No ... Staking is something u do in at your bank/node, like bank interest.

Mobile wallets are just that ... mobile cash.


Also staking requires good connections to the network, and some power to do it.
This is not something u need or want on your mobile unit.

Also, bringing your whole stash with you doesnt seem too wise.
You know... all eggs in one basket thing.

Also staking requires good connections to the network, and some power to do it.

    Consider the feasibility of staking from an Android wallet.

    The moment staking from an Android wallet becomes doable, would inevitably become the moment staking from an Android wallet becomes infeasible -- due to reasonable anticipated exponential growth in the PoS difficulty brought on by historically non-staking balances suddenly adopting an Android wallet to start staking.

    The inherent contradiction here becomes - yes we do want staking to protect the network - yes we do want the PoS difficulty to increase and for the blocks to become more full of transactions, leading to fewer reorganizations.  At the same, obtaining this result would undesirably make staking less attractive for an Android user who happens to only open the wallet once in a while here and there.

    However, if all the users ran their staking clients all of the time; we would have a good target PoS difficulty; maximizing transactions in blocks; fewer reorganizations and hence less data usage for an Android client in that they would have fewer blocks to receive and transmit with less overhead.

    The Android hardware "is there" these days, with regard to available memory and computational power.
    Some users want to stake on Android and they are stakeholders too, so their opinion is valuable.
    I do like how the community is sharing the warning about just carrying small balances on mobile devices.

    It seems like this portion of the thread is a good time to reiterate how important staking is for the overall health of the network and how everyone relies upon it now that the PoW phase has ended.

Some community members have expressed interest in staking EverGreenCoin on Android devices that are not mobile phones. Beyond that, many point of sales devices run on Android.

If I can provide Android users options, I would like to. Of course, users would be advised of pros and cons in effort to guide them to selecting the fitting wallet for their device and needs.

    Good point, I hadn't really considered how prolific Android emergence has become beyond the mobile phone...

I dont think this is something u want on a device running on batteries... wired power is another story, as they are most likely permanently on and connected.

I dont think this is something u want on a device running on batteries... wired power is another story, as they are most likely permanently on and connected.

I can see people wanting to stake it on an old phone plugged in as it uses way less power than a conventional PC or laptop. I'm also wondering how much power is required to stake, if its just a token amount running in a background process, maybe it wont have much of an impact on battery life.

[Gizfreak]

A staking Android wallet is not so important, but I could use it well to stake with my Android TV stick (10W) 24/7 with the use of 2 solar power packs.
Staking on a mobile device doesn't make any sense imo.

Looking at the wallet daemon on my CHIP it's not using much cpu at a time, however it's continuously running (and presumably as part of staking would need to so that it can keep up with the block chain). Keeping the cpu and data connections active will be something that impacts battery life (being able to suspend the data connections and CPU is the best way of saving battery power).

That said, for people that want a low power staking setup the planned hardware for the Solar Staker would probably fit their needs just as well as an always powered android device (My test setup is currently running at about 2W).

my wllet is offline plz provide me nodes

You do not need nodes. The 7 seednodes are hardcoded into the wallet, discovering peers via the seednodes is best. Are you running version 1.3?

i am using this version evergreencoin-qt-win-v1.3.0.0

i need because my wallet in syncing mode since 3.10.2016
it stucked on block 653741

and 0 avtive conection

Nodes is not your problem. It is more probable you need to resync your wallet.

Follow these steps:

1, Close your EverGreenCoin wallet.
2, Navigate to %appdata%/EverGreenCoin within Windows Explorer. (otherwise stated, C:\Users\<Windows User>\AppData\Roaming\EverGreenCoin)
3, Delete everything in that folder except your wallet.dat file.
4 (optional), follow: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1378653.msg15797264#msg15797264 to load a snapshot. This might be faster than snycing over the network.
5, Launch the wallet.

thanks sir

WALLET stuck again at block 724663 what to do now?

There seems to be a bit of disruption in the network although it is recovering. If you still have no connections the steps that might be worth trying are:

• restarting the wallet (and maybe your pc)
• stop the wallet, remove the peers.dat file and then re-start it.
• remove the whole block chain (as described above) and re-sync

It would be worth waiting a while between each of  those options (maybe an hour to see if they work). As long as you get a few connections you should start syncing to the network.

Hello,

    Today, when this happened; after doing a bit of checking on block hashes and such - eventually I restarted evergreencoind with a few additional arguments.

    -checklevel=6 -checkblocks=0 -rescan

    The above may be overkill but is comprehensive.
    See the evergreencoind --help output for full descriptions of those arguments before employing them.

Best Regards,

i have 9 active connections.
i tried restarting wallet
i tried remove peers.dat but wallet not syncing
i dint wana remove whole blocj chain every time.


is there any other solution?

Possibly just wait, If you've got connections you can hopefully find the rest of the network. As I mentioned above a few of us noticed some disruption on the network (lower than normal levels of connections) so it may just need a bit of time (probably a few hours) to recover.

I don't see anything weird here tbh

I don't see anything weird here tbh

...

Yes, all the seednodes do appear fine also. I too noticed a lower connection count about 24 hours ago but, only < 10 fewer than the normal on average across the seednodes.  Though they do seem to be returning to normal levels now.

I have moved a more recent snapshot to our web server, http://evergreencoin.org/729617snap.zip should anyone need it. Snapshotting is much faster than re-syncing over the network. Though you do have to download 1 large (~500 MB) file first. Follow these instrustions, but use the more recent snapshot I have linked as opposed to the one linked in those instructions.

I have moved a fresh peers.dat with 38 peers as well to http://evergreencoin.org/peers.dat should that be useful to anyone with a low connection count. Remember, 1) close your wallet. 2) overwrite peers.dat 3) launch your wallet. 4) patience.

Sorry to those experiencing any issue. Measures are being actively taken to further strengthen the network and myself and community members are investigating in-depth and monitoring closely. Of course, thanks to those assisting and offering help to others.

hi all ...

if all goes well - we should have 12 seednodes up and running by tomorrow afternoon ( gold coast - queensland - australia time ) and a total of 16 from the cwi network fully functional ...

always in contact with steven - always working together - always keeping an eye on whats happening ...

we will strengthen this backbone - one full node at a time - one constantly running daemon at a time - one open wallet at a time ...

together - we make good on the strength that is the community and network that keeps this project moving forward ...

have some patient - and hope that everything works out with the compilations and the syncs ... we really are doing our best to keep up ...

and of course you have an awesome dev overseeing all this ...

i did what u said i am getting this error

i downloaded this file http://evergreencoin.org/729617snap.zip

and delete these files n folders

Then Delete 4  files :  .lock & blk0001.dat & db.log & debug.log
Then Delete 2 folders named : database & txleveldb

and unzip that files n folders

Hi shadabhmed, sorry for the slow response, I was away from my desk.

I did test the snapshot locally and it did work as expected. The steps you mentioned do sound correct. I am doing some additional testing now to see if I can isolate a problem. Again, sorry for the slow response and for the issue you are experiencing.
