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

[ISAWHIM]

Ok, seems to have started again... (Still odd that it seemed to have stopped. Was that like the diff-adj stopping it from releasing too many POS coins in x-days or something?)

60935
60880
60873
60784
60781
60768
60692
60448

These are the latest POS blocks... Big jump from 58088 to 60448, just over 2000 blocks without a POS. (There was a lot of POS just prior, so maybe the system did just make an adjustment, if it didn't break, or hit a sour spot.)

I wish the block explorer would identify the POS vs POW blocks... instead of showing useless info like CAP (Obviously, we know we are looking at CAP. lol.)

Bold it, or highlight it, or create a separate POS explorer that only shows POS blocks.

Talk about bad luck... lol, they keep missing me by two blocks!

So is v1.4.0.0-g32a928e-caps still the latest version and considered stable?

[ISAWHIM]

That is the one I am using, and it runs fine...

I think 1.4.1 was just going to tackle POS things, now that we are minting POS blocks.

Have not hit a sour spot yet.

Yes any issues?

Anyone know what happened to all the pools???  Or is Bottlecaps now switched to just PoS minting?

You can mine CAP at multipool.

Hey Devs, would it be possible for you to merge in the NVC getmhashps function under the getmininginfo method?  Or would that not work with your diff adjustment?

No pools are up still. PoW minting will be active for 9 years,

Multipool.in , cap.epools.org, bottlecapspool.com are all good choices

Yep it will be included. Just holding off on 1.4.1 for a little longer to get nodes cleared up. Dont want to introduce another change we are sure all is well. I also have had a busy week at work. Im trying to fix a bug bitcoinfx mentioned and will have a newly compiled client soon but not a necessary upgrade

Great coin, cant wait till its worth at least 0.0007 again!!!

Great coin, cant wait till its worth at least 0.0007 again!!!

It's headed that way again... even with BTC rise... (The more BTC rises, the less we have to sell, to get the same $ ammt. Thus, for those who can spare it, they can settle for less. Still, it will easily climb back over to 0.0015, when the suckers are done mining the new scam-coins, thinking they are going to "get in on the early value"... The new coins all die down fast, and settle-in quick. Doesn't take long for people to realize they are only getting a fraction of the estimated returns, due to orphans and rejections from fast solutions. But it does take some time before they realize it.)

Someone sell toilet-paper and "zombie survival kits", and coffee for CAP, and I will buy them...

Bottlecaps: The only way to survive in the digital apocalypse, is with the right tools. The toilet-paper is rough, the coffee tastes like dirt, but without the "zombie survival kit", you won't be able to wipe the shit off you ass, or stay awake all night, if you ever get attacked by zombies that ate your brains!

You are starting to sound like Anonymint  { jokes , waiting for Anony Now to find this comment while furiously searching his own name and claim that I'm an NSA counter agent that is planting ideas about our certain Cap currency future. }

                              -  ATTENTION  -

My wallet and epools are in the same fork , verns pool and coinchoose in another

bump ^^^^^

[TheDirtybird]

Seems my wallet and Cryptsy are not on the same connection either.. lost a few coins.. never got there.

[ISAWHIM]

One of the chains went sour at 0:00 hours... at block 64751

Killed the old chain...

Redownload the new chain and continue mining... New block-height should be around 65032+

Backup the old chain, if you believe that the new chain may be incorrect. Though, I do not see any issues with it, at the moment. Just looks like the old chain crapped-out when time rolled-over to midnight, and a new client starting after 0:00 hours began building a chain that actually functions. (Didn't contain the 0:00 failed block.)

Honestly looks like an issue with "Division by zero"... or checkpoint and that roll-over time... Might want to hard-code any block at exactly 0:00:00 hours, to fail, even if it is "valid"... taking the next block after 0:00:00 hours. That, or purposely add 0:00:01 to all blocks  less than 23:59:99 in the future, so there is never a division by 0 occurrence. That would cause the block just before midnight to fail, but would remove a check for "zero" on every call... (Just guessing here. it was a block at exactly 0:00:00 though, I was the one who found that block. It is not on the new chain.)

Also note, 50729 block and 52190, and 56526, and 57080, and 57662, or one +/- those blocks, seemed to be giving the chain a little "confusion"... Kept stopping at those blocks, loading the new chain... had to wait forever for those blocks to load. (Could a few of those "reliable connections" be "stuck" and they just don't realize they are stuck? Like my wallet was just happy doing nothing, not reporting an "issue", thinking it was "all OK"... But my cgminers all reported "work not coming fast enough". Which is how I knew the wallet was "acting up"... lol, that, and they seemed to cut me off from the network after an hour.)

re-downloaded (again) the blockchain and seems fine now

re-downloaded (again) the blockchain and seems fine now

Fixed  If anyone is having issues connecting to the network redownload the chain with only those 2 nodes. Or try connect= (either of those nodes)

A node I had someone else setup was running the 1.3 client. Somehow it moved to the bad chain and threw a portion of the network off. Only pool affected was  epools. I am working to fund all lost coins from this 1600 paid

Solo miners may have lost some coins as well if you client was moved to the wrong chain. I sincerely aplogize for this. A node I had someone else setup was running an outdated client

BTW, who is getting the fees?

The fees are not coming to our wallets when we mine the blocks... We are only getting the 10 coins...

Though I see fees of 2.0-0.002 in most blocks that have transactions. Where are the fees going? What wallet are they going to?

Transaction fees are destroyed to counteract the small inflation caused by PoS

Bad node. Only epools affected. I funded all lost coins from this

epools and solo-miners... (I lost about 12 coins after 0:00:00, and any potential coins for the past 5 hours from 1:00:00 to 5:00:00, when the coin-network decided to sever my wallet and not let it connect to any nodes.)

Not complaining, but just saying that epool was NOT the ONLY one affected.
