It's not gone people,  it's missing from Cryptsy because they are doing some kind of site database upgrade and a bunch of wallets that were in maintenance are now off the list until its done.

They said it would be finished this morning.  Well there's Cryptsy for you.  This is directly from what Mullick and Horus said in their trollbox. 

If this is true,  start buying that dip because its fake as a 3 dolla bill 

Cryptsy confirmed that the wallet is swapped now, but they have some database upgrade they need to do which is going to hold the coin off the balance list until tomorrow.

Soon....!

Fake NOBL node spotted?   Should this node be blocked for possible malicious activity?

Emphasis on above, this is the truth.  Even though blue names will say they "I can't help you", and "what ticket?", and "that's not my department", and "I'm not on the wallet team"  ask them anyway.  I believe their internal priorities are probably tracked based on ad-hoc approach like "how many time i saw the same question show up in my inbox" rather than a real organized project tracking process.   

Mullick is on the wallet "team", but other influential blue names to keep an eye out for are  JShock, Horus,  NetworkAdmin,   DCGirl,  FiveMil,  Nordman,  GreenLion, in that order.  Remind them the Ticket number eagleflies sent, and add your own if possible. 

EagleFlies, please post as much of the ticket status as you can in here without giving away private information- so people reading this thread know what to ask about in the trollbox, and so they don't ask about things that are already solved or irrelevant to the real wallet issues. 

I think the 170 million address was burned a few days ago

This looks like a generic answer that either means the issue is being ignored, or that Cryptsy has some kind of problem with determining who is the rightful owner of the title of "NobleCoin Dev".  I don't think they are unaware of the frustration about the coin being stuck in maintenance.  I think they are pretending to not know.  Their communication skills are known to suck unless you really go out of your way to stay in their field of view and be persistent.   

So EagleFlies,  are you contacting Cryptsy about this, staying on top of the tickets?  What has Cryptsy said?    Do they not think you are the rightful dev (yet)? 

INB4  "full code review"  excuses.  Cryptsy's wallet "team" supposedly looks at wallets day in and day out all day every day.  This is not something that should take 2 weeks to do for a supposedly "expert"  team of wallet technicians.  It shouldn't even take 2 days.  I personally suspect that Cryptsy is full of shit and they really have like 2 guys at most on this  "team" who look at wallets. They play favorites, take payoffs even though they claim not to (do you think they have a PayCoin USD market as a coincidence?? No, a deal was made there)  They are totally hog tied with this mintsy distraction because Paul Vernon is at the bottom just an average Joe early miner who got a lucky break, who consequently thinks of cryptocoin as a mining game first and foremost and everything else can take a back seat. 

What's the current state of things with WDC?   Is there some place I can get caught up on what's going on with development, etc?    Such a great name for a coin, it seems like it should get more traction than it has lately. 

How many days are left in the PoW   phase?   Will it be extended?   POW+POS  is better than POS alone,  I believe. 

2.4 billion outstanding, but it looks like a LOT of those are going to be lost (based on what I am seeing in this thread so far) due to people not knowing about or missing the wallet upgrade, or unable to perform it for various reasons.   

POW Mining still happening for 3 more weeks I think,  during hybrid POW/POS period.    Personally I think that the coin should stay hybrid POW/POS and not go full POS, but I'm not the dev. 

Close the wallet,  go into %appdata%/noblecoinpos   and delete the  debug.log file.

then open the wallet, wait for about 2 minutes to pass, then close it.   This should give you a fresh debug.log file.

Post or pastebin that log file where people can see it to try to diagnose why it cannot find a connection.    I have 4 wallets on 4 different systems spread across three locations, all but one connected fine initially.  The one that was bad was having a conflict grabbing its external IP address properly  which i needed to fix in my router. 

Thanks, that clears it up nicely!

It's confusing to see POW and POS rewards in the same format in that block explorer's history list, when they are really indicating very different things. 

I fixed the above,  so no help needed on that.

But I have now another question,  please tell me if I am misunderstanding how stake rewards work -  I remember the Dev estimating in this thread that after the POS switch,  Coin emission should drop from about 7.2 MM NOBL/day under POW,  to about 0.5MM/day under POS-II.   But there seem to be many rapid and huge stake payouts being generated, much much faster than that. 

What's going on?

external miner was working great until I found a block (err.. share):



DEBUG: [3 thread] Found share!
- info about block that was found here,  snipped out--
HTTP resquest failed: The requested URL returned error: 500 Internal Server Error
submit_upstream_work json_rpc_call failed
...retry after 30 seconds


Any idea what's wrong?  Is this just a typical orphaned block or might I have some settings misconfiguration?

My mistake,  you are right it does work.   Wow,  I am at almost 25% of total hashpower now, according to netmhashps.   I doubt that will last long!

I don't think that miner is 100% compatible with Noblecoin,   since the performance it reports in benchmark is far higher than the built in wallet's reported performance (My Core I7-3740 reports about 14000 hashes/sec in the Qt wallet,  but the standalone miner reports  about 58000 kh/sec.  Seems unlikely that a few compile time switches can account for such a wide disparity in performance.   20%, 50% speedup, maaaaybe.  410%?   No.  These two mining engines cannot be using the same algorithm.

I got a block at last.
Maybe it's just getting competitive  

What do you have in your noblecoin.conf file?   I have been mining for about 2 hours with no blocks found yet,  I have about 60kh running so far.   No blocks  

I stand corrected - I see you did file a ticket well in advance, so the problem is not as clear cut.  Cryptsy works on their own schedule though, that is well known. 
If you want to get their attention you have to make some noise in their chat window sometimes, to make sure your ticket doesn't get put on the back burner behind other, louder complainers.  I still applaud them for going the extra length, while other exchanges don't ask many questions and don't do full source code reviews when they should (if they ever do at all).  I don't mind if it foils some pumpers' plans and timetables. Good.   Cryptsy has too many people trying to pump NOBL for short term gain,  I'm fine with them getting cold feet and going somewhere else.  NOBL will be fine, I think you are doing a great job on the tech side. 

Thanks for being one of the few (only?) exchanges who does their homework on coins and updates.  I don't have any reason to think eagleflies or anyone involved in NOBL would try to pull anything sneaky (would be nice if they got this ball rolling before the announced changeover though), but it's good policy to check out any new code and other exchanges should not be lazy / greedy and rely on Cryptsy to do this for them. 

It's just unfortunate that so many people are moving coins there and will get them "stuck"  while the code review is done,  this is going to weigh on the price for a few days methinks.

Somewhat off topic but have you been following what is being worked on in Slasher 2.0 lately?
