Staking has become very resource intensive for me.   I think because too few people are staking now. 

I have been staking for a while and was probably a core part of the network (usually have about 16 connections)....but now it seems my wallet tries to solve blocks all the time causing 100% CPU load, all the time.   My VPS provider eventually kills my node for using too much CPU.

Staking now seems to use as much energy as POW mining  Sad

Anyone else having this issue?    I get much more coins than I would expect....but given UVCs current market value of $0 I can't justify 100% CPU usage 24x7 to keep staking...

Maybe I'll pick up a raspberry pi where  100%cpu will be cheap...but for now I guess my node will be going dark...

Partially fixed this by combining inputs:    I had over 40,000 inputs from staking for these past months.    That is why it was staking every second and using 100%cpu.   I moved the funds around to get everything into 1 input, so it is rarely staking now.       However, it is still using 40-50% CPU which seems like a bug because it is not trying to solve any blocks for at least 12 more hours....not sure what it is doing.   lock the wallet and it uses 0.3%CPU.   Other coins I stake like $arch use very little CPU when in between stakes.    But at least we are down from 100%cpu to 45%cpu...

mac wallet is fucked up

My mac wallet fully synced...but had to remove the settings.   @Motor_Licker try this from a terminal:

bash-3.2$ cd Library/Application\ Support/Archcoin/
bash-3.2$ cp wallet.dat ~
bash-3.2$ rm *
bash-3.2$ cp ~/wallet.dat .


didn't work. command not found.

haha..that was a terminal session...try the commands without the bash prompt.

NOTE run the commands one at a time and make sure they are successfull...cause of the 'cd' doesn't work...don't do the rm!

cd Library/Application\ Support/Archcoin/
cp wallet.dat ~
rm *
cp ~/wallet.dat .

Bittrex announced Universitycoin will be delisted on July 11th.   They have asked the university devs to contact them to prevent delisting.

Please contact Bittrex ASAP.    This is the best alt coin exchange and they will keep coins with developer involvement, so please contact them ASAP and show them UVC lives on!!!

I'll let our Application Developer Mr. Wanda explain the changes that he has made. But most apparently you will see a total of all of your wallets.

We apologize for not being able to so more in that week or so but we do have full time jobs and social lives. I still am devoting around 2 hours a day to this currency. Along with the work I am also doing research in order to best give the community what it wants.

The point of this release was not to wow you all with miraculous changes, but to foster your confidence that we indeed have control of the code and have the ability to make changes over time.

You will see more to come.

-Alec

Thank you Alec for resurrecting UVC from certain death.    Do you guys need help building a mac wallet?   If so I could set up a dev env this weekend and start contributing mac builds.   

I was thinking of pulling my coins from the exchange to stake and noticed we have no mac wallet.    I would think most students have macs too.     

Mahalo nui,

Not sure why, but the poll is not letting me vote...

I like #5, then my second is #1.
