[ANN] official NovaCoin thread - the original PoS+scrypt coin.

Warning is still up?

$ /opt/novacoin/novacoind getcheckpoint
{
    "synccheckpoint" : "000000000095433bed37d66e6ba5f7f25319b55729d9c576caefcc5b98ca5df3",
    "height" : 12764,
    "timestamp" : "2013-03-27 06:48:51 UTC"
}

I sent 1 nvc to that address as a test and it didn't show up. any ideas?

If it was unconfirmed transaction, try to force unconfirmed transactions re-broadcasting:

Code:

novacoind resendtx

I think that it will appear soon, but we can check it. Can you publish the txid?

If it's confirmed transaction, it will appear during block chain sync.

That worked! except now it says info: minting suspended due to locked wallet? Will it be able to accept payments? Thanks for the help.

Yes, you are able to process payments.

[maunderingcabal]

looks like it's working, what a quirky wallet.

Blockchain snapshot from windows client was published at sourceforge.

[SRoulette]

v0.3.3 released. This release fixes entropy bit calculation problem, which was discovered yesterday.

Sources: https://github.com/CryptoManiac/novacoin/
Binary builds: https://sourceforge.net/projects/novacoin/files/

You need to update your nodes as soon as possible, otherwise you risk to be affected by blockchain fork which will happen soon (deadline is approximately ~30.03.2013) for unfixed clients.

P.S. Thanks to SunnyKing for help with investigating this issue.  

Thanks to both Sunny and Balthazar for the quick warning and fix
We are re-downloading the blockchain now with the newest client.

[Balthazar]

It seems that almost all p2pool users ignored this warning. I don't understand how they can be so irresponsible. %)

P.S. khore & nvcpool updated to 0.3.3.

[Balthazar]

Accidentally uploaded the wrong Linux build to SourceForge. I'll upload the correct one few hours later.

BTC-E updated successfully.

[Balthazar]

Current status:

• Almost all new PoS blocks solved by updated clients
• Approx. 50% from new PoW blocks solved by old clients

[SRoulette]

Just curious, what does this mean:

Code:

ERROR: ProcessBlock() : duplicate proof-of-stake (COutPoint(b0889ba77b, 0), 1364497018) for block 9edca6662bb97ab9d22416527e2ba3c0dd64dcb199635015689afaf07132ac8d

Everything OK or do we needto fix something ?

Thanks

Sometimes it happens due to extremely low difficulty. It will disappear after blocks v3 majority threshold (950 v3 blocks from last 1000 blocks).

Thanks again Balthazar, keep up the great work.

We found these errors while grepping debug.log looking for any stakes, none yet but we will keep hoping

[Balthazar]

IsSuperMajority() : Last 500 blocks has nVersion = 3

It will be more easy to find stakes by using listtransactions RPC. They listed as "immature" and "generate" transactions.

It has testnet support, but there are no nodes online yet. You can start 2 clients with -testnet option and it will create "testnet" for you.

EDIT: Created 2 testnet nodes, so you can start mining testnet blocks or another testing.

[Balthazar]

P2Pool is updated to support v3 blocks:

Sources tree: https://github.com/CryptoManiac/p2pool
Win32 py2exe: http://sourceforge.net/projects/novacoin/files/p2pool_win32_14f.zip/download

Only ~ 200 blocks left to v3 lock-in.

I have setup a Novacoin test net node on the cryptocoinexplorer server.

Ip address: 84.200.84.74

I should have one up in a little bit on the future mining site cryptocoinmine.com

Ip address: 84.200.84.76



Just Add:

addnode=84.200.84.74

addnode=84.200.84.76

In the novacoin.conf file to have the daemon automatically try to connect to those nodes.

[Balthazar]

I'll add this into pnSeed tomorrow.

You are correct, something went wrong. Trying to investigate it now.

Issue seems to be resolved. Restart your client if you still see this message.

UPDATE: But I'll release new builds today.
