[ANN] [CAID] CoinAid - Pure POS 60% Per Year.......

Yes, wallet.dat on this coin tends to grow big - chain stakes too often with many micro stakes.

I have modified my wallet, so it doesn't split inputs, otherwise my PC just cannot handle it...

It is about normal for most PoS. You can modify the wallet easily enough. But it is not a solution long term.

My anecdotal one-man experience is thee modified wallets stake less altcoins than when you let them go free.

Annoying is when you don't bother and get the "contested transactions" because you have different addresses in the wallet staking.

For PoS, I tend to just change wallet every 3 months or so. It stops the build up of tiny staking, but the downside is it can take a day or two to transfer the coins due to the sodding contested transactions (which eventually sort themselves out).

PoS is easy to develop, though. But it requires at least 2 or 3 staking wallets with a good proportion of coins to ensure it sustains. Ifthat happens, at leasst the PoW mining headache does not have to be endurd.

Anyway, Coinaid is dead. The url has not been renewed, hence it being at Godaddy. It will come up for sale soon with other dropped domains, and if not bought will be free to register.

Just pinging, to see if there is anybody here..

Is this coin just a Yobit trading toy, or there might be hope for having blockchain working?

Anybody have seen crunck lately?

[Tortoise75]

Well, since I posted here the thread still shows up if someones posts here.

The blockchain is still dragging itself along, but I don't know when it was out of maintenance on Yobit the last time or if it will be ever again. So it's best to consider this coin as a enclosed Yobit trading toy indeed.

No, nothing from Crunck I'd know of since a few months.

Yeah, so its Yobits trading toy... But I am not sure what to do with the CAID in my local wallet. There is quite a big amount there (though as there is no block explorer, and no money supply shown via RPC, I'm not sure what percentage of this useless stuff I actually hold  ).

If somebody would like to revive this, PM me, I would probably donate pretty noticable amount to the brave guy (though girls are more than welcome too ) who dares to give this coin a second chance...

Would be nice indeed if it got a second, more successfull, life. About coin amount, it was 100M at the start and I can see a bit less than 70M on sell orders in Yobit. It doesn't looks like that the majority of the coins was staking for long so I'd actually be surprised if the total amount would be way more than 130 million even after all that time and 60% APR.

I had some spare time on weekend, so have installed a block explorer to finally find the total supply
You were quite correct, the actual supply is about 138M right now. I can give you the link to explorer while it is still running, if you would like to take a look.

But looks like we have a bigger problem with the chain now - seems like it has stopped few days ago on block 650185. Two of my wallets are not moving, and the one installed on public VPS gets constant errors like this:

Code:

Another poss. is if there was a seed node, it could have expired.

Very odd!

[Tortoise75]

That should've been me testing if I'm on a fork. The high one would be my normal wallet, the other my last saved chain trying to sync blocking my own wallet (since both are running on the same PC they don't seem to see each other and only connect to the tablet if I do a addnode with internal network IP) and the third the tablet syncing up freely.

The tablet chose my normal wallet, the blocked probably synced up from you and stopped. So our (main) wallets are on slightly different chains. No problem if it wasn't for:

Code:

Those are my peers. The IP of the lower one I get in quite some wallets and I suspect it might be Yobit related. Giving the startingheigt it looks like it's on an old fork which might explain the maintenance. I am currently syncing up one wallet from scratch. Once near that block I'll try -connect to listen only to that one. Would like to do it sooner but unfortunately syncing stops after 500 blocks or so and just continues after a wallet restart with that one. But I want to see if Yobit comes out of maintenance if someone is synced with it.

Edit: OK, one wallet is connected and syncing only from that low chain. Another should be running and staking on your chain. I need some sleep, let's see how it looks tomorrow.
Edit2: Not finished syncing and that peer is now startingheight" : 351984, so it seems to be syncing too now.

How its going? It looks like your setup with two wallets on the same PC + tablet  (probably all behind the same NAT router) is creating those issues and sometimes forks the network
That node is not Yobit, I know that for sure, because that is my node, which I was trying to re-sync again . Yobit wallet doesn't seem to be active, I suspect they just stopped it (why to eat server resources, when they can stop the wallet and just trade those coins with wallets being in fake 'maintenance' forever?).

[Tortoise75]

I'm synced up to the same version of chain like you are and the chain moves, but else nothing much.

It does need close attention. That those two wallets on the PC don't connect to each other and thus rely on a 3rd wallet to keep synced can cause issues, especially in combination with block flooding if too much staking weight gets released at once and the wallets easily becoming unresponsive up to the point of breaking connection. So I usually only use it as backup if the chain stalls.

That explains quite a lot if it's your node. Seems you're not easily abandon a chain as well and either you run quite a lot or we get attracted by the same coins. Have you any idea how to connect to Yobit? Other exchanges usually make it quite easy but I have quite some trouble figuring out Yobits wallets.

I am not sure how to connect to Yobit. In fact, I think they do not have any wallet running. But CAID wallets needs to be taken out of maintenance somehow, or alternatively it needs to be listed on different exchange.
Did you get the PM's I sent?

OK, that might be a problem. I don't have one or the code. Drays runs a modified wallet to keep input splitting at bay so he might still have a copy or his branch of the source code. If not CoinAid is listed as in some way used by TillKoeln so he might have a copy. Contacting Crunck might be difficult but perhaps he reemerges again, he used to in the past.

@Drays: Yes, I notice I got a PM. Sorry, I'm not that often online due to time constraints and BTT isn't really big in notifying new PMs it seems.

Not sure why Crunck deleted the sources on his Github... That guy's actions are unclear to me. Never thought he would be so cheap to deal this way with this project... but well, lets leave him alone.

And - yep, I have the sources locally (I almost always backup wallets and sources for the most coins I own from start ). Ready to send them to anyone who asks here or in PM!

New ANN coming..  Github has modified version by drays..

Yes, wallet.dat on this coin tends to grow big - chain stakes too often with many micro stakes.

I have modified my wallet, so it doesn't split inputs, otherwise my PC just cannot handle it...
