Which isn't going to help with Bottlecaps.

From memory the relevant switches in Bottlecaps are splitthreshold and combinethreshold.
The limits of these depend on where they are set, which is slightly mad.
In the .conf or command line the max is (IIRC) 200/400 whilst via the RPC is walletbalance/500 and walletbalance/250 respectively.
So to set these to maximum you would need to type into the debug window,

splitthreshold 9999999999

and

combinethreshold 9999999999

And repeat every time you restart the wallet. Alternatively you could have a script that sends the RPC commands at start up.

Close wallet.
Delete file Peers.dat

Edit or create growthcoin.conf;
   remove any existing lines begining with addnode=
   Add the following lines;

addnode=93.40.224.220:17624
addnode=128.199.191.230:17177
addnode=130.204.209.95:17177
addnode=173.246.10.52:17177
addnode=203.20.114.252:17177
addnode=188.226.240.91:38330
addnode=51.254.45.117:39910
addnode=184.164.129.202:62594

Save growthcoin.conf, restart wallet and let it sync, at time of writing I see arround 2194105 blocks.
 

Is there a link for the bootstrap? I'm currently stuck at around march 2016.

Is anyone maintaining http://phs.blockx.info/  ... seems to have been stuck for over a month now... again.

...And now in the top ten.

Bter haven't accepted CENT deposits since December last year.

I'd suggest placeholders for images and the coin name during testing followed by, or concurrent with, a community judged competition for the theming, images, icons and naming with a prize funded by donations for the release version. All of which would help raise awareness that Pennies is both being actively developed and is evolving.

Backup your wallet.dat just in case...
Then from a command prompt try running: piggybank -salvagewallet

Yes... but why not have both.

And you've been doing a great job. Thank you.


One of the barriers to CENT acceptance on new exchanges is going to be its indivisibility. With this second currency hanging of the Pennies chain why not just make one CENT 1/100000000 of the new coin? This way we gain the best of both worlds, a relatively scarce coin with ~500K coins that fits the standard 8 decimal places of other currencies plus CENT as it is. Any exchange accepting the new coin doesn't have to recode to work around Pennies indivisibility and with its higher value the coin would be able to trade directly on BTC markets without relying on XPM or DOGE. 


All good ideas.

5. Significantly increase the POS reward. As it stands the current Pennies interest rate is far too low to make it worthwhile even opening the wallet, let alone running a full node and its current ultra low stake reward was just a kneejerk reaction to the prior stake bug. Given that there would be only initially be ~500K coins in the new market cap I would think an absolute minimum of 10% would be a reasonable start. Effectively Pennies rides on the coat tails of the new coin.

Adding an entry for PHS at https://www.swisscex.com/voting could be a good idea.

I queried this with them twice last time they closed the Pennies market; the support requests were closed without answer.
This time around even if I had the patience to deal with their artificial 10e6 limit it's still taking 48 hours for a withdrawal to move from pending to complete and regardless, it still looks like Cryptsy are off on their own fork again. 


Trying to take a pragmatic approach to it, but if can possibly avoid using Cryptsy then I do so.

Given that the 'Dev' appears to be AWOL does anybody understand what the problems are that Cryptsy and presumably now SwissCEX claim to be suffering under?
Synchronizing, (and remaining in sync) with the block explorer doesn't really seem to have been a problem for a long time.... unless you're Cryptsy. The wallet uses excessive CPU time when it's POS minting over large numbers of transactions and causes an almost constant reorganization of the blockchain head but surely for an exchange this can be solved by just compiling the daemon with the POS minting thread commented out. The non-divisibility of the coin might cause some issues but that's down to the quality of implementation of the exchanges trade engines etc... The problem with high value transactions is well known and must be simple to workaround, again QoI. Even if after that should the coin still need nursemaiding I would have thought the popularity of it would have made it worthwhile, if nothing else it's bringing additional funds onto its paired markets. What am I missing?

altexplorer.info and pennies.kicks-ass.net would appear to be on the same chain and that it's just Cryptsy that is off on their own fork; it doesn't look like they have any intention of synchronising with the rest of the world as they have had plenty of time to do so.

The phrase '...about as far as I could throw them' always seems to come to mind when speaking of Cryptsy these days.

Had this from Swisscex support about half an hour ago;

"Since our CENT wallet is brandnew the blockchain isn't still up to date. (Currently at 21000) As soon the wallet is updated your transactions will arrive a lot faster."

Excellent, really good to see some innovative coding gong on with PHS.

Every POS coin I have had has ended up choking on it's own dust causing 100% CPU usage after just a few months with the only fix (at least that I'm aware of) being to send to a new wallet; with the side effects of both losing stake and paying fees in the process.

But if the value of 1 CENT is less than 1e-8 XPM then it can longer be traded (unless Cryptsy changes the way the CENT/XPM market works) making the coin completely worthless, whilst reducing the total number of CENT would at least allow the coin to continue being traded without changing its overall value.
