And there is also this guy, it seems he is on yet another legit fork - highest block height so far!
"addr" : "108.61.10.90:8514", "services" : "00000001", "lastsend" : 1409102093, "lastrecv" : 1409102093, "conntime" : 1409102066, "version" : 60006, "subver" : "/tekcoin:1.1.0/", "inbound" : false, "releasetime" : 0, "startingheight" : 506818, "banscore" : 0

It is impossible to tell who is trusted "seeder".

This mess actualy took "The biggest hard-fork mess reward" from Terracoin (3 or 4 hard-forks in a single week but it was not as ugly as this one).
|
|
|
OK, before I go to sleep - a final analysis: 1. http://xguild.net and http://tek.blockx.info/get/chain/TekCoin are on the same wrong fork, not a single PoS block was generated on it for over few thousand blocks.2. Majority of hashrate is most likely a solo miner at 70.181.40.178 Good luck!

No. There are at least 4 different versions of TEK blockchain right now and the only 2 nodes which are up to date in every respect - wallet version and block timestamps - are:
addnode=80.56.202.177 addnode=86.181.242.68
Node at 70.181.40.178 seems to be the only one having it's own version of blockchain and even though it seems to be up to date there are no other nodes with the same version so it is impossible to sync to 70.181.40.178 - as said earlier, unless TEK wallet finds at least 2 nodes on same blockchain it will not sync to any node. I suggest everyone to shut down wallet, add nodes listed above to tekcoin.conf file and then run wallet again.
Block 506732 Time 01:19:00 2014 (GMT +1)Forget it - not gonna work, pools and PoW solo miners are way ahead of everyone else but mining on their own forks. A bit too late here for me to troubleshot others' shits, I'm out.

I would recommend finding the correct fork, issuing a checkpoint past the hard fork, and then reissuing the wallet. This was my strategy with HYP, and it worked well.
Just my .02 btc...
Yea it worked for ADN also. It can not work if majority of network are "cancer" nodes which is the case here. Unless there is filter for all older versions of TEK client there is very little chance legit nodes will be able to connect to other legit nodes - especially important with pools - but once they manage to do that there will be major orphaning of others' blocks. I'm not sure how many blocks in past can TEK network reorganize but it is almost a must to stop being polite to morons who are still using abandoned wallets and kick them out from network until they finaly upgrade. Flappycoin did that successfuly, check it's source-code. This is a perfect example of Hal-Finey (or it is Sybil?) attack, where adversary can cause major problems by intentionaly creating and connecting many "cancer" nodes to network. That is the reason why Bitcoiners are afraid of continualy dropping number of legit full nodes on Bitcoin network. If legit nodes can not find other legit nodes it is basically game over.
|
|
|
All TEK pools should shutdown immidiately and let legit full nodes which are PoS staking overtake network. If you are PoW mining stop it right now!
|
|
|
What a mess! Situation right now is as follows:
1. Majority of full nodes are still using all wallet versions. 2. TEK pools seems to be isolated from each other thus generating blocks only for themselves. 3. It seems that wallet will not sync to just one node that reports highest block count, it waits for at least two nodes to report same block height which is impossible right now. 4. Other full nodes using newest wallet version are stuck or "clueless" because 1. and 2. and 3.
Legit node with the most blocks seems to be one at 70.181.40.178 so add line below to your tekcoin.conf file and restart wallet!
addnode=70.181.40.178

Storage device will fail at some point, wallet.dat might become corrupted and so on - in general, you better make sure your wealth is not dependant on electronic devices alone.
On the "Are these people still on the team?" question from previous page, well, besides few PMs with (I forgot exactly who, one of guys who asked for help with XBC) there was no other constructive conversation. On XBC freenode channel I had some chat with mindfox and others where it was concluded by them I have no clue how PoS works and so on and consequently there is no need to change anything - it is perfectly fine that wallet does not stake until unspent input is 5+ days old (advertised time is 24 hours which is provably not true but I have no time to explain it all again), it is perfectly fine that wallet starts slow as shit due to outdated database, etc. and with such attitude it is not in my interest to offer any of my services, at all. It is a waste of time to testrun application where developer thinks testrunner is stupid and it is counterproductive to give out ideas for stuff no one implemented yet to developer who is unable to merely upgrade application to already written code. Once more important persons than myself behind XBC become serious only then we can start cooperating.

I got my PC up and running since i got new HDD, but my old one is totally dead. i have couple of friends who are experts in these things and they both say that it's gone. also they tried to see if my backup file was fixable, but it is missing something like 60% of data or something. I actually don't know so much about these things that i would like to. so in my eyes those XBC's are gone.
Heres my new address: B539KQtetSJRZo3JJLc1XRNEZRzGyVgU2W
it is great that you like to help me. and i promise to keep my coins safe. and who would sell at these prices anyway?
About the right time to learn important lession: 1. Start your XBC wallet 2. If it is locked just unlock it but uncheck "For staking only" 3. Go to menu Help > Debug window > tab Console 4. In bottom input box type the following line and press enter dumpprivkey B539KQtetSJRZo3JJLc1XRNEZRzGyVgU2W5. Write down code returned on few papers / files / whatever and keep it safe, that is private key for address B539KQtetSJRZo3JJLc1XRNEZRzGyVgU2W 6. Later if your HDD fails again, computer ends up stolen or something like that just use importprivkey privatekey labelto import address to some other XBC wallet. Label is name for address that will be imported, it can be anything you want.

I think they do not have enough TEK money in walletSome of the smaller amounts also came immediately 10.10000000 TEK 2014-08-19 05:33:48 Processed 2014-08-19 05:38:05 100.10000000 TEK 2014-08-19 05:41:37 Processed 2014-08-19 05:46:05 or after the hour 100.10000000 TEK 2014-08-19 16:50:01 Processed 2014-08-19 17:44:05 larger sums must wait 24 hours or more Exchanges generaly keep majority of coins in offline (cold) wallets so it can happen that big withdrawals are delayed. With TEK, extra trouble might come in a form of too many really small unspent inputs - just imagine if someone is PoW mining and sending mined coins to Cryptsy as soon as they matured or sending just coins staked from 1 TEK block rewards, 1000 TEK would be 1000+ transactions which means if you attempt to withdraw that much TEK in one go and Cryptsy picks 1000+ smaller unspent inputs then the size of transaction could be so big that Cryptsy TEK wallet would refuse to create it and throw an error instead. Just withdraw less coins per request and it should work fine.

if you are trustworthy and decent person you would stop failed launch and fix shits before starting again. But as said earlier, that was not and is not in your interest. And what of the vast majority of miners who weren't affected by the bug? We should've just scrapped all their work and risked a fork? That would've been a fair and intelligent move would it? "miners who weren't affected by the bug" = you, your friends and other insiders so of course you don't like idea of nulling "major" mining efforts put into XCN on the first day, it all costed a shitload of money, right?

There are many altcoins which were deliberately launched with minimal difficulty and faulty public wallets - to allow scumbag developers and their friends to instamine - that still have active developement and people like you around who are trying to obfuscate the truth. You have invested (heavily) in a scam and now use all available means to make it all look like a legit deal worthy of investment so that you can eventualy dump on people more stupid than you are. Lets get a few things straight: 1) difficulty readjustment happens very quickly, it changes every block in fact, so starting at a low difficulty didn't matter at all. 2) the faulty wallet was clearly a bug we could not forsee, it didn't appear during the public beta testing because the difficulty never got higher enough. And actually the Windows wallet only stopped working after a few hundred blocks, so they did have a fair chance to mine right at launch like everyone else. 3) this coin probably has less promotion and advertising than any other coin on this forum, and that's mainly because so much money was spent on development, I don't want to spend much more on marketing right now. So unlike most shitty clone cones with good marketing, Cryptonite has cool new features but shitty marketing (probably one reason the price hasn't been doing so well lately). I truly don't have any idea what you're trying to achieve here, other than proving you aren't cut out to be an internet detective. There is nothing you or similar scumbags can teach me. Leave pathetic retoric, coverups and lies for people on who you and your friends will be dumping coins you instamined. I don't really care if you implemented mini-blockchain or invented Warp Drive, free energy generator or something else of eventualy epic proportions - if you are trustworthy and decent person you would stop failed launch and fix shits before starting again. But as said earlier, that was not and is still not in your interest.

I'm very sure you like the feeling of paying others with money you created out of thin air at almost no costs, just like scumbag bankers out there. You do not belong to this forum nor cryptocoin movement in general so please fuck off already.

Friendly reminder for everyone to not get fooled by flashy images, good sounding promises and some faces being on display. Scams have always existed and they will more likely never go away. I'm not intended to bash this project, but you shouldn't really invest with what you can't afford to lose in something that technically doesn't even exist yet.
Problem is that "you shouldn't really invest with what you can't afford to lose" is not good enough. Given that creation of everything that can be seen here and is related to this "project" costed a few BTC at most and actualy not so much time, 100 participants each investing 0.1 is enough for scammers to continue doing the same shit with some other "project" next week. Generaly speaking, scammers actualy don't have to make any money with their latest "project" if their earlier "projects" (now abandoned - just look around, there are hundreds of them already) were very successful.

@subSTRATA, Ah, well, it won't matter in the end. This coin has a much more fair distribution curve than all other coins I've seen. And as I pointed out, the bigger problem is the whales that buy up huge portions at these ridiculous prices.
It will matter. For as long as I and similar people are alive we will be putting the facts up to your and everyone elses' noses. We will not let you hide the truth. If you think that is not OK and actualy neccessary you can go back to fiat and "normal" environment, there are plenty of lies and coverups. I can see what you mean. But in the bigger picture I still don't think it matters.You will have to make a more in-depth disclosure to prove your point. Bigger picture here says as it was already posted - genuine development is used to coverup deliberate instamining. I don't have to disclose anything more. Enough is said for smart investors to start their own research and decide for themselves. Dumb people will not listen regardless of what I posted or could post more.
