[ANN][OC] Orangecoin v2.0.4 ✦ PoS ✦ Anon ✦ Masternode Whitepaper ✦ Get Juiced!

[GREEDYJOHN]

Hi there,

Too many exchanges are not good for a coin, especially when we are waiting for some critical updates to be implemented.

There are some updates that must run throughout the entire network, progress can be seriously hindered when some exchanges simply refuse to update.

Hey everyone, great work on everything and looking forward to the upcoming additions.  Much thanks to the community and especially Halo and Soopy, bravo.

I'm curious about the new Mac update and if there is a way to download the blockchain so it all doesn't have to be downloaded again.  This is a common issue that I have with several coins.   There doesn't seem to be too great of an answer anywhere on the 'net outside of tech language which is out of the scope of new coin adopters, speculators, tech un-savvy folk.  I was going to suggest a FAQ (I am not capable of writing it) about such issues that commonly arise with wallet changes, forks, etc.  Written for the layman and for folks who are not tech savvy and don't know about add-nodes etc.  

I am glad to donate!!  

Also, since I have maintained a windows wallet while Mac has been down do I have to install my most recent .dat file in order to see the most recent staking rewards!?  

Good work OC team!

edit:  Also, what is coin control and how do I use it?  Can I direct staked coins to a new address?  Thanks!!

We have a bootstrap file with instructions located on the website that you can use that speeds up the download, use this path instead for Mac, "~/Library/App Support/Orangecoin/bootstrap.dat".

Coin control wiki from HBN: http://wiki.hobonickels.info/index.php?title=Coin_Control. Basically it lets you choose what coins to send instead of letting the wallet choose for you. It's for efficient staking, so you don't mess up your coin ages, or it's for sending coins from a certain wallet key for whatever reason you'd want.

If coins are staked, they are automatically placed into the "staked:" of the "overview" tab of the wallet. They are immovable and unusable until they get all the required confirms. Additional information on staked coins can be found in the tutorial section of the website.

I'm not quite back in the office yet, folks. Probably Monday/Tuesday, possibly Wednesday. Just giving a heads up.

I guess a new bootstrap is in order since we have a new checkpoint. If you'd like to make one, great! 

Thanks raven!

After looking around quite a bit, the explanation of how to install the bootstrap is the easiest to understand from the OC site. 

Thanks again

All done. Was going to write up the coin control thing, but my gf just brought home a bottle of abuela's coquito......

Actually it made it a little easier. Words flowed like the coquito in my cup. LMAO!!!

Coin Control

Coin control allows greater control of how you send your coins, so to be more efficient and from a chronologic point-of-view. While not required, this is more necessary for PoS coins, because you wouldn't want to send coins to someone if they were just about to stake and especially if you had other coins that had just finished staking.

How to use it:

First, you have to enable coin control. Run your wallet and let it sync. Next, click Settings --> Options --> Display. Click the box next to "Display Coin Control Features (experts only!). Click Apply, then OK. Click on the "Send Coins" tab. You should now have a "Coin Control Features" box, if not, restart your wallet. Clicking "Inputs..." allows you to view the dates for all of the deposits you have made into your wallet, and for PoS coins, it allows you to see when the coins last moved within your wallet (for example, staking moves them by sending them to yourself, this is done automatically and normally splits the original amount into halves via two transactions). Use the "tree and list" modes to suit your viewing needs. The priority column is telling you which coins are next in line to be used, whether for staking or sending.

Note: More transactions in your wallet takes more time to load the coin control box. Have patience, it will load. Doing anything else within the wallet might make your wallet freeze temporarily until it is done loading the coin control box. Even though your operating system (windows, mac, etc, etc) might state the wallet has become unresponsive, it is still loading, just wait.

Note: Navigating in the coin control box can get confusing if looking for a certain wallet address. Because PoS splits the original value into two values when staking, it is possible to gain additional addresses that you aren't aware of. Use the explorer to find your keys and trace your transactions in question.

Note: The fee associated with sending coins via coin control may or may not be equivalent to the dialog box that asks "if you want to send 'x' OC fee to support the network". When in doubt, the dialog box fee supercedes the stated coin control fee.

Note: Coins that are staking are not be able to be viewed in Coin Control until they finish confirming.

Did I miss anything? Only spent 45-60 minutes on it so far.

Can I mine this coin with an ASIC?

No you cannot, this is in pure 100% POS. Mining was completed a year plus ago check OP.

Since it wasn't based on a calender year, what was the actual day when staking switched from 20% to 10%?
