hmmm... downloaded the Mac file there twice, did exactly what you said and app keeps crashing. Keeps telling me it quit unexpectedly. Yes there appear to be 2 different build types. The DMG install seem to work great but only for new the new Mac OSs. The one that max power builds do appear to be a bit more compatible. Let me see if Max can build us another version as well. Cool. Yeah please let me know. I currently dont have any wallets running since 1.3 doesn't barely run anymore for me. 1.3 is SOOO laggy for me now I can barely use it. Can someone please explain to me how to combine my coins? I have about 15k that has been splitting endlessly since about February so I constantly stake. I generate probably 100+ stakes a day, though 95% of them dont get accepted. Could use a bit of help. oh and FYI I am running Mac OSX 10.9.4 I don't know how long it will be till Max is able to create one. So if you still want to keep staking, here is a quick method. #1 Start the 1.3v client with -reservebalance=999999 or do this in the debug window/consoule by issuing the command reservebalance true 999999 #2 Get back in sync with the chain(See this page for a faster sync method since you destroyed your txleveldb dir, http://wiki.hobonickels.info/index.php?title=Replace_Blockchain, you will need the old 1.4v. Or just re-sync from peers). #3 Under Address, click on new address and call it combine1, you can make a few like combine2 etc. #4 Under Send coins, just choose like 5,000 and send it to the new address you just created "combine1" #5 Do this again but this time use coin control. Select all the blocks, but deselect the new 5,000 combine1 block. and send yourself another 5k. You can send to the same address combine1, or one of the others. Repeat until you are left with only bigger blocks. #6 in the debug window/consoule issue the command reservebalance false 5,000 was just an example, you can use 1,000 blocks. But either should set you up for quite a while. Version 1.5(due out in about 1 month) will handle this more for you and will even give the user more control of auto split/combining.

Is there a new MAC wallet for Hobo? I see the link on the hobo nickels.info site but link to Mac wallet is dead. I am still using 1.3 and have noticed for a while that 99% of my stake generations are rejected. Think I saw there is a 1.4?
Any help appreciated...
Thanks for letting me know. I'll put up a new link here shortly. The issue you speak of is based on 2 things, and can be an issue in version 1.3 and in 1.4. What you can do to minimize the orphans on the mac are firstly, and this is the most important, Turn on "Prevent App Nap" under the general applications settings for HoboNickels. Secondly if you have many thousands of inputs you may want to combine them. Look under coin control. Version 1.4 does a better job at allowing many thousand of inputs to stake without lag, but even that has some limitations.

recently I started to receive message: runtime error ....
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. ...
it not right after execution - but after syncing with blockchain ends and probably during staking.
This could be due to a corrupt wallet. If you run multiple wallets you may need to isolate which one went bad. You can start up -usewallet="" which will only load the default wallet. If you only have default wallet, you may want to try to restore one from backup, or try a -salavgewallet. Just be sure to have good backups before you do anything.

Good information thanks. The July 4th roll back took us all by surprise, especially after the fork had been in place for 5 or 6 hours with no issues. But so far it has been pretty smooth sailing since then, so that is good.
Thanks for the diligent effort with the explorer. Let us know the best way we can support you.
The database has been reconstructed and went live late last night. After looking a bit at the code, I remember that I did not program the system to go into orphan recovery when a "ghost" transaction was found. I wanted to make sure the orphan correction system worked well in production with the check range, before allowing the system to correct deep changes when a reorganization occurred beyond the check range. The issue has come up so infrequently, that it kind of slipped my mind. Since system has worked well to date, in the next patch, I will add the ability for the orphan recovery system to run when a ghost transaction is found. As for support: I will give a friendly reminder that donation funded explorers are being phased out, and getting the explorer sponsored will keep the CAP CCE explorer online when the donation "funded" explorers are shut down. I have some good plans in place for 3.5, including GUI updates, market tickers and a mempool display. Though I personally do not see the value of a mempool display, people seem to want it. The exchange software I am writing should be going into beta testing late this week - early next week. Once I get into late second stage beta testing, I will be able to dedicate more time to CCE 3.5. Can you explain just a bit about how the explorer would be sponsored? Like x price for x months type deal? Cool deal about the exchange, I check it out once it is live. Good luck.

Great discussion here guys. I'll try to clarify a few things. #1 PoW and PoS are shared over the 30 second block time. With preference given to PoS. So PoW difficulty will go up faster to slow down PoW blocks and allow more PoS blocks. This is the intent of a hybrid system. To move the chain to PoS naturally over the course of years. #2 PoS already has 1 reward reduction in place, often dubbed the NVCS system. Where the yearly interest deceases as the PoS difficulty increases. So far in practice this has only decreased the reward a few times, usually in the 99-97% range. Once the Max PoS reward is in place, worries about inflation should be quite small. Yet users who allow the wallet to do the work without constantly combining blocks after every reward will receive a nice insensitive for securing the network. #3 I will also be adjusting the combine/split thresholds to allow for better cleanup of dust and prevent coins from staking to small, as to not be able to compete for stake. I may also give the users the ability to adjust these setting via start up/config switches to better suit their particularly needs. Not a for sure thing yet. #4 Although Pos is not free from electricity, is is very close. A raspberry Pi with a small solar cell and battery backup, coupled with free/cheap wifi is almost as free as it gets. #5 (@sandpaper) The current max S4C is 50%. You can use multiple wallets and do a S4C to different or the same address. This will never equal 100% though. I am going to add additional features to this, including start up /config switches, min and max threshold. Perhaps also allow 100%. And if things go well an additional gui page to make this feature easy to use and understand. After a few weeks of work into version 1.5. I am up to 1.4.2. So things are moving along at a reasonable pace. I'll will update the CCT thread here later tonight with the work so far. Others are encouraged to look over it and comment or question. https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/13199-preparing-hbn-v15/?p=112860Thanks!

The previous transaction(e2815838e585a050dbfe...) was the 2nd transaction at the height, during the 500 block roll back. The explorer didn't create a new entry. But using your wallet you can see the details.
Do I need to recreate the database on the explorer? When did this roll-back occur? The big roll back happened on July 4th, due to an issue with the ACP server. It was approx 500 blocks. But the real question I have is what happens during more normal re-orgs. Like 1 or 2 blocks. Does the explorer update those or no? If one looks in the CCE3 development thread (now locked: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=262539.msg2804427), I spent much of the time on solving the orphan block issue. There are two methods in place to avoid this issue. 1. When the database loader is triggered by the coin daemon block notify, there is a 15 second delay before the loader starts to query the coin daemon for information. This gives the daemon time to catch and reorganize the quickly detected orphan blocks before the loader commits the information to its database. 2. There is a settable range, normally set at 250 blocks, in the explorer configuration file for block look back. Every time the database loader is triggered , it compares the previous block hashes in the range against an immediate query to the coin daemon. If a hash does not match, it corrects all the information pertaining to that block(block information, transactions, address balances, etc.) with the new information the daemon provides. However, if changes occur after the check range, they go unnoticed until a transaction is referred to in a future block that does not exist in the explorer database. After all, it is completely impractical to check the entire chain every update. I am working on CCE version 3.5, however this is a rare occurrence and I will need to balance the complexity vs. benefit in solving this particular situation. Progress with 3.5 is slow right now because of exchange software I am writing at the moment. So far this system has proven quite effective and the only issues so far have been with daemons that cannot return information from their own databases after a major reorganization. In that situation, there is not much I can do as I am not going to start patching coin daemons in which I am not a developer for. (This is not the case here. I am referring to another coin.) This is one of the advantages of moving to a sponsored system for the explorers. Once people have a vested interest in something, they are much more apt to give me a heads up when these types of things occurred. Again, not the case here, I knew about the Jul 4 fork but did not know it caused a major reorganization that occurred outside the check parameters. Anyway, I will start on the database reconstruction. It might take a day or so because of the size of the CAP block chain. Good information thanks. The July 4th roll back took us all by surprise, especially after the fork had been in place for 5 or 6 hours with no issues. But so far it has been pretty smooth sailing since then, so that is good. Thanks for the diligent effort with the explorer. Let us know the best way we can support you.

Going on my 4th day of staking. No coins yet. I have a block of 6000 waiting. Not sure why its taking so long...
Blocks created before July 4th, will take the full 30 days to age. Blocks created after the 4th should stake in 15. The staking icon, unfortunately doesn't reflect this properly. OK. I originally thought that was the case but when the staking icon lit up 4 days ago I figured I was good to go. Oh well... My blocks from the 4th are now getting weight and staking. So the 15 day is working as planned.. Mine too. But something weird is going on, check out this transaction ID at http://cap.cryptocoinexplorer.com: 5a2c52bd5b87031c2debf72e226fa13a131841188106101f5d019a2b100d5b1e transaction coming from nowhere?
