Hi Tranz, thanks it worked! It took forever to re-download the blockchain and it takes a long time for the wallet to load but it loads fine now....thanks again. Is there any way to deal with the large size blockchain? I understand that this will be an issue for all coins at some point.
Good to hear. Yes the block chain will grow by about 1 - 2 gig each year. Some type of compression my help. Also as it gets much bigger we will likely offer a bootstrap download file to help speed up the process. |

I zipped up everything that you mentioned but the wallet for you, I see that it is over 300 MB even after zipping it up so I can't email it to you. Where can I put it for you? Lmk.
You could try one of those free upload sites like http://www.fileswap.com/or http://www.filedropper.com/PM sent. Thanks. I was able to re-create the error. It stems from corruption of the index. Which is kept in files in the %appdata%\HoboNickels\txleveldb directory. The quickest fix was to remove or rename the %appdata%\HoboNickels\txleveldb directory. Then start the client with -loadblock=%appdata%\HoboNickels\blk0001.dat This will re-index the blocks again. Takes a bit of time, but faster then using the network. The newest BTC client 8.5+ has an option -reindex which does approx the same thing. I would like to add this into HBN, but it will require a substantial amount of work, so it won't be for a while. Hi Tranz, Can you please explain how to do this; "Then start the client with -loadblock=%appdata%\HoboNickels\blk0001.dat" I am getting the assertion failed error as well and every time I resync the folder txleveldb, the error returns. Please help. I'm not sure what to do and I can't open my wallet...I'm running 1.3.6 thanks I think there is an issue with a bad client on the network feeding bad blocks, and causing this. I had the issue myself when starting up fresh. Please try this. #1 make sure you have a backup of your wallet. Good idea to use the export wallet feature as well. #2 remove block001.dat and the leveldb directory, from your appdata directory #3 replace your peers.dat with this one. ( http://www.fileswap.com/dl/d6lOaTzYz/ ) #4 start up the client. Please let me know if that helps. |

hey guys i was wondering if it was possible to mint 1 hbn ^^ i bought it thanks to btc faucets but i'm afraid it might be too low to mint itself
I'm trying this as well.. It should work. But it could take some time. It would be like trying to solve a block solo mining with 50kh/s on the HBN network. After months of trying you might get one. Let us know how it goes.. |

Hey Tranz, do you have a rough idea of when the 1.4 wallet (or whatever the next version is, which will include the features you have been talking about recently) will be officially (not beta) released? Just curious, no rush.
My estimates for 1.4 final should be in Q2. Personally I think about 30 more days. But if they are anything like the last 30 days(crazy), might be a tad longer. |

Thanks! Good luck on the pool. |

It seems that coinchoose.com is on the wrong chain too (or likely takes data form the wrong block explorer), displaying wrong profitability atm.
Thanks. I have replied to his thread. |

Hi Sal, long time no type. It seem your HBN daemon is reporting an incorrect block. If you are on version 1.2 you will need to upgrade to version 1.3. As the level db change, has now forced off old Berkly's db clients.
If there is anything I can do to assist you please let me know.
Thanks.

When I PoS mine PHS, I use Alchemist to get this information. Its a pretty nice tool but I believe its closed source. Perhaps something similar can be put together for hobonickels to hold us over in the mean time?
I have seen that, seems cool something to keep in mind. Having the source code would be really helpful!  |

Yes hopefully they can get on the right chain, soon. The move from 1.2 to 1.3 does require re-index, so it can take a bit of time.

If you haven't upgraded to version 1.3+ you may want to. There are some old clients on 1.2, and they have been forked off. I have issued alerts to them. You may want to hold transfers to Cryptsy's as they are on the old version. If you are on 1.3+ and match what you see on coinwarz.com ( http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency/coins/hobonickels ) or our abe explorers ( http://hbn.blockx.info/get/chain/HoboNickels ) you are fine. I will give the coast clear to Crypty's when I see it is back on the right track. |

can someone please update the mac wallet once it is closed by the red circle not quitting the wallet it won't come up unless you quit it and restart it
it should have a show/hide when you right click on the wallet icon to bring it up like the rest of the mac wallets.
Thanks
ryan. I will have a look as soon as I can. I think unick was trying to get it compiled for OSX, does anyone have a good set of instructions? |

@Tranz, May I suggest an enhancement in the new wallet to where it will show the total dollar amount of your total balance. Maybe use crypsty's price or coinmarketcap.com to determine the value.
My first response was to be no. However considering resent IRS guidelines, it could be very useful to have a FIAT/COIN cost in the wallet, current and at time of mining. Won't be anytime soon, maybe HBN 2.0 |

Is this FIFO, do wash rules apply??
It is stupid to think you have to pay taxes on mining and then pay taxes again on use(assume btc is up) which you probably already paid taxes on the goods anyway.
So triple taxation for mining and using btc?
This is a shot directly at btc. Make is so unfriendly no one can possibly use it.
The triple taxation argument is a strawman. It's no different than 1) paying taxes on your salary, 2) using that salary to make money in the stock market and paying taxes on the gains, and 3) spending that money and paying sales tax on what you buy. The idea that I generate a bit of tax bookkeeping every time I buy a bitcoin latte *is* rather annoying. What I would do personally in that situation, rather than keeping track of and reporting each individual transaction, is to total them up on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, and report as an aggregate transaction: Spent a total of 2 BTC for 40 dinners worth a total of $1200. Cost basis of the 2 BTC was $900, so a net taxable gain of $300. A BTC wallet app could easily keep track of it. Perhaps strawman, but unless I get do deduct the cost of mining from the equation, it is unfair to be sure. Not to mention quite difficult to track. Also I don't think you can simply roll up your you liability into anything other then per transaction. The only way I know you can roll up stock transactions is if you have a broker license. Otherwise every sale must be meet with the purchase. |

If bitcoin is a property and not a currency, it means that holders will not have to pay mark to market gains on unrealized profits at the end of each tax year.
This is a really big deal.
Really it's not much better though. Now you must keep perfect records, of incoming and outgoing transactions and the price points of each of those. The complicates things so much that any thought of bitcoin becoming a household usage are thrown out the window. Who is going to want to sit down and try figure out if they have capital gains/losses, on every transaction? I'm sure wash rules apply as well.. |

Looks great.  Thanks unick! |

Yes there is very little chance that HBN will be changed to another algo. It would be a pretty hard, hard fork to pull off.
