Halo,
I have been really busy lately. I was wondering if I can request the new art to post over at the Garden. And links for Wallets. I'll try to get them updated today while at work.
Cheers!

Since it wasn't based on a calender year, what was the actual day when staking switched from 20% to 10%?
That info can be found on the OP |

Can I mine this coin with an ASIC?
No you cannot, this is in pure 100% POS. Mining was completed a year plus ago check OP. Cheers -Raven |

All done. Was going to write up the coin control thing, but my gf just brought home a bottle of abuela's coquito......  Actually it made it a little easier. Words flowed like the coquito in my cup. LMAO!!! Coin Control
Coin control allows greater control of how you send your coins, so to be more efficient and from a chronologic point-of-view. While not required, this is more necessary for PoS coins, because you wouldn't want to send coins to someone if they were just about to stake and especially if you had other coins that had just finished staking.
How to use it:
First, you have to enable coin control. Run your wallet and let it sync. Next, click Settings --> Options --> Display. Click the box next to "Display Coin Control Features (experts only!). Click Apply, then OK. Click on the "Send Coins" tab. You should now have a "Coin Control Features" box, if not, restart your wallet. Clicking "Inputs..." allows you to view the dates for all of the deposits you have made into your wallet, and for PoS coins, it allows you to see when the coins last moved within your wallet (for example, staking moves them by sending them to yourself, this is done automatically and normally splits the original amount into halves via two transactions). Use the "tree and list" modes to suit your viewing needs. The priority column is telling you which coins are next in line to be used, whether for staking or sending.
Note: More transactions in your wallet takes more time to load the coin control box. Have patience, it will load. Doing anything else within the wallet might make your wallet freeze temporarily until it is done loading the coin control box. Even though your operating system (windows, mac, etc, etc) might state the wallet has become unresponsive, it is still loading, just wait.
Note: Navigating in the coin control box can get confusing if looking for a certain wallet address. Because PoS splits the original value into two values when staking, it is possible to gain additional addresses that you aren't aware of. Use the explorer to find your keys and trace your transactions in question.
Note: The fee associated with sending coins via coin control may or may not be equivalent to the dialog box that asks "if you want to send 'x' OC fee to support the network". When in doubt, the dialog box fee supercedes the stated coin control fee.
Note: Coins that are staking are not be able to be viewed in Coin Control until they finish confirming. Did I miss anything? Only spent 45-60 minutes on it so far. Nice Halo! |

Hey everyone, great work on everything and looking forward to the upcoming additions. Much thanks to the community and especially Halo and Soopy, bravo.
I'm curious about the new Mac update and if there is a way to download the blockchain so it all doesn't have to be downloaded again. This is a common issue that I have with several coins. There doesn't seem to be too great of an answer anywhere on the 'net outside of tech language which is out of the scope of new coin adopters, speculators, tech un-savvy folk. I was going to suggest a FAQ (I am not capable of writing it) about such issues that commonly arise with wallet changes, forks, etc. Written for the layman and for folks who are not tech savvy and don't know about add-nodes etc.
I am glad to donate!!
Also, since I have maintained a windows wallet while Mac has been down do I have to install my most recent .dat file in order to see the most recent staking rewards!?
Good work OC team!
edit: Also, what is coin control and how do I use it? Can I direct staked coins to a new address? Thanks!!
We have a bootstrap file with instructions located on the website that you can use that speeds up the download, use this path instead for Mac, "~/Library/App Support/Orangecoin/bootstrap.dat". Coin control wiki from HBN: http://wiki.hobonickels.info/index.php?title=Coin_Control. Basically it lets you choose what coins to send instead of letting the wallet choose for you. It's for efficient staking, so you don't mess up your coin ages, or it's for sending coins from a certain wallet key for whatever reason you'd want. If coins are staked, they are automatically placed into the "staked:" of the "overview" tab of the wallet. They are immovable and unusable until they get all the required confirms. Additional information on staked coins can be found in the tutorial section of the website. I can make an updated Bootstrap if needed PM me if i need to do so. Cheers! -Raven PS I am around if anyone needs any help or has any ideas! feel free to shoot them to the community! |

new wallet looks great!
Question: The "recent transactions" on the front of the wallet have not changed since 6/29/15 and even then all transactions are not posted.
What is causing this and how to fix?
thanks,
john
I will look into bringing a fix on this on the next update.
Warm Regards,
~SoopY~Thank you Soop!
Also Masternodes will be implemented and be fully functional by Christmas , my gift to you for Christmas.
Warm Regards,
~SoopY~Words cannot explain how happy I am to hear this!! I hope Santy Clause will treats you well! Cheers! -Raven |

John after some digging, we have this temporary solution see below the quoted text. Cheers! -Raven Also guys, How can we implement a permanent fix to this? I personally thing it scares people as if transactions are not being completed or completely orphaned. I have tons of those. I don't regard those.
So in a way they like the blocks that never happened and that are like in a way stale blocks etc. oh well just coins sat their worth nadda then maybe something to look into on being able to remove them lol. Wonder whatt causing this then as am sure that is another bug to look at what the cause is and how to resolve it. Little feature for future to have option to show what transactions you want and have a tick list. Come up with the idea from this so can hid what you don't want to see lol
This is not an issue but common to all coins pos or pow , this happens when another stake is generated at the same time as the amount in question and someone else stakes at the same time and obtains the stakes to themselves , much like when it happens on pow , when the block orphans when someone else solves it before you. This is how it is and meant to be.
Warm Regards,
~SoopY~Ah you took the words right out me was trying to mean orphaned blocks. Least I know what it is now and can relate it to that. Just couldn't remember the name used when this happens. Now remember exactly one word jump starts a bunch of stuff use to do in past and present lol. Just couldn't think of that magical world lol Another description I've heard is "phantom" transactions which I recall seeing in another POS thread on how to purge those from Qt (but not bookmarked so I haven't been able to recall the thread). Searching for that solution I found another reference to what I believe I read. http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/16528/how-to-remove-unconfirmed-non-existent-transaction-from-qt-walletSo, after locking Qt to enable all Tx Confirms to catch-up then backing-up wallet.dat I was all set to try the suggested "-zap..txes" command but found it not available in Debug Help or via the command-line in the OC client therefore presume it's a newer feature of Bitcoin core. Btw - another time I recall the term "phantom" transactions was after observing in Reddcoin Qt transactions pop-up up from the tool-bar icon but not appear within the wallet so I'm thinking they have some auto-pruning mechanism in their wallet. Soopy had given me a python script to use to delete all of the orphans. Users must know how to use python or follow the instructions. I can't provide support for this method, I just followed the instructions, but it worked. I'll pass it along. If people don't know what they are are doing after reading it, I suggest not doing it. Backing up the wallet.dat prior to using this method is highly advised. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=35214.0https://github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet |

TRANSLATIONSOP to-do: delete broken explorer link Can we add to that list: Fix OP site(weebly)\links update to 2.0.2? |
|
|
|
|
I can confirm that staking works with the 2.0.1 - 2.0.2 difference. according to chainz explorer there's only two people using 2.0.2 and the rest using 2.0.1.
Cheers!
