Following exchanges have all removed Cinni due to lack of volume or problems with wallet. Sad

Bleutrade
Coins-e
Europex
C-Cex
Coin-Swap
Swaphole
Crypto-altex - dead exchange

OP needs to be updated and these exchanges removed.  OP never included Bleutrade when they added it and it was mentioned in this thread, and still has not updated to include Lazy-Coins.
and please get rid of  battbott from the donation beg.  He definitely does not a deserve a beer at all  Angry.

Cinni can still be traded on these exchanges
Crypto-Trade,
Atomic-Trade,
palth,
Poloniex,
Bittrex
and Lazy-Coins
(new exchange, add to OP please).

is it too late to request a refund or switch to another product from minersource? The GH/$ difference seems is rather significant now with for prosperos x1 vs other manufacturers.  I bought an extra psu that was offered as part of the compensation and had the impression at the time it would be in my hands by now, but still waiting.  every week makes my order seem more and more worthless compared to other offerings.  :\

....

I have asked a friend to help me with anon transaction implementation using the EM protocol described in the CINNI whitepaper:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/49w5yo2cy7my4xr/Cinni+Anonymous+Transfer.pdf

In theory it sounds fairly simple to implement, but I can assure you that it is more difficult (to implement properly in a trustless, secure manner).
For example, precautions need to be made to make sure one node cannot maliciously alter code to accept CINNI, but then not send it to the next node as instructed in the EM. There will be a time delay for change transactions (for further obfuscation) where we need to make sure that nothing during that time delay can be done that would prevent the change being later sent to the correct change address.

Our EM platform is secure. We need to make sure our anon platform is secure as well. Expect 1.5 to 2 weeks (estimate not hard deadline) before anon transactions are ready for beta testing. Alpha testing for various security issues will come before that on testnet.


You're a breath of fresh air. Do you foresee issues with the basic concept described in the whitepaper or any other challenges regarding implementation? And do you believe the original claim is true: that this can be a 100% trustless, decentralised, effective solution that avoids the implementation headaches and false promises of other anon coins?

1. Do you foresee issues with the basic concept described in the whitepaper or any other challenges regarding implementation?

I think the concept it solid. Challenges involve identifying any bugs or security weaknesses in the protocol.

2. Do you believe the original claim is true: that this can be a 100% trustless, decentralized, effective solution that avoids the implementation headaches and false promises of other anon coins?

It will definitely be decentralized. As designed it is meant to be trustless (encrypted messaging will provide sufficient information to each relay node to facilitate the next step of the transaction but onion routing will limit the information shared with each relay node to ensure none know the identity of both sender and receiver). Significant testing will be done to make sure that there are no weaknesses for bad actors to exploit.

From a theoretical standpoint, if every node either colluded or was controlled by the same bad actor, the sender and receiver would be revealed.  We can use math to estimate the likelihood of this.  Security can be increased by increasing the number of nodes (which will generate transaction fees for their owners) operated by independent non colluding parties and/or increasing the number of relay nodes to be used in each transaction. Of course the incremental benefit of adding each additional relay node must be balanced against transaction times and effect on the size of the blockchain.

I think I may be able to have something set up for alpha testing of certain Anon Transaction protocols  by next weekend. Anyone wishing to participate can send me a PM. Dont worry about how many coins are needed to operate a node. Free coins can be provided for testnet.

Thank you for those that already messaged me. I still need a few more anon transaction testers. Windows only for now (Mac will come later). I want to run some experiments to see if we can allow the user to dynamically choose the number or nodes to use in a transaction and how that decision will impact anonymity.

The more nodes we have the lower the chance one party could control all the nodes in any particular onion routing transaction. Too many nodes will slow down transaction times and increase the blockchain size. We must find the right balance for upper/lower limits.

I think setting limits on the splitting of inputs or adding a min requirement for stake would be helpful.  its the fractional/dust stakes that are causing the slowdown and stalling in wallets and build up in wallets that have been staking for a long time.  these wallets then also cause alot of ophans to appear and bloat the wallet.dat if coinage is accumulated on that and the wallet not opened for a few weeks, they cause high CPU usage and orphans as they all try to stake at the same time, the ones that do stake compound the problem as they will split further.  The idea behind splitting is to build network support but there needs to balance limits set.  Blackcoin has the right method i think, no maximum coinage and inputs will split once from their initial transfer to an address.  
Cinni should rmeove the maximum coinage/weight and make it unlimited to reduce the threat of an attack on blockchain.  With removal of the max age, there is no risk of a malicious holder building up coinage on thousands of inputs and attempting to disrupt or attack the blockchain.

Anon transfers are pointless if these critical issues are not fixed first. 

Crypto-Trade recently mentioned about the CPU problems that Cinni and a few others coins where the dev has not fixed this problem, maybe because they are not aware of it or dont know how.
About recent CINNI/UTC issues:

We think we have finally found the bug that leads to a CPU consumption of 100% and prevents (or let's say extremely slows down) UTC and CINNI transfers to/from CT: it's a phenomenom called PoS dust, mentioned by David Latapie in his "How PoS works" article, which can be found here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606342


Quote
Third: Compounded interest
Leaving a wallet open 24/7 costs more electricity (and CPU power, more on this later) but also make you benefit more from compounded interest (interests adding to capital so that next time capital to base interest upon will be bigger - in a bank, you compound your interest once an year, in crypto, at the end of each period, so every twenty days for Mintcoin). If you received all of your coins in just one big transaction, you could just stick to open wallet at every stake period and this is it. You receive your coins, and they count for the next stake. But if you received them in several parts (99% of users) there are end-of-period occuring a lot and so opportunity for compounding interests occuring a lot (in other words, "it's every day twenty days"). By just opening you wallet every 20 days, you are actually losing compounded interest. Notice that with compounded interest, you should achieve more than 20% interest on Mintcoin (at the cost of electricity, though and less CPU-mining power, though). It is not worth it if you don't have a lot of coin (except if you don't pay for your electricity).
Beware though: the multiplication of the end-of-period generates "dust", something similar to fragmentation on a disk. This won't increase the size of your wallet, but it will require more CPU power. You may end up with 100% CPU usage. Raspberry or VPS are ways to mitigate this. Another way is to resort to "spring cleaning": every once in a while, you move all your coin to another wallet; you sacrifice every coin age to get back to a normal level of CPU usage. Heartbreaking.

Great job on the votings. After all CT decided to list both coins:

"If 1st and 2nd ranked coins differ by less than 50 votes at the time of decision, Crypto-Trade will add both coins."
(they added this last few hours or so I think)

Without the payvotes we may not have had enough, so thanks a lot.

Winners:
1st place - Cryptogenic Bullion (CGB).
2nd place - Orbitcoin (ORB).

Winners will be paired with BTC & USD.They will be added after few hours


CGB/USD and CGB/BTC! This is awesome! Time for to liberate some CGB from Cryptsy  Cheesy

I do have my X-1 up and running. So I als MS about the LCD for it. Here's the answere:

We expect to receive the LCDs for the X1s in the next 2-3 weeks. We have noted that you would like to receive one when they arrive. It will be shipped to you free of charge, though with the cheapest shipping method unless you would like to pay for faster shipping. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Minersource Support Team

I hope they can make the date happen .... ;-)

Do we have to explicitly ask for those LCDs in order to have them sent?
And what about mounting them by ourselves, wouldn't this void the guarantee (there is that seal/sticker)?
Since I allredy have mine in Hand I ask for it to complete the box.
I have mine for sale in a auction right know (well; actualy there is an bid on it, so it is sold) and I will send the LCD to the seller.

But thats a good Point to aks about the warranty ... Maybe they send a new seal with the LCD :-)

so for those of that haven't received our x1's yet, we actually have to email and ask for them to be included?
646  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: CryptoBiz Magazine Cover! | Cryptogenic Bullion | CGB on: August 03, 2014, 06:03:33 AM
Good find! So yes, then it is legit this time.  Cry

yeah bit of a downer, but we can learn from that Smiley
647  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: CryptoBiz Magazine Cover! | Cryptogenic Bullion | CGB on: August 03, 2014, 05:50:05 AM
I'd say keep your powder dry till the latest moment.

"We take the voting winner every two weeks on Sunday evening (UTC), we announce the official closing time earlier in the day."

Crypto-Trade sees current standings as legit (different ID's, different IP's). Easy to fake and since he faked it earlier this week it's very likely another workaround.
Anyways I've tried.

I think you might be incorrect here, while  I know that TOR abuse has occurred with similar voting systems in past, after a quick google i found this,
[0.50 ORB] ★★ OrbitCoin Giveaway! ★★ Entering CryptoTrade ★★ Coins every hour ★★ - http://bitcoingarden.tk/forum/index.php?topic=829.msg64115#msg64115

So it would seem for that coin it does appear the majority of votes are more real this time, admin for bitcoin garden forum there started a giveaway on 1st Aug after the fake votes were removed and is paying each post 0.5 ORB/per vote + a free worldcoin to setup their account to be eligible for voting.
Forum seems to host alot of these types of giveaways for voting coins onto exchanges (bitcointalk stopped allowing giveaways, so they moved to other forums).  
I don't think there are any rules about paying others/holding giveaways to vote every hour so and and alot of people will jump on board something like this to get their freebies.  and works out cheaper for the coin then paying directly for votes (can 100x more from the crowd for the same amount of btc)





648  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: CryptoBiz Magazine Cover! | Cryptogenic Bullion | CGB on: August 02, 2014, 10:37:25 PM
When does voting end? I am in est. keep voting guys, push comes to shove I will buy some votes. Almost there!

Site uses UTC time and currently is August 02, 2014, 10:35:43 PM there right now.

By switching IP's. Crypto-trade already answered me:
"Actually we already fixed this issue two days ago and cleaned up (=deleted) all false votes that were made for ORB."

But last night the orb guy did it again, I'm sure he tries to sneak his way in that way. At least they are aware of it.  


ah that is sneaky.  they did remove the fake votes from before, i saw the number plummet for that coin afterwards but seems to have doubled up since then.  

I'm sure CT will make sure that it all is fair and no cheating or abuse of their system occurs Smiley

Heres how the ranking looks currently showing CGB in #1 @ 306 votes! Its a great effort so far from everyone that has participated Smiley

651  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: cryptsy did not add money to account after transfer on: August 02, 2014, 01:30:24 PM
My last issue with cryptsy took nearly 5 months before it got resolved and very little updates or communication from them.  They will fix it in their own time.

Use a better exchange, with the fiat markets they added and new restrictions on unverified users, its really not worth wasting time there anymore.

Lots of alternatives out there with better support and no restrictions.  
652  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: CryptoBiz Magazine Cover! | Cryptogenic Bullion | CGB on: August 02, 2014, 01:24:20 PM
Orbit is sabotaging the voting process. I have informed Crypto-Trade. Hopefully they will agree and remove it.

What do you mean sabotage?  How are they doing that?

Can somebody help me??? I am trying to send cinnicoins to Mintpal exchange from my wallet but I got  these unconfirmed errors??? why?? My cinni wallet version is V1.1.0.0
The wallet is synced and staking fine just these transactions are not going. Did I loose the coins??


These Transaction ID are not into blockchain, so , try this :
First backup wallet.dat in safe place, after that, launch cinnicoin client with  -salvagewallet
If don't work export your private key and import in a new clean wallet.
Quote
Hi cinblo, How to launch cinnicoin client? and how to import my private key? I only know to run a wallet and no idea what a cinnicoin client is? Can somebody help me?

For simplify if you don't know how to this, follow this step :
1) create a folder in your system like c:\cinni
2) download this 2 files from wallet.cinniblock.com and put into c:\cinni
3) launch cmd.exe if you don't know where is use search function of your windows operating system and type: cmd.exe  click on it
4) inside prompt of ms-dos type:  
c:\cinni\CinniCoin-qt.exe -salvagewallet

Remember before start this process to backup your wallet.dat file and put in safe place.
Let me know if work for you.
Best regards,
cinblo

if you can open the wallet.dat successfully, salvage is not needed.  If the situation is that person has no backup wallet.dat before the bad transaction causing stuck coins then best method is simply export the privkeys for each address they want to save, and then import into a new wallet. Remember the hidden change addresses and get those privatekeys as well.
Only reason for anyone to use salvagewallet is if the wallet is corrupted because of eg a power failure, forced close the walletqt before it had finished writing to the file etc


UKgunner posted a guide way back, and this is the way if you have no good backups of your wallet.dat.  You can skip downloading old wallet/blockchain downloading parts

Ok this is how i managed to get my PoS working again after wallet update and also get back all my missing coins that where gone from my balance...

Credits for this go to "digit" and "fox19891989" who from their posts and help i managed to solve my problems, i just took their combined info to make a nice clean guide.

Restoring a old wallet.dat backup from before the update and then using the old wallet solves it, but also leaves all the rejected PoS coins from the new wallet visible. So the following method is a better way which will tidy up your wallet and fix all problems caused with balances and will have you staking coins without a problem.

You will need to have your wallet unlocked at all times to carry out this fix

1. In NEW wallet make sure CoinControl is active (settings>options>display). Then go to send coins and click inputs in CoinControl panel, from there click on list view. Scroll through the list and right click on each address displayed there and copy the address then post it in notepad.

2. Now you have got all your addresses including the hidden change addresses time to export the private keys. Open the console still in the NEW wallet (help>debug window>console). Type into the console dumpprivkey <CinniCoinaddress>, where <CinniCoinaddress> put your address here (example: dumpprivkey JVgfbKMk9MrdwZry7X6iCTunTtdS2h1fYP). Do this for each of the addresses you got in step one, after each dump your private key for that address will be shown in the console window, copy and paste each of these keys into notepad also best place would be below each of the addresses your copied earlier so you know which key is for each address.

3. Now you have all your private keys close the NEW wallet and download the OLD vesion from http://1.cinnicoin.com/get-started/ and also the blockchain from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=573232.msg6866461#msg6866461 . Once you have both replace the NEW wallet exe with the OLD one you just downloaded, then go to AppData\Roaming\CinniCoin move the wallet.dat file to somewhere safe just in case something goes wrong, then delete everything from the CinniCoin folder except cinnicoin.conf if you use it. Then open the blockchain file you also downloaded and copy the two files into the CinniCoin folder.

4. Once all that is done open the OLD wallet, you will have a balance of 0 and a new address (dont panic). You will now need to import the private keys that you exported earlier, once again open the console (help>debug window>console) this time you will need the command importprivkey <CinniCoinprivkey> [label] , where it shows <CinniCoinprivkey> [label] you wil need to enter the private key you exported earlier and for label you can put anything you want that address to be called (example: importprivkey SR3MP8bJDAjl1GTnQ99ZoK13rSzwT3rTomotS8eEiFfgYLE8XMz8 WALLET 1) once you press enter after typing the command you will have to wait a bit and the wallet will seem like it is not responding, just be patient and after a while the key will have finished importing. Repeat this for all the private keys you backed up earlier.

5. Once finished importing all keys close and then open the OLD wallet your balance should now be correct and all rejected stake will have gone, the wallet will continue to stake correct also after this. You will need to stay on the OLD wallet for it to continue working and staking well.


Balances should be correct doing after the above, as rescan is automatic, but if you want to be sure you can force a rescan of blockchain for the addresses in wallet using "cinnicoin.exe -rescan"
655  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [CRYPTO-TRADE v2.0] Crypto-Trade.com Exchange & IPO -new- official thread! on: July 30, 2014, 11:54:49 PM
Maybe you not understand me...

I meant table shown when choosing a particular trading pairs. For example LTC/USD:
https://crypto-trade.com/currencies/trade/ltc_usd
It have no any filter or sorting options at all

NOT table in my account (https://crypto-trade.com/member/trades/currencies) - this one work normal and shows all my trades correctly.

And yes it is finished trades - i can see them in account trade history, by not see in "my trades" table on trade pairs pages. One more latest example:
Date                         Type   Price (USD)   Amount (LTC)   Total (USD)
2014-07-23 21:33:01   Sell    8.02   10   80.2

Seems i found when this happen:
if i do "market" trades - sell or buy from orders placed by someone else (with instant executions)  this trade included in "my trades" table.
But if i place limit order and later someone buy/sell from/to my waiting order - this trades not included in "my trades" table.




This behavior is "as designed" and not a bug Smiley
I talked to cdev and maybe we're going to add another table that tracks your filled orders directly below the orderbook, if more user demand this.
But from my memory, other exchanges handle their "my trades" table exactly the same way.
No all other exchanges where such tables exist (resent user trades history on currently selected trade pair - not all exchanges have it) it include ALL user trades on selected pair not matter whether it was instant execution trade or trade transaction from pending order.
Or at least all exchanges where I am registered (and have such tables):
MintPal
Cryptsy
BTER
UpBit
Crypto-Trade (previous before this update - v.1.0)

All have this table work same as common Recent Market History table only filtered to current user + buy/sell reversed if trade was from pending order
What why i surprised by such behavior and initially thinks  this is bug.

i noticed the same bug and mentioned it to cdev in the chat, he has fixed it now and "my trades" now show every occurrence of a trade i've made in that pair, same as it how it use too.  notifications are back as well Smiley

Our wallet features are part of what makes CINNI so attractive so I want to make sure everything is working perfectly before moving on to new features.
That's exactly what almost all here are thinking, too.
Another issue is at staking. Some users reported that their wallet gets corrupted with mining transactions that never occur on the blockchain but are displayed in the wallet. Only a backuped wallet.dat can then fix the situation and restore everything. Do you think these issues may be related?

i havent had a corrupted wallet from PoS mining, but orphans are normal, and if a user has alot of eligible inputs, then the moment their wallet is open and synched they will have all those stakes firing off at once, which is too fast and causing orphans to occur.  once way to reduce it is to use -reservebalance and then set to amount that is equal to maybe 80% of wallet balance, this should stopped every input trying to stake at once.

No new features until the wallet gets fixed please.  This bug has been there and ignored for too long now in favor of quickly adding new features like EM and IRC chat.   

Please prioritize getting the wallet fixed and functional so stake+interest is returned correctly.  Some are even recommended leaving their coins on exchanges when is unsafe and places them at risk of losing their coins, the next time it gets hacked.

Maybe you can compare with BC code the relevant areas for PoS functionality.  One thing I like as well about BC is that their PoS design seems to restricts the splitting of an inital input to once which is preferable to the infinite splitting that occurs now (and with other PoS coins).  It requires stakeholders to combine their dust inputs to another address to keep it tidy and tx fees low.

Hi All,

I tried to get a pile of Cinni to an exchange from my wallet several hrs ago... However the transaction ID doesn't show up in the cinnichain nor do I see the transfer in the chain? In the wallet it lists the transaction as 0/unconfirmed.

Any suggestions to either cancel the transaction and retrieve coins or to do something else? I know the chain was down for a little earlier I think?

Thanks


Litesire and xtremebash lost coins using the CINNI wallet recently, it even caused litesire to dump out of CINNI. I have recommended it's safer to leave your coins on a exchange.

Have a look through users litesire posts to get what he did to get some of his coins back.

Thanks! was just reading back actually... hope with the backup wallet the coins reappear..

Use repairwallet command in console, after any staking and before you spend/send.  Should prevent this from occuring.  Also don't try to spend Cinni if your wallet is not synced to latest block.

to get back your coins try starting walletqt with -rescan, it should recover any missing transactions and correct the wallet to show correct balance.

i really like this style and its use of colors.  It also looks a little like a power button, its cinni time! Cheesy



Just seen this thread, is there still time to submit? Appears no end date shown.

If there is time, what are the parameters? Do you desire the same colors has shown on your website? Smiley

There no requirements to meet, its your own ideas and the community will vote for what they like in the poll thread.  Smiley
