the volatility is insanely low, which tells about rock bottom, unless bitcoin makes rapid moves

[forzendiablo]

Over 1GB now...  I know a solution is being pondered, but this one wallet takes over 1/16 of my memory now... and growing.

yes the wallet size is crazy

QT version 5.2.0 - that the latest?

How can I tell what Blockchain I'm on?

(bump)
In response to:
Wallet is displaying
WARNING: Checkpoint is too old.  Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers.
What is this, and what needs to be done?

I'm running v1.5.1.0-gf46fa0c-V1.5 I believe that is the latest client version and that error should go away after upgrading to it. It is my understanding that the check points are hard coded into the wallet and after the block height gets high enough (past a certain distance from the check point) the error shows up indicating that there might be a problem.  The warning can show up if the wallet does not have a recent hard coded check point or there is a problem with the block chain.  (You can check your block height against block explorers and exchanges for verification) We all recently experienced this error until Tranz released the 1.5.1 update.  I hope that helps, perhaps others can add more details or corrections if need be.

hi can anyone tell me if anything has changed with HBN i used to be able to mine with my Titan  until a few weeks ago now every time i try to mine it becomes unstable and crashes  tried several pools all the same 

Have you tried https://hash-to-coins.com

[sandpaper]

Anyone know who owns the 1.3 million coins? Is that an exchange wallet or a personal user? I don't particularly care who, as much as person or exchange.

[HCLivess]

I still wonder whether this can be of any interest:

yes several times to test  on auto switch or change worker to HBN
never comes up as mining HBN same with CAP
 HBN used to work there but something changed a few weeks ago??

why does i have so many rejected shake ?




there is something not right

with the current wallet i have  34200 hbn

i load an old wallet and i have only 21642 hbn




i gonna start a new wallet, and load all my saved wallet to see if coins left after i transfer them, hope i get all the coins

does i start transfer coins from wallet with lower amount first  ?   or start with the wallet with bigger amount and check other wallet if coins are left ?

hope i got all the coins, i notice in some wallet some shake are accepted and in other wallet not


so i guess all the rejected shake are mine but does not appear in the last wallet


i transfer 34200 to new wallet, load all the save wallets , no coins left



my 2nd wallet  started shaking few days ago
and so in last 2 days i already have 5 not accepted and 8 accepted ,
in my first old wallet i can't remember to have so much  not accepted   unless in the 2 last weeks

I would guess its Cryptsy, as that is the only operating exchange for HBN.

Cryptsy HBN Withdrawal Alert

I've just tried to withdraw a large amont of HBN from Cryptsy. Only half were sent. I tried to withdraw the other half, but only a quarter of that amount were sent. If withdrawing HBN from Cryptsy, be aware of this. No money has gone missing - at least not yet anyway. The full amounts requested for withdrawal are not being met. I've issued two support tickets and will report back as soon as I hear from Cryptsy.

Has anyone else been similarly affected?

[Woody20285]

I had that happen a lot on CAP.
Would take 4-5 w/d's to get the amount
I wanted in 1 w/d.

They explained that the # of transactions in their wallet
gets so large that it slows things down and the break w/d's to
smaller amounts. They eventually fixed it. Now sounds like it's
time to fix the HBN wallet.

takes several tickets complaining. but, they will then get to it.

[PressF1]

Same here. Annoying but in the end, you don't lose any coins. Just takes some extra effort.

Do check the amount of withdrawal fee you pay. It happened to me that I had to pay 0,5% fee and only got half the amount sent to me resulting in an actual fee of 1%. I mentioned it to cryptsy and got the excess fee refunded.

Yes, I mentioned I was charged 2 - 4 times but did not get refunded.
They gave me a couple Cryptsy Ponits which are very valuable (not)

Ongoing Cryptsy withdrawal Alert

I have mixed feelings about Cryptsy. In the past I've been both critical and supportive of them. I like the way Cryptsy have pushed the boundaries and, in Paul Vernon, they have someone upfront who strikes me as being pretty decent. However, there seems to be an issue in withdrawing large amounts of POS coins, which is happening far too regularly for comfort.

Cryptsy have sent me two emails telling me that my issue has been resolved. I tried again to withdraw, but only a fraction of what I requested came through. Here is my reply to Cryptsy:

"I have received two emails from you telling me that the issue has been resolved. The issue has not been resolved. I tried to send the rest of the HBN I hold on Cryptsy to my desktop wallet, but the same thing has happened. Only a quarter of the requested amount was sent. At first it was a half of the full amount; then a quarter of the remaing half; then a quarter of the remaining three quarters.

Whilst the fractional amounts have come through to my desktop wallet, the issue of subverting my requested amounts is continuing. I originally requested the full withdrawal amount to be sent. So far I have made three requests to withdraw one amount. Each request has cost me:

• the withdrawal fee of 0.00200000 + 0.50% HBN;
• lost POS interest for the delay in sending me the full amount; and
• time which is valuable to me.

I have taken screen shots and have reported the incident on the HoboNickels Bitcointalk thread. Others have confirmed that the same thing has happened to them. This is not the first time this type of thing has happened to me either. Previously, when I have tried to withdraw large amounts of another POS coin, it threw your system wallets into maintenance mode for a long period of time - losing myself and others a considerable amount of lost POS interest.

With regards to the current problem, I have two questions: what algorithm (linearly descending vector) in your software sends half, or quarter amounts of the remainders instead of the full amount requested? And why?"

Whether it is a person, or algorithm doing this, I believe it to be important to get to the bottom of this issue and prevent it from happening again. It makes you wonder whether Cryptsy have run out of enough HBN to send to cover large buys.

HBN and other pos wallets at crypts likely do get very bloated as many stakers send a small amount of each stake to cryptsy.  In contrast most buys are much larger in relation and that makes for large transaction sizes.  Crypts should be more proactive in combining blocks to larger sizes often so the problem is no so often encountered by buyers withdrawing large amounts.

Spot on! I've just received this email from Cryptsy:

"Hello J,

Thank you for contacting us about this issue.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you.
It appears that our wallet has many inputs built up in HBN
so the withdrawals get chopped to a size that is able to fit into the block chain.
I have informed our wallet specialist who will begin to merge inputs on HBN this way
the withdrawals will no longer be chopped in half to fit into a block.
Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this matter.

 Sincerely,
 
Joyce"

Let's hope that they take on board what you suggest, and that this does the trick.

[a_cat_named_joe]

Not impressed by Cryptsy at all. They knew about the problem from previous users. I got fed of waiting for them to give me the all-clear and successfully withdrew my HBN with a series of smaller withdrawals.

It occurs to me that the fact that the HoboNickels blockchain is becoming bloated could be largely due to the large number of small amounts tucked away in Cryptsy wallets - either intentionally, or by couldn't-care-less-ness.

Yes, I'm angry!

18th October UPDATE: I have since withdrew a moderately sizeable quatity of HBN from Cryptsy and the transaction went through very quickly with no problems. Looks like the withdrawal issue has been sorted out at least for now.
