It's a pity he didn't send you more than 15k ORB Mad_Max, I'm sure you'd be looking after us.

[Mutton213]

can anyone tell me if its pointless mining orbit coins at the moment with wallet v1.3.2?? nothing comes across to Cryptsy at the moment.

That's MM's fork, right? You're mining on the unofficial chain.

Cryptsy is probably running the most recent official version (which itself is a fork from the original official chain...)

And I am guessing that coins-e is running the old old official version, because funds sent from cryptsy to coins-e never appear.

So there's currently 3 chains, and will be a 4th if there is ever another official release. (If TheRedMist reappears with his mystery dev)

tl;dr right now there seems to be no way to get newly mined coins to an exchange, and Mad_Max was only able to exchange up to block 475k.

[Mutton213]

Thanks almightyruler, I think ill stop with the solo mine then for now and see what happens. Will be painful after days of mining to see the coins disappear.

[gmerk]

Let's just hope ORB won't follow WDC to the dark depths of crypto-purgatory 
Their price is quite similar today...

On the other hand, it's been a long time since the first problems and ORB is still alive.
I think any kind of good news (e.g. return of RedMist+Developer or even a takeover) will drive its value up...

[Mutton213]

Its a funny one. Do I sell all my coins on cryptsy now expecting the coin to just die and be worthless, or hold onto the coins and hope the devs sort it all out.  Ahhh the joy of choice.... Time will tell.

Hedge your bets? Sell X%, keep Y%

Right now I'm not very confident of the official version being updated. There's a lot of talk from the official dev (or WAS until he stopped logging in at cryptotalk), but no action. The coin broke a month or two ago and it's still not officially fixed.

Yes, it is a best action for now.
But do NOT delete wallet for now - may be RedMist in the end will  re-appears to exchange this coins.
It was official promise on open forum. So if he want continue to use coins (and his big premine, which still > 50% of all coins minted) he need to exchange it to avoid "Scammer" tag

Keep client running too (without mining) if possible to keep network alive and operation.

Also you can "vote" about add ORB to new exchange: http://www.allcrypt.com/beta/voting.php (up to 10 votes per day from 1 ip is free)
May be new exchange choose to add my ver as most active now and fully operational?

BTW seems i found exact point of additional fork between 2 official version (produced by incorrect patch in ver. 1.3.0)

height=417559  trust=25722219683  date=01/22/14 08:52:03

Only 559 blocks and ~ 11 hours after "patch" activation.

At very first block with small negative time spacing in blocks timestams:

new best=33e9816e7f1776a7ebf128b80bfee9b92a7876122815aa5ecc6828e48c10c19b  height=417557  trust=25720122529  date=01/22/14 08:47:45

All as i predicted almost 2 week BEFORE patch activation (about 2 days after ver. 1.3.0 code publication, but long before activation of changes).

I temporally stop running my ver and check few things with official ver:

1.
Yes, Cryptsy running last official ver with wrong patch - 1.3.0. I check it today.
This fork at this position now:

Code:

new best=ff1d5204f32fd7d0c5d37da4a181ec22ca9d329cd00520372f3cff85e187821c  height=429334  trust=38195370579  date=02/13/14 01:40:04

Seems main part of user also use this ver, only PoS mining but relative active.

2.
You not able deposit to COINS-E because they move ORB to "Coins under maintenance" sections.
Seems they finally hear all my warning(i post few tickets - first was in 1st half Jan) about all shits happens around ORB and official dev and suspend all withdrawals and deposits until one of current 3 forks wins or will be 100% clear which fork will be used as basis for 4th official fork. So no any versions at use - just waiting and watching situation...

3. Old (original) version (1.0, 1.1, 1.2) seem dying now. Smaller number of users online and much shorter chain:

Code:

new best=b8efd5bfabfed23981064204f7685984373aa095e34196771a02361cfd5f3b94  height=418604  trust=26830374805  date=02/12/14 15:04:46

Only PoS mining, low activity.

But this version in use by last working ORB block explorer and some other online services like coinchoose.com (one of the mining profitability calculators)

It may be under maintenance now, but it wasn't when I attempted the deposit 20 days ago.

Coincidentally, my ticket querying this has been open for 20 days without response....

[hasar]

Orbit is dead?

[Lordas]

As I understand this coin is dead?

Yeah, 20 days ago they probable use old 1.2/1.0 ver.
COINS-E admins/programmers so slooow, so probable missed right time to update (before block 417000).
When later noticed what something wrong - it was already known/proven and posted on both forum about new 1.3.0 not fix things as planned, so they decides NOT upgrades to 1.3.0 and move coin to "maintenance" / suspend deposits/withdrawal instead wanting for final official fix.

[Mad_Max]

Orbit is dead?

As I understand this coin is dead?

Officially NOT. And probable in practice not yet too.

- wallets still working and transactions pass, and still enough nodes online to support work of network
it is splited to parallel chain where one official with only PoS (transactions is OK, but no mining of new coins) and 2nd my (unofficial) with working mining but not accepted by echanges - both working
only 3rd (oldest/original) chain is dying now

- it is trading on 2 different exchanges and exchange rate relative stable (my measures of unpopular / little used "third level" alt coins)

Attempting to sync wallet and not syncing, I just wanted to use it to test some network settings for solo mining, as it's diff is low. No wallet sync though.

Firstly, are you using v1.3.2.0-orb, the fork by Mad_Max? You won't be able to mine on any other version. Here's two IPs you can try connecting to:

addnode=173.88.48.75
addnode=198.27.97.178  <-- this appears to be running an older version.

(Haven't started the client for a while - only connected to those two IPs atm)

Some other quiet and/or half-dead coins that you can play with solo mining on. I've only listed those which are synced and have connections right now:

Valuecoin - diff 0.0013
Lebowskis - diff 0.0081
Clockcoin - diff 0.0154
Nintencoin - diff 0.0174

HTH.

Is this thread alive?
Is the coin alive?
Prices are tanking badly.
Maybe the stuck chain was better...

Yes, a new version has just been released, but the upgrade has not been smooth sailing for many people. I had to restart about 3 times to sync, and had some weird issues with the client complaining that I was trying to use already spent coins in a transaction.
