HoboNickels - HBN - High Fast Stake - Version 2.0! More Secure, Less Intensive

It seems that coinchoose.com is on the wrong chain too (or likely takes data form the wrong block explorer), displaying wrong profitability atm.

Thanks. I have replied to his thread.

Cryptsy is now up and running with an updated daemon.  Deposits post much faster than they ever have (in my experience).

Hey Tranz, do you have a rough idea of when the 1.4 wallet (or whatever the next version is, which will include the features you have been talking about recently) will be officially (not beta) released? Just curious, no rush.

My estimates for 1.4 final should be in Q2. Personally I think about 30 more days.  But if they are anything like the last 30 days(crazy), might be a tad longer.

Appreciate efforts from Dev

can someone please update the mac wallet once it is closed by the red circle not quitting the wallet it won't come up unless you quit it and restart it

it should have a show/hide when you right click on the wallet icon to bring it up like the rest of the mac wallets.


Thanks

ryan. I will have a look as soon as I can. I think unick was trying to get it compiled for OSX, does anyone have a good set of instructions?

Yep, I'm going to dig into that real soon.  So the Mac Wallet can benefit from the latest enhancements made to the client.

Also want to point out that HBN is on the voting list @ MintPal.

https://www.mintpal.com/voting

I think it would be nice if we could get listed there.  Having another exchange where there is decent volume could only benefit the coin.  Plus the episode where cryptsy didn't update their client is just frustrating when you are ready to put some stakes for sale... I know it's being traded on Atomic Trade but the volume is just too low.

This might be a long shot since the coins getting listed have like 80k + votes but hey, if we vote we will get there sometime

so check it out if you think HBN should be on MintPal

Interestingly, HBN has been on the voting list at CryptoRush for quite some time now (way before the recent drama about Crypto Rush became public) but yet it never got many votes. It was usually only about ten spots above dead last on the list. I think that is because a lot of HBN holders do not want the coin being exposed to too much pump and dump pressure, but I could be wrong. I personally don't like cryptsy, but I also don't think HBN would benefit from too many large exchanges right now so I'm holding off on doing any voting - at Mintpal or elsewhere.

@Tranz, May I suggest an enhancement in the new wallet to where it will show the total dollar amount of your total balance. Maybe use crypsty's price or coinmarketcap.com to determine the value.

My first response was to be no. However considering resent IRS guidelines, it could be very useful to have a FIAT/COIN cost in the wallet, current and at time of mining.  Won't be anytime soon, maybe HBN 2.0

When I PoS mine PHS, I use Alchemist to get this information. Its a pretty nice tool but I believe its closed source. Perhaps something similar can be put together for hobonickels to hold us over in the mean time?

Looks cool,want to know more about this coin.
maybe buy some

I zipped up everything that you mentioned but the wallet for you, I see that it is over 300 MB even after zipping it up so I can't email it to you.  Where can I put it for you?  Lmk.

You could try one of those free upload sites like

or

Thanks. I was able to re-create the error. It stems from corruption of the index. Which is kept in files in the %appdata%\HoboNickels\txleveldb directory.

The quickest fix was to remove or rename the %appdata%\HoboNickels\txleveldb directory. Then start the client with -loadblock=%appdata%\HoboNickels\blk0001.dat

This will re-index the blocks again. Takes a bit of time, but faster then using the network.

The newest BTC client 8.5+ has an option -reindex which does approx the same thing. I would like to add this into HBN, but it will require a substantial amount of work, so it won't be for a while.

Hi Tranz,

Can you please explain how to do this;

"Then start the client with -loadblock=%appdata%\HoboNickels\blk0001.dat"

I am getting the assertion failed error as well and every time I resync the folder txleveldb, the error returns. Please help. I'm not sure what to do and I can't open my wallet...I'm running 1.3.6

thanks

I think there is an issue with a bad client on the network feeding bad blocks, and causing this. I had the issue myself when starting up fresh.

Please try this.

#1 make sure you have a backup of your wallet. Good idea to use the export wallet feature as well.
#2 remove block001.dat and the leveldb directory, from your appdata directory
#3 replace your peers.dat with this one. ( http://www.fileswap.com/dl/d6lOaTzYz/ )
#4 start up the client.

Please let me know if that helps.

Great news and a big thank you to Tranz for taking the lead with HBN!

Hi,

I'm running the site http://www.crypto-coins-table.com.

I have listed your coin already. To provide the full information
for all users you can update the information here:

regards

[presstab]

I have created http://news.hobonickels.info in an attempt to sync all HBN news in one place. Multiple forums can create a headache to check, so I am aiming at keeping all of the most important news all in one place. Let me know if anyone has any feedback.

[dwma]

Can one run p2pool software for this?  I see p2pool.org had it at one point but I can't find source code.  Pointers ?

[unick]

Ok, added a few neat functions to the blockchain explorer.

Last traded BTC/USD price
Last traded HBN/BTC price
BTC Value (Rich list)
USD Value (Rich list)
List of current active connections to nodes the block explorer is connected to (http://hbn.blockx.info/connected-nodes)

Let me know what you think

Hi Tranz, thanks it worked! It took forever to re-download the blockchain and it takes a long time for the wallet to load but it loads fine now....thanks again.  Is there any way to deal with the large size blockchain? I understand that this will be an issue for all coins at some point.

Good to hear. Yes the block chain will grow by about 1 - 2 gig each year. Some type of compression my help. Also as it gets much bigger we will likely offer a bootstrap download file to help speed up the process.

It seems that coinchoose.com is on the wrong chain too (or likely takes data form the wrong block explorer), displaying wrong profitability atm.

Sad that nothing changed, and some people can get confused...
