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

[vancefox]

Does anyone have the approximate best height of HBN? I was under the impression that it is currently 2m+ blocks correct? Still have a server dedicated to HBN only bootstrapping nonstop trying to catch up. right now it is around 1.4m blocks in. I am assuming it is taking long because HBN uses scrypt which is a bit harder to hash than some of the other algos.

FYI, it's taken about 2 days for me to fully sync from scratch when I moved to a new computer.  HBN has been quite the resource hog.

How's the sync going presstab?  Damn thing takes forever, huh?

2 day for a 3+ year old coin, is really not bad, especially looking at one that is 30 second block time. You must have a fairly fast computer.  I still don't have an answer for the amount of ram that the daemon uses. But I am beginning some research into it.  CPU is pretty low, just keep your block sizes large and use the auto combine you should be in good shape.

I've moved to a quad core i7 and ssd for my coin server.  The dual core xenon server cpu wasn't doing it anymore... relegated it to media serving through plex.

I manually combine to ~7-8k block size which has helped a lot... but I made sure to build it with 32GB of RAM...

32! 

My main is 16 and even with 3-4 coins + web stuff I still have 50% free.

how to use the auto combine feature?

[pazor_true]

currently the diff is below 10 for HBN
so... mine !

how to use the auto combine feature?

in console type command combinethreshold 1000 ( it will set the maximum it will be probably less than 1000 , seems like it can be up to 0.3% of total amount of coins in wallet)

you may set up in same manner splitthreshold command

"proof-of-work" : 18.09070715,

haha, that's ridiculously low

memory is cheap now... I remember the days of 1MB being huge...  I had two 512K sticks and thought I was the shit...

where can now someone trade HBN ?
other exchanges ?

volumes are very low same as price

actually cpu for hbn is the highest i have

it us 45% of my cpu  old athlon x2 4200+
i m running 8 POS wallets on it, possible to add 1 more   with 8 giga ram
cpu usage 95% average  ram 5.35 giga used


second wallet runing on a p4 3ghz  4gig ram    5 POS wallets  running
80% cpu usage , ram 2.8giga used
same probleme hbn using mostly 1 core on it s own and more than 1 giga of ram

so could be great if it use half less resources

for downloading the blockchaine it s very to slow
even if i add 2 local wallets as node  it s downloading at very low speed  a few kb/s

better manually copy the blockchaine for a computer to an other

My HBN wallet uses over 1200MB of RAM but is staking like crazy, hundreds of HBN daily. ::*)

bootstrap (as in the real bootstrap.dat method). Dedicated VPS with only HBN on it. Dual core 2gb ram. Using 100% CPU right now while strapping, and about 50% ram.

Oh, I guess I don't really know what a bootstrap is then.

You basically just rename a blk0001.dat to bootstrap.dat, then the machine bootstrapping scans block 0 through the top block and goes through all of the checks and indexing. Otherwise if you just copy and paste files from someones machines you have not verified that they are not tampered with.
