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 !
Well lets go over a few things. 1) What os and version? 2) What wallet version? 3) Are you up to speed with the block chain? 4) Is the gui responsive? 5) Is your computer clock correct? 6) have you tried starting with -reservebalance=1000 where 1000 is 1/2 your coins? 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 ! I bet if yo uhad combined blocks your pent 4 would have been find. |

The HBN chart is starting to look like it did right before the 96000 satoshi spike. Things are picking up.
That was nothing more then Cryptsy's error. It was a few sats worth, because the order book was being reorganizing. It has happen to other coins. I wish they would remove it. I was talking about the overall price trend of the coin, I'm not sure what you are talking about. Are you saying the 96k satoshi price was an error? Yes, the Dec 22 all time high of .0009600, is true in the fact that a trade did happen. But would not have happened under normal conditions. IMO. That said, this market is much stronger now. So sustained higher prices are likely. Again IMO. |

Great good ideas, soap box or not. I know there is workforcrypto, website. But I can see snagging a site like www.angieslist.com would be very cool. Ebay has already warmed up to cryptos. So find a way to spread the word.. Regarding the college idea, I also like this. I can't find the time to oversee projects of these types, but if you feel passionate about it, see what you can do! It would require a bit of work. But 10-20 hours a week for 6 months, you could have something pretty big! |

Hey Tranz, great work as always - do you have any news about hbn like any adoption efforts, marketing etc? I am just curious. I am holding (and POS-ing) long term, I'm naturally interested in long-term value appreciation.
I have a few ideas myself, most of which will revolve around charities. However if members of the community simply try someone whom they know does business online, and speaks to them about HBN, I'm sure it can help. Anything specific you thought about? |

I was there. I started mining ltc at pennies. Very little hash at the time. It was a different world then. Fun new exciting!
BTC-e was fun. I remember a Sunday Morning I woke up and for hours all the troll box said was Gox this and Gox that. Gox in Sox and so on. It was pretty funny..

erf i tought max coin age was 30 days on hbn; even tought i hope i'll stake them, just going to keep it updated here, afterward i am going to buy more when prices drops a bit (because 26k sat, a bit high for me ^^)
Tranz thinks there may be a mistake in the initial coding of the coin that is causing age to peak at 20 days. Here is some discussion https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/4390-preparing-hbn-v14/page-7Edit: After seeing today's whacky stake activity, I am convinced that there may be no peak in age. I am seeing very very small blocks of HBN stake even less than 1HBN. The error is there. As with everything chance comes into play. But even fixing the max weight would only give the little guys a bit more chance. In any event, version 1.4 is getting pretty close. After that we will be discussing hard forks for 1.5. I see 4-5 that could be needed. |

Well, this is why hobos are so fun, and nova is so.. hard) After implementing of the rule "max 10 NVC per PoS reward" people started to divide their holdings to approx 100 NVC, thus creating many many inputs (especially some of large holders), plus PoS block likely creates 2 new inputs when generating, so the PoS diff now is so high, that, for example, I have an input with 90 days age and 1090 coin*days, and it still cannot give a birth to smth =\ Yeah, HBN is much fun, wow, such fast  I just finally downloaded my NVC, but haven't tried staking them yet... I know it will be much more difficulty. So it looks like the high PoW for HBN, made a few people leave. As the net mh/s fell to 280ish, and the difficulty is still dropping. "proof-of-work" : 6.29899596, "netmhashps" : 284.77875407, ... "proof-of-work" : 6.20105252, "netmhashps" : 309.68974165, I think this maybe where a few people jump back on. And the network again finds equilibrium, between the now ever faster PoS and the slower PoW ;-) Everything I said on the last page, I do believe is true. However I also agree that there is a large harsher coming in and out of the network. And is pushing the PoW difficulty up and then leaving, and waiting for it to drop. |

Impressive to see NVC PoS difficulty go up so nicely. He did the right things early to fix some key issues. I'd like to do some of these tings as well, but as we get deeper into the block chain with more users, hard forks become increasing difficult to pull off.
According to my quick napkin calculation. At a difficulty of 7, HBN would need 2,000 mh/s to sustain it, if it were a PoW only coin.

Its close to the same, but slightly different on HBN, as both PoS and PoW share the same block generation time of 30 seconds.
There maybe some tweaks needed to the net mh/s difficulty, it seemed to be pretty accurate when the network was not getting so many PoS blocks.

For instance, we jumped up pretty quickly from about 6 diff to mid 7 and the net mh/s went from 550 to 940.
proof-of-work" : 7.66032057,
netmhashps" : 940.02360905,
It then took a while to find the next block and even though the PoW diff went up the net mh/s went down.
proof-of-work" : 7.84127652,
netmhashps" : 783.20991173,
I believe we are around mid 500s right now.

Guys, you should do some research. PoW and PoS have their own difficulties, 1st depends on hashrate, and 2nd on stakeweight of the network.
Yes they do have their own difficulty, but they are related in some way. And the reason why I mentioned about PoS, is because I believe the hash rate reading is influenced by those spike... But I might be mistaken on that one, It might have been a bug or non related to HBN, I don't remember. Maybe Tranz can clarify if the nethashrate reading is influenced by PoS spikes or it's pure PoW. Number of blocks found over a set time plus the current difficulty is used to determine the hash rate. So when the PoW difficultly spikes due to many PoS blocks being found quickly, then it will appear as a huge influx of hash. It should settle down quickly and get back to a more correct level begin reported. If you try to simply calculate the hash rate based on PoW difficulty, this will be incorrect. |

Thanks for the reply, I used another wallet on my gaming rig and used the same wallet.dat file from my laptop and it works fine, PoS mines. Seem to be problem with my laptop and the HBN wallets? All my other wallets work fine on my laptop, Mint, TES, GRW to name a few. I am going to try copying the app/data folder from my gaming rig over to my laptop and see if that works. Thanks for all the help Tranz.  Update: I transferred all app/data to my laptop and the wallet still hangs a bunch. When it is not responding the task manger say 37% CPU usage and 308MB RAM usage. Wallet works fine on my gaming rig but not on my laptop. Yes that sounds like the issue I spoke of. You gaming rig has a much better CPU so the issue is not as prevalent. But it would show itself again after a while. In any event, this will soon no longer be an issue. On my gaming rig it reads 0% CPU usage and 315MB of memory usage, so I think it is a memory issue. My Mint wallet uses 26% CPU, 134MB memory and GRW wallet uses 7% CPU, 178MB memory. I loaded my DGC wallet and it was around 248MB memory usage. Could be a memory issue, but I do have it running on a Pi right now. Just the headless version, and I don't have a lot of memory left to use for other apps but it does work. |

You can lower the coins in reserve by lowering the number. If you have 6000 coins try putting 5000 in reserve. If the gui is good you can lower more, if not you can up it. You can also use these switches directly in the debug window/console, instead of having to shut down and restart. So you can start with 9999. Then type reservebalance 5000 in the console and see how it responds. About your second question, yes that will help. You could use the advanced coin control and send some of the coins to another address. Does not even have to be another wallet. I would send them over in 500 lots, not the entire lot at once. This way you could send some to trade and not loose coins days on the whole 6000. By using both methods, you can allow some coins to stake, and then after they are mature, send those coins to another address, in larger blocks. I have uploaded all my current work to github, ( https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels ) version 1.3.8 but I have not compiled a public release yet. This would fix your issue with no intervention needed on your part. Hoping to complete 1.4 here very soon. |

shut down your client then fix your 'addnode' list to get a different set of peers
Thanks! Can you tell me please what i should do with the addnode? Can i find a example?? anybody?  ? I wrote a guide for HBN to give more information about network connectivity. Much of this should apply to litecoin as well. Obviously you'll have to find some nodes to connect to. I'd suggest checking the offical site or the block explorer. https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/9592-hbn-trouble-shooting-guide-syncing-and-checkpoints/?p=80846 |
