[ANN] Sphere [SPHR] [HARDFORK UPDATE YOUR WALLET IMMEDIATELY]

[minerpools]

For anyone having issues syncing, you can use my node:

addnode=node.minerpools.com


On  a side note, there's only 3 miners at my pool, so I urge those 3 miners to move to another pool with more hash as they're just wasting money, it's very hard to get blocks with our current hashrate, so please move to Suchpool or Suprnova.

Thank you.

does anyone wallet keeps getting stuck? no matter how many times you restart it stops following blocks eventually.

Yes , happened to me .

Back up your wallet.dat somewhere , delete everything in datadir, create ChronoSphere.conf and add this: connect=sphr.suprnova.cc, let it sync fully and close wallet.
put back your original wallet.dat, remove ChronoSphere.conf and restart wallet.

connect ? not addonode?  let me try

yes it will connect to that node only ,therefor its vital to remove ChronoSphere.conf or the line with "connect" after the wallet is in sync and do  a restart.

i did that as instructed but now wallet wont open at all fatal error stufff

Windows? check in eventmanager if Chronosphere-qt.exe is still running , if it is then kill it before starting the wallet.

yes i did that, with ol;d wallet when i exit i have to terminate process but when i resynced as you said when i exit process terminates normally but when replaced with my wallet wont start at all, but then again i restored my old wallet and chain and it starts but when i exit have to terminate manually process..

but problem is even though it syncs it stops following blocks eventually

Edit thanks for trying to help tough, i can only try so many times if it doesn't work maybe it's just me..good luck to all

I read the issues about win wallet syncs, had some pms from miners as well.
I tested this on a windows vm:

1. Open the windows wallet, don't try to click on anything before going to the debug menu and doing the following:
addnode node.minerpools.com add
addnode sphr.suprnova.cc add
addnode node.coin-miners.info add

Once I did this, left the wallet for about 10 mins and it synced, after syncing, I was able to use it and no crashes occurred.

Hope this helps anyone having issues.

I just added another available node to help with this:

addnode node.suchpool.pw add

Anyone knows the formula to calculate block reward? I found the following but I'm not familiar with this language:

Code:

static const int g_RewardHalvingPeriod = 1337;
nSubsidy = 90 * COIN;
int halvings = pindexBest->nHeight / g_RewardHalvingPeriod;
nSubsidy = (halvings >= 64)? 0 : (nSubsidy >> halvings);
nSubsidy -= nSubsidy*(pindexBest->nHeight % g_RewardHalvingPeriod)/(2*g_RewardHalvingPeriod);

This is the continuously decreasing reward that we are on now. It was originally supposed to flat line and stay steady at 45 per block, but that didn't happen. Now it will keep going down until it hits zero when it transitions to 100% PoS.

You're right, instead looks it started at around 45+ ish and is gradually toning down. That will be interesting as PoS big blocks will be approaching and supply is getting harder to mine every block.

I think I figured the block rewards out. At block 3600 it will be around 14.70 according to my calculations. Is this correct?

It seems the Blockchain forked. I am not Sure which is the right chain right now as there are several

Same. I'm trying to resync my pool but can't get any connections through.

i think i have lost 322 coins / no tx id on the withdrawal

I have synced my pool to your fork ocminer

I suggest the same for all, it has the majority block count.

another fork today, don't worry the dev will chose his fork

For those who are forking, I spent a bit of time with minerpools and for now we had to addnode=195.154.162.140 to get syncing properly.

Will continue to run that since we're now in sync with everything, and wait for the developpers to address the issue.

So... SuchPool went with Minerpools and Coinminers went with Suprnova.

No, we're all synced.

Guess we'll have to wait for another update from dev to get this fixed as this is a temp solution.

I'm simply offering that node to help avoid further forks.

Okay, as long as we're on one chain. It shouldn't be too hard of a fix from the dev. However, it will prove he is more than a copy-paste if he can fix it.
