Hello all. First off sorry I haven't been around much. I have been pretty busy with work, and then getting the HBN website back up and running. Otherwise I have been trying to spend more time with the family, especially during the holiday season. I did find a bit of time today to work on the split/combine threshold for CAPs. https://github.com/Tranz5/bottlecaps/commit/9f71e2356b33494f30c2ad9fedf314029361e18f?diff=unifiedThis will add the splitthreshold and combinethreshold to both start up switches and rpc command. The defaults for the split/combine are set to 10,20 respectfully. The start up switches max are set to 200/400. And the rpc max is set to wallet balance / 500 and balance / 250. Or the start up max. Whichever is greater. So what this means is if you balance is 300,000 you can set the split max to 600, and the combine max to 1200. I think this is a good compromise on network security and ease of use for the users. Also note that as of right now these are not persistent on restart. Using the start up switches in a batch file would take care of that, but if your rpc commands are setting to larger values, you will have to manually adjust those after the client is initialized. For you HBN lovers, these rpc commands will also be available after the hard fork is complete. Hopefully I can continue to find more time here to add more cool stuff. Thanks! |

Maybe it`s good idea to add quick-backup feature into client itself?or better not to use for such applications windows )) is also a good idea  Corruption on other OS is also possible. Less likely. But if you pull the disk out from under an application that is currently writing to it, you will get unpredictable results. hmmm no for example xfs set to zero all "unpredictable results". ps: due to the loss of important data under win xp I moved to the Linuх (Debian) 14 years ago. Linux is good, I use it on a daily basis. But I have seen disc corruption on it. I've even see the kernel get corrupted on a system patch. (Bad weekend!) So although it is very robust it is not 100% fault tolerant. |

The way I do it is before a windows update or other reason I know I am shutting down. I shut down the client and then create a backup_date folder and copy those 4 things mention above into that folder. I only do it once in a while.
Doing same - pretty usefull as i had problems before... once after accident power off wallet dat was corrupted. Backup helped me greatly. Maybe it`s good idea to add quick-backup feature into client itself? There is one for the wallet already, under file. I think adding one for the block chain is a good idea as well. It maybe tricky or not doable with txleveldb, and allowing the client to still be active. But might be worth investigating. |

Can I simply archive the txleveldb folder, when it's done syncing, and simply use the latest copy the next time it gets munged up? It's the only thing I deleted and my coins are all showing up again. Whew!
Yes, you can. I myself do a backup of txleveldb+database+blk0001.dat once a week. To save the block chain you backup txleveldb + blk001.dat. The wallet uses wallet.dat and database. Saving those 4 files, while the client is NOT running, is a great way to quickly backup. The way I do it is before a windows update or other reason I know I am shutting down. I shut down the client and then create a backup_date folder and copy those 4 things mention above into that folder. I only do it once in a while. |

Hi, perhaps Tranz or someone else can enlight me  Checking my add on the explorer ( http://hbn.cryptocoinexplorer.com/address?address=ErmqaiunrcguMEhpDP5uqEQhRKmn3oViWv ) he show me 6706.15625 But on my wallet, only 6679.99642. Diff of around 28 HBN not showing on my wallet. Did some coin get lost somewhere in my wallet or the block explorer reporting wrong number? Wallet running fine for many month, update to 1.5 went without trouble. Is there any way to rescan all my coin to recover/double check all my coin to see if some are wandering around ? Edit: 2nd problem  Just runned wallet with -salvage flag to check if it would find some of my ghost coin, but nothing more ^^ Now in debug windows (after the -salvage, and even restarted without the flag), with listtransactions it's only return receive coin, and no more all the POS generated. Before, listtransaction did return every transations: receive/pos/send ... PS. The GUI still show the pos transactions, and wallet keep minting without trouble. Did I broke something else ?  Edit 2: (Promis, after this one I'll sleep !  ) Looks like after the salvage or repair, client did a backup a my wallet named somethings like wallet.number(timestamp perhaps?).bak and a wallet.dat (Don't worry, I did a backup myself too before trying , just didn't tried to get my old wallet back ^^ ) Just renamed the wallet.dat to something else, and then renamed the wallet.number.bak to wallet.dat, restarted client, and now listtransations is working again, even for the 3 pos i got during this time  Many things I've to learn still it seems The block explorer could be off as well. The other start up switch that may yield the missing(if there truly are any) coins would be -zapwallettxes. The final thing to try, if you are really want to play would be to remove the blk001.dat the folders txleveldb and database, and then restart the client and it will rescan and look for all coins. I think the 2 things that you already did, were more then enough. As it is most likely the block explorer that is off, not your wallet. |

Now that I've started downloading the blockchain (I have 1yr and 85days... remaining), should I just let it go or stop it and delete the "txleveldb" folder and "blk001.dat" file and then download/install the latest blockchain file, to speed things up? Where does that go exactly? I'm still kinda confused. At least I know what was munging up the wallet... how'd it get corrupted? Windows 7 shut it down too fast or force quit it or something?
No problem letting it go. It is always best to create your own index file rather then use someone else. The reason is still a bit of a mystery to me. It has to deal with how leveldb closes and opens files, and when it flushes to disk. I have put code into HBN that knows when win shuts down gracefully and allows the wallet to do so as well. Are you sure it was a normal Win shutdown and not a power failure or other type of shutdown. |

I just deleted the "txleveldb" folder (it's sitting in the trashcan, so it hasn't been permanently deleted), but now that the wallet is open, and downloading the blockchain again, it shows 0.00 HBN!!! Will my balance return, or did I do the wrong thing?
When downloading the block chain again, delete all files EXCEPT for any file ending in .dat and hobonickels.conf (if you have a .conf file).
Not necessary. Only delete the txlevedb and blk001.dat
Re-launching the wallet will start downloading the chain.
Your balance may show as zero until the block chain download catches up to where you started having transactions.
Correct, using the 2nd link under corrupt block chain will give you a start point of only a few months ago. |

My 1.5 wallet was working fine last night. I get up this morning and my laptop is off. Windows 7 update shut down my laptop... *grumble*. Power on. Run HBN wallet Qt.... CRASH! What the...huh? Oh, more Windows 7 updates need to go in. Click Shutdown. Power on. Rerun HBN wallet Qt... CRASH! I really hate Windows sometimes... is there a wallet for Ubuntu or other OS that doesn't have to constantly update and shut down/reboot the computer? I'd really appreciate that...
What is going on? I have $100 in HBN I can't get to or see... can't even stake them!
I'd post images of the crash, but not not sure how to here. If necessary, I can send them via Email. Just want my wallet working again...

Sent out an alert for version below 1.5.
Yesterday I already updated wallet. Preparing for suffering ...)) But everything went smoothly. good job Tranz Wish I could say the same... Been poking at the upgrade for close to a week now. I couldn't get any responses from any peers. The wallet is installed on a Windows 8 computer along with a Hyper wallet and an AsiaCoin Wallet. Hyper and AsiaCoin are working fine. My router is set up for uPnP and had shown a port forward for TCP Port 7372, but for some reason it disappeared. I manually added it back, but still no success. I also upgraded the version of DD-WRT on my router around the same time I upgraded the HoboNickels Wallet. I just figured out that DD-WRT has decided that HoboNickels on Port 7372 constitutes a P2P protocol and my rule blocking all P2P was blocking HoboNickels. I'm finally getting The wallet caught up, but I'm puzzled by what it took. Sorry to hear this, but glad you got it sorted. There were some changes to the way this connected to and talked with peers. Although I can't imagine it was that it was so different then the other wallets, that it was flagged as P2P whereas the others were not. I wonder if without the upgraded rule, would the older 1.4 wallet be able to connect? |

Wounder if anyone can help me? I am trying to connect to the hobo wallet rpc with a python lib that I am currently using on other coins like bottlecaps, supercoin and a couple others. It wont connect to hobo for some reason though. I get a socket timeout error. Any help would be appreciated
I am sure someone here can help. Quick guess is, the capitalization maybe off? Otherwise I think we might need the script you are running and/or the error log. capitalization? is in the conf file? I am just saying are you calling the correct daemon, spelling and case wise? |

Hi Tranz,
I reported 2 days ago about S4C block selection in which size small seemed to win over priority. I had another block of about 9K staking today with the same effect. This time S4C decided to use a two day old block of about 4750 with 6000 confirmations (prio highest) over a newly created block of 4880 with 25 confirmations (prio < highest).
So it seems the algo just goes for the smallest block no matter what age it has. I don't want to be a bother but it think this impairs the S4C usability to some extend. I hope you have some time to check it out. Thanks!
I did see, just didn't get a chance to reply. I will do my best to update S4C to fix this issue. I still think it works quite well in its current form. But I tend to leave my blocks much smaller in size, so I wouldn't notice as much of an issue. |
