Bottlecaps 2.1 UPDATE REQUIRED - HARDFORK JULY 4 2014 to 200% Annual PoS

[ISAWHIM]

I added a request to add CAPs to the list.

On a side-note, cryptsy is going through some issues... Be careful if place an order, canceling it may result in the coins not getting "returned", but it will cancel the order. Thus, you may not have coins to trade, until you ask them to audit your account. (Even then, they see your coins in the account, but you don't. So you still can't make trades.)

However, trading seems to work fine.

Why would you cancel an order? Because they erased all the BUY/SELL books, but didn't refund the coins. The only listings you see for coins now, are listings that were made within the last few hours. (Even if you have an old listing/order, it would never sell. (They seem to have created a whole new database for orders, by accident.)

Though, half my canceled orders have come back. My bitcoins are still 0. That is delaying me from buying more coins.

That is also why the charts got screwy... someone listed coins for 0.0000001 and purchased their own coin. Then they listed one for 0.0008 and purchased it. (That turned the spread high, making the real values look like a nice flat line. lol.)

When I pushed to get it back on coinmarketcap last month, they stated that it was taken down because our block explorer doesn't have the number of blocks found listed.

I guess we need a different block explorer.

Does someone have a copy or a link to a block explorer codebase that works? I could host it.

Created a bit of a buy wall. Should help keep the prices up.

Just make a new one, if you know how to edit the source code.

[Entz]

I will look into that.

http://bottlecaps.kicks-ass.net/block_crawler.php is up and lists the number of blocks. Shouldn't that be enough?

[ISAWHIM]

I think they actually wanted the "explorer".... that is hardly an explorer. More like a hunt-n-find...

The other one was great, but it disappeared. (Another one of the dead-links.)

I am looking into a PHP charting tool, so I can show some more realistic and useful information for some of these coins. Mostly, I want to show the trade-value with the 10K and 1K and 100 coin volume prices. In USD and BTC. Since one without the other is useless.

Seems the coin likes to be around $0.10 (Which is think is partly psychologically pounded-in by the 1-cent bottle-cap. I would rather see it at $1.00, hedged to BTC and LTC as USD-value.)

That is my goal.

I have turned my initial $2000 into about $4400 in the last few days, trading BTC and other alts. When the price drops again, per BTC, I will swipe-up more BTC to continue buying CAPs. I have thrown-up a small sell-wall, as if it were ever going to get that high in the immediate future... to help ensure the rise doesn't look like a pump again. That erroneous sell of 0.0008 should be off the charts soon enough to begin actually being able to read the values.

The CCE3 explorer (cap.cryptocoinexplorer.com) has only been down for a couple of hours...geesh  

The CCE explorers have had issues at various times today due to some upgrades happening on the VPS hosting end. VPS servers have been up and down (CCE is spread across five).

I do not have control of the VPS hosting, so there is not much I can do about it at the moment, but hopefully the VPS will be back up soon.

[dreamwatcher]

And that VPS just came up as I was typing the last response...

http://cap.cryptocoinexplorer.com/

Hopefully they are done with the upgrades on the VPS hosting side.

My prior post was not to you... There was another block-crawler that was a dead link. (Like your format a little more.)

So is there any more input about rebranding, or against rebranding... I really need an answer with permanence, before I spend time and money on a website and actual marketing.

If we neutralize it to just CAP, that can allow secondary marketing and image, keeping the coin-machine as just that... a coin generator, wallet, and method of delivery. (If the GUI could be skinned, that would be a big bonus.)

Has a nice ring to it. Definitely need to drop the bottle portion regardless imo.


Someone just dumped > 15k in one go, took my mini wall in 1 shot

That's OK, I am buying... got some BTC from GOX finally showing back Cryptsy. I am still having trouble with the chart, and my bot hasn't been watching since cryptsy upgraded the new hardware and trade-code. Wait, 15K as in $$$ or coins?

How high was your wall? Since the charts got buggy because cryptsy made everyone relist orders, the coins have been bot-sniped to hell. lol. I will put my anti-bot back online when I buy more BTC again.

[Entz]

15k coins.

[ISAWHIM]

At the moment, only about 0.00003500 and lower is safe... On the high side, 0.00012000 is safe for walls. (I won't buy over $0.10 per coin until I have some definitive path for the coin. Just don't expect me to buy everyone's coins for life!

15K... That's a decent wall... Someone has got to be cashing-out on all the low buys they got, or they were easy-mined or easy-trades. Well, now they are not around to haunt us. Sell wisely if you must, but you might want to wait for BTC's next big peak. I smell $3000 coming around the corner. I keep seeing listings of 10K BTC buy-walls, all pushing up. (Pumping?) Though, $3000 is the next realistic high, by miners-debt. xD

P.S. BTC is creepy right now... sooo still... It is like there is a lion ready to jump on prey, and I can't tell if it is going to devour USD or devour BTC... It's like a stale-mate. Whoever lists the largest volume first, is going to loose the bull-bear war. I am actually afraid to place a buy order, or a sell order for BTC. (And that never scares me. I make money going up or down.)

[ISAWHIM]

Sustainer-bot now active... (For lack of something better to call it.)

I only have 4 BTC to play with, as the rest is on hold for trading, so I can make more money to buy more to trade. (Oh, the irony of palindromes.)

When I get more free time, I will make my bot more aggressive. However, aggression usually just drains my wallet. xD I would rather give people a reason to trade, and/or hold, while expanding the disposable-loss market to a consumer-base.

[ISAWHIM]

Is cryptsy broken again, or are BTC transfers still all blocked-up? This stupid thing has been pending for almost two hours now. This is so frustrating.

Also, is it time to reset the block-crawler connections are only up to 10, I show only 8 (as usual).

I have what I believe to be the latest Win wallet for BottleCaps (CAP), retrieved from:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0V-7FME2rcyd254QXUtNjZwSWs/edit?usp=sharing

as noted on this thread.

Here is my Bottlecaps.conf file:

listen=1
addnode=50.137.233.14
addnode=69.10.44.115
addnode=192.64.86.238
addnode=92.5.104.102
addnode=24.249.152.169
addnode=69.147.229.226
addnode=64.251.188.32

addnode=62.32.16.8
addnode=173.19.90.231
addnode=108.168.2.51

The first 3 nodes are the primary nodes noted in the post, and the rest are from:

http://bottlecaps.kicks-ass.net/peers.php

These were added during my FOUR downloads of the blockchain, all of which have concluded with the message:

"WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Redownload Blockchain. If warning persist contact the Development Team"

I am really tired of redownloading the blockchain.   

Help?

[ISAWHIM]

That is a normal warning for outdated check-points in chains... (Not a severe warning, if it is working.)

You are fine, that is the correct chain. There has not been an update with the hard-coded check-point, due to the wallet running well.

Just check to see that you are on the correct chain by the bottlecap-explorer.
http://bottlecaps.kicks-ass.net/block_crawler.php

You should also be able to see the correct block-height on this site.
http://www.coinchoose.com/

If you see your diff is about 41K in your miners... that is the correct difficulty at the moment. If you see your diff real low, like 10K to 1K... and only 3 connections... that is a sign you are on the wrong chain. Otherwise you are golden.

I believe he is working on rewording some of the text in the wallet, to make it more appropriate to what it is complaining about. However, all wallets say that, when they are fine. It is more of a "caution" warning, that you MIGHT be on the wrong chain... as opposed to being an "DANGER! Fix it or die!" warning.

Bottlecaps (CAP) is supported on my shop @ http://www.cryptogamekeys.com !

Looking forward tot he first CAP customer

Ahh... okay.

I'm running on multipool so I only see miners when it's on CAP, but I'll look at the blockchain.

Thanks!
