Thank you for providing a block explorer, much appreciated.
Have some merit on me

Yobit wallet again in maintenance mode since week. Asking when they will re-enable I got this reply from them:

Dear User!

Support answer:

Wallet  is on maintenance.
The solution to this cryptocurrency will take some time, need to update the wallet.
We apologize for any inconvenience

Hopefully Novaexchange reopens soon..

[psycodad]

Novaexchange has just re-enabled deposits on all coins for its existing users.
Finally again an exchange with working deposits and withdrawals!

Yay!

[fragilefungi]

wallet tends to crash easily lately, both linux and win,
no exchange can tolerate that for long

I did notice that my linux wallet did crash yesterday and had to be restarted.  It has been pretty stable running on my orange pi over the last few months though.  The windows wallet seems to be fairly stable once it is synced, although when it is loading blocks it does seem to crash.  My biggest complaint about the windows wallet is that it seems to use a lot of cpu resources and stops responding/hangs up/lags.

Mining on this coin is currently over 540MH/s so it is far from dead.

I had a few coins that I sent to yobit 5 weeks ago when the wallet was on maintenance that got confirmed yesterday.  This is very interesting because it means that their wallet was syncing blocks recently and therefore was connected to someone.  The yobit wallet worked so well for so long it is sad.  It might have something to do with the connections that their wallet is making.  Yobit exchange wallets do not accept incoming connections and the nodes have to be hard-coded into the wallet. If the wallet that yobit tries to connect to is down, their wallet will remain down.

I run one of three seed nodes for genstake and mine has been constantly up and accepting connections all the time. Right now I have 13 connections on this node, all incoming.
Yobit has a long tradition of holding coins in maintenance for weeks and months, often these coins then get pumped while deposits and withdraws are disabled.

Also my genstake node runs perfectly stable since day 1. But if you also stake it takes up quite a bit of resources, I would say you need at least 2-3GB RAM dedicated to genstake wallet and also the staking does use a good amount of cpu load (like every staking coin!).

I only use the windows wallet to manage it now.  The orange pi pc+ I am using has 1 gb of ram and only cost $30 with the case.  The power consumption and hardware cost is so low that I feel that it is worth the investment to have dedicated hardware for all staking wallets.

I totally agree with you about yobit.  I think there is a chance that their wallet works perfectly fine, but they just lost some coins to dice and are keeping it offline until they make it back staking.

The number of connections that you have makes me think that it could be a problem with the wallet.  I used to always be able to get over 10 connections.  My windows wallet has been open a day now and it only has 4 connections, and one of those is me.  The linux wallet only had 2 connections until I did getpeerinfo on the windows wallet and added them to the .conf file on the linux wallet with connect=

Could you please post a node list of the ips that print out when you do getpeerinfo?

[Lightsplasher]

I usually run with UPnP on and get 12 or more connections.  I noticed some crashing lately and had difficulty getting the wallet running until I turned UPnP off and ran with just three connections.  Things seem to be working now.  Perhaps there was a node that had some issue, I don't know.

Any staking wallet that has been staking on the same address for a long time will gradually start using more memory and CPU.  Your orphan rate will start rising too as the computer can't keep up with things.  The fix is pretty simple, I may post an article on Steemit about this.

As for the exchanges, NOVA was not accepting deposits last I checked but hopefully they will be back soon.  I hope eventually this coin will be on some decentralized exchange at some point, I think that would be good for PoS coins in general based on experiences I've seen with some exchanges (Cryptsy, etc.)

[fragilefungi]

fix explorer please, can't check if forked or not

https://prohashing.com/explorer/Genstake/ is semi-functional and up to date.  I am connected to their wallet node and the block height is correct, although they are running an older version of the wallet.  The search transaction box works.  Search for transaction you have mined or minted and it works.  The address box doesn't always work.  Even if you click on your address in a block that you have found, the address page could show no transactions for a year.  Some addresses don't seem to have this problem.  I tried my yobit address and it didn't have any transactions for a year either, even though I have had transactions verified in the past week.

The PoW coins mined shown are the same high difficulty that I see with getmininginfo where there is 600+MH/s on netmhashps, so I am pretty confident that this is the correct chain.  You can connect to this node(and mine) by editing your genstake.conf file and adding the lines:

connect=coins.prohashing.com:6267
connect=157.161.128.53
connect=24.128.132.71

If your wallet has existing connections you can see those with the getpeerinfo command and add those as well.  I think that if you have connect=<ip> set in the .conf file it won't try to connect elsewhere, so add those to the file before you stop and start your wallet again.  My windows wallet shows the peer [2001:4060:4419:1::53]:9341 but I can't figure out how to connect to this using connect=.  It would be nice if the wallet had the addnode command.

Unfortunately my node list wouldn't help much when they all are incoming connections from (non-public, non-listening) nodes as you won't be able to open a connection to them.
Since my last post connections have constantly decreased and are now at 6 connections.

I decided to setup another seed node and add it to dns to further avoid the possibility of splits/forks. No need to add any addnodes to your config, your client should find them and from there your node should get more addressess to try to connect to.

...
connect=coins.prohashing.com:6267
connect=157.161.128.53
connect=24.128.132.71
...

I would strongly suggest not to use connect=, the command line help says:

Code:

-connect=<ip>          Connect only to the specified node(s)

Emphasis is on only which is probably not what you want.

If then addnode= should be your choice probably:

Code:

-addnode=<ip>          Add a node to connect to and attempt to keep the connection open

But sine now one of the three seed address in the wallet points to four working IP addresses you should actually need nothing at all to get connected.

HTH

i have no probs with connections or anything,
meant only fix this please:
http://blockexplorer.genstake.com/
as it was supposed to be the main one,
so if the chain forks i have some reference

I think the current BE is maintained by midnightminer:

http://g3n.midnightminer.net/

But unfortunately it keeps crashing and is often not uptodate (right now it seems stuck on 16th April).

The one you quoted seems abandoned long ago, as well as the website www.genstake.com.

you've probably missed discord, check it out
everything on that domain was functional recently, then again dropped

Last time I tried to join discord they wanted a phone number from me which is completely unacceptable.
I hope those of us who steer clear of discord will still get regular updates here on bct!

wow, how did you manage to do that lol ?
never asked me phone number.

in short, around 18 Mar Gribbly made these:
addnode=node1.genstake.com, node2.genstake.com, node3.genstake.com, node4.genstake.com
and blockexplorer.genstake.com
it all worked for some time, then went south

Dunno... it either disliked my Firefox plugins (noscript,requestpolicy) or had some griefs against my ip. In any case, it turned me away instantly 

Thanks for the update. I wonder what HORT is doing lately, at one time in the past we were promised updates on the wallet.

Hopefully midnightminer kicks his BE to get it rolling again.

 I hope it will be successful. Have a nice day for the project

Hi!Im prefer hodl,u can get more profit by hodl and less time investment doing  bountys  and hodl all coins what u get,  if one of them x2 or x10 just trade them and change to another more expensiv token  or what u prefer best,dont like much trading becose risk is by losing ur money.

[hasbdzb8382]

If you depend your needs on that thing? Then you screwed up. We wont know on when bounty would be gone but it do somehow last since theres still projects do really need to do marketing.

[crunck]

I love this coin, and have all ways held some of these, time to get some more i think
