Ok got it today.

The core wallet has a memory leak, the linux version at least. It exists for a longer time, and consumes about 15-20 MByte for every block PoS minted. Would be nice to get it solved.

Hi,

We are actually working on that. If you have ideas about the issue, please let us know!

An instruction was released on the blackcoin blog, describing instructions on how to update via Blackcoin Lore 2.12.x to version 2.13.2.6 https://blackcoin.nl/upgrading-to-blackcoin-more/

[michelvankessel]

Blackcoin and Radium Core devs form a strategic alliance. Both blockchains share similar codebases so it makes sense to collaborate:

-Work together on future codebase upgrades
-Share industry knowledge
-Innovate PoS technology

If you are running an old client consider upgrading to Blackcoin-More!

Those dust attacks still going on, now in October 2020 daily.
It's bloating up the wallet.dat and therefore consuming more and more RAM.

here's an article about BTC dust attacks:
https://www.coindesk.com/dust-attacks-bitcoin-wallets

what is interesting that it's used to de-anonymize ppl's addresses




a solution is to raise the txfee

hope we can have a discussion about that and if possible better solutions to identify the attacker

Is there any possibility to configure a stakecombine or stakesplit?

[PeterColumboFalk]

Staking leaves a lot of dust in the blockchain, consisting of many 0.00005500 BLK parts.

Can you give an example how that would like?

thanks

It is not the staking that leaves a lot of the dust. The wallets that are staking are being attacked with dust transactions.

The Blackcoin network is being attacked with spam/dust

It is important that people upgrade/migrate to Blackcoin More v2.13.2.6 and (optionally) raise the fees to avoid relaying these transactions. We will have to raise the fees in the next version to mitigate these attacks

Next More version will be v2.17.0 and is based on BTC Core code 0.17.

More can be downloaded from https://blackcoinmore.org

Thanks

Sounds sensible, staying current protocol on any blockchain improves security and ultimately helps the coin long term prospects and they'll always be someone trying to cause trouble of some sort especially for personal gain.    Good to see a plan to counter the transaction abuse being made possible, hopefully people will realize its needed and be 'awake' enough to update their clients as everyone is part of the network in proof of stake system.

Thanks, this helps a lot.

I'm using blackmore v2.13.2.6 on ubunto 18.04 LTS for some weeks before the attack. Last days I migrated from the old wallet to a new one to get rid of the dust, but the attack persists as described. The attack leads to a heavy processor load until the wallet process disrupts or forks. So it's not only the legacy client, but the more client too.

A fast way of doing this is to dump your keys from Legacy and import them into More.

Dumping and restoring private keys makes no sense, because the dust is persisting.
