What runs when Entcoin is open?

The desktop application runs a local wallet, validating node, SQLite ledger, peer synchronization, relay service, and optional miner in one process. A node validates received blocks and transactions itself; public Seed nodes help with discovery and history but do not approve balances or transactions.

Mining is optional and disabled by default. More hash rate does not guarantee a steady personal reward. Competing blocks, changing network hash rate, difficulty adjustment, connectivity, and normal randomness all affect results.

Before asking for help

Check these items and include non-sensitive results in your topic:

  1. Entcoin version and download source.
  2. Windows or Ubuntu version.
  3. Current height, whether it is changing, and whether another trusted node shows the same tip.
  4. Connected peer count and the listener address shown in Diagnostics.
  5. Whether the issue affects synchronization, sending, receiving, mining, startup, or storage.
  6. The exact action that triggers the problem and a short redacted error.

Never upload the live data directory, wallet vault, .entwallet file, recovery phrase, private key, or unredacted logs. Stop the process before making a full data-directory copy; copying only a live SQLite file can omit WAL data.

Connectivity basics

Desktop nodes prefer TCP port 47821 but may select another free port. A node behind NAT can still connect outward, fully validate, synchronize, and relay. Opening an inbound port is only needed when you want unsolicited internet peers to reach your node. Expose only the P2P listener, not the data directory, remote desktop, or development services.

打开 Entcoin 时运行了什么？

桌面应用在一个进程中运行本地钱包、完整验证节点、SQLite 账本、节点同步、转发服务和可选矿工。每个节点都会独立验证收到的区块与交易；公共 Seed 节点只帮助发现网络和获取历史，不能批准余额或交易。

挖矿是可选功能，默认关闭。更高算力不代表个人奖励会稳定出现；竞争区块、全网算力变化、难度调整、连接状况和正常随机性都会影响结果。

求助前先准备这些信息

检查以下项目，并在主题中提供不含秘密的结果：

  1. Entcoin 版本和下载来源。
  2. Windows 或 Ubuntu 版本。
  3. 当前高度、是否继续变化，以及另一可信节点是否显示相同链尖。
  4. 已连接节点数量和“诊断”页面显示的监听地址。
  5. 问题属于同步、发送、接收、挖矿、启动还是存储。
  6. 触发问题的准确操作和一小段去敏后的错误信息。

不要上传正在使用的数据目录、钱包 vault、.entwallet 文件、恢复词、私钥或未去敏日志。复制完整数据目录前应先停止进程；只复制正在运行的 SQLite 主文件可能遗漏 WAL 数据。

联网基础

桌面节点优先使用 TCP 47821，端口被占用时可能选择其他可用端口。位于 NAT 后的节点仍可向外连接、完整验证、同步和转发。只有希望互联网节点主动连入时，才需要开放入站端口。只暴露 P2P 监听端口，不要暴露数据目录、远程桌面或开发服务。
