... Rich people among the regular folk?
I got my pitchfork right by my side...

Why is cryptsy sending invalid transactions? are they using an old client or something?

I made two transactions from cryptsy recently (2500 ANC + 2500 ANC) both unconfirmed for a long time. Invalid?

PS: I'm looking to buy 10-20k ANC, please contact me if interested in doing a deal outside of cryptsy.

Can you give me the tx? or ask craptsy to rebroadcast the tx. once i see it, il include it in a block.
No, it seems they have patched/adjusted their anoncoind to allow bigger than allowed txs with too few fee too.

Gee, well i am sorry to hear that; the slippage should take your price up to ~$2/coin at least ...

For sure, i'd like to hold 2% of all anoncoins atm ...

Where were you 2 weeks ago ?

[risefromtheashes74]

I seem to be stuck on block #236310 & have been for days. It's been a couple weeks since I opened the wallet & hadn't had any issues before. Any ideas what might be the issue?

If you are connected to enough nodes and tried restarting ... and waited long enough, there are 2 things you can do. Resynch or Delete the blockchain.

Windows:
HomeFolder -> AppData ->Roaming -> Anoncoin -> Delte "Blocks"
Linux:
~/.anoncoin -> delete "blocks"


My guess is that you didn't wait long enough for the program to find the blocks and closed it before..

I deleted the blockchain yesterday, & let it run all night. It got stuck @ 3 weeks back. Luckily I backed up the block chain & am back to block #236310 which is 12 day back.
Prior to that, I had just let it run for a couple days in the background hoping it would eventually sync.
Going through the debug file, I see nothing but "connection timeout" repeatedly.

So can you see that you are connected to some nodes?

Maybe you activated i2p and are not connected to the darknet? ...Go to options, and check if you checked the box "enable i2p" if so .. uncheck it and run again.

Another thing might be... well not really, the Wallet connects to nodes via TCP port 8333


- Did you try to reinstall? =) Don't forget to backup your wallet then.

I did a re-install & wallet back-up yesterday... still no luck.
I'm running it Tor only.
Here's what my config file lookiks like. Maybe something screwy in there:

blockminsize=0
blockmaxsize=1000000
blockprioritysize=1000000
proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
rpcuser=anoncoinrpc
rpcpassword=*xxxxxxxx*
daemon=1
server=1
onlynet=tor
tor=127.0.0.1:9050
addnode=m6xwmit3jovw34r2.onion
addnode=aqmdzilaqayzjb6o.onion
addnode=sf2px26xdsqphkef.onion
addnode=wwniwxrykmk2wtcw.onion
addnode=193.150.121.28
addnode=193.150.121.24
addnode=216.158.85.123
addnode=69.147.229.226
addnode=193.150.121.66
addnode=141.0.73.226
addnode=144.76.166.163
addnode=193.150.121.69
addnode=198.199.81.74
addnode=74.65.163.191
addnode=91.178.75.205

You could add my tor address also:
ie:
addnode=45y2lyszn5qnpt3l.onion
( i'd like to see if it works )

I run tor, i2p, and clearnet, and normally have ~50 connections, but when we've had the difficulty issues i get behind too
atm i have 7 i2p peers and about 20 ipv4

fyi, the steps i follow to get up to speed are:

1. stop the daemon

2. rm .anoncoin/peers.dat

3. edit the .anoncoin/anoncoin.conf and:
add/uncomment
  discover=1
and comment
  #noirc=1 ... if set
  #proxy= ... if set

4. this way you will connect to all the clear net nodes for the sync
ie: it'll use all the interfaces to connect like eth0

5. reverse the comment process when it's sync'd

6. always check what connections you have by:
ie: /home/anoncoin $ ./anoncoin/src/anoncoind getpeerinfo | grep addr

7. look for errors too: tail -f .anoncoin/debug.log -n 1000

hope this helps

Cool, thanks!
I'm at work now, so I'll try this when I get home.
Sounds like it will probably work.
Cheers!

Here you go:

9d787b47826aed01f568b65b0225b0f19cd9ec80075ee9fb7b7664d801379d38

I think these may also be invalid:
06711afecee3a8981aa59e9edaefe5fb029f4e6264686fde3bbb6ec486dd7e65
419cc5d953fcca3cd2d09aa9b2ec07966b2f71469762b175135547802fd099e4

I tried withdraw everything at once, but the withdraw got mostly refunded and only a small part of it was actually sent (but the part they sent was confirmed).

So its yours, wait some time and you get your ANC.

Code:

$ anoncoind getrawmempool

EDIT: some others showed up, including the other two:

I've been withdrawing ANC in 2k chunks to cold storage over the last couple days and have had no problems - coins were typically hitting the blockchain after about 5-10 minutes.   

[TheKoziTwo]

Another one seem to be stuck, this one is only ~1250 ANC
d6b868e340e9b151df4c99f72a2f4151486f8e0a74eb57c75b82c6c9a5f809bc

Thanks to K1773R for mining these transactions. I have notified cryptsy support as well of this bug.

I also have this one, if you have another one, leave your wallet open. it will rebroadcast the unconfirmed txs from time to time

Im also happy about donations but no need, i'l do it for free. I think craptsy owe's me some coins...

[Simcom]

Well I'm not worried, especially considering Gnosis will be releasing daily commits as he goes.  The first of those is going to be today I think.

[Simcom]

In other news, there are actually some coins for sale on cryptsy now, maybe the trolling has brought out some sellers.  

[SmokingSkull]

Concerning this Borrowing of others...
In science, most things are borrowed, some mixed up borrowed things might even get called innovation from time to time
Especially in math we need others and already thought out techniques to reach success and develop further.

Gnosis simply adapted the idea because it seems there a few out there, the idea was good and ... done! Now he tries to use it for another purpose, there is no problem whatsoever with this.

Of course some of us have our doubts, even I do have them : ) But hey... look in the Github on the commits page

btcseller3c brings some valid criticisms though, as in science you need to be able to independently replicate an experiment or, in the case of math, a peer review in order to have your work accepted by the community. ANC would benefit a lot from an independent review of the RSA UFO project and, at a later date, of its Zerocoin implementation.

Imagine a tool that made horses run faster. Maybe something that when you flick a switch on the saddle it activates something that compresses the horse's nuts. A very useful invention for jockeys.

If someone comes along wanting to adapt that invention to cars you should hesitate. Not because the device could not be adapted to cars but because the person is adapting a tool rather than developing one.

This is actually fairly entertaining.

So, to carry the idea into practical terms, you are saying that engineers who use calculus to solve
problems shouldn't be trusted because they haven't created their owns mathematical tools for solving
engineering problems, right?

I was graphing the coin supply vs. time today (for fun  ) and noticed something odd.

I used this description in the wiki to make the graph:

Coin details
Anoncoin was originally a fork of the Litecoin source code. The creation of new coins is by the reward to miners for processing transactions into blocks that are added to the block chain, where mining is performed by proof of work using the scrypt hashing function. A total of 4.2 million coins can be mined into existence, which is 5 times less than the maximum supply of Bitcoin, and transactions are processed, on average, every 3 minutes. The current block reward is 5 ANC, and this will be halved to 2.5 on approximately January 22, 2015. The block reward distribution schedule is the following: 4.2 ANC for blocks until 42,000; 7 ANC until block 77,777; 5 ANC until block 384,377; and then halving of block rewards every 306,600 blocks (which is approximately every two years).

block   coins   block reward
1           4           4.2
42,000   176,400   4.2
77,777   426,839   7
384,377   1,959,839   5
690,977   2,726,339   2.5
997,577   3,109,589   1.25
1,304,177   3,301,214   0.625
1,610,777   3,397,027   0.3125
1,917,377   3,444,933   0.15625
2,223,977   3,468,886   0.078125
2,530,577   3,480,862   0.0390625
2,837,177   3,486,851   0.01953125
3,143,777   3,489,845   0.009765625
3,450,377   3,491,342   0.004882813
3,756,977   3,492,090   0.002441406

As you can see the max supply converges on 3.492 million not 4.2 million.  Where did I go wrong here?



The red dot is where we are currently.

This is unacceptable.

We really need a listing on Bittrex or Mintpal so we can stop trading on Cryptsy. This problem has been occurring for far too long!

[niteglider]

Well, obviously you used a tool created by someone else for some other specific purpose.

Looks like monero might be about to crash and burn

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=786201.0

If true that would leave just DRK and ANC as the only two coins with real anon-tech.
