You need to power up more SP or reduce your trading volume. In place of transaction fees, each account is limited to only broadcasting transactions at a rate proportional to SP (per week).

If you do nothing for a while your available bandwidth will recover and you will be able to broadcast again.

A claim which is completely unverifiable.

Now reread the OP here and decide for yourself whether anything they say is to be given any weight whatsoever without independent verification. I have my opinion on that of course.

Its being worked on, by replacing the old crufty code (forked from Monero in its very early days, and then largely abandoned before I picked up maintaining the coin), which has been the source of many problems, with the rebased version based on the Monero code.

There is no evidence of the 'problem being bigger' in any way.

I'm not going to rush out a major update before it is ready. It will be ready ASAP.

Steem had a hardfork on Tuesday, which went smoothly. Polo probably didn't upgrade in time and has to do it now.


STEEM can be 'powered' up which turns it into STEEM POWER, which is locked and gives you voting power plus a small amount of passive STEEM POWER earnings (I believe 1-2% per year). Turning it back into unlocked STEEM is called 'powering down' and takes 13 weeks (1/13 of the total is released as STEEM every 7 days).

When people power down, it can negatively affect the price because it means more liquid STEEM is available to sell on the market. It doesn't necessarily mean that, but there might be a connection.

@generalizethis, I edited your comments about kicking rpietilla out of the game and seizing his assets into the OP. Now my question to you is whether those assets are going to be used to compensate the players who were scammed?

Okay then, I'm not sure what the issue is if there are no deposits and actions are being taken to improve the situation.

If there are any new developments in terms of paying back the players who were scammed I'll be happy to add them to this thread. In fact your comments about his assets being seized and other improvements to the safety of the game are worthy of being noted in the OP as well. When I get a chance I will make the edit.

As for his new game, afaik this thread and his associated history should suffice to warn people not to deposit money in his next game either.

I'm not assigning fault, I'm saying it is an unsound system which enabled this scam and has done nothing to resolve the fact that people deposited into the game and were not able to withdraw from it (the proximate cause for that being rpietilla's manipulation of the game records, but the underlying cause being poor controls) other than "SFYL, game goes on!"

I'd add to that another separate incident where the database was lost, due to developer error, there were no usable recent backups, and people faced potential large trading losses from a rollback until one of the players thankfully volunteered to help the developer do what he wasn't able to do himself (recover it).

If you are inviting people to put money into that, then yes you are complicit in scamming. Play all you like, but don't invite people to deposit money into such a system before you get your house in order.


Excuse me? I have been saying for years that at least the monetary assets (whether houses and such should be on a blockchain is a different question) should be on a blockchain (and also repeatedly stated that the blockchain version of the token should not be disadvantaged relative to the in-game token, for example by not receiving dividends, so that people are not discouraged from more-safely holding the blockchain version). I was the one who originally did the research into the capabilities and suitability of various asset platforms and suggested counterparty last year when luigi created the original token.


Aside from structural reforms,  you could start by seizing and selling all of his in-game assets with the proceeds used to (likely partially) repay the players who were ripped off when it turned into a fractional reserve scam. Has that yet been done?

The game is also at fault, for failing to control its own books and accounts, and also failing to do anything to make players whole once the founder and largest stakeholder of the game manipulated the integrity of the game and ripped people off.

The best thing for anyone who hasn't already been ripped off to do is stay away until people are made whole and the structural problems are resolved (for example by putting the assets on a blockchain where they can't be arbitrarily manipulated).

If MtGox reopened tomorrow with Kerpelles 'kicked out' but the whole rest of the crew still there, would you deposit money? I know I would not.

And no, I have no interest in buying in on the cheap (I wouldn't have to buy 'back' in either, as I already have a huge collection of in-game assets).

Fix this problem for real, and maybe the game has a chance. Otherwise, its all one dirty and dangerous pile of shit and people should not deposit money.

'Defend'? Not exactly.

Point out when you are spewing nonsense, yes.

There is plenty of scamming that rpietilla has actually done. Your nonsensical delusional allegations are not helpful.


I'm denying nothing about rpietilla and his game being a fractional reserve scam and heavily in debt. People should stay away from sending or depositing money into anything he's involved with.

If you are operating a big pool (or are a big solo miner), please check your configuration, node functionality, connectivity, and logs. There have been some large reorgs that have happened in the past day. This could be caused by a large miner that keeps mining without propagating blocks (possibly due to somehow being lagged/overloaded if short on RAM given the high volume of tx in the past couple of weeks), or it could be a bug (hopefully something would show up in logs).

PM me if you have any info.

EDIT: also if you are running a big pool or miner, please make sure you running the current version 0.9.12.0.

I'd say not. It is all completely accurate, as I told you before, but continue trolling and spewing nonsense, because you will.


I "helped him" not at all (unless you consider donating to his MEW initiative, something that was done by many in the community, and a donation, I might add, which was eventually returned to me), and you have no evidence to the contrary. Please cease your false statements about what I have done or not done.


My rating of you, if I recall, has to do with spewing nonsense, which could very well be misleading if anyone were to believe you. Your posts on this thread are just one more instance of your usual behavior.


Your quote if of him denying that MEW funds were used (note as I said in any case, these were not funds donated "for Monero" they were funds donated to "MEW" which was an initiative to promote and encourage a Monero-based economy).

But quoting someone denying what you claim happened as evidence that it happened...Wow, you really are retarded.


I can tell you categorically I have never been paid by Risto for anything (other than occasional trading of in-game CK assets with him, back when he was a trustworthy trading partner and paid his debts). I doubt Smoothie has either. For that matter, I've never been paid to 'dev' any coin by anyone and in fact am a net donator to Monero development and developers (which, again, is separate from "MEW") for several thousand XMR. Stop spewing nonsense.

Quoted in case of deletion on the scammer's self-moderated thread

Please pay your debt to me as agreed, on the Bitcoin blockchain. Thanks.

And likewise any unilateral declaration of substituted terms on behalf of other creditors, no matter how many times attempted, or repeated, is completely illegitimate.

Please pay as agreed, and promptly.

I'd point out this didn't happen. The core team has always had a separate donation address which has received community donations, rpietilla has never had access to those funds, and no funds there have ever 'gone missing'.

Rpietilla's MEW was a completely separate user group or industry association or whatever you want to call it, but it was not the Monero project itself, nor were its funds (which were eventually fully accounted for afaik) donated 'for Monero'.

AFAIK, rpietilla denies that MEW funds were used for Crypto Kingdom, though if they were I'm not sure it would be improper, as the stated goals of MEW were to promote the growth of the economy, which would be consistent with trying create a successful (if it were) Monero-based game. There might have been a procedural issue with authority to spend or something, but I'd have to look back at the MEW bylaws and such, which I'm not going to do at this point.

The target is 2-3 business days but when there is a high volume of requests there can be a longer backlog.


It is an estimated post value, which is subject to change until the payout actually occurs as a result of both changes in the market value of STEEM as well as changes to voting of that post or other posts. Also, the total displayed is for all reward recipients which includes voters. The author gets at least 75% but often more like 80-90%.

Of the amount going to the author, half is paid in SBD (currently trading at >$1 so you get a bonus there) and half in powered-up STEEM.

There is an option to receive 100% Steem Power. Don't choose it currently because you won't receive any SBD and therefore miss out on the bonus from SBD being worth >$1. If you want to power up the full reward, take the SBD, trade it for STEEM on the internal market, and then power it up.

The payout is exactly 7 days after the post time.

@rodrigocsousa

All of those messages are normal. It is just a bit verbose when it comes to managing the connections with other nodes. In a p2p network connections can and will fail often as people shut down their computers, etc.

You can make sure:

Use the diff command to see block height of your node (actual top block is one lower)

use print_block followed by a number one lower to see the top block on your node. compare with block explorers. (Sometimes the block explorers lag though, if your node is this is usually okay)

As long as your node is synced with the network you can ignore all connection-related messages.

You can try shutting down your daemon, delete poolstate.bin and restart the deamon. This will clear out the mempool on your own daemon so it will accept the new tx. However, there is no guarantee that any other nodes will accept it, so for that you may have to wait 24 hours.

In practice Steem Dollars are trading at a premium ($1.70) so the rewards end up being a bit higher than the displayed number. That is not guaranteed in any way, it is just a function of the current market conditions.

The fees on AEON are currently 0.01 AEON for each transaction regardless of size. If the transaction is too large it will need to be split up and each component will incur a fee of 0.01.

This will have to change when usage increases (maybe now; we will see if the current increase in interest is sustained).
