The 2.6 client gets the version message, parses it fine until it gets to the subver string then throws errors. As a result it cannot read the block height that comes after. The substr issue is the issue we are looking into, could be due to sending serialised string as the numbers before worked.

We have found the exact line of code where 0.13 stops syncing, basically PoS hash does not meet the target. The block is Decemeber 2017. Not sure if it is a bit of a rogue block or of the issue is with the new client.Peter Will get all values for CheckStakeKernelHash from 2.6 and compare tomorrow.

I can see where Peter has pushed a few commits to the xbcwalletsource repo to deal with compiler warnings during the compilation process.

Some progress, we have found the issue for the blockchain sticking at block 472,474 but it now gets stuck at block 590,436 with the same error as before though the cause will be different as the previous issue is now resolved.


Also client version now displays correctly locally in the GUI.Peter spotted the issue where it got stuck previously, thought we were going to get a full sync but it stopped three weeks short. Adding additional logging to both 2.6 and 2.7 now.

Old clients were notoriously problematic like that but the 2.7 client will sync much better. The issue here is to do with the client rejecting a valid block for an invalid stake target.The block header sync completes fine with the whole chain, just whole block validation that fails.

We need to compare the values being used to compute the target and see where they differ between 2.6 and 2.7.We now have added the same level of debugging to CheckStakeKernelHash in 2.6 and are waiting for it to sync to the same point that 2.7 fails to see the output.

Also adding additional logging directly into the CheckStakeKernelHash function to see the state of every variable used to computer the PoS target.Will use git to compare diffs and presume that there will be a noticeable difference between variables in 2.6 and 2.7 as the CheckStakeKernelHash function is not the same as they cannot be the same due to the large differences between the codebases.

If we don't like fegwit I vote we fork XBC and have big blocks instead

Hi

JJMV is no longer a team member so you have not made a donation towards XBC unfortunately however JJMV did do great work on behalf of XBC in the past so it is not a wasted donation in that sense.

Sync is the first part, then we have to go through every single PoS function to make sure the protocol is the same. Then we need to test PoS block generation, We only have 3 coins minus TX fees as coins were split it into lots of inputs. When we test block generation it would be helpful to have more coins to speed up the process. Once sync and block generation is in the bag Peter will rebase everything into Bitcoin 0.13.2. Using the 0.13 testnet test that SegWit will happily activate with PoS blocks and that everything still works after activation. Then we can create the 2.7 client for Windows, Mac and Linux and distribute.

We still need to do some bespoke code to make sure that 2.6 clients display correctly based on PROTOCOL_VERSION number. 2.6 shows as scrambled and 2.7 is blank but we can tell them apart with the PROTOCOL_VERSION, however anything with a higher PROTOCOL_VERSION than 2.7 We will let it display it normally as we can assume that the client will have a full substr message, this will make 2.7 the bridging client.

I'm currently spending close to full time hours on Bitcoin Plus at the moment. If it is possible Peter hopes to have old TX/Block disk position restored this week.

We are aiming for the new client to be ready for testing by the end of the month.Testing will be ongoing until we are 100% everything is safe for release into the wild.There is no hard ETA on release and exchanges and 3rd party services will be notified in good time.

Right now we are also working on ways to make future developments easier so the whole codebase doesn't have to be practically rebuilt in order to make nescessary changes/updates.

What is min. to get reward pos?

Anything over 1 XBC should be sufficient.PoS is calculated annually and staking should normally begin after 110 confirmations or 24hrs.It is taking longer these days for any stake to arrive due to wallets out there with larger network weight etc.
