proof of stake works
BUT
0%
--
not bad if no HF

[Spidersbox]

Bitbar is a little strange -
for stake rewards, all amounts after the 2nd decimal are dropped.
so if your reward was .009 - you get 0

not sure why the earlier dev(s) did it that way

I may change that - been thinking about changing the coinage to 7 days instead of 30, which will make the pos rewards smaller, but more often.

anyway - it is a good reason to use coin control to recombine the small blocks of coins in to larger one(s)

7 bitbar for 32 days got me a 0.00 stake. kinda frustrating actually. seems to be designed to discourage small holders.
also presumably PoS is intended to keep wallets online and being helpful to the network, yet if i have to keep my wallet offline 60 or 90 days before i can get any sort of stake, it seems to defeat the whole point of having PoS.

Also BTB seems to fork regulary.
It's the third time now I had to resync from scratch and again down from 5 to 2 coins.

Thinking about giving up on that one.

I chose to stay and I have not tried syncing my wallet until recently (I was stressed out, but came back to see if I could sync it). I love Bitbar and stay because it is something I truly like. I did not sell any at all during the time Bitcoin (BTC) was near $20,000 and liked that feeling (I have over 11.5 of them and have not sold any). So now... this is nothing truly bad, certain people I know are actually discovering new things and ways to complete the coin. Digital coins are fun and I hope we can get a new American made blockchain to fight against the BTC blockchain from Luxembourg.

My wallet status:

WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers.


First off, I do see that the block amounts on the end (the later amounts) are changing and that means that I am connected. If you have the connections bars, and there are changes of some sort, then everything shall end up well like Litebar did.


I think the developers are high end and they believe we do not leave the wallet on a lot (with the profit here, it may mean this is an individual responsibility, not their server or miners).


To fix this (which I have not actually, just trying to keep us going) you would need to keep it on a while and figure out more.



I think if you keep it on long enough, it will download or sync a layer of it and then your first set of numbers shall begin to increase. So if you leave your wallet open, after a number of days, it should come back because certain people I think here have gotten it done that way.


Now if you are new, in December of last year everything was fine with it and they had accounced a fix for it not syncing beforehand. I have had problems since March of this year, where I could not sync it and am not wanting to enter code to do so.

P.S.

I do not actually fix this coin the way they do, but I have already deleted it and it does not seem to matter. Which in my final thoughts, I believe that I know what I am doing at my tier of knowledge against the developer(s).

Even further though, I have added more information and I am at (90.70% done). This number also increased over time, so I think the proper method is just leaving it open just like you would do with BC (BLK).

(BTC then I went into BlackCoin second)


I give honors to Spidersbox (Bitbar) and also rat4 (BlackCoin).

[BlackGod]

A number of days after that I continued to solely turn my PC on to download the blockchain and I am over 95% done. It feels like it is working!

I have an i7 4790K CPU and a NVidia 970.

When I turn on my PC the only thing that I am doing is opening the wallet and letting it sync.

some people do have problems with it syncing, not sure why.
for most people it only takes an hour or so.

Did I mention that there is a new Bitbar wallet out?
I added themes, and fixed the stake reward display in the transactions list.

Oh this is excellent!

why was the default p2p port changed from 8777 to 7777 ?
7777 clashes with Novacoin

people may also have firewalls and routers previously configured for 8777 and not 7777 and perhaps contributing
to syncing problems.

[Spidersbox]

default port is 8777
you can check your wallet using
getpeerinfo

on closer examination of the source i see the port has not actually changed.
however, the usage/help message *has*, and that threw me off..

Code:

diff -r bitbar-0.7.5.1/src/init.cpp bitbar-0.7.6.2/src/init.cpp

I don't think that has ever been changed - lol
must have been like that for a long time.
I'll fix that for the next update

there are several minor changes in init.cpp compared to v0.7.5.1

did an exceptionally old version get rolled forward into the git repository somehow? (a really old checkout checked back in?)

[dnp]

i'm seeing a lot of these in the debug.log (and my sync is stuck after block 296759 way back on sep.23rd 11:33:33)

is this why many are having troubles syncing?


by the way,  added the following to checkpoints.cpp using info from https://prohashing.com/explorer/Bitbar/

Code:

        ( 200000, uint256("0x0000000001fc2837a93e688d504032a9d7a230fc99c7dcaa638fdc4adabc89f7"))

        ( 250000, uint256("0x000000000013f978b8a8c5527bd5ae32e7d7208cc4e5795747f2b032aa8d6610"))
        ( 275000, uint256("0x00000000000881db3d71ae6849df642221a3c2086860b240a602abad73b43051"))
        ( 300000, uint256("0x000000000011ebd21945b69b21ec2817b83aa1a241adc715947c90a1366363fc"))

sometimes the wallets hit a little snag when syncing, specially during the initial sync.
If you notice it stall for a minute or two, just restart the wallet.

I haven't heard of any forks, so I don't think that would be a problem.

whats the staking rate of  BitBar coin ?
I don't have proper system so I am looking some online pool for it.
so can some please tell me whats the staking % of its and online pool for staking .
lets make example if I have 2000 BitBar  coin how much I will get per day or week or else..
Any response would be appreciated.

Bitbar PoS is 5% annual and coinage is 30 days
so 2000 BTB should stake about 8.3 BTB a month

I am not aware of any pools.
just about any pc (windows,mac, linux) will work for staking.
