[ANN] [PPC] PPCoin Released! - First Long-Term Energy-Efficient Crypto-Currency

[Liquid]

Sounds good man  

K my final go at it

Maybe, we should put up a bounty, something to make it worth it, like 5BTC, for a competition winner.

If we have maybe 5+ candidates, then we could all vote (for PPC logo obv)

Is there something wrong with the one we use now?

Did not say this, but, it's good to get more people involved with PPC in many ways.

That is true also.

Looking at it, my question may have come out wrong. I genuinely wanted to know if there was an issue.

On a good note (I hope) hash rate seems to have risen quite well today.

Looking at the pools a few heavy hashers have climbed on board.

Coinotron is almost up to 40 GH (Their BTC rate is 52)

Bit parking is over 76 GH !!

Exchange rate is rising in a controlled manner on the Bit parking  exchange.

Sunny King, please fix this memory leak bug. Because of it I must restart pool almost once a day!

I'll see what I can do regarding the memory leak, but as I don't have a reproducible setup some help is likely needed from the pool operators who are running into the issue.

Can you run a miner? Steps that might reproduce:

* Set up a difficulty 1 ppcoind 'testnet in a box'
* Run the ppcoind instances under valgrind
* Mine a few blocks
* Check valgrind reports

Yeah that's what I plan to do first to see if I find anything. Thanks,

I think it's to do with something holding a ref to the newly minted block after signing it.

Hey, I'm having a small glitch with my PPC Wallet...

shows an odd transaction, and when I look up the TxID...:


Apparently wallet sent itself over 5000 coins and didn't realize?

Anyone else have this issue, or does anyone have ideas for a solution? I tried restarting wallet, but to no avail.

[dreamwatcher]

Vorksholk,

It appears you have have mined (Generated) a POS block.

This is natural behavior that unfortunately the converted QT client does not recognize.

If you use a command line "getinfo" you should see those coins under "Stake". After 520 confirms the coins will be returned to balance.

I am currently working on a PPC GUI client that will be fully setup for PPC. The client will know what a POS generation is and report it appropriately.

It may be a little bit before it is ready as I am writing from the ground up, recycling some code from other clients.

See my thread at:

 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=112972.0

for more info and to put some suggestions in, I am really in need of feedback on what users want from the new client.

Awesome, thanks for the response!

Hi Volksholk,

  Yeah I can confirm what dreamwatcher said. I'll see if I can add some quick fix in the next release (no plan on full support of gui still). But mostly looking forward to dreamwatcher's improved gui with explorer functionality.

Wait...

... so if you get lucky and generate a POS block you lose control over those coins for 520 blocks?

What if I need those coins to pay somebody in the meantime? How fast are PPCoin blocks-- how long would I have to possibly wait?

If you assume a PPC block takes 10 minutes then you would need to wait 5200 minutes or about 3 days.
