i'm not complaining, don't need any profit from this, it's for fun.
well since you're sure small stakes are bad for the moment,
i'll do exactly that with remaining coins, split into a myriad tx, to test the network.
that will take time........
Well you are 100% free to do as you see fit! But small stakes really don't bother the network, it just drives inflation down for which I am grateful: low inflation means less coins to sell means price drop is less likely. And if you are troubled by getting a lot of orphans, if you have the chance, try staking at a bad ass fast computer and you find your chance of getting orphans dropping significantly. But then again, why bother. Orphans are no problem, you lose nothing, the coin block will stake again until it's accepted by the network. |

all they have to do is keep a minimum of 5000 or 6000 HBN per Block, and it fixes the orphan issue.
and if they do the opposite despite all your speeches, what's then ? that doesn't seem like code which "take care of itself forever" The orphans are not a problem in any way. Just hit 'repair wallet' now and then, wait a couple of minutes and all of them are gone. Actually, the network runs without any problem for an incredible amount of time. Yes, it's resource hungry and somewhat sluggish but 100% reliable even without Tranz interfering. And please stake any amount you like. High POS-diff gets you less coins but also less inflation. It's in perfect balance. Have a great day. |

Any news from Tranz? HBN need some improvements if we want to be on a bigger exchange.
So what do you have in mind? |

Getting a runtime error when trying to open my wallet then the wallet crashes. I just copied the bootstrap from June 28th 2015 but the wallet will not get any connections. I there a more recent bootstap? This one still need to sync 297 days.  I see the link at the top of the page, doh! None of my backups will load either, RIP 50K HBN in the blockchain either. You can try this one as well: http://www.mediafire.com/download/yfnp7ubv35h869z/HoboNickels1510_20160322.rarIt's from March 22. good luck! |

This feature doesn't need to be added because it's already there.
At your console prompt type: 'splitthreshold 1000' and blocks won't split any more when they are smaller than 1000.
You can choose any threshold you like as long as it is smaller then the total amount you own on that address divided by 500
So in order to use 1000 as a splitthreshold you need at least 500x1000= 500.000 HBN
As you understand, this is a perk for people who own a lot of HBN because the big wallets provide most of the safety for the HBN blockchain.
So everyone who is tired of manually combining, buy more HBN and let it handle itself. It's not that HBN is very expensive right now..
BTW, the same thing goes for 'combinethreshold 1000' to combine smaller blocks when they stake. This one goes as far as your stash divided by 250.
Cheers!
wow, TIL. Do I need to enter this command every time I open the wallet? Yep, you have. I never close my wallet providing some proper stake weight to secure the chain. And also because I am lazy... If it doesn't work, type 'help' in the console and copy it from there to make sure you got it right I use wallet version 1.5.0.0 on Ubuntu linux. There are no such commands. Have I to use version 1.5.1.0 for this? Yes, I think you so try 1.5.1.0 to get it to work |

nice coin, but it seems impossible to sync without bootstrap...
Yes, the coin could use some maintenance, but nobody wants to do it. The only thing that needs to happen is HBN users quit microstaking small amounts which is what is killing the sync with orphans. If everyone would just use coin control, to correct the orphan issue the network would run smoothly. Combine your coins into blocks of a minimum of 5000 or 6000 HBN per Block and sync will return to normal.  A great feature to add would be auto combine.

would you guys be interested in a marketmaker?
Long time no see, and sure, could you outline the ins and outs? |

is the CAP coin supply limited or its actually unlimited?
It's unlimited like many other coins. CAP inflation will get lower and lower over time though, that's because the daily amount of CAP generated by either POS or POW won't rise much over time. Added to that is the POS percentage which will gradually decrease over time as more and more coins are going to stake and a maximum POS reward of 1000 coins. |

Well, it would be nice if the wallet would use a little less resources for staking. I use a fairly strong laptop to run btc-core, cap and hbn at the same time and it's pretty much all it can handle.
Another thing worth mentioning is the amount of orphans if have staking: About 30% of what is staked turns out to be an orphan.
When I move my wallet to my dab ass i7 desktop, the percentage drops below 5%. Another indication the hbn wallet is very dependent on resources.
All in all, I am very impressed it works so reliably after about 3 years. But if someone would ask, I'd say lighter staking would be a great improvement. The fact that the chain is pretty big doesn't bother me at all. That's easily solved with a bootstrap of which recent ones are always available.
Cheers!

so Tranz left the train ?
No, he is just busy with many other things. He has said so more than once. Be assured that if there are substantial problems, he'll be there to help. |

I think getting on Poloniex would be better.
maybe but going on yobit first is not a bad idea I think for low volume coins it is actually a detriment to be on too many exchanges as it just spreads that low volume around which makes the volume at one exchange look even worse. Yobit is not any improvement over Cryptopia so I think that 0.5BTC would be wasted. You are thinking that there is only a limited number of users, and they will make a choice of Cryptopia or Yobit. Each exchange caters to a different demographic and Language , For example : Cryptopia is more favorable to English Speakers, Where as Yobit is more favorable to Native Russian & Chinese Speakers. Basically you are selling a product (HBN) , sticking with only 1 exchange (Even Thru Cryptopia is a Great Exchange) , is like only selling your product on only 1 side of a street and ignoring the other side. You sell on Both Sides and Double your Customer Base.  IMO, go with the .1 BTC not the .5 BTC and just make sure to post the exchange update to coinmarketcap and update the OP. Plus you always want more than 1 exchange, for the times when the wallets need maintenance. I wonder how many new people could get interested in HBN by introducing a new exchange. I'd say not many unless you have a trade volume high enough to end up somewhere in the top ten of the traded pairs on that exchange. That's why I don't think It will help much. Better keep all trading focused. (And make it to the second best traded pair today on Cryptopia) |

I wonder if the community is willing to make a fund raiser of 0.5BTC for YObit.
here's how it works over there:
To add a new coin to Yobit please you need to fill out the form below.
Payment method: YobiCode
Listing type:
• Free - 0.00 btc - no guarantee
• Premium - 0.1 btc - 2 business day
• Exclusive - 0.5 btc - 1 business day + mail alert to all users
-
0.5btc is very good publicity for (CAP) bottlecaps.
what are you guys thinking about this? because we are not going anywhere right now.
I think we're doing just fine on Cryptopia. |

Why do so many think a high pos diff is such a big deal? I think it’s the only instrument TEK has against out of control inflation. Forget about the micro stakers. They are not the problem. Inflation is, if you look a little further down the road...
If you have been following this, its not the fact that diff is high that is the problem. If diff were responding to natural market conditions, the coin would be doing exactly as it is supposed to. The problem is that folk(s) are artificially rising difficulty, and dropping diff when they want to stake. This give them, the micro-stakers, an unfair advantage. We goal is to even the playing field, not necessarily raise the stake percentage. I don’t believe anyone who has thought it through is in favor of having the diff so low that we experience runaway inflation due to coin saturation. Nor are we interested in have a select few able to stake at high rates while the rest of us suck hind tit. The coin is awesome, we have acknowledged that there is a problem, and wish to see it addressed. As Biomech is so fond of saying, TEK is an old coin. I agree it has been around and has stood the test of time. It is time to fix any limitations it may have and move into the next phase of it’s existence. I have but I don't think along the same lines. I don't think it's artificial and I do think these are exactly natural market conditions: everyone trying to make the most of it. There's really nothing unfair about it. Just do the same if you think it's beneficiary. You would certainly help limit inflation that way and I don't think many people will complain about that. |

Every shitcoin in the universe is tenfolding now. Meanwhile HBN is at an ATL. Poloniex seems to get coins into attention a lot, I don't want to sound pessimistic, but that might be the last hope. But without active development, I don't think there will be many new investors and the volume would stagger, leading to a removal.
I like HBN more than any other coin. But that's just me. Or maybe nostalgia. I don't know. Anyway don't get too pessimistic. It's only crypto and eventually you can always sell them and buy some other coin. May take a little while but patience will get you anywhere. |
