Block 1077346 is ok? or wrong?

We don't have much control either way. It is the nature of a decentralized network to resist control by anyone.

We do as we know which is a valid chain for this project and which is not. We follow the valid chain and ban the misbehaving ones.

OK, I personally use a VPN proxy, because my internet is behind a firewall, that would make ip banning useless, also I don't think banning ips would be necessary, as the longest chain is always the default chosen by the wallets.

Longest chain is valid if it's not a fake chain, but what I'm trying to say is that there are people in the network that try to manipulate it. Not sure why they do, I'm just warning you and users to skip such fake chains for now.
The invalid chain has like 2700000 blocks, which is of course invalid if you do the math.

This won't be an issue with the new wallet though.

How did you discover this anomoly? I am only curious.

Math, such height is not possible right now for the features of experience coin.
It's not possible to be at such height without a malicious manipulation of the source code.

At some point a chain appeared on the network that completely wrong.

The re-release of EPC and current chain we have started around the start of 2015, roughly 33 months ago.

We have 1 min blocks, so lets say that the network was mining 100% of the time, at a perfect rate of 1 min per block.

Then the BEST case scenario for the total EPC produced, where the network was at 100% efficiency would be:

33 x 30 (days) x 24 * 60 = 1,425,600


However, during the past 3 years, there we times were only one or two people were mining, or not at all, as a result that number would be lower.

The correct Chain is used by the main nodes, and the two exchanges that host EPC. Currently that is at: 1,077,424


The longest chain on the network is roughly 2,700,000, to create a chain of this length would be impossible, in our timeline, since it would require over 5 years of mining at 1 block per minute.


These types of things are just part of the territory, people trying to attack, undermine, and exploit the network. This is not only with EPC but with all crypto coins.  As our network grows, it will be more difficult as more correct nodes will far exceed bad ones.

OK, I am glad that the update will fix that. My wallet so far has not shown any chains longer than what prohashing shows.

Thats interesting
So somebody (something tells me those are Russian community guys playing around, but I might be mistaken) has modified the code to decrease the block time, then mined it in their local closed sub-network for some time, then publish the new chain to the open network? Is this a possible scenario, or do you think something different was done?

Wouldn't normal clients always automatically reject the blocks mined by modified clients, regardless of the amount of the modified nodes in the network? Or if the modified clients make more than 51%, all the other clients will accept the malicious chain (seems unlikely..)?

This is just for my info (and for our common crypto-education), it was always an interesting topic to me, but I never had a time (nor the willingness to mess with other's projects and others' money) to experiment on this

@drays yes

[tomhunksx]

Help me....
I am using an old wallet.
After the new wallet is released, will you be unable to use the old wallet?
Does it become impossible to use up to block number ~1076963 ?
Please tell me how to confirm block number my wallet

You can verify what block your wallet is on by hovering your mouse over the small check mark in the bottom right part of your EPC wallet.

You have not worry, EPC is good coin.

I'm relieved.
Thank you.

What kind of trouble? I personally have never had any withdrawal issues from yobit. I actually like how they send the tx instantly. Did you send it to the correct address?

hi, help http://prntscr.com/i9qgmv

If you close the wallet and open it again too fast, you can corrupt the blockchain index. It is mentioned here https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11812
I have found this is a problem with most qt wallets. I personally backup the chainstate and block index every so often when I am syncronizing a qt wallet. I do this on windows by searching "%appdata%" in the start search bar, and simply copy those folders needed, or you can just delete them to redownload. Don't delete wallet.dat!

yes correct adress

"in progress" but no transaction ID

i hate them really....and i know support will not help me

Your best option is to contact support, that kind of thing happens on occasion. However, judging by the massive drop in bitcoin as well as pretty much every other coin's price, yobit is probably being hammered pretty hard with withdrawal requests and support tickets, so patience is probably the best thing to have. Good luck, and stay positive.

That is correct block, you can check the current block here:
https://prohashing.com/explorer/Experiencecoin/
The blocks are delayed, so the wallet is waiting for the next block. As EPC becomes more popular, the mining time for the blocks should become more consistent and be closer to one every 60 seconds.
