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

[presstab]

Hi. Just discovering HBN. I intend to buy a handful and plant them in my new V 1.3 wallet.
After two hours though I don't have a single active connection. Is there something I can do about this?

Here are the peers I am currently connected to.  Try grabbing some of the ip addresses and going to the debug window and typing "addnode ipaddresshere" . Tranz and I are working on getting a page on the wiki devoted to the new seed nodes and permanent addnodes, and should have full instructions up soon.

Does this look right? No connections yet but I'll keep the wallet open.

Also, If there's a HBN noob forum, kindly point me there. I don't want to become an irritation but I do want to figure things out and become a hobonickel miner.

yeah pepto, that looks about right... give it time to pick up a connection. If it doesn't work. Try opening up your firewall

You need to do addnode 94.23.31.223:7372 add

To help with Sync issues I have updated github releases and put out version 1.3.1.0 This is based on the newest build from my Tranz github

https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/releases/download/1.3.0.0/HoboNickels-qt-1.3.1.0.zip

This is windows only for now.

Hello, can you please help me? Today, I have run HoboNickels daemon and stopped it after a while (with stop command). Now when I run the daemon, this error shows.

************************
EXCEPTION: St13runtime_error      
CDB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error -30973      
HoboNickels in ThreadStakeMinter()

  what():  CDB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error -30973

I don't have wallet.dat backup. Can you provide me with some steps on how to recover the wallet please? The wallet.dat file is unencrypted.

[lamosty]

Oh, I solved it! Ran hobonickels daemon with -salvagewallet option and after a while it recovered the wallet file!

Good to hear. Remember keep backups!! Even make a paper wallet, with dumpwallet.

I am curious as to what happened to corrupt it in the first place. Did you upgrade recently, from 1.2 to 1.3?

I've been wondering about a Staking issue.

If I read right, the coins split every 10 days when stake is generated. How is this going to affect the 1 year super stake? Do the coins remember the original minting date? or are they getting washed new every 10 days when it splits?

Or was the super stake pulled? I don't see it mentioned on the front page any more.

If it's gone, then I may just recombine my coins again. I generate so many little stakes that it's going to get cpu intensive.

As far as I know there is no super stake at a year mark. There is 2% stake every 10 days, 30 days max. If you stake 36 times in one year at approximately 2% stake, you should about double your coins.

I always combine my blocks when they split, some people take different strategies though.

how often do you combine blocks?

The coins are split, so coin age is destroyed, and reset to zero.

Yes Super Stake is just a buzz word, the 2% every 10 days has not been changed.

Each person can find a good balance for when they should combine. I do it about every 2-3 months. 

[presstab]

how often do you combine blocks?

I like to play around with my HBN a bit, so I actually combine after every split. This isn't exactly necessary, but it does prevent split blocks from maturing at different points in time.  So each time I get a stake, I send the two blocks for my wallet-stake3 (I have 8 staking wallets at the moment) and send it to my default wallet to combine them, then send them back to wallet-stake3.  Alternatively if I want to avoid the .001 transaction fee hitting me twice, I could create a new wallet and send it there. For the sake of being able to keep track of my wallets and not having to frequently backup, I try not to create new ones anymore.

Hey guys,

Just wondering I have had my first stake after 10 days, I didn't do anything and I have 2 transactions but they are both stuck at 0/6 confirmations. Do I have do anything for these to go through? Are these actually my new coins that have been minted or should I not get too excited?I am using a Mac client as well.

Thanks

It sounds like you had an orphan.  This means that someone else staked at the exact same time you did, but the network took the other stake rather than yours. This happens from time to time. Look at your coinage via advanced coin control and see if you block is still mature. If it is then you should be able to hold until it stakes again.
