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

[Tranz]

Hmmm ok. Do you happen to have one of the transaction IDs available?

EDIT: I stopped staking due to rise in diff. (it's about hbn) If I encounter anomaly's I'll post it.

See here regrading HBN diff https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303749.msg9636176#msg9636176

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't noticed it until you said something.

I recently had a conversation with someone who wanted to compare/contrast the current value of 10 BTC he spent back in January on what many referred to as crypto's "Silver" to the same value invested in BottleCaps. Since he gave me a date, 15th I figured I'd break a buy/hold all the way down from then to now.

Anybody have a favorite Historical pricing resource I can utilize?

I check out cryptsy's now and then. Goes all the way back to the genesis block.

You should also take into effect the staking gain.  Was only 1% from Jan to July then 200%.

Additional discussions revealed that his coinbase acct started in Jan and most of his trading activity was the start of February. I'm thinking of working it all out because I got sick of mining and dumped a bit of Fiat into BTC around the same time to play day-trader. The example - 10 BTC with starting valuations of fiat/BTC, LTC/BTC, DOGE/BTC and CAP/BTC average around start of February, same Coin/Valuations at the fork, and lastly the current value YTD plus or minus.

Yeah all this Proof of ______ - be it developer, honor...whatever seems to be skewed.

Speaking about history:

In the following thread summarized the history of CAP after aligning a conversation with Adam (the creator of BottleCAP) and BitJohn (the person who initiated the idea of BottleCAP)

Hmm, my wallet wouldn't sync - I have 1 active connection on both win and fresh compiled linux. Added all nodes from the OP
is there any more?

Thanks mate! Sorted, syncing now. Takes loooong

OP should be updated or hardcoded proper nodes...

Speaking of which I think things are pretty stable right now in Hobo land, so I will be beginning some development here this week.  I'll post some of the relevant code changes as they are done, so people can be free to test them out or comment.

Nice.
Is there a QtCreator .pro file that properly makes a project out of the sources? Makes it easier to rebuild the UI in QML and then super-easy skinning.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around lately, I've been super busy at work getting things done for Christmas. Just wanted to let you know I still have the rolling bounty going. It was initially just for some icons, it can still be used for that or something else you guys can think of. Its currently at upwards of 5600 CAP.

"I'm going to use Caps as an example it was my inception and others believed I had big plans for it so they jumped in and made a "straw man" version of it.

Which was fine as it was a straw currency ha , anyhow let's look at it ..."



"Three letter is CAP . (on my insistence)

It was released as an NVC fork but had many problems at the start then was deserted as the straw currency it was.

Went very low for the cap and basically the market psychology ave up on it"...

"Along comes "Tranz" now he's undertaking "revitalization" which includes ha ha increasing the stake to 200% pa ha ha (which by the way is totally crazy)"

"Now what will happen ?

People are starting to buy it up , then the propaganda will begin with "Tokyo ghetto" realizing consistency in stake returns , and the price will rise 100s of % ..."


Other than that it's very hard not to make % gains.  It will just be around how much."

If this is indeed true and you are a champion of justice why did you not post this in the CAPs thread on May27, 2014 when you received it.  Looks like you have only developed a conscience today (thinly veiled as revenge).  Why is that?  Says a lot about what kind of person you really are.  If that pump had happened and you benefited from it...would you be here now??

It is true, and you reveal more about the type of person you are by twisting my words;-)
There is no revenge here, I was simply informing members/investors of the intentions of some of the 'core' CAPS folks, as well as calling you out on your lies (your job?). No, I did not invest. Shake himself has called this an "in-house" Cryptsy scam-coin.

P.S. Thank you Hillux for mentioning me on the Quark thread (more lies can be found there), thus reminding me to reply here to you today..

Hello all. 

First off sorry I haven't been around much. I have been pretty busy with work, and then getting the HBN website back up and running. Otherwise I have been trying to spend more time with the family, especially during the holiday season.

I did find a bit of time today to work on the split/combine threshold for CAPs.

https://github.com/Tranz5/bottlecaps/commit/9f71e2356b33494f30c2ad9fedf314029361e18f?diff=unified

This will add the splitthreshold and combinethreshold to both start up switches and rpc command.  The defaults for the split/combine are set to 10,20 respectfully. The start up switches max are set to 200/400. And the rpc max is set to wallet balance / 500 and balance / 250. Or the start up max. Whichever is greater.

So what this means is if you balance is 300,000 you can set the split max to 600, and the combine max to 1200. I think this is a good compromise on network security and ease of use for the users.

Also note that as of right now these are not persistent on restart. Using the start up switches in a batch file would take care of that, but if your rpc commands are setting to larger values, you will have to manually adjust those after the client is initialized.

For you HBN lovers, these rpc commands will also be available after the hard fork is complete.

Hopefully I can continue to find more time here to add more cool stuff.

Thanks!

Anybody seeing this?

I'm running a 2.2 wallet with 4~9 active connections (drops when I restart). I seem to be stuck at block 794622.

Peers are at block 796255-796263.
