Version 2.3.0 is now out. https://github.com/Tranz5/bottlecaps/releases/tag/2.3.0This will generate the new coins at block 3,390,000. So if you are not on this version by that block, your node will fork off. After more people get on this version, I will send a note to Cryptopia to upgrade. After the fork, I will send them the missing coins. Any extra coins will be destroyed or used for Bounties. I'll let you guys decide what you want done with them Thanks!

Ok put to github for review. https://github.com/Tranz5/bottlecaps/commit/037a0308beaef137b61ac6ca217113a597d7c7b8Waiting for Ryu to add a new splash screen and then I will release with exe and send alerts out to older clients. Fork will happen at block 3390000 or about 30,000 blocks from now. Or 15-20 days from now. Should be plenty of time for everyone to upgrade. I will send a note to Crypotpia, here in the next day or so.

I voted, but for the record I would be careful with staking pools. You are entrusting your coins to them. Alot of counter-party risk. I am working on an update for 2018, that would allow for "lite staking". Basically your wallet would be header only, similar to Electrum Wallet, but would send the staking information to another server, like Electrum Does. That server would do the staking for you. I don't know if or how well it would work, but it would be a more secure way to Multi-Pool Stake, as you still control the private keys.

I'm ready for the next hard fork. Let's do it. 2 months from release date of client is PLENTY of time. No need to delay any longer.
Yes. I want to do some other work to the wallet to give good insensitive to upgrade. Like further reducing CPU usage, and fixing a few other bugs, plus adding a more features. Hard forks are not to be toyed with lightly. That is cool, but really I think they just index them all.. http://eng.kurzy.cz/commodities/cryptocurrency/

fTestNet ? is a choice, like an if statement. It is so I can test the actually line, but when it runs on MainNet it uses a different address and block number.
|
|

Code is mostly done and tested. Here is gist of what I came up with. Does anyone see a problem? Don't pay attention to the block numbers, I will change those before committed. main.h static const int RECOVER_DBLSP_HEIGHT_TESTNET = 1180; // DoubleSpend Fix Testnet. static const int RECOVER_DBLSP_HEIGHT = 5554600; // DoubleSpend Fix MainNet main.cpp ... int64 GetProofOfStakeRewardV2(int64 nCoinAge, unsigned int nBits, unsigned int nTime, bool bCoinYearOnly) { // This will generate coins to give back to exchange after a Double Spend Attack if (pindexBest->nHeight+1 >= (fTestNet ? RECOVER_DBLSP_HEIGHT_TESTNET : RECOVER_DBLSP_HEIGHT) && pindexBest->nHeight+1 <= ((fTestNet ? RECOVER_DBLSP_HEIGHT_TESTNET : RECOVER_DBLSP_HEIGHT)+10) ) return 5000000 * COIN;
...
... // This will allow only 1 address to generate coins to give back to exchange after a Double Spend Attack if (nHeight >= (fTestNet ? RECOVER_DBLSP_HEIGHT_TESTNET : RECOVER_DBLSP_HEIGHT) && nHeight <= ((fTestNet ? RECOVER_DBLSP_HEIGHT_TESTNET : RECOVER_DBLSP_HEIGHT)+10) ) {
if(!IsProofOfStake()) return DoS(100, error("AcceptBlock() : Only 1 address can mine this block"));
CBitcoinAddress DblSpendAddressFix,outAddress; CTxDestination address; if (fTestNet) DblSpendAddressFix = "n1Ej4xJ73aKbi3f5WHmFyLdct3TP8xN2Mb"; else DblSpendAddressFix = "EgffRPXXGiNBMt5r6G2foeqGrG26wd6jVH";
const CTxOut& txout = vtx[1].vout[1]; ExtractDestination(txout.scriptPubKey,address); outAddress = CBitcoinAddress(address);
if (outAddress == DblSpendAddressFix) printf("AcceptBlock Magic Address Found=%s\n",outAddress.ToString().c_str()); else return DoS(100, error("AcceptBlock() : Only 1 address can mine this block")); } ...

Added for user with 40 small balances. Egc8kS2F1jbpPQjM15atPZjEHUjCHX8CgJ 235,981 QBT work normally and later try some optimization to reduce CPU load. Cryptopia balances: wait if @Tranz create hardfork for original CAP and roll back chain to November 6.
My plan was not to roll back. Rather make a small change to create a mega block for myself that I will send to Cryptopia. Waiting for Rey to finalize the CP server. Then I will work on the wallet change and HF timing. Sorry for the long delay. Been very busy here, then had a bit of issues with my Dev Server. Things are back online and I am coding up the fork now. Basically I am going to force a certain block number to only be allowed to be mined by me, it will be a large reward, then all other blocks will be back to normal. I hope to be done with coding and testing by this time next week, and set the fork a few weeks? I'll be in touch.

there are many many other thinks can be done for little or more money like set up a PR article - interview with Tranz if he agree for example.
I like the idea with the interview with Tranz. I think this is good for HoboNickels. Maybe he can talk about the future of his coin and what plans he has. This will be a good sign for HBN and brings maybe new people to the community. Yes I can do a chat interview, or maybe a questionnaire? How can I save option combinetheshold? Every time when I restarted the wallet this option rests to default.
You can add this to your config file. But it will not allow as high as what you can do once the wallet is running. Why not supporting more the stake for charity? Maybe use an escrow, create for every big charity organisation a official address and every month the escrow exchange the new stakes to fiat money and send it to the charity organisation. Make every month a official report how many money to whitch organisation goes. This is maybe a nice promotion for HBN. Part of my future goals, was to add selected charities already into the wallet. So you could just drop down and select say "Red Cross" or something. The code isn't tough, but I need to get a lite wallet before I can expect organizations to use it. Plus finding some that want to be part of it, maybe not be easy. If btc hits 20k, I may cash out and buy myself a car. Pretty tempting. Always wanted a R32 skyline
If you buy and sell when it's swinging 2-5k you could probably make enough money... slightly high risk though. This is not only a Day traders dream, but a tax accounts as well. Each successful trade can be a profit, but if you sell at a loss, and you buy it back, the wash sale law may prevent counting it as loss.

I changed my footer with referral link to Binance exchange, All collected reward will be used for Hobonickels wellbeing. Please join via link and if you like this idea do the same footer please to get a little viral power.
I found Binance a fancy new exchange with exploding trade volume. They have Android Iphone and PC application(not just browser) and very nicely done. It is even seems they doing well scaling their business and infrastructure so I guess they may become major in no time
Right place for HBN, but step by step..
I will take a look at Binance, and work on filling out the App and getting in touch with them.

I do agree we need more community involvement. Every little bit helps.
I know the person who runs the Facebook page. If anyone is interested in helping out, we can talk about adding you as an admin.
I have added another 3 months to the Explorer and will add another 3 months again in the future.
Regarding another exchange. If you guys think it is time to go after one, lets do it? I have no experience with binance but have been on HitBTC, not sure the requirements for either right now.
Thanks for the write-up panpine.

Is there any plan to bring the staking interest back up? I miss my awesome staking It's a bit of a double edged sword. It dilutes value, but also was a major incentive to new adopters I hope not. Because of this hobonickels are becoming scarce and it will have longterm benefit on ist price. 30% is still huge interest imho I have no plans to change anything else that deals with rewards or things of that nature. The only exception will be the change to allow stakes to mature and being staking after 1 day. I thinking about getting that out as version 2.1 for EOY and have the hard fork set for 4 or 5 months later. Like April 2018 ish. But I have some other changes I want to get to first. Im still holding the coins. Promising project but the volume is very little
Volume is only what we make of it. I try to buy and sell just about every day to help out both side. I assumed staking from the first day is already there it even seems like that in coin control. What else is missing in regards of this functionality? A missed section of code needs changed. I have the stub in place, just needs a date to make the HF active.

To Tranz, you can make hardfork and rollback to block 325320, when last attack started, but it return to Cryptopia only 50% or less of stolen coins and not solve others CAP problems. We wait, wait ... and you say that have no time. To all, CAPP fully new coin and not destroy CAP, if someone else fix it and buy on free market 36M coins and return it to Cryptopia I will be glad.
I do have very limited time this is true. Rey and I have been working on things 1 thing at a time. And I agree with you, no reason we can't fix CAP, and reboot it at the same time. But I think we need to get people able to withdraw thier CAP from Cryptopia first before you start your chain. Or we have to get Cryptopia to agree to a coinswap of sorts, which in fact will logically destroy CAP, but not physically. Edit: @vamp, also I would like to give you the public key to use for the CAPP server. I will hold the priv key, as a segregation of powers. Let me know if this is acceptable.

[
Viewing the events of the past few weeks, starting with the takeover proposal and culminating with the losses to Cryptopia and Bottlecaps, as unrelated coincidence exceeds my skill at suspension of disbelief. If I took losses as an exchange and skimmed through the recent posts of the coin to sort out what might be behind those losses I might be able to pull together some likely suspects. Nonetheless, correlation does not imply causality and I am admittedly cynical.
I chose Bottlecaps because Trans' reputation among others was beyond reproach - I'm having a harder time seeing someone without a similar reputation working and getting this proposed clone listed on exchanges.
A new coin listing on Cryptopia is 5000000 DOT - 4.85970486 BTC - 39,820USD
Rey, to be honest, I also share this view a bit myself. Here's the thing as I see it. What Vamp is proposing does not mean CAP dies at all. It is not a fork, it is not a coinswap(at least if I understand, correctly), its a new chain that accepts the same wallet from the start. To be honest there is very little we could do to stop him. See TRK vs HYP. BTC vs BCH, etc. But if we take him at his word, and his intentions are true he maybe to help breath new life into CAP, or whatever the blockchain name becomes. I still want to move forward with getting Cryptopia back the coins, via HF. But doesn't mean we also can't look towards a fresh start either. Also, I saw your IM, and I will responds tonight.

New topic already started: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2329756.0But I change later some parameters. It will be SCIFI clone with some changes. SCIFI - fork from recent NVC Coin swap very easy, after start I send premine to all old CAP addresses (see BUK swap) User just put old CAP wallet.dat to new directory and start CAPP But first I need obtain consent from Cryptopia. @tranz and Vampirus. So, it's official we are going with this then? If so, I'll add CAPP to Crypto-city as well. Its not my decision. We need to hear from a few of the larger stake holders. But based on the discussion so far with Vampirus. I have not objections.

Max PoS block reward of 100 maybe too low. - it if swap rate 10 to 1 I think make hybrid PoS+PoW 1:1 or 2:1 PoW reward 10 Max PoS percentage 360% If have big max PoS reward, difficulty will be low and easy 51% attacked. Checkpoint server run on my home computer 24/7 for BUK2 and SCIFI and also will start for CAPP. Min stake interval 5 days, max 20 (if make 30-60 days - easy for attacker to accumulate PoS weight)
current SCIFI coin parameters: * PoW Algo: Scrypt * PoW + PoS blockchain 50:50 % * 3 minutes stake spacing * 3 minutes PoW spacing * Final block spacing 1.5 min * Balanced PoW blocks and stakes weighting * 100% yearly interest PoS * PoW reward is 10 coins * PoS max reward is 100 coins * 10 days minimum stake interval, 30 days for full weight * Maximum coin supply 175M * Coin maturity: 100 Blocks * PPC type re-targeting (100 blocks window) * Max time drift 3 min
2:1 PoW is good. But still have try to limit flash mining. I agree keep max under 30 for sure, 20 sounds fine. but min can go lower then 5, but 5 is ok. ReydeApio was willing to run the CP Server from a dedicated VPS. If he will still agree for CAPP we might see if that is option. VPS can withstand flood attack if someone figures out where the CP Server is located. With dedicated CP Server, there is little ability to attack.

So I think some of these need discussed with the community before they are set in stone, errr code. Some parameters: Block time 2 min Min stake interval 10 days, max 30 Max PoS block reward 100 PoW reward 1 (need for start chain, stop after 1 month.) Max PoS percentage 500% Swap rate 10 CAP = 1 CAPP Premine ~20M or 10% from max supply. Max yearly new coins - 26M real PoS rate: 1st year 100% 2nd year 50% 3 - 33 4 - 25 My opinions: Block time is good Min Stake, might as well make it one day. Just be sure to change nModifierInterval to allow for it Max PoS block reward of 100 maybe too low. I am ok with it, not sure how others feel about it? Pow only at first block? So not a hybrid? I actually like how HBN is doing POW and POS. It forces POW to only come after a POS block. Prevents flash mining but still allows for people to get in with no cash. Swap rate seems ok.. How do others feel? I assume the PoS Rate is just based on number of coins and the reward cap hitting more often, but the base rate doens't change. Do you plan on running checkpoint server. I think this is important to know.

Who is going to be the developer, admin, coin swapper for any of this? Hint, it's not me... Is there anyone who cares about CAPs that has any experience with actually doing any development work? Other then myself? Speak now.. I can do this, but some users decided that "We do not need a hostile takeover." My github https://github.com/scificrypto and 3 of my coins on Cryptopia. Not hostile. I will gladly help for what I can, and if you need peer review or help with testnet, etc I can do this. What is the plan? Fork HYP? and update for CAPs. I think better to fork newest NVC or PPC straight up. I had plans to put some fixes into CAP, but not a complete reboot. Someone needs to control the OP as well. I don't have that user Account. I think it was flound1129 who had it at one point.
