I updated hobonickels.info to make links correct. Not to much change to front page content. Does anyone want to give it some time to check it over make sure I didn't miss anything?
Also does anyone want to work on the wiki or news section? I will add a few news posts here soon, and maybe to the wiki, but it is very low priority. If others want to contribute just let me know. It is a private wiki page due to bots! But I can add others.
Thanks!

switching to 1.5.3 is a kind of vote ? if majority stays with 1.5.1 including cryptopia and fairglu's explorer they will be on diffrent chain than 1.5.3ers after mentioned blocks?
Yes and No. Those on anything less then 1.5.3 should stay on the same fork as 1.5.3 unless they turn off Check Pointing. The worse case is they accept a bunch of invalid blocks and when a valid block comes in, all of their invalid blocks will turn in orphans and the wallet will re-organize the chain to the 1.5.3 version. The Checkpoint sever will be running 1.5.3 well before the cut off block, and I will send alerts to the other older versions letting them know to upgrade or expect issues. Really if 30% of wallets upgrade we should be fine. |

No forks. I have wallets running all versions of 1.5 and all are good to go. However I will say the network was very very busy this morning with a ton of PoS and PoW blocks. This caused many wallets to lag while they processed the blocks. Also some, including two of mine, and sounds like yours, may have missed a block in the middle of that, and this caused a bunch of orphan blocks to come into your wallet. Until you were able to get that missing block, you were behind. All of mine resolved themselves without having to do much more then just wait it out.
You can try to set the reserve balance high and basically turn off staking for a bit till you can get caught up. Or you may need a quick wallet restart.
This further validates my notion to turn off PoW at block 6.0 million.
Further more I think we need at least 1 more fork to put block time to 90 seconds and allow blocks to stake starting at 1 day old. I think both of these will allow the network and wallets to run much smoother. We will see how things go after block 5.6million which will put the brakes on PoW, not stop it, but slow it down. Then how things are at 6.0million when PoW is turned of.
Hopefully by that time I should have a much more efficient staking algo that will lower wallet lag and decrease CPU, which will help your wallet and the network run a lot smoother.

Thank you very much! What about master nodes? They revived projects like Chaincoin to previously unwitnessed popularity. Could something like that apply to HBN?
Don't know too much about Master Nodes. What can you tell me about them, what benefit do they have? |

Maybe the lack of miners is due to problems with the network and nobody reporting them? I tried to solo mine and hit a dozen of blocks but all of them get rejected. Tested with different miners and settings, opening ports etc. Mining other coins is fine though. So i guess the problem is not on my end.  It is fixed in ver 1.5.3.0. You can get that version here: https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/releases/tag/1.5.3.0Required before block 5.6 million. |

Here is what I have come up with. I will be doing more testing, so might be some tweaks but this should be pretty solid. https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/commit/e14a28cce0967110327f758066c11922af94aa5e Proof of Work Limits
From Block 5.6m PoW will only be accepted after a Stake block, or 10minutes with no block.
From Block 6.0m PoW will only be accepted after 10 mins with no block.
Bump to version 1.5.3.0 and update Proto Version, will send alerts.
Bump back down the DB version , as LevelDB1.9 "should" work fine as a drop in with LevelDB 1.7 Let me know your feedback if you have it. Will the increase in time between PoW blocks have a corresponding increase in the PoW block reward? e.g., Before Block 5.6m Ming the Miner would have the opportunity to mine X blocks per 24 hours and after Block 6.0m he would get Y per 24 hours... No, it may have the opposite effect. With no PoW, the PoS will be the only thing moving the chain, so the difficulty should go up a bit. Taking down the reward a bit. Orphans should be lower though. |

First of all, Tranz, I really respect you. But 5-6 million blocks is very, very much for computer resources, especially if you have a lot of POS coins.
Why not make a hardfork with a new blockchain? We need to do the simplest swap scheme. For example, the user downloads a new wallet v.2, replaces the v.2 wallet.dat file with old v.1 wallet.dat file, and starts working with the new blockchain. I remember, so did in the Syscoin project.
Thus, even if someone misses the swap process, he will never lose his share. And this can be done every 2-3 years.
Please consider my proposal.
Let's call this plan D. If all attempts at lowering memory and CPU fail. Then I won't discount the idea completely. But for now it is only a fleeting thought in my mind. Thank, amazing
I vote for "stake for charity" limit removal for above 50%
not critical, obviously
Yes, I will be doing this in final version 1.6 release. |

speaking the tweaks.
I found it hell difficult to sent some bigger amount to other adress while want to send recently staked blocks in amount which is stakeable under the treshold .
Use case: would like to send 150k to someone in 5k block of most fresh coinst . currently it takes ages to do so.
first ... wallet is ugly laggy.
than coincontrol sort is laggy.
once first operation is done and you go back to coin control there is no way it remembers your filter and position of collumns you made to make your selection simplier...
at the end i dont mind its the price of this lovely coin to handle ... but ..
if i check to send 150k and just say : send in 5k out of newest blocks and everything happens in one go... it would be great
Noted and I agree. Part of the laggyness also comes from flash mining and part from staking. I like how PressTab did the split via HyperStake. I will look to implement that as well! Lots to do..
Why not combine point 2) and 3) ??
I would set min PoW difficulty to 5 because the mining hardware power increased over the recent years.
You also could check a faster PoW difficulty adjustment.
If more than 2 PoW coins were created the last 30 seconds then adjust the new difficulty while multiplying it by the to much created coins.
I am actually coding up combining 1 and 3. At block 5.7 million every PoW must only come after a PoS block. Or if no block is found in 10 minutes. At block 6.0 million only if no block is found after 10 mins. |

Would be great to have a POS coin working nicely on ultra low cost hardware RPi etc.
I know people did this in the early days with HBN but .... works anymore?
As an aside what thoughts on linking the wallet / address online time with minting/mining?
I believe CLAM has a requirement to be active on the network for x period as well as have coin age.
Can that also be applied to POW? If so it could curtail flash mining somehow?
Agreed. I hope to be back on the Pi someday. Sounds like Proof of Connection to me. Sounds cool, but probably more complicated then needed. Here is a very simple code to ensure only 1 PoW for every 1 PoS.
if ( IsProofOfWork() && nHeight > POW_LIMIT_HEIGHT) )
{
if ( pindexPrev->IsProofOfWork())
return error("AcceptBlock() : PoW must come afer PoS only");
}

I'd ask a slightly different question.
How many people keep their wallets offline until stake time due to cpu / memory issues?
If that is the root cause of low difficulty, look to repair the flaw and the average difficulty will go up when all wallets are online and chugging.
yeah I do say that as one of the guilty. Also wish I was not.
Otherwise, yeah, probably kill POW but care with network security.
This is good point. CPU will be address along with this Fork. Will memory? Hopefully, but that might be later. |

1) no comment, I have not enough skills to estimate the implications
2) as soon as price would tenfold, the problems would come back. But perhaps you can bind the PoW difficulty to the PoS difficulty in some way.
3) possible
1 should be fine. PoS is moving many coins with no PoW. 2. Good Point. |

Hey Everyone.
Would like a quick feedback/vote.
Right now the difficulty for HBN is very low. Not many miners these days. And those who are mining are taking advantage via flash mining. They wait until no blocks have been mined for hours and the diff drifts lower and lower, then they turn on 100+ mh/s and crush though block after block after block. This either causes large Regorgs or wallet delays.
So I would like to do something for this. Here are a few options.
1) Turn off PoW of completely.
2) Set minimum PoW Difficulty to say 2 or 3 or higher.
3) Only allow 1 PoW block for every 5 PoS blocks.
I am leaning towards 1 or 3. Likely 1. Would like to implement something before July is over. So going to move quickly..
What say ye?

Hey all,
Can someone remind me the limits on stake combine / split please.
Is it still limited to 1/500th of your wallet balance?
or is there a hard cap also?
my extended staking info is saying split : 20 combine 40
I'm thinking more in the 100s-1000s
There is are hard cap in if you set from startup switch or the .conf file. You can try the RPC command splitthreshold/combinethreshold. I'll look to update these in the next release as well. |

What's the current status of this coin? Is my understanding correct that the dev left and has returned?
<-------- Me Hey Tranz, just for the info - links to explorers (HBN PressTab.pw Explorer, HBN on Cryptopia Explorer) at http://hobonickels.info/ seems broken. Sounds good. I will give the Website the once over here in the next week or so. Currently working on the wallet for a few hours today. |

What's the current status of this coin? Is my understanding correct that the dev left and has returned?
<-------- Me Never left, just wasn't active. I am extremely busy with work, family, and athletics. I am here now and working on version version 1.6 due out in late 2017 early 2018. |
|
|
|
where can I get 1.5.2 and what does that fix?
Have to compile. It is not released, and never will be. All version up to 1.6 are going to be self service and use at your own risk only. They are development and potentially buggy. Only the pulls to the offical repo will have full releases. |
|
|
|
One person on 0.7.5/ Thirty eight people on 1.5.0/ Sixty people on 1.5.1/ Two people on 1.5.2/ Not sure how important it is to run the latest version of wallet add 1.5.2 doesn't seem to be released yet, https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/releases , so most people are not far behind Version 0.7.5 Will not work, the rest are all compatible. |

4) the basic point you make is accurate. If a currency could distribute $2 in useable currency to every person, it would improve things more than it would worsen them, for most people. The main bottleneck has to do with things like education. you could look at coins like humaniq, that claim to have that ambition. Even then there are lots of small issues. If you distribute by thumbprint to the uneducated then there will be a market for severed thumbs in some areas.
Isn't this just like changing the one dollar bill to a million dollar bill. So everyone can be millionaires? I'm pretty sure in your situation, if you gave $2 to every person, no matter if it is crypto, gold, or dollars, inflation would simply make everything in the world $2 more expensive, putting everyone back at the same spot they were before you gave them it. |

Who do you think caused the great bubble! I'm still in accumulation mode. Got any to sell?  |
