1001  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Bottlecaps 2.0 UPDATE REQUIRED - HARDFORK JULY 4 2014 to 200% Annual PoS on: June 17, 2014, 06:17:35 PM
I added the db.conf. I think it worked because my previously synced wallet instantly wanted to download another 5k blocks but it's painfully slow.

How can I be sure I'm on the correct fork? The debug window says there's a total of 500303 blocks. before it said 494000.

It's fine now.

Upon reload, most of the chain was able to load fast, but after the fork painfully syncing at 1 to 2 blocks per minute again.  Your suggestion fixed this and got me synced in under two minutes.

In addition to the checkpoint, do you think it might be a good idea to either update the BottleCaps client with these parameters or include the DB_CONFIG file to prevent this from happening in the future?

db.cpp can be patched this way as the current defaults are 10000 each, but this change must be made to every client to avoid a chain fork situation when the old clients fail to follow the new ones. Something like this happened in March of 2013 to Bitcoin when v0.7 and v0.8 clients disagreed on block 225430. I'm leaving it up to Tranz.

The fork happened at block 491911 and those clients trapped on the shorter chain cannot re-organise to the longer chain:

Why? Because the DB wasn't supposed to handle such load.

Code:
Lock table is out of available lock entries
Lock table is out of available object entries

The solution? Create DB_CONFIG file in your %APPDATA% / BottleCaps directory and put the following in:

Code:
set_lg_dir database
set_lk_max_locks 500000
set_lk_max_objects 50000

Restart your client.

Enjoy. I also suggest Tranz to put a checkpoint at 491915 or so to prevent this from happening.

is this end of this site? no update long time, the info there is no right

I've been working thru trying to fix the coins.  Which ones do you see as still wrong?

ORB, PXC and FTC are way behind their actual block counts and their difficulties are also incorrect.

Good to see another PXC pool running, thanks. Hope it won't die without a warning like many pools do.

Could you update your PXC pool daemon to v0.6.5.3?

F1nomPvbUCiDGPFJUMhHUJZao9c5EkNK2n -> Looks a bit fishy since new addresses created starts with E

All prefix 34 addresses start with either E or F. HBN also uses this prefix. It means you can use the same key pair for both.

Hi, I want to ask how to combine smaller block in the same orb wallet address?
I have a lot of block with just 1 or 2 orb so how can I combined them using coin control?
Thanks.

Yes. The Coin Control can merge over 10 inputs for free usually.
1009  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: OrbitCoin now on coinwik.org on: June 01, 2014, 05:32:38 PM
OrbitCoin now has it's own page on http://coinwik.org a wikipedia listing all the existing alt coins to help us quickly find facts and links about them.

http://coinwik.org/OrbitCoin
This is a wiki page so if you know of other facts and links that can be added to the page, please do update the page.

This page needs an update definitely. The information in the opening post and our Cryptocointalk forum is correct.


Little confused. This is the same ORB as is on Cryptsy right. Is there a block explorer up? How many coins are out there right now and what is the coin cap? I recall ORB had a 31M coin cap, but now it's only 3.5M. Will the fixed PoS block reward continue working after the 3.5M number is reached? Does the reward only work with full 20 ORB blocks, or can you get fractional rewards?

This is my block explorer for Orbitcoin and it shows 1.36M coins currently.

As I've mentioned it previously, Red Mist advertised a 31M total, but the code couldn't do even a 1.8M total. I have fixed it, so the new total is about 3.5M. The exact amount will be calculated when the Staking Bonanza is over. ORB is the 1st PoW/PoS coin with a fixed total coin supply.

There is no fractional reward for either PoS or PoW and both are fixed value. Either you produce a block and get a full reward (+ transaction fees if any) or no block and no reward.

The idea behind the Staking Bonanza is to give coins to the community in a fair way. Those who hold the coins in their wallets staking get rewarded accordingly. It works much better this way rather than giving high rewards to the ASIC armed miners. They mine whatever is the most profitable now, dump and leave. It has been 240K ORB produced since the Bonanza start 35 days ago, that's about 20% additional. I don't see large coin dumps at exchanges, so this strategy works. The community is well motivated to keep the coins.

When the Bonanza is over, 67% of blocks produced will be PoS and the remaining 33% will be PoW. Pure PoS based models are even less secure than pure PoW ones, but that's not a common knowledge unfortunately.

Orbitcoin has been added to WhatToMine and updated on CoinChoose. Thanks to Fredeq and Sal002.


So let's assume staking bonanza is over. Does each 20 ORB block produce roughly 1 ORB every 10 days? So on a % basis, you could say around 15% a month?

Depends on difficulty which is likely to decrease, so it may stake faster on average. Could be something about 20% a month.
1012  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Bottlecaps - 200% Annual PoS coming soon! New lead developer Tranz on: May 29, 2014, 01:53:27 PM
I made some calculations and currently CAPS is 4.8x cheaper than HBN, taking 2x higher PoS into consideration. Totally buying.

Come on people, you're so obsessed with this 200% annual PoS coming. Those patches brought up by Tranz are more important because they put this slow and buggy CAP wallet back in business. By the way, Orbitcoin delivers up to 75% PoS per month now at the current 0.005 PoS difficulty and supposed to do about 500% compound per year in the long run considering 5% every 10 days for a 20 ORB input. Tekcoin does as much or even higher. People don't go crazy about it.

Orbit is a scamcoin with a heavy premine. One of the first to do so. I would never touch that garbage.

It was up to Red Mist. He thought 1M pre-mine out of 31M total wasn't much, but the code would do no more than 1.8M total. He wasn't very good at math most likely. Now the total is about 3.5M, 24% of the pre-mine destroyed, a large part given away in mining rewards and bounties.

Phoenixcoin v0.6.5.3 Released

Quote
There are many important improvements in this release.
Additional address (peer) DB engine with a network filter, -defaultkey option for solo miners, better performance overall.

Dual magic number support without a hard fork (moving away from the Litecoin magic number).
v0.6.5.3 peers communicate using the new magic with each other and use the old magic while talking to the previous versions.

There is also a soft fork at block #340000 to enable the enhanced block limiter reducing efficiency of future time travels.

Upgrade isn't required, though advised generally.
1016  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Bottlecaps - 200% Annual PoS coming soon! New lead developer Tranz on: May 27, 2014, 11:58:32 AM
Tranz how exactly will the fork work?  Will aged blocks from before the fork have the new rate applied to them, or only blocks with block time after the fork?

All blocks eligible for stake, will receive the new maturity time and reward at time of fork.

Does this mean the hard-fork resets all coin age to zero for stake weight and maturity?

It means all inputs will be staking using the new rules after the hard fork.

Seems ORBs deposits to AllCrypt not working. My 2 test deposits (1 from Cryptsy 2nd from my own offline wallet) not accounted after >hour of waiting. (also try BTC depo and it work fine with minimum delay)
Is ORB online wallet already fully sync? Or still at initial block download? Current chain:

They're downloading the block chain. It takes a few hours.
1018  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Orbitcoin v1.4.2.1: Staking Bonanza ~ Extreme Stakes! on: May 21, 2014, 06:48:14 PM
Statistics for the 1st part of Staking Bonanza: 180.44K ORB generated, average of 3.61 ORB per block, duration 26.13 days (23.15 days expected).

The PoS activity appeared lower than scheduled, but not bad anyway.
1019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [PXC] Phoenixcoin v0.6.5.2 Released on: May 21, 2014, 12:17:39 PM
This coin is 1 year old since yesterday. There are loads and loads of Scrypt PoW coins, so the people are bored and fed up with them. Things will change for Phoenixcoin some day.

by the way - on windows 7 I get this when attempting to fire up the wallet

I tried it on another computer here

a fatal error has occurred

Exception: St12runtime_error
CDB(): can't open database file, error 1
c:\wallets\Orbitcoin\orbitcoin-qt.exe in Runaway exception


and the second time I run it on windows 7 it files right up, has 5 connections and download fine

too bad I can;t use this computer because it's my office computer and my home computer with windows 8 is the one having problems.

It happens on the very 1st start sometimes.
