[XBC] BitcoinPlus Official Thread

[BitcoinPlusBus]

2.7.0 PoS blocks not being accepted by 2.6.0 on testnet, looks like the stakemodifier is being calculated differently between versions. For a second we thought it might be the TX position on disk again but that's consistent thankfully.nStakeModifierSelectionInterval is now consistent between version but nStakeModifier still comes back different between versions.

Lot's of "read txPrev failed" errors after generating stake on testnet. Something else to iron out but stake does work.Developers have set up a mixed stake environment as well so some stake blocks come from 2.6.There are still some kinks that are rapidly exposed on testnet that need to be ironed out.Peter is working on XBC Sunday to Thursday and hopes to work through all staking issues.

Pushed the commit for the starting height change.Ironed out the prev TX which was to do with coin selection and simplified the CreateCoinStake code, the CreateCoinStake code was looking up CTransaction in the same way that CheckProofOfStake did however it is not necessary as we already have a set of CWalletTx which inherit from CTransaction. This allows us to structure the code in a way more consistent with 2.6.
With the height fix we've not had PoS blocks failed to be picked up by the 2.6 client.

Clean slated the testnet so we have to wait for that to start staking again but mainnet is minting PoS without errors. Expecting to see the same on tesntet.Peter will keep checking both mainnet and testnet.

Two commits pushed, one for PoS sync and the other PoS staking both of which need to be tidied into previous commits.
We are happy with the progress today, these errors have been bugging us. There's only one more we know of that Peter will investigate tomorrow and then it should be just a case of watching the testnet.

Tiny but annoying bug fixed. PoS kept being generated from TXs that never made it into the main chain. CheckStake rejects these blocks as it should but they should not be generated in the first place, simple unsigned int to int comparison problem.We can now remove some left over sanity checking code from CreateCoinStake.Code can then be pushed to Github.

With development going full steam ahead on the Soon to be Released Segwit Enabled BitcoinPlus we are on the verge of releasing a product to the communiuty that we can all be proud off.

With that in mind we have created an official BitcoinPlus Subreddit where you can keep up to date with the latest news and views of the XBC Team and the Community.

Update

Native Tor wallet and messaging will still be functional after update for TX's only.For staking upgraded segwit/CSV client is nescessary however we will be adopting an alternative technology to suit upgraded client in the future.

The last 10 PoS blocks were all relayed to the network and formed part of the mainnet blockchain

Testnet was clean slated yesterday but is now on block 1558 and ticking, BIP9 signalling starts on block 2016.

The last PoS bug has been resolved. There was a block signature check present in 2.7 that is not in 2.6 so 2.7 will sometimes reject blocks that 2.6 will not. 2.7 only rejects blocks sent directly from the generation source, if the block has been accepted by 2.6 first it is fine.


Going to re-do the commit history one last time. Will pull the Bitcoin commits for the fontconfig fix, better to have cherry-picked commits if they have a source then we can look them up and read the discussions and GitHub issues they relate to, makes life easier.


Commit history rebuilt, hopefully for the last time.
A couple more minor changes to be merged into the PoS blockchain sync and PoS Staking so only need to redo the very top of the history.

PoS block sigs cannot be validated with compact blocks.
Blocks are sent compact, they are rejected as the block signature cannot be validated, the blocks are then sent full which passes validation. Basically PoS coins cannot use compact blocks as the blocks are signed using the sig from the PoS TXs. Compact blocks are sent without TXs, just shortened TXIDs for receiving nodes to find the matching TXs from the mempool which will never work for PoS as the only node with the PoS TXs is the creating node and then it's minted them directly into blocks, not mempool.
Now fixed this issue by basically disabling compact blocks.


Once testing has completed we can publish it publicly.

We are currently working on getting messaging working in the new client.On further upgrades we can look at a more modern tor plug in or an alternative technology that is now being looked at.

Segwit is now locked in on testnet.

[Franklino79]

Segwit is now locked in on testnet.

What does that mean?

are we having a hard fork for the segwit?

[bobitza202]

Nice to see things going well here, i remember the days when it was 3$, such a good deal.

[BitcoinPlusBus]

No hard fork.It means its running successfully on a testing/closed envoirnment.
