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

[vegasguy]

For some reason, Im getting "checkpoint is too old". Im on v1.5 and everything appears fine. It is in sync. Is there a beta coming out soon?

HBN looks like a solid alt for staking. 

HBN ranks as one of the best coins out there, its stable, its trusted, and it works like a charm!

It has already been pushed. You can compile from the updated files or wait for Tranz to official release a version.

Hello all, long time since I have been here. Sorry about that.

Time tends to get away from me more each day. I think in the last few weeks, I have spent less then 5 hours on the computer, that was not work related.  Between work, family and Ninja training I have been pretty swamped. Also lost my production computer(bad power) last week. And now my dev computer is dying(not sure why).

I'll read through all the messages and posts since I was out. Looks like things are going pretty well just the usual problems.

First off, do not worry about the checkpoint too old message. I have been only setting check points manually as we are getting more secure each day. I have a new version ready on github that will remove this message along with other things.

Secondly I'll be releasing 1.5.1 here tonight or Saturday. This will mostly be a Windows and Self Compiler version only. Unless we can get someone to do the mac update. It will include the checkpoint message fix, as noted above, as well as the split/combine update as seen in the previous github.

Also just for the record my plans with HBN haven't changed. Just right now we are in cruise control, so lets just enjoy the ride.

Thanks all!

Need some help. About a week or more ago my Mac Hobo wallet crashed for some unknown reason. Every time I would launch it after would just cause a crash prior to loading the wallet. Seemed to be failing on the blockchain load. I went as far as to delete everything in the folder. I did back up my wallet file so know thats in a safe spot. Ever since I have tried to resync the block chain a few times. Get a day or two into downloading it. For some reason wallet stops syncing. I close and restart wallet, and then the app crashes again and I have to start downloading blockchain all over again. I have tried resyncing the Mac wallet on 3 different mac machines i own and it doesn't make it through it and i can't get wallet to finish syncing or load properly. I did download the blockchain available download. fresh install folder, replace files in directory, and app crashes before getting into wallet. Then have to start all over again. A bit frustrating since i haven't been able to get into my hobo wallet for over 10 days now trying to resent the wallet.
Some ideas or a fix / update to the mac wallet would be appreciated.

Hard to tell from your post, so if you've already done this, ignore me

But try to sync with a new wallet, all the way. THEN turn off your client and copy the old wallet.dat in place. If it crashes, then you've got a corrupt wallet.dat file. There are a few ways around that. First one is to start the client with the -salvagewallet flag, which will attempt to bring everything back. If it works, then you'll want to dump the private keys and import them into a new wallet.dat file. Just on general principles.

Well I have tried about every combination I can think of to resync my mac wallet. two different machines. fresh installs without my wallet file. I am able to start syncing and get about 2/3 of the way done, for some reason it stops syncing on both macs, crashes the wallet, then can't restart wallet without crashing. I have also tried downloading available march blockchain from a fresh install and replacing files in library and upon next wallet launch it crashes just like when i tried syncing manually on both machines. I am convinced there is something else wrong outside of my computers. Seems something is wrong with the mac wallet. Any other mac users having trouble. almost two weeks here not being able to load my wallet up. Getting ready to goto a friends house if I can't get this resolved soon, synch up on a windows machine(i dont own one) get to my coins and transfer out to an exchange for sale. I would rather not but unless I can get a working wallet I am not sure what else to do. Any additional ideas appreciated. Maybe someone want to share an updated blochain and tx data file for me to try loading up?

I am not a mac-user so I can't help you there, in windows everything works just fine. But there is a bootstrap blockchain and tx data file that could be of use to you. I tested it for you and it works ok. It's close to 3 months old.

I appreciate the suggestion. I have been trying to use the bootstrap for days now. Gets to 344.5 Mb stops, closes HBN wallet. Go and restart and appears to fail on import.Blockchain still a year left to resync upon a restart. Keeps stopping in same place.
Maybe I am a bit confused about the process of loading the bootstrap. Sorry for my ignorance. This is what I have been doing.
When I delete the entire hobo directory(of course backing up wallet.dat) I start HBN so all the files are recreated. Then I copy the blockchain file and the tx data directory in and replace all files. and restart, the wallet completely fails and won't open. I have also tried renaming the blockchain file to bootstrap.dat and with the copied tx data folder it also fails to open wallet and crashes.. I have also tried from a fresh install of all files only copying the blockchain file, renamed to bootstrap.dat and that seems to start loading the file, but then stops at 344.5 Mb.
Can someone give me some better instructions for loading these files up after a fresh wallet install? Just looking for ideas. I have loaded bootstraps before for other wallets, but never had this much trouble!

Frostbite, mac by defaults limits the number of open files to a very small number. This causes major issues with many wallets, especially fast  block ones. Please see this informational post on a fix.

Thanks for the info. Security and stability is valuable. Development takes time.

Lets have a stake-for-Tranz month, I announce June

Just open wallet, stake for charity, value you want (50%) to F1TranzWqFGZyFeTMu6iLbtTQgdXuJPsiL

Done, I will give my 50% stake to Tranz

I really think this coin will have an awesome future.

There is no question it ranks at the safest place to put your money in crypto. With 99% of new coins being scams, its nice to know there truly is a safe place that can yield high returns and price is stable. I think when people wake up and stop playing with those scams, there will be a much larger demand for more secure/trusted coins such as HBN / CAP /Tek ect. I mine HBN/CAP mostly , but a new coin will be lucky if they get a few hours of my mining time.

What do you think about miss Carter's coins and Blakecoin BLC?

Ill make this brief as this is a HBN thread and I want to stay on topic. Blake has been around forever, and there is no benefit to buying or holding blake. Difference is HBN there IS a reason to buy and hold, especially now the price is stable. You get 100% per year stake rewards. Probably the best investment in crypto right now , as its probably the safest. Ya, you might get lucky and mine one of those 1 in 1000 coins that goes high, and eat dirt on the other 999 coins, but I will enjoy 100% a year interest with HBN and 200% a year interest with bottlecaps, and not have to worry.

Thanks for input, I fully agree  CAPs are even cheaper. I havent looked into Presstab's HYP yet, but since he is Tranz's padawan, there would be no reason for me to hedge that way.

By the way, please buy the rest of my sell walls on BTC-38 and Bittirex and sure why not Cryptsy too.  Fake roadmap to follow.
