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

[Rakete4]

Money supply according to the debug console of the client is 8,816,651 HBN, but Coinmarketcap only reads 8,208,723 HBN. That makes our marketcap seem a little smaller than it actually is. Novacoin for example hasn't been updated either, whereas the number for Peercoins is always up to date.

Does anybody know if this is a known issue with Coinmarketcap?
It benefits IPO-Scams over coins with honest mining.

The issue is coinmarketcap is getting it's money supply from an old ABE explorer that is out of commission. They need to change to CCE API. Could I trouble you to ask them to switch?

By CCE you mean the Cryptocoinexplorer, right?
I have sent them a request via the Request Form. Included this link:

Now let's wait and see.

Anyone great at programming for android? A phone wallet to stake would be fantastic. Would this ruin the phone?

It would be cool to have one to be able to receive and hold coins. However I think there is still some work to be done for the code base. In any event staking would consume a fair amount of resources. It may not break the phone, but it would drain the battery quickly and probably cause a good deal of heat while it is running.

My phone is lucky if it gets through a day on one charge without staking. If I tried staking the battery would probably be dead within hours.

Thank you, that worked like a charm, and took a lot less than an hour!

Your points about the notice that was given are well taken: I was speaking from a position of fear and worry!!

Hmm, I have been running Hobonickels for quite a while, on and off. Every now and then I forget about it.

The other day I started my client up. It didnt seem to work well and after a while I noticed HARD FORK UPGRADE!!

So I did but it still didnt work well, it re-downlownloaded the blockchain taking several days but never caught up.

So I started a fresh installation , it synced, shutdown and then and then put my wallet.dat in that and restarted.

Now I have 0.001 HBN and roughly 5700 unconfirmed worth of pos mined transactions.

Unless I am mistaken I have just lost the entire contents of my wallet due to the 1.5 hard fork, or is there a way to recover this?
These are all dated within minutes of me starting the 1.4 client on the 31st Jan, after the hard fork on 17th.

No I didnt have any idea this was going on and I still dont understand why it was necessary.
I thought such things were generally done slowly and with plenty of warning?

The first warning of the hard fork was November 11, 2014. A full 3 months before version 1.5 took effect. It was necessary to fix multiple issues, including various attack vectors.

Regarding your coins, they should be safe, as long as your wallet was backed up.

What you need to do is start the gui with -zapwallettxes. This should clean up the missing transactions.  Please be patient with this, it can take some time(30-60mins+) to rescan the block chain. If you need help on how to accomplish this, please let us know.

No problem, glad it worked out for you. It has taken me that long in the past when using -zapwallettxes. I also have a wallet from when the chain is just a few days old and staking going for all that time, so that is why mine can take a long time  .

Sorry if I seemed snarky, I do my best to not sneak things under the users noses, and be as transparent as possible. But no matter how much time, or how many notices are given, some people can miss it or just be simply too busy to be bothered.  I understand this and do my best to make sure everyone is taken care of.

In any event glad you are back on the chain!

I have been playing as much as possible, in my spare time, with the Mac wallet. And no matter what I tried, I continued to run into issues after I got past a certain point in the block chain. It has nothing to do with bad blocks from other clients, or bugs in the client.

I began to think the issue was dealing with some type of memory bug, I was wrong(I think) but close.

What appears to be the issues is the max file descriptors is being hit. This is not allowing new blocks (or index files) to be opened and read/written to.

I found 2 PR request in BTC that look like they are dealing with the issue:
https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin/commit/2233fc531850892c7becf82d6906f3706090f8d7
https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin/commit/ba29a5590bc4479d74454f0b9fdaf007d9d80221

For now I think I also have a work around for Mac Users.

In a terminal run the following:

Code:

sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 1000000 1000000

This will change the default setting from 256 to 1,000,000  I am still playing with this, but for now it seems promising.

Edit: still failed, so I also set this:

Code:

ulimit -n 10000

Then launched the client from the same window.

Code:

/Users/me/Desktop/HoboNickels-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/HoboNickels-qt &

See if it works this time now.

[Tranz]

So it looks like it all worked. I am 100% synced and the client is looking good.

I am testing staking now.

I'll write up a new wiki page for help with the mac. I have learned a few things that could be useful for other people.

I only ask because I have numerous old smartphones sitting around that could be of use running a wallet staking 24/7.

Coinmarketcap has now updated it.     
We are reaching $70.000 marketcap at a price of 3500 Satoshi and $225 per BTC.

Guys is there any issue with S4C?

I have it setup but it does not always send the coins, and they all meet the criteria, that I have in place.

I am using v1.5.0

Ryan there does appear to be a bug, as first noticed by pressf1 and confirmed just recently by me, where the s4c does not re-enable after a wallet restart. It does not happen all the time. If this does happen, just go to the s4c tab after restart and hit enable. That usually does the trick.

Otherwise I haven't see of any other issues.  Can you be more specific?

My wallet has been running for few days, and I did not restarted it, when it first stakes, the first one or the second one works "s4c"

the rest do not work at all. I have been staking for 3 days now and only 1 S4C was processed.

Interesting..

What are your min and max settings at? Have you tried to re-click "enable". Also have you looked at the log file to see if they are trying to be processed? You can search for the string "StakeForCharity" and "s4c".

Just upload it to some sharing site. You can zip and password it if you like, just PM me the link then.

Currently 14 coin communities (including yours) have expressed some level of interest in the multi-coin CF site

Here are the steps we will follow:
1) registration - info to allow admins to know a bit about each community
2) qualifying - min 1000 pts during CF event
3) enrollment - top 4 producers in CF effort plus 6 other coins.
and
4) waiting list - coins seeking enrollment for phase 2

Please provide registration info: name of coin, forum thread address, leadership names, and intended membership count (incl leadership).  


Next week I will make an "official" announcement of the plan with a new thread for that purpose.  Although I will answer any question anywhere, in that thread very many questions will be asked and answered and many communities will be able to get to know one  another.   I'm encouraging all communities that know of the plan to take advantage of the advanced knowledge by getting a head-start.   Start organizing and working on promotion tasks immediately.  If the task is satisfactorily completed and relevant to the plan I will allot the points indicated for the task.  

After the broad public discussion reaches a level at which the overwhelming majority of the communities want to move forward, we start the CF campaign to raise start-up funds and to also serve as the qualifier.  

Each coin community must qualify (1000 pts) during the crowdfunding campaign -- a point is equivalent to 1 work hour or 1 campaign dollar.    Below is a list of work duties with associated work hours to give you a glimpse of what could be done to accumulate points.  This is also the type of work that would be on a much longer list that communities could choose from in order to maintain coop enrollment.  

I invite you to take this opportunity to get a head-start on the competition by doing all of the things on this list:
- write 3 articles                [2 points per article]
- publish your articles using 5 different resources  [5 pts for self-publish, 50 pts in statewide pub, 200 pts in nationwide pub]
- get interviewed by radio , TV, and/or newspaper      [50 pts radio, 100 pts TV (cable or public access ok)]
- secure minimum of 5 sig spaces from active members    [1 point each]
- create 5 sec video for video sponsorship -- “This video is sponsored by _______ [show logo]”. Which will go in front of sponsored campaign videos    [5 points]
- do 1 min Host CC video aimed at organizers     [no points]
- at your coin thread announce your intent to participate in the endeavor, min 5 responses [1 point]
- create a list of community volunteers      [no points]
- create a list of 10 things not on this list that you think should count for community hrs     [1 point]
- create a game plan for how you intend on raising funds for the CF site  [no points]


This is a major league plan, without question everyone should make sure they are involved one way or another.
