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

[Tranz]

HBN qt wallet currently pushes close to 1GB on the memory.  

It is becoming a bit of a concern, the HBN blockchain is gigantic. Have there been any suggestions on how to manage this going forward?

I've had to remove mine from my PI, its just not capable of running it with any confidence.

It is getting very demanding to run, but not sure if this can be helped.  

My dedicated staking machine is a mini pc with a 1.8ghz Atom processor and 1 gb of ram.  HBN just barely runs. It frequently goes to 'not responding' even though its the only application I have running. I am running the Windows version, I may try the a linux client to see if I can get more performance (I figure running something like Puppy Linux at least would free up more system resources).

But ya, 1.8Ghz with 1 gb of ram in Windows and I can barely even get to sync again (my blockchain got messed up and I've been trying to resync for a least week using the downloaded blockchain but not having much luck).



Not that I'm complaining, I realize a lot of processor power is required. But wanted to say for others who are looking at using a dedicated staking machine, you'll probably want 2GB o rammage.

Side note: damn, wish i bought more coins at 0.00003. I don't know if we'll ever see that price again, who knows.

Yes this can be quite taxing.  As the winter months approach I'll begin to see if this is possible to address.

I can tell you that one way to help lower the usage a bit it is use a new wallet.  Essentially what you do is start fresh on a new wallet and chain, with no coins in the wallet. Once it is up to speed, transfer all coins from the old wallet to the new wallet. You can do it in chunks or as one big send.   You can't do this using the same working directory as the current running wallet, so you can use the startup switch -datadir=c:\newwallet (for example). Or you can do it from another computer. And swap out after the sends are complete.

Depending on how many wallet entries you have, this can save .1 to up to half a gig of memory. I have a wallet running from almost the 1st month of the chain. Staking, sending 24/7.  That wallet's memory usage is almost double an empty fresh chain.  So it can help if you are a long time user.

As always make backups and be careful!

Hmm.. hey Traz , how difficult would this be at add to the wallet in real time?

I wrote an article on the chart above: http://bitcoinlasvegas.net/hobonickels-coin-hbn-and-why-its-the-best-cryptocoin-there-is/

Probably not terribly difficulty. But that return can change quite a bit, from the price of BTC to the current HBN stake %. Plus it would bulk up the wallet more. Which right now, until memory usage is a bit more controlled may not be the best thing to do.

That type of thing is better as a stand alone app, or a macro spread sheet.

Good evening all.

I'm looking for a pool to mine HBN. I can't seem to find a reliable one. Suggestions?

Conscripted

This is actually a good question. Does anyone have an updated pool list?

Script IO is still up and running.

@Tranz, hobonickels.info has a majorly outdated list of pools, and it also lacks a link for the updated 1.5.1 wallet.  You're dedicated & reliable: we all appreciate that!  Just kinda frustrating, is all.

@Conscripted,
  I've had this problem a number of times before, but most difficult recently, beginning August 27 or so, when my then-favorite, coinmine.pw, was inexplicably unable to access their payment server & shut down.  I had a hard time finding another pool with a decent number of users devoted to the pool.  I found scrypt.io and tompool's HBN pool (http://tompool.org:8080/hbnmine/public/) to be performing horribly with my ASICs, as if on older stratum software.  Just made my 3.6 MHs operate at less than 1.  I've found hash-to-coins.com also went down a number of times over the past week, but always came back up.  They seem to be active in staying on top of what seems to me to be a number of pool hits.  Could just be a fluke, but seems orchestrated to me.
  I've only found hash-to-coins to be reliable lately.  Let us know if you've found a different one--I sure wouldn't mind having another backup other than scrypt.io or tompool!

Hey, it's ok after the installation of :  libminiupnpc-dev

Maybe you should add this dependency on the doc on build-unix.txt

Fair. Really the wallet link points to the github release, which always has the most up to date wallet. Plus the link is to the last major release, which has Mac and full change long.

Regarding the pools. I am asking for a list, so I can update all of them. I do not have this information.

I do agree there are some stale links that need updated or removed. I'll look at updating them, here soon.

Great I am happy.

Just remember Github is public, hobonickels is public. Issuing a simple pull request for a change like this is much better then relying on only 1 person.   The more help the community gives the better, even for something as simple as an update to the docs.

Thanks!

hope HBN still raises in price

I would welcome a wider acceptance of exchanges, price is not necessarily a factor due to the PoS mechanisms
Stable price is completely OK

[alibabacool]

Cryptsy's wallet is in maintenance mode.

Upd: Back online.

[HCLivess]

We are bouncing between 3600 sat and 5000 sat
This might be a good trading/investment opportunity
Looks like the bottom is rock solid at 2900 sat

I keep looking at some smaller projects, but none has such good market indicators as HBN, bought 20k more last month

[Woody20285]

I agree bought a bunch today

Good choice, one of the best pools. https://hash-to-coins.com

[valta4065]

I looked at that but it only shows a pool hash rate of 14KH/s. That isn't a lot better than solo mining.

Hash2coins is real good
