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

[PressF1]

Hi Guys,

The last inflation update was quite some time ago so here are the numbers of the last six month's:

date           block        supply        inflation

HBN
1-12-2014   1451032   7540709    7,9%
1-1-2015   1556265   8096241      7,4%
1-2-2015   1680359   8765283      8,3%
1-3-2015   1800260   9349593      6,7%
1-4-2015   1932062   9998550      6,9%
1-5-2015   2059867   10683151    6,8%

CAP
1-12-2014   758924   8289383    13,4%
1-1-2015   812457   9432382       13,8%
1-2-2015   869457   10728528     13,7%
1-3-2015   926375   12058324     12,4%
1-4-2015   989934   13572195     12,6%
1-5-2015   1049849   15210644   12,1%

HYP
1-12-2014   160714   53258893   53,6%
1-1-2015   190299   75120101    41,0%
1-2-2015   221286   101346810   34,9%
1-3-2015   250312   127669954   26,0%
1-4-2015   279701   155844433   22,1%
1-5-2015   308140   183508459   17,8%


HBN has the lowest monthly inflation as always. Not al all strange because it has the lower POS rate compared to CAP and HYP. Designed at 100% but these days usually somewhere around 90% due to an increasing network stake weight. The POS rate for CAP shows similar effects. Having a POS rate somewhere around 180% these days.
All of them also show a decreasing inflation rate. It means that the increase of the money supply is more or less stable. For HYP this moment occurred about 6 months ago when a lot of people started to hit the stake maximum.

So it all looks quite nice and stable. which is quite an achievement considering the age of their block chains, almost two years for HBN and CAP and getting close to one year for HYP.

Thanks everyone for their contribution!

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if they are also experiencing a very slow download of the bottlecap blockchain.
My system resources are fine and my internet connection is fast so I would have to say that there is something wrong with bottlecaps.
The bottlecap client integrity test was fine. I even disabled the firewall, but still had the same download speed.
Anyone have a clue why this is so?
Thanks for help

Is this a new wallet installation that seems slow or an existing wallet that has suddenly become slow?

My longtime Bottlecaps wallets (windows) tend to among my fastest syncing wallets.  The installation I did on my RPi downloading from scratch and just letting it find peers took ~4-5days to fully sync but seems just as fast as the windows wallets now (ie ~15minutes to sync 5-7days)

If its a new installation you might just be unlucky with the peers you are downloading from.

Hi, thanks for replying.
Actually i am using a wallet that is the 2nd last version so that would be 2.2.1

However for the past couple of months i have been using this wallet and I had no problems, and just in the month of may this has started.
Did something go wrong with the network, nodes, blockchain. It is downloading like a snail.
Thanks

Well, it would seem that I broke my wallet

Yesterday I may have tried consolidating a staking block with a not fully confirmed transaction.
The wallet complained about it, so I did a checkwallet, and it found some errors, so I did a repairwallet.
That fixed that it would seem, but that newly consolidated block, while showing up in the coin control screen would not get any confirmations.

So I did the logical thing and broke it more, and apparently got myself blasklisted from the network, as my getinfo screen shows my IP number as being "0.0.0.0" and it says I had zero connections.
So I broke it some more and deleted everything the configuration folder, and tried connecting again, and get no connections.

I have a copy of my wallet.dat file that I kept aside, with the bad staking block(of course) to try to reclaim the 15K or so coins that were in the wallet, but, I still can't seem to get any connections to the network.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and as far as the "bad" staking block goes, if it has to be dumped into the bit bucket, so be it, yet if possible I'd like to reclaim it.

If I am blacklisted, how long will it be?
And how can I reclaim my coins from my original wallet.dat file, if it's got a bad block in there?

Thanks in advance

I am trying out v 2.2.1.0 and have synced up okay. It still says checkpoint is too old and to notify developers. It seems to work okay other wise. How do I fix the check point message?

I have the same message after restarting the wallet after a power failure. It was fine earlier this morning.
It could be a small issue with the checkpoint server so do not worry too much about it.

2 of three computers had the same thing for several days.
Win 8 laptop was fine.

Win8 desktop -  I wiped everything but my wallet twice-no go.
Moved the bottlecap dir and tried from scratch(thinking bad wallet?) -no go.
finally got it working w/o error msg by using a fresh copy of the qt.exe

Haven't started with the Ubuntu server yet...

Hey Justbob,

You might want to try what Presstab suggested a few posts back:

First and most importantly go to your appdata directory and make a backup of your wallet.dat - don't skip this step.  Name the backup wallet-backup7-10-14.dat or something.

Second startup the wallet in terminal with the salvage wallet switch. So if the exe is in my documents I would type this into terminal:

Code:

documents/bottlecaps-qt.exe -salvagewallet

This should rescan your wallets and hopefully your coins will show back up.  If not let us know.

Let us know if that works.

Just curious, does anyone else have situations on cryptsy where they send 1/4 to 1/2 of what you withdraw at a time. I was sending 10,000 CAP blocks to my wallet but they are coming in at 2500 CAP to 5050 CAP blocks instead. So now I am ending up paying a lot more transaction fees to send my coins, even if I try to send 50,000 it still sends only 2500 to 5050 at a time.

Here was thier response

Thank you for contacting Cryptsy.

I apologize for having this issue. The remaining amount was returned to your account.

I do apologize the reason the withdrawal is being chopped is due to a large build up of inputs from all the transactions
in the wallet which become to large to fit into the block chain so it chops the withdrawal to a size where it will fit into the block chain.
I have alerted our wallet specialist who will merge inputs to help larger withdrawals process.

Thank you for your patience as he works on merging inputs.

Also can someone direct me to the direct dev for CAPS please.

That is an interesting response from Cryptsy. There was a recent address climbing the richlist, EzNukaC5pipbo..., and it appeared to have the same block reorganization; transactions at 10k, some appear halved, some even look like half of 8k attempts.

With the two initial creators of the coin in the employ of Cryptsy, I am sure they would know best. However, here is a recent large transaction (97176.726562 CAP): 5eabdd3cb125e80c75889520a1e4822dbb23d5061e0e6ffc79704d9bf9f43249

Tranz is the dev. Many of us have swapped messages with him here and he does post often enough.

Have you sent a PM?

I actually need to contact him for something else non related to cryptsys stufff.

I also laughed when I saw their response, As i had an idea of what was really going on. Overall it cost me 22 transaction fees and 5 hours to send and structure 50,000 CAP yesterday. It has also paused my buying of CAP until they hopefully can fix the problem.

I feel your pain. Filed a ticket for the same issue back in early November. Back then they claimed the problem was 'fixed', test failed, updated ticket, fixed again...then it was intermittent enough that now I just consider it 'block tax'.

...so when is Stakeminers officially adding BottleCaps?

We are looking into Bottlecaps now, researching the coin and its POS returns.
