm not smart enough to tell you what that means but from reading about crypto wallets for a long time, the answer is usually to delete the wallet, restart your computer and re-install the wallet. It's kind of like unplugging the router/modem for 30 seconds then plugging it back in back in the day.

I think your best chance to get a good answer is to go to their slack channel at http://slack.lbry.io/ because real time interaction makes solving problems easier. If not you can always ask int he r/lbry subreddit.

Or if you have a miner, try turning it off and see if that works.

Boom! Thanks man. Fixed it. Apparently, you can restart the miners AFTER LBRY and it will bind the miners to different ports. Sweet!

You can also set an environment variable, but I failed at that. I figured that out also though!
