Aaaand the monero spam is back with a silly loaded question.
I have no idea why you would be interested in derailing my topic the way you did with that unrelated comment but I do wish you well. Let's get back to topic. CryptoNote is not limited to its usage realized through Monero, it is a groundbreaking crypto-technology. I do believe that it is extremely undervalued. Hahh, okay, whatever you say Mr. Moneroman. |

That's just really unprofessional that there are no links to the windows wallet. Especially since apparently some people are staking already. Staking has been a part of LEOcoin from the start. As a mixed PoW/PoS cryptocurrency, a 4% stake interest could be received when using an unencrypted wallet. The new staking mechanism is not yet in force. Tests are still running and the links to the appropriate new wallets will be given in due time. My wallet certainly doesn't have staking in it (v1.5.0.0). And since the old wallet works fine there's literally no reason not to have the link for those up until the new wallets are ready. You're just excluding people. My wallet is version v1.3.0.0. and it does stake. I get LEOcoins on an almost daily basis. The version you mention does stake too, I have it on another pc. If you e.g. look at this address: http://explorer.leocoin.org/address/LLYidvXHyF2abb8g3oCAysRBPyyahTMKgo. You can see that it started staking already on 2014-11-10: http://explorer.leocoin.org/block/6ccdd03f9e45264d80e97a95d3371b246d8e2cee12dbddf01d50b9e9fbf512de. Total LEOcoin supply is currently 73,679,313.802325. From this approximately 2,947,173 were created with PoS. So no one is being excluded. If your wallet for some reason does not stake, please contact LEOcoin support.  No staking difficulty, no staking icon. |

Block 19k already ?
Lol. Is this a DNET clone with instamine? That would make it a full circle. |

I used to solomine coins even if it was unlikely for me to find a block alone. Waking up and checking if I have found a block or not was much more exciting than poolmining for tiny fractions of blocks.
But now I draw the line at 12 hours; I don't solomine if my estimated average time between blocks is longer than 12 hours but I solomine everything else if I can.
Its the same for me, I get an email through to my phone whenever i hit a block so its always exciting when my phone beeps incase its a block ive hit but its been too long now. I just cant switch it off yet or selse it will feel like 6 weeks have been wasted and ive got it in my head that because its been so long im bound to hit a block soon. I also solomined some Eth a few months back but I stopped because Geth just randomly lost sync. It gave no errors, nothing and I was still mining but it was not getting new blocks from the network. When I restarted it it syncing but eventually it dropped again. And it had dozens of connections. Wasted quite some time that way. It's probably been fixed long ago but it's worth checking that everything is working. |

I threw my rigs at the test pool a few hours ago to see how the difficulty behaves and it seems great. The maximum difficulty I've seen was 0.0063 (instead of ~0.1) and more importantly it's much more reactive and can jump up und a down a lot (eg. 0.0026 > 0.0004) between blocks if needed instead of slowly climbing like the previous retarget did.
But the block times seem to be quite high.
From block 1733140 to 1733188 the average was 1 minute and 26 seconds with 110% average actual shares needed. It's a small period I know but still.
Then I stopped my miners abruptly to see how the difficulty adapts. There was no blocks found for about 92 minutes but it was due to really bad luck (I think) so eventually I put one rig back on the test pool.
I mean the pool's dashboard said we were at ~1400% shares when the block was found but on the blocks page it seems to be divided by 10 and shows 143% shares required (block 1733192).
1400% seems more reasonable compared to the time between blocks.

I really hope Ethereum never goes PoS because when it does GPU mining is going to completely fall apart. Eth is gaining about 1TH per month and it doesn't look like it's slowing down.
We're going to be completely fucked when it does.
PoS doesn't really matter because there's a difficulty bomb in place so mining will get harder and harder until it's not profitable anymore: Difficulty adjustment scheme
A lot of you have been wondering how we would implement a switch from PoW to PoS in time for Serenity. This will be handled by the newly introduced difficulty adjustment scheme, which elegantly guarantees a hard-fork point in the next 16 months.
It works as follow: starting from block 200,000 the difficulty will undergo an exponential increase which will only become noticeable in about a year. At that point (just around the release of the Serenity milestone), we’ll see a significant increase in difficulty which will start pushing the block resolution time upwards.
So, a year on, the network will continue to be useful for roughly 3-4 months, but eventually will reach an ‘Ice Age’ of sorts: the difficulty will simply be too high for anyone to find a block. This will allow us to introduce PoS, perhaps via Casper, if it proves itself. The difficulty bomb might get changed to take longer to set in though if PoS/Serenity is not ready in time. |

Well, it's safe to say after this coin that X11 is the next scrypt, meaning it's officially an ASIC-only coin.
The difference between network hashrate and the price is huge. It's pointless to GPU mine.

@EverGreenCoin:
This coin is too good to pass up solely because of these fork issues however annoying they might be. You guys will solve this eventually.
More info:
My "good" wallet that had staking disabled and I haven't mining with/to it also forked again at block 461516.
So now I know nodes can wander off to wrong forks even without any form of coin generation.
It basically stopped syncing and shows that it's 203 blocks behind but that's just keep increasing as blocks are being generated on the correct fork.
Checking the debug.log I have plenty of this:
received block 000000272a378005f92d
Misbehaving: 149.202.49.99:5757 (0 -> 100) DISCONNECTING
disconnecting node egc-seed5.granitecoin.com
ERROR: ProcessBlock() : block with too little proof-of-work
And a ton of these from even before the fork:
trying connection egc-seed1.granitecoin.com lastseen=0.0hrs
connected egc-seed1.granitecoin.com
send version message: version 70000, blocks=461605, us=0.0.0.0:0, them=51.254.216.25:5757, peer=51.254.216.25:5757
socket closed
disconnecting node egc-seed1.granitecoin.com
and:
trying connection egc-seed5.granitecoin.com lastseen=0.0hrs
connected egc-seed5.granitecoin.com
send version message: version 70000, blocks=461660, us=0.0.0.0:0, them=149.202.49.99:5757, peer=149.202.49.99:5757
socket recv error 10054
disconnecting node egc-seed5.granitecoin.com
These socket closings are suspicios to me. I don't have that for other coins and as I mentioned earlier these are happening even if I'm on the right fork.

There's a difficulty bomb in place which means the difficulty keep increasing even if the same amount of miners would mine it. you can read more about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1487014.0. The current diff is 46,964,515,312,887 and with your hashrate you'll need 767 hours or 32 days to find a block on average if the difficulty would stay the same. The calculation is simple: eth_difficulty / your_hashrate_in_hashes = block_finding_frequency_in_seconds so it's 46,964,515,312,887 / 17,000,000 = 2,762,618 seconds which is close to 32 days. With such a long time the variance is huge so if you're a bit unlucky you might not find a block in several months. And Ethereums very low block times aren't helping you either unless you have a really good connection. |

Some more info to potentially help figure out the problem:
I resynced from scratch two different wallets on different computers and networks and forced both wallets to only use crysx's granitecoin nodes (thanks crysx) because they seem to be always on the right fork.
One wallet for staking, one for mining (staking disabled).
About half a day ago the staking wallet forked. Okay, I resynced it and disabled staking and it's working fine since. We'll see if it wanders off without staking and mining (unlikely).
And now, a few hours ago the other wallet I was mining to forked. The forked wallet is still connected to the same nodes as the one on the correct chain and the forked wallet says it's synced while it's several hundred blocks off and it's staying there for hours. The debug.log says I get disconnected from the nodes periodically with socket recv error 10054 but it reconnects prompty anyway. Note that same error is happening just as frequently on the "good" wallet.
I could still mine and advance the wrong fork while it's connected to the "good nodes". I get that it should eventually make its way back on the right fork but I'm not sure if that's a good idea instead of refusing connections to wrong forks because it doesn't seem to get back there especially after hundreds of blocks on the forked chain.
Either way, I've never seen anything like this before.

Yep, was just about to say it. Unfortunately we had some poor luck finding the two most difficult blocks but now we're speeding up.

I'm selling all of mine (2580) but I'm not sure why anyone would want it since the coin has a massive 10 million premine.

oops.. ive been lazy and busy.
Didnt update to latest wallet.. so yesterday it seems i went unsynched.
Downloaded the latest version, and the bootstrap.
Started the loading now.
If there is any posibility to incorporate a indicatior of progress on boostrap-loading, that would be helpful.
Im guessing many just assume everything has hung when its acting like it is while loading bootstrap.
If you really want to know, you can see where you're at by looking at the size of the blk0001.dat file in your EverGreenCoin directory where your wallet file is. It will keep increasing in size and until it reaches about the same size as the bootstrap file, at which point it's done. @EverGreenCoin: you're right and thank you for the explanation. |

So now the tables have turned and now I have about 90% rejected stakes all of a sudden.
