Let them sell. The market should be free, people make their own decisions.

Bring on the dump... I am waiting for some really cheap ECC  !

THOR trades in LTC    https://cryptorush.in/index.php?p=trading&m=THOR&b=LTC

For your 183m you would get  ~6LTC at these volume/bid prices. On a P2P sale you should get a bit more. At top bid, 7 Litesatoshi , its 13 LTC.

If you don't find another bidder, let me know and I will take them for 0.15 (BTC) Satoshi each (about 6 Litesat)

I would guess the whole crypto market will look depressed for some time to come. Many people will give up and abandon their coins as prices fall to very low levels : a mass extinction, as I have been forecasting for a few months... The ones that survive the ice-age will grow and prosper as there will be less competition.

OK, so would that be working on the old principle of 'Buy High, Sell Low'    ?

Coin is in hibernation: seed pod, or like alien egg.  It does not die, but can stay dormant until revived by some visitor in the distant future.

All PoS coins are slow startups. HBN has a lot of extra wallet features,and that is worth the wait.

Moral here : Shut the wallet down less often: leave it running as much as possible.

I have that up and running now , staking well !

One comment: The Coin Control time seems to be in UTC , whereas Transaction times are set to local clock. Is that a deliberate feature ?

A number of coins have dealt with the OpenSSL issue already.

Does it mean that ECC does not need to upgrade the wallet yet ?  A number of useful improvements can be made to the wallet at some time in the future.

Exciting news, then !   
Your wallet work is particularly impressive: that would have been a daunting task for some developers.


I have been a supporter (and holder) of a number of PoS coins over some time, and have watched them develop (for better and worse in some cases) with interest. We will no doubt get a lot of varying viewpoints in the run-up to hard forks.

OK, thanks for the info. .. Maybe it is a silly question, but this got me wondering:

If I have the same addresses in wallets open on different machines at the same time, would the faster CPU get all the stake ? .. or would there be any other curious consequences ?

Thanks for the response: Now I seem to have solved the issues, by creating a fresh instal on a different machine. I believe the CPU performance may be the issue on other machines.  All are Win7, 1.3.1, other things check out of course (except res. bal which I didn't try)

I was using an AMD Athlon, then an alternative, and now an Athlon 2 Quad Core, but I now realise that the alternative machine had only an old Pentium 4 !

I have about 40 QT wallets for different coins, but mostly they are installed on better machines . Now I will make sure HBN runs on something suitable.

Incidentally it might be instructive to note that the Pentium 4 seemed to cope well until just a few weeks ago.

Just a consequence of having 14 computers kicking around over 10 years, and losing track of the specs. and upgrades !

Recommend using the subtext 'Energy Conservation Coin' in campaigns. Letters alone are harder for people to remember, and get confused with other Cryptos.

The lack of a name may be holding this coin back at present.  I think it would be a good idea to insert a subtext/title like  'EC Coin - The E-Commerce, Energy Conservation Cryptocoin'

That subtext does represent the properties of the coin.

I have some different minting problems (all stakes are now rejected) as per my posts in this thread....I am not sure if any of the other problems are related...Confused !

I had a look at Coin Control. as there are only 266 blocks in the wallet, I would guess combining will not help ?

The wallet is no longer updating the transaction list. The last one was on 6 April. Since then stake has showed up as incoming, with the relevant mother block being transferred to the unconfirmed balance briefly, before being transferred back and the stake lost: now without any record of that showing in the transaction list.

This is 1.3.6 , with a fresh download of the blockchain (which took 28 hours)

Atomic Trade has no volume. Total order book on the buy side is 0.05 BTC atm. Mintpal is the serious exchange, there should be a link to there at least.

Thanks.. I haven't used coin control.. I will have a look at it.

I have been holding HBN for over 6 months now, and the staking was working quite well (always a few orphans while synching up) until about a week ago. Since then my wallet has attempted to stake over 40 blocks, with only one having been accepted on the network. I noticed that there was frequently one confirmation, with the stake block being transferred into unconfirmed, only to be transferred out again, and the stake lost, rather strange.

I was using Windows QT 1.3.0, then 1.3.1, and have also tried 1.3.6 .. Synching seems very slow as well (taken 28 hours to download the whole blockchain). I am opening the wallet for long periods, but shut down every now and then (at least once a day).

Any suggestions welcomed !

That is true.
