First question: 10000 blocks for for this large block reward makes for about three hours of mining. Is it already over at the time of writing?
The bounty is 50 million ATM
Looks like the Windows wallet is now available at
https://github.com/Flapmin/FLAPsp2WinQt so no more bounty. It would be nice to get my build environment set up regardless. Can you send me the MinGW builds for boost, db4.8, etc. or connect me with the person who has these?
Likely doesn't matter so much with flappy right at the moment, since all the nodes are in the room so to speak, just wanted to point out the disconnect thing is potentially hairy
Thanks Blurb. This is helpful.
It followed the update to litecoin core which went from 70002 to 70003 , many coins out there didn't use the newer litecoin code, thus the many 70002 versions.
From what I can tell, although the latest litecoin source broadcasts protocol version 70015, its
MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION is still 70002 so it doesn't mess up p2pool and other standard tools like we're seeing with flappycoin.
version.h:static const int GETHEADERS_VERSION = 70002;
version.h:static const int MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION = GETHEADERS_VERSION;
strattum connection refused on the pool all ports.
Isn't stratum for pooling only? Seems like we need to get our solo wallets (Mac, Linux, and required source code) working first after this large change.
edit:
The protocol version now says 1111337. Remember that protocol versions increase sequentially, so if we go to that one now every future protocol version has to have at least 7 digits. We still have 3 digits to go before hitting maxint, but this seems a bit reckless.
As for running the wallet, it says two hours behind and I'm stuck at block 779980, I have only one proto version 1111337 peer at:
getpeerinfo
[
{
"addr" : "94.61.193.156:11556",
...
"version" : 1111337,
..
}
]
and
http://blockcrawler.rf.gd/index.php?i=1 says it's also still downloading the blockchain.
Hope this doesn't sound crazy, but given the situation (what Blurb said regarding disconnects, having more protocol 91137 nodes at the moment, the fact that somehow we got convinced to download a wallet without source code, and general bugs which would be easier to troubleshoot on a single chain), could I get the room to consider
not forking? If the only intent of this is to resolve the transaction fees we already know we can do that without a fork. Checkpointing and building a cleaner Windows wallet can also be done regardless.
