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

[alibabacool]

Put a commit on github today.
https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/commit/f46fa0c32d33ffd6194cc5f2c994a2d62081a7d4

Code:

 Update split/combine threshold
Up the max to 100/200 as startup, and added rpc commands, which allow
the default max, or wallet balance divided by 250

I am going to look at a few of the bugs with s4c, and see if I can get those fixed up. If I can do that in a reasonable timeframe. I'll officially release 1.5.1.0. If not I'll compile this small change and release 1.5.0.1

Thank you very much for this useful feature!

Really great. Thanks a million. As for bugs with S4C, I haven't noticed any lately. Only when I had the huge blocks the automatic selection of with block to send the S4C from wasn't perfect but no one has big blocks anymore since the max stake reward was introduced.

But thanks again, the splitthreshold dependency on wallet size really works well with bottlecaps and I am looking forward using it with HBN as well!

I haven't noticed any bugs either and my latest POS minting, earlier today, worked like a dream ... pop ... pop ... pop, one after another. I've experimented with large and small block sizes, and large and small numbers of blocks. If the weight is there, POS interest happens fairly quickly. On large block sizes e.g. <7,000, I wait a day over maturation (10 days + 1). On smaller blocks (200-500), three to five days over maturation. That seems to work well for me. However, when there are a very large number of blocks, full POS minting can be spread over the best part of a full day. Interestingly, smaller blocks (e.g. 250) can sometimes be quicker to mint than larger blocks (e.g. 500), even though the larger blocks were established slightly earlier than the smaller blocks.

It's great to hear about moves to improve what is already, in my opinion, one of the best coins available. I I know most are interested in just minting the POS interest at the moment, but looking to the future, I'm wondering how Hobonickels could be used in the real world as a form of barter. Perhaps there are practical things each one of us could do such as spreading the word to communities and groups who could benefit by using HBN. At some point we should do some brainstorming and maybe form an informal group to look at marketing the use of Hobonickels.

You could use the MarketPlace at cryptopia to place items for sell only accepting Hobonickels as payment, or place ads will mow yard for hobonickels or programming software to help get a Hobo barter system started.

I have a question I need to pose to the users of POS chains.

When accounting for the number of transactions on an address, would you consider the address on a POS stake TX to have one or two transactions?

I can see it both ways.

Technically, it appears to be one transaction as it is one transaction hash.

However, the address is in both the TXIN and TXOUT in the transaction, so the argument can me made that it should count as two.

How do you think an explorer should count it?

Nothing to do with you question, but can you please take a look at how you get actual balance of an address?
At this time, i have 21150 hbn
On your explorer, it report 21745 (+595 from reallity) and diff keep raising over time.
But on hbn.blockx.info my balance is right there

You can compare both.

I did not realize its scope of this issue until recently.

I posted an explanation here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=678849.msg11267668#msg11267668

As I posted, it starts to show up more as the number of account transactions start to go in the thousands.

It appears the difference between in the numbers quoted above is about 2%. That would be within the realm of rounding differences with a large amount of transactions.

The next version of CCE (CCE 4.0) corrects this issue.

Can someone share a node or two?  Client isn't finding any peers at the moment.

Thank you

You should be able to grab some nodes from here:

http://hbn.blockx.info/connected-nodes

e.g:

Code:

addnode=[2001:41d0:1:f2b5::1]
addnode=91.121.177.181
addnode=204.11.237.233
addnode=176.9.140.183

addnode=94.23.29.195
addnode=104.236.252.34

Dear PICISI sponsor,

For a limited time PICISI is offering each PICISI sponsor a FREE article about their entity in relation to PICISI.

Please note that the story need not relate directly to crowdfunding, or cryptocurrency, the most important factor is an informative and compelling story, we will figure out how to include PICISI, Pi, and/or other essentials. 

I invite you to take advantage of the opportunity to put your entity, you, or someone else related to your entity in the spotlight. 

Contact me via PM or here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1053613.msg11312978#msg11312978

The open source CCE 4.0 repository is now up:

https://github.com/cryptocoinexplorer/Open-Source-CCE-4.0

The example server will be up this weekend.

The open source CCE 4.0 package is a very basic version.

The web server is simple and mostly text based. The API only has 2 simple commands. It is not meant as an example of what the production version on CCE will be like, but rather a foundation for others to build on.

The database loader is also just a base version of the production version.

I cannot give away all my secrets.

Thanks for the fantastic block explorer & open sourcing CCE 4.0 basic!

I have a spare VPS I'm not using atm so I might give it a go. How much drive space would one need to run hobonickelsd & CCE 4.0?

The first example explorer for Open Source CCE 4.0 is up!

As mentioned before it is a Blakecoin explorer.

The live (Version 3.5) HoboNickels explorer database is running at about 6 GB. The database might be smaller in CCE 4, but at this point I do not have enough information to compare.

Very nice! I love the clean look and it is very snappy. Looking forward to HBN support!

[garicson]

now HBN realy only 86% early interest?

Highly variable, but given the present diff, probably pretty accurate right now

Hi Guys,

The last inflation update was quite some time ago so here are the numbers of the last six month's:

date           block        supply        inflation

HBN
1-12-2014   1451032   7540709    7,9%
1-1-2015   1556265   8096241      7,4%
1-2-2015   1680359   8765283      8,3%
1-3-2015   1800260   9349593      6,7%
1-4-2015   1932062   9998550      6,9%
1-5-2015   2059867   10683151    6,8%

CAP
1-12-2014   758924   8289383    13,4%
1-1-2015   812457   9432382       13,8%
1-2-2015   869457   10728528     13,7%
1-3-2015   926375   12058324     12,4%
1-4-2015   989934   13572195     12,6%
1-5-2015   1049849   15210644   12,1%

HYP
1-12-2014   160714   53258893   53,6%
1-1-2015   190299   75120101    41,0%
1-2-2015   221286   101346810   34,9%
1-3-2015   250312   127669954   26,0%
1-4-2015   279701   155844433   22,1%
1-5-2015   308140   183508459   17,8%


HBN has the lowest monthly inflation as always. Not al all strange because it has the lower POS rate compared to CAP and HYP. Designed at 100% but these days usually somewhere around 90% due to an increasing network stake weight. The POS rate for CAP shows similar effects. Having a POS rate somewhere around 180% these days.
All of them also show a decreasing inflation rate. It means that the increase of the money supply is more or less stable. For HYP this moment occurred about 6 months ago when a lot of people started to hit the stake maximum.

So it all looks quite nice and stable. which is quite an achievement considering the age of their block chains, almost two years for HBN and CAP and getting close to one year for HYP.

Thanks everyone for their contribution!

if you invested in hbn awhile ago even at a decent price, you have potential to get it back. Stable stable stable i will keep staking, done mining.
