Wallet version 1.1.0 should address all current issues, sit tight.
I am guessing that you mean "address all current synchronization/connection issues"? Building in a couple of hard-coded seed nodes will allow the wallet to find the SYNC network without need of configuration file, so that should indeed solve those issues. Yes, we want to make it as easy as possible to install/update - without all the extra steps. And I will keep asking for a simple sum ability when you highlight items in the transaction screen. Sorry, broken record I know.... I already told McCollec that you dont have to name the feature after me! LOL How about it Youngg can I get a little love? I second this. Nobody has it, and it would be a kickass feature. |

The Cryptsy exchange has halted to a stop, nobody seems to be buying or selling any worthwhile amounts, the chart is lethargic.
I take this to mean that what's been selling is stakes. No stakes, not much movement. It takes a lot of hashpower to mine decent amounts. |

To elaborate on presstab: We have a proposal for a very nice richlist. The owner only wants BTC, though. We have five possibilities and we'd like your opinion on this. 1. We sell HYP to obtain BTC. Pros: simple. Cons; this massive sell would hurt the market 2. We ask BTC donation from the community (0.25 BTC). Pros: it doesn't hurt HYP. Cons: We need YOU (and us) to donate BTC 3. We decline the offer and build our own richlist. Pros: No further dilemna, custom-made richlist wish suits our needs. Cons: getting a nice richlist will require time and effort 4. We stick with present richlist. Pros: No further dilemna. Cons: below-average richlist 5. Other propositions So you tell us. 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5  5.1 Jack an open source richlist that's known to be working. Modify the necessary code. Pay for hosting at far less than .25 BTC, and put Abe on the same server. I don't think I can do it, but I might be able to. I'll look into it as I have time. |

Well, I'll be damned. I kept the little bit of truckcoin I had due to hyperstake launch, though I wasn't involved in the coin.
Forgot about it, to be honest. Today my wallet popped up a stake, so I thought, well let's see what's happening with TRK. Funny thing, somebody resuscitated it while I wasn't looking! Good play, Noise.
I do have a question: Is the wallet upgrade mandatory, or will the one I have work ok for the moment? (I'll likely upgrade anyway, just curious).

This particular not-actually-an-issue is not even limited by time or effort.
As I said, the failsafes have zero effect on a miner's earnings.
I did go ahead and remove the warning on the stats regarding them. Then we had a short failsafe that same night due to a lingering stale block. Not a single person noticed. Not one email, no forum posts, no tickets.
Why? Because it doesn't actually matter to anyone except me since I'm the one that needs to correct the failsafe condition. I honestly can not even recall why I put that message into the stats code in the first place.
So first, its not actually a problem. The system was designed this way for security and general sanity purposes.
Second, could it be designed so that there are even less failsafes or none at all? Probably. Am I going to take the time to do so any time soon? Nope. You're talking weeks of coding and even more testing just to "fix" something that isn't even broken. There are much more important things at Eligius for me to spend that kind of time on, whenever I get it.
As far as doing it just to "better the pool," that's nonsense also. As a matter of fact, if anything went wrong with the rewritten hypothetical failsafe-less code the results would probably kill the pool. The current code is tested extensively and has been in production mode for years now.
Starting from scratch really isn't an option right now unless you want to find and hire a small team of developers who are willing to write a new system and also pay me for the time needed to fully audit that code.
It just is not worth it. Eligius is a zero fee pool run on donations and volunteer work... something that I think is one of its biggest advantages. All of this with very few actual issues.
I so have plans to start rewriting some core code towards the end of the year when I should have more time to do so. Eliminating security advantages is not high on the list.
Having been a programmer, systems programmer and analyst for over 35 years, I support you 100% and thank you for your work, too often unrecognized for the scale, scope and detail involved. The "money quote" from your posting above: "Eliminating security advantages is not high on the list." Bingo. Proof Positive that WizKid is not a government employee  |

LOL bitcoin did not existed when the CIA and NSA were created!  You're gonna let something like impossibility or temporal anomaly ruin a perfectly good conspiracy theory??? |

anyone know of any good complete article explaining staking to like noobs? I'm guessing staking is similar with all coins? Best I've seen is the HoboNickels wiki. |

I think actually that twitter stuff works quite well.. You can also do support via twitter as people message you directly, you get coin recommendations over twitter etc..
be sure to have a look at my sig, i'll always keep you updated with all the latest suprnova stuff !
Since I consider Twitter to be very much akin to the mental equivalent of ebola Zaire, that won't help me any. But personal preference aside, the rule is arbitrary and capricious. |

Hey, anyone up for a weekly 50/50 draw?
50% to the winner, 50% to development, marketing, promotion, etc.
Put it up, I'll play. |

Does this mean we'll have to wait 30 days or until your coins stake Biomech, to make sure the wallet is working correctly?
Will we still receive our 40% stake on our coins for this month? or are we going to lose a months staking interest?
I'm sure the same questions are going through everyone's mind!
Thanks
To my knowledge, nobody has staked yet, and won't before the new wallet is actually released. It, if I understand correctly, will require a hard fork to get the staking going again. What I'm testing is to make sure that the wallet syncs properly and is keeping up with the correct blockchain. The fork will be at some point in the future, and announced well ahead of time. Your staking weight will not be affected, and when it does stake it will be the correct interest for the amount of time. It will just be a longer than usual amount of time. |

Cor2, Biomech, yeah, I did all of that and checked everything fucking 10 times! And no result still. I installed fresh windows, runned the wallet, it worked fine for 1 day, then I reseted my PC and the wallet crashed. Is there anything else can I do, like reinstall windows or runtime C++ library or smth...?
I'm quite puzzled. I've had no problems with either the windows or the linux wallet since Nite got involved. PM me, I'll see if I can help. |

Made .conf, redownloaded wallet, but still 0 conections... dont understand wtf happend
Make sure your firewall is allowing the port. If it's Windows or Linux, and you're still having trouble, I can probably help. But usually connections are a port problem if you have the right addnodes in your .conf file. Also, make sure the .conf file is in the data directory, not the directory where your .exe file is. (/home/user/.Sync for linux, \users\username\appdata\roaming\Sync for Windows) Unfortunately I know jack shit about Mac. Hope it helps. EDIT: Ninja'd again  See the above post as well, good points. |

The new wallet is being tested, I'm one of the testers. I figure I'm a huge cheerleader, I can be a guinea pig too I don't have a time line for you, as there have been some things outside of crypto affecting the dev team. Hang loose a little longer, it's being fixed. |

Yes. And how do you stake? I was going to buy some on an exchange now that I have the block but I don't know how I'm going to go about it. it isn't possible on the wallet?
1. Buy some TEK at the exchange. 2. Transfer them to your wallet. 3. Wait 30 days or more (the hard part). 4. Unencrypt your wallet (but don't unlock it). 5. Leave the wallet program running, unencrypted, or shut it down and restart it from time to time, unencrypted. 6. Wait, as patiently as you can. Within a day or three (more or less) you will see a transaction something like: 09/08/2014 13:52 PoS Mined (n/a) 123.45 where the fields are date, time, type, address, and amount. I think that's everything - feel free to correct, everyone. 4 and 5 are backwards. Unlock it but don't unencrypt it. Or don't encrypt it in the first place if you are in a secure enough place, I suppose. |

I usually don't comment on the rules, as most of them are unobtrusive. But it seems like this one is specifically for the purpose of restricting pools from being seen. You all claim to want decentralized networks, but then do whatever you can to centralize. This isn't the only instance I can think of, but this one is egregious.
It would be FAR BETTER to warn a pool op if they were overdoing it. Getting devs to update the OP is at best a random exercise, and, Bad Bear I'm looking at you, you people know that to be true.
This is a rule like so many "exectutive" decisions that was made without any thought to the consequences, or else was something deliberately done to retard commerce.

Trying to figure out the POS thing of HyperStake.
If someone has all his coins on 1 pile and opens his wallet a couple of times a year will that person also get 750% or will reward be capped ?
You can do this. There is a ceiling of 1,000 HYP per stake. So if your 750% annual rate produces a reward of more than 1,000, then it will be capped. If it produces a reward under 1,000 then there is no cap. So planning your staking goals correctly can help to avoid any cap. That must be real "fun" for ppl with a lot of coins, more coins more work. Usually its the other way around ! Interesting project, will keep an eye open on this one. ok, I have bought some hyp, might as well give it a try then reading about it.  Welcome to the laboratory. |

Is the wallet only 64 bit? Doesn't seem run on an older 32 bit system.
New one uploaded. Can you let me know if it works? Thanks Does it need firecoind to run? firecoind is 81M in size which is 10x+ bigger than any other similar file from any other coin I have. Because it's so large, I would think it's not right. Plus I can't scan it on virustotal because of the size. So I renamed it but the wallet doesn't run. The other one is not needed. I normally just leave it alone and only run the QT. Make sure you have the daemon closed. k. Well the new dl you put up with firecoin-qt doesn't run for me. What exactly is it doing or not doing? I'm fairly good at troubleshooting wallets. Run it and it immediately pops up a dialog with "firecoin-Qt (OSS GUI client for firecoin) has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I run 12 other wallets. Only other problem I've had is a coin I tried to get running called Hyper and that one fails when it gets to loading the block index. This is a shot in the dark, but it has worked for me with a similar problem. Copy all the .dll files from a working coin into the same directory as the QT exe file. I'm out of time for tonight, but if that don't work and nobody else gets you going, I can help tomorrow. Hyper never worked for me either But Fire works fine as a daemon under Ubuntu. I've not compiled the QT yet, so I've no opinion or insight there. |
