Sorry folks, but the faucet is offline again for a day or three...
The machine was DDoS'd by some script kiddies who stumbled onto a weakness in the version of apache I WAS using, and the whole damn thing crashed... Annnnnd, the wallet powering the faucet was corrupted in the process... Ugh.
That said, I'm generally good about backups and such, and thus no funds or anything were lost. But, once again, even with the bootstrap file, it's going to be a little bit before the blockchain is reloaded. I've written a better backup script, so now if needs be, I can restore the blockchain much faster, but, alas this recent adventure has beaten me to implementing it.
Now that we're all past that... I have a question for you all, I feel stupid for asking this one, but I guess this just hasn't come up for me as of yet.
So, I decided to pull the profits from a masternode to my staking node (this is all my personal stuff, not the faucet), that went fine... But, after rebuilding the masternode, and attempting to send 112 8bit back to it from the staking node, it failed twice with the following entries in the log.
CommitTransaction() : Error: Transaction not valid
After restarting the staking node, I tried a third time, and it sent just fine, and ONLY the expected 112 8bit arrived at the masternode. So, all seemed to be well... Until I noticed my staking node's total balance was down 336 8bit instead of the expected 112. Is there a timeout of sorts at which point I might expect my coins that failed to send to be returned? Are my coins gone?
I'd hate to think it's possible to lose money by attempting to transfer 8bit between two wallets I own...
