Hi again everyone,

thanks for all of your answers!

Any thoughts on why the blockchain is not staking any more coins, considering that, as I said above, I am the third biggest holder of coins in one single transaction?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for all of your answers, I feel closer to understanding the problem. Yet something still does not add up. Because I am the second largest coin holder (I actually have the coins in ONE single transaction to add more weight on the network) yet I still can't stake. I used to stake until about 10 days ago, then suddendly it stopped when the blockchain syncing stopped as I said previously.

My current getstakingstatus is

{
    "validtime" : true,
    "haveconnections" : true,
    "walletunlocked" : true,
    "mintablecoins" : true,
    "enoughcoins" : true,
    "mnsync" : false
}

Thanks again for your help!

Sorry, I mistyped. I did actually use addnode= , in fact as I said at the time the blockchain gets stuck I do see the peers still connected, they just stop syncing.

Thanks everyone for the answers!

However, I forgot to mention that both of the coins that I am experimenting with are 100% POS, so there is no hardware mining involved in it.

So, in view of this, what else could cause, in your opinion, that the blockchain gets totally stuck?

@mrprep sorry I posted this in the wrong place (can this topic be deleted please)

sorry moderators, I just relized I posted it in the wrong forum by accident, you can delete this thread as I have posted it in the right forum.

Hi,

As I have a few free VPS servers available and I like researching the crypto industry, I am looking into several cryptocoins that have now been totally delisted from all exchanges.

These coins still have some nodes up and running (some of which might be the devs own nodes possibly).

I would like to keep the blockchain going, just in case there is a community takeover of the project like it has happened in a few cases.

Before launching these nodes, I make sure that in the conf files I have the addnodes= lines pointing to my own nodes as well as those that are still online that might belong to the devs.

However, blockchain syncing for my nodes stops at a specific block (the same block across all the nodes) and does not get past this hurdle.

I can see the peers still being connected at this point, but syncing stops for all of the nodes at exactly the same block and point in time.

I have tried deleting peers.dat, deleting all files except wallet.dat and the .conf with the addnodes, reindexing… all to no avail.

Now I am quite puzzled…. why would syncing stop as if “a central reference server” was missing if the blockchain is supposed to be fully decentralized?

Also, if I am correct in thinking that some of the few nodes that are not owned by me belong to the devs, why would they intentionally leave nodes running on a dead coin?

I would be grateful if I could have the comments from some blockchain experts regarding this issue.

Many thanks!

There are many masternode (mn) altcoins!

Can a wallet function as a legitimate mn if it is pruning the blockchain?

(Answers to this question may apply to any mn coin or all in general!)

Yo,

Anyone who is still using Helmin (trading on https://crex24.com/exchange/HLMN-BTC and there are still about 234 masternodes) listen up

I'm a node.js JavaScript developer and I am looking to learn C++ by working on a coin

I want to revive this coin with:

- new features ((original POW) + POS + lightning)
- add it to two additional exchanges
- encourage more masternodes as (one click hosting solutions - 18p per day) hostingstudio.eu masternodes
- develop in-wallet earning/spending layer 2 services (a store to buy sell digital / non-digital listings and contracts)

II have a very interesting plan to allow proof of service without extensive processing power (no mining)

I liked this coin and I want to take over a permanent lead development role

Thanks

Benz

If you can convince around 30-40 people to join (even better if you can convince some merchants to start accepting) the coin community then you start receiving a monthly wage
  Check it out!

https://hostingstudio.eu has masternode installations that are done from the web browser so you don't even need to be technical or do any learning to set it up

On passive income:

I'm trying https://ducatusbusiness.com as it requires us to actively help get businesses to agree to accept it in real world shops so the coin IMHO will inevitably become liquid and popular.. I't is about 2 cent now so it is cheap!

If zero-point energy technology was released what wound happen to bitcoin mining? would it need to be proof of stake instead of proof of work?

Is there any alternative way for a new currency to get a market price value other than become listed on one/or more exchange(s)?

I'm creating a crypto platform for getting higher rating on google > methodise.me

we are at the feet of a massive climb that has just retraced in 2018! the fed has never been audited before (how many missing trillions are they responsible for?!)

Please see the graphic (It is hard to post as a newbie and keep posting regularly when working hard in the background and always go back to being newbie status after being on here since 2014 ... I am not a newbie!! ffsake demoting users who have no time to post every day is really hard to keep up with!) and it makes me look un-trustworthy #thanks!

What do you think of this?

I want to make a chart that shows a directional prediction of BTC/USD

left is value going to BTC and right is value going to USD

the chart is always pointing up because (to the moon psychology!)

the prediction will show forecast for the next few hours and new ticks will be over lade until the timer runs out

then a screen shot will be taken to show if the prediction was a correct forecast and it will go into a catalog of previous forecasts

and the next forecast starts and the process repeats.

the prediction will be made from center of gravity indicators measuring different levels while the forecast will calculate each levels curve

then the levels will all be added together and the forecast will be glued to the price at the time of the market forecast snapshot

while the forecast completes the timer will countdown and the new ticks will be appended on the chart in real time!
