So shapping up to be a bad day. No end in site for real work. And yes it looks like wallets are creating their own chains.
I am going to turn back on the checkpoint server as that seemed to help keep most wallets together.

I will try to push out the changes and a updated checkpoint as soon as possible..
I gotta get off for now. 15 hrs in front of computer.
Feeling a bit better tonight. I have a plan put together that should help out. I am going to finalize the changes tonight and put out the executable, the fork will take effect very quickly, 24 hours or less. I also believe I have a reason for the forking and a potential fix. I am hopeful this will help. I will also put out detailed instructions for those that need it. If all goes well and everyone can get on this chain and stay on it. Then we should be good go and I will contact Cryptopia and get their feedback. Please stay tuned! Here is the best chain I know of right now.

Hey everyone
So I said it yesterday, but I should say it again. I turned off the checkpoint server. So no new checkpoints right now. I wanted to eliminate as an issue, which is why it is off.
The best chain right now is:
ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED
setBestChain: new best=7adad1658be0dc68995b height=5639170 trust=87451079147069 blocktrust=16914002 date=09/06/17 21:48:11
You can check to make sure you match via the built in block explorer or getblockbynumber rpc.
I have messaged the explorer, to see if he can update at some point soon. But since it went bad once, it could again.
I should have the code done tonight and start testing tonight and up through tomorrow.
I talked to my friend at work, we thought 2 minutes and 10 seconds was a good block time. So that is what I am going to set it as.

Hey Everyone, It's me again! I got about 1/2 way done with the coding tonight for what I hope to be the last hard fork in a while.  But I believe this will give us the stable network we need. Here is what I landed on. (Subject to changes or additions) - Target Spacing goes from 30 seconds (effectively 20 seconds with PoW) to 3min 30 secs (effectively 3min with PoW).
- Lower Bound Interest rate goes from 10% to 20%. So the lowest you will ever get is 20% yearly on any stake.
- Min Stake Age goes from 10 days to 1 day. So you can get your first stake faster.
- Stake Reward Degradation goes from cutting in half every 64x difficulty to cutting in half every 128x difficulty.
- PoW will contiune on until block 6million as per 1.5.3 fork code.
I will need another 1 to 3 days to finish the code and run it on testnet. Then I plan to have only about 7 to 10 days lead time before the fork will take place. So it will be quick! Hopefully the pain will only last for a short time. Stay tuned! |

Can you share for others how you quickly jumped to the right chain?
of course not, i love em suffer for their sins. just a tip: revert to earlier chain, before the fork, restrict your wallet connections ONLY to good nodes (on default port, showing the right starting height), and sync up to the right chain. when done reopen wallet to all connections. actually it's not quick if you haven't a backup chain of no more than days ago Well the .zip on hobonickels.info is pretty new. I will keep it updated as well. Working on a bit of coding for 1.5.6 fork.. |

I will release version 1.5.5.5 here tonight or tomorrow that will disconnect bad clients. Pleas ensure you are at version least version 1.5.3+ or preferably at 1.5.5.4 (soon 1.5.5.5).
Could this be the reason? Are old versions creating their own chain? old versions get disconnected as expected. technically right now i see someone made a longer but less difficult chain which can't win, just making a mess. now it's ~800 blocks longer, perhaps initially much longer than main one. lets hope all this resolves soon. How is that possible? Isn't difficulty based on number of blocks? This is not true. The longer chain right now is the correct chain. "blocks" : 5634793, The bad chain I see is currently at 5633693 almost 1k behind.... Edit: Has anyone been connected for multiple days now that is not on the correct chain?? Every client I have connected is still on the right chain, even though they are all getting bad blocks. |

No not good. As I said I don't the for sure reason yet. But I do know this. These forks are happening when the difficulty is at the lowest. They would be very difficult if not impossible to happen if we had difficulty that was higher.
So here is my game plan.
I am going to issue an immediate fork, that I will need at least a good 5-10 of you that have good stakes to update right away. This will turn off PoW and set the block time for PoS to 3 mins. I will also update the degrading percentage to offset this, so as the difficulty goes up, the percentage the stake reward goes down will only be changed a little.
We will let this new version burn in for a few weeks and if the issue still exists, and I haven't found the under lying reason. We will.... *sigh*.... look at a coin swap....... But that is the last resort.
The fork will take some to code, hopefully I can have something ready by tomorrow or Thursday and have it take effect by Friday or Saturday. So if you are able to, please stayed tuned I will need some nodes out there running 24/7 for a bit.

Hi everyone. I am sorry to report, there does appear to be an issue with the network. There is eitehr some bug that is causing people to create their own chain, or it is an orphan attack. Basically, there are wallets that are running their own chain. For those of us that are on the correct chain, we just ignore the bad blocks. But when a new wallet comes online and it ask for blocks, if they connect to the bad wallet(s) they also begin to propagate the bad chain. You can see the block explorer has now began to get the bad chain . 5633463 3 hours 48 minutes 20.4 kB 100.901936 HBN 0.0041 Proof of Stake <-- Bad 5633462 4 hours 18 minutes 20.4 kB 96.319193 HBN 0.0041 Proof of Stake <-- Good Never should a block wait more then 1 or 2 mins, let alone almost 30. You can always tell if you are on the correct chain by running these 2 commands. getinfo
{
"version" : "v1.5.5.4-g87b0f55-V1.5",
"protocolversion" : 70009,
[u][b]"blocks" : 5634393,[/b][/u]
"timeoffset" : -18,
"moneysupply" : 58921229.54781200,
"connections" : 7,
...
}
getcheckpoint
{
"synccheckpoint" : "45a8a0fa9c5f83d50dbe39cb21bf1bbc19b4809f3d2c92ad1ecd5a5089451606",

}
},
"policy" : "strict"
}
If these 2 do not match, you might as well shut off the wallet, your chain is only making it worse. I don't know the reason yet, nor do I have a fix. I'll be investigating as much as possible. Sadly this is a very bad time, as work is very busy as is school and family. |

I get the error loading blkindex.dat message with the v.1.5.5.5 Do i realy need to resync the whole chain? Might there be an initialisation bug? It's because I dont have such a file in my AppData folder.. Currently there is a blk0001.dat and blk0002 file available. Just a bad error message. But likely something was wrong with your index. http://hobonickels.info/HBNBlockChain.zipJust grab this .zip and replace your blk0001.dat nad blk0002.dat and rename or remove your txleveldb folder and replace it with the one in the .zip i was going to mention that pre-leveldb error message, but it slipped my mind. i got it too last week. i had copied the txleveldb subfolder files over Samba networking and most of the files and folder had ownership/group set incorrectly. essentially that message was trying to say "permissions denied" to those files. so "check ownership and read/write access to files" is always good generic advice  Ahhh I will also try to remember to open then up completely as well. Didn't think of this. Thanks. |

i presume combine/split threshold are involved with staking.
but is it that they actually do or affect?
what are the usual strategies for picking an optimal value?
Best for the network is lots of small blocks that keep the chain moving and each only have a small amount of weight, so as not to cause mass block flooding. Pre version 1.5.5.5 bigger block were more necessary because the wallet was very laggy with many blocks. But not I am running wallets with thousands of 5 or lower blocks and things are still staking nicely. It is all in your own taste. The only thing you want to avoid is creating HUGE blocks that would cause you to get your stake reward truncated. |
