If you can't get a better connection to communicate with a small pool of nodes within 10s, you shouldn't be voted as a delegate? This isn't meant for amateurs and its not there for you to make a quick buck. It's there to run the network. Only the best need apply. This is a serious business and we aren't screwing around here. If you aren't willing to run on solid, dedicated hardware or cloud hosting worth it's salt, it's not worth trying to get votes. This isn't me being harsh, this is the reality of how this system works.
Please, do not be delusional in your fantasies. You do not know what you are talking about - what equipment i use and how amateurish i am.  For example, i run NODE node on one vps for months without any problem, but now the same vps can not run Crypti because client can not sync. Not telling how many NXT servers i run successfully.  Instead of solving problems you prefer to blame those who tell you about problems.  Starik, If you look at the delegate uptimes you will see that my delegate is very low on uptime percent. Thats because I am running it off a computer at my house. The ability to forge blocks in 10 seconds and get the information back to the network is not very reliable with a home computer on a DSL line, and impossible with a satellite connection. The latency is just too long. Most of the delegates are now on hosts such as Google and Vultr. The closer you can get your delegate to the main internet routers, the more successful your delegate will be. I also noticed, while running a delegate off a home computer, that I had constant forks. If the bc wont sync and your sync is bouncing between upper and lower blocks, you are on a fork. You need to delete the bc and restart the node. This is what we find when we test. Changing the 10 second block time to 15 or 20 seconds will mitigate this, but it would also slow down Crypti. |

If you guys want a coin with DAPP and CBCs, come to XCR, Crypti

Really awesome update karma  By the way, i have a question about the 10k fee for making a delegate, why is it there? at the moment it is just s transfer of 10k XCR to the dev nodes. will this (101*10k = 1 million Crypti) be used for the Delegate-reward program later on? it seems like a fair system for making new delegate's, exept for the case it is now, where all the dev node's paid 0 XCR, and get the 10k from the community registering delegate's. the 10K fee for registering delegates is to make sure that only serious Crypti folk make delegates, and not 1000 NXT kiddies that think they can load up on XCR and forge a living wage every month. The 10K fee is divided 90 XCR for each delegate that was the top 101 forging for that block cycle, the other 1000 XCR goes in the foundation account, which is used for the Delegate reward Program, and the faucet. The devs dont get any of this unless they have a delegate running We were going to make it 25K, but then the fees were .5%. Since we lowered the fee to .1% at community request, we lowered the delegate fee as well. The present delegates are all controlled by the foundation, because we need to have ALL TRUSTED DELEGATES for the test period. If there was a malicious delegate, it would complicate the trouble shooting we are doing now. The Delegate Reward Peogram will be started after we fix a few issues, and have a stable network. The foundation delegates will also to voted down so others can forge. It was necesary to have delegates with votes higher than what the largest XCR holder could produce. HINT: Bter has 26 Million XCR still. |

........... seems that about half of the accounts have less than 1 XCR in them.
465 accounts have 1 XCR or less out of a final 0.2.0 account total of 1160 or fewer. From a detective standpoint, it would be interesting to monitor what new accounts are created in the future that receive funds from 983470101446368718C and 6746720336938643271C (Bter), 1064014217195323888C (Poloniex) and 17633453026976314980C (Cryptsy?). Yes would be interesting. Sounds like you found yourself a project. Beats traveling around the galaxy, getting into a gun fight twice every episode? |

node.js is used by other software besides Crypti. It is possible that you picked up a virus from another program or web site.
Looks like Avast just doesn't like it's trying to connect to http://104.238.133.14:8080 which is, I assume, Crypti node? So I should be fine. port 8080? the client is on port 8040. Try manual editing of the address. Check the config.json. make sure the port is listed as 8040 |

Avast doesn't like node.exe, thinks there's an infection for some reason when I launch the client. Should I ignore it/re-install nodejs/other options? https://i.imgur.com/6lXcFI1.pngnode,exe is the Crypti client. I got the same virus warnings, not because theer was a detection, but due to its being new software with few users. Check the certificate under properties. The XCR installer is signed. Ok. I thought there might be a problem with nodejs. Like Nxt client could be fine but Java on a computer is infected. node.js is used by other software besides Crypti. It is possible that you picked up a virus from another program or web site. |

Mal,
Great detective work.
One interesting thing about that list of accounts........... seems that about half of the accounts have less than 1 XCR in them.
I imaging these are abandoned accounts, who moved XCR to exchanges and were unsure of the transaction fees, so left a little change on the table.
There are another 240 or so accounts with just 50.00000 XCR in them. These are one time faucet visitors. Many could also belong to the malcreant that was click slamming the faucet one weekend.

Why there is no uptime for Standby Delegates?  Welcome third delegate! Seems all fee for delegate registering will go to devs  uptime is the percent of forged to missed blocks. A standby delegate is not forging, so is by default 0% uptime. Starik? DO you read the other posts? I already wrote that the foundation delegates, which were necessary to create in order to get the system running properly, will be down voted soon, so the public can have forging delegates. We are still trying to establish that the new software is stable. There have been several issues that we have corrected. Please stand by. |

Uptime...... percent of forged to missed blocks. Updated every block
For what period? I see some delegates with <20% uptime. Do they miss every 4 blocks from 5?  My windows wallet stuck at block 2626  BC explorer at http://146.148.61.64/ shows we are at block 2805 you better restart the node |

I see there is no option to downvote (or remove vote from) a delegate? Yes, it's only possible to upvote. I see there is no option to downvote (or remove vote from) a delegate? You must be trying to down vote when you have not up voted first. Go to MY VOTES...... then SELECT for the delegate to down vote. You cannot down vote a delegate unless you have up voted him first. Litoshi, i cannot downvote even if i voted first. BTW, how uptime is calculated and updated? Voting.... you can vote and remove your vote, bu you cannot remove someone elses vote from a delegate. To allow that would result in negative approvals. Uptime...... percent of forged to missed blocks. Updated every block |

% of approval is the amount of vote's that you have. each % corresponds with a million crypti in votes.
In short, 100% is 100 Million XCR votes. 30% is 30 million votes Why then every dev delegate has 31-33%? What is the math here? The summ of all 101 approvals must be <=100%? An XCR balance can be used to vote more than 1 time, but only once per delegate. With each 1 XCR voting transaction, you can vote for 33 different Delegate's OR remove votes from delegates already voted for. 33 votes per 1 XCR paid. Can be 30 up and 3 down, or 3 up and 30 down. |

The approval is the % of all XCR that voted for that delegate. No one can have 100% unless you get every wallet to vote for you, including the 22 million at Bter. The 33 million was to get above the Bter wallet. |

client was 33 mb for me.
Windows download is 33.3MB. Took about 5 mins for me, but that was when no one else was trying. Could be too many connections right now |

Yes, by the way, the genesis delegate's have about 33 million XCR in vote's behind them. why is this so high, instead of just voting for the with a small amount, so the community can take over the list of delegate's?
That is in the plan. You will note that there are many "foundation" delegtes. Those will be voted down to reserve status. It was necessary to form at least 101 delegates to get the block chain rolling. We were at it for over 12 hours, three hours just starting and restarting the block chain to get it right. We had to bring the delegates up one at a time, and had the usual problems. Matt had only2.5 hrs sleep before he had to leave for work, Boris is up for like 30 hrs now without sleep. Once we have a group of non-foundation delegates registered, we will down vote the spares so you guys can forge. It may appear that the foundation is hogging the votes, but that is only to get things rolling. It will look different in a week. OK, that seems like a good compromise indeed, slowly decentralizing the delegate's from the devs to the community What does % of approval mean? How it is calculated? % of approval is the amount of vote's that you have. each % corresponds with a million crypti in votes. In short, 100% is 100 Million XCR votes. 30% is 30 million votes |

I just registered the first non-dev delegate My name is Barie, and i've been interested & invested in Crypti form the IPO. I'm not that active on this thread, but more so on the official IRC. It does not have any vote's at the moment , so i ask the community to vote for me, lots of vote's are needed to gat past the Dev's own 101 delegate's. I plan on running 2 Delegate's, both run from a VPS in a datacenter, so enough bandwith and uptime. Barie, We want to avoid spamming this forum with "vote for me" posts. Max has made a special topic on our own forum. I will vote for you once there are more delegates to vote for. Casting votes cost 1XCR, irregardless if you vote for 1 or 33. Thats why I will wait for a few more to register. |

btw, can delegate node be run behind NAT? WHY? Because my home comp is behind my ISP NAT Someone said about 101 in an hour...  Tik-tak 10 seconds a block, 101 blocks per cycle......... thats about 17 minutes per cycle counting possible offline delegates. Its very close to 400 blocks an hour. 101 non fictional delegates Where are they? Once you have installed the node, you can see the delegates in the delegate tab. |
