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

[CoinEraser]

Dude - the hash for POW went to almost 0 for a couple of days
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/hbn/#@diff

Yes, on this part of the blockchain we have no PoW for this timeframe, but on the other part of the blockchain (in a fork) we have a lot of Pow blocks. But you can not see that in BE anymore. 

right, right ... the hash didn't disappear it forked to another chain.   Makes me think a single pool somewhere, is all the hash.  (A pool I do not know of)  It's basically a 51% attack without the malice.   

Yes, that is possible. If the checkpoint server had not failed, it would not be the problem with these PoW blocks. But now everything is running again and in a few weeks, there is no PoW mining possibility anyway.

Anyone tried this service to buy HBN by card? https://indacoin.com/en_GB/change/buy-hobonickels-with-cardusd

[versprichnix]

I followed Tranz's instructions (post #5388) to get my client working again.
Before, I had around 70,000 HBN in the wallet, now I only have 19,000 HBN.
Where did my coins go?

The height equals the blocks.

Thanks,

Randall

I see three possibilities for the missing coins:

a) staking on a fork for a longer time. The staked coins are then gone.

b) Import of private keys, without making a backup instantly. Through a restore they are gone too.

c) By each 100 keypairs in use the wallet creates new 100 keypairs. In this case the wallet has to be backed up instantly, otherwise the coins are gone on a restore.

Did Tranz consider switching to coin weights from coin age? The way $BLK has it
it is by design more splitproof

Not sure what you mean, but coin weight is a combination of UTXO size by coin age. Which is already used in the staking algo.

Cryptopia is doing network maintenance today 31th August, to investigate network issues.
Does anybody know more about this?

Yea I was thinking the same thing.  Came here to check.  The HBN/Doge market is down too, but a bunch of DOGE pairs are down.  Doge has gone - well Doge does what Doge does.

Cryptopia does have a lot (20 or more?) of coins in Maintenance right now, even some larger ones like OMG.  They are showing 15 connections, and my wallet looks good too.  So hopefully its just Cryptopia doing maintenance and nothing more.

I think it's just a maintance and not more. Otherwise the network looks good to me and there don't seem to be any problems. Maybe it's still due to the problems two weeks ago. That could be why Cryptopia is in maintance, but I'm not sure either.

Hey @Tranz do you think sending an email to:

i just filed a support ticket asking why they've been 'investigating' for five weeks.
perhaps they need to see some interest in the coin before they give it any sort of attention.

i just opened up a ticket as well.  I'll probably get the same response, but ... why not.  Little more than a bump/ping.

Good idea, I'll do that in some minutes too. It's really not nice that Cryptopia needs so long for the investigation. The network is running clean and stable, so i don't get it, why they need so much time.

response -

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your frustration, however we are unable to release a coin from maintenance until we are sure all its issues are resolved. I hope I can give you some insight as to why this happens, as I understand parts of cryptocurrency can be opaque and I want to reassure you that your coins are safe.

Cryptopia will only ever put a coin into maintenance if we feel that not doing so will cause more issues for our users. If a wallet is crashing or there is an update that is not optimised for our large wallet sizes, bringing the coin out of maintenance too quickly would cause issues that would take longer to fix than if we ensured that the issue was completely resolved first. Due to the nature of coin maintenance issues, our devs are working on all coin problems simultaneously, and need to prioritise certain coins so that as few users as possible are affected. As this is different from day to day, we are unable to provide an estimated time for when this maintenance will be complete.

Please be assured that our primary concern is to keep your coins safe and while we fully realise this is frustrating for you and our other HBN coin holders, please kindly note this is one of our wallet teams main priorities at the moment. We hope everything will be resolved soon. Should you wish to find out more about what it means when a wallet goes into maintenance, please have a read our our knowledge base article here:

Thank you very much for your patience, we really appreciate it Kind regards, Carl

Idea / Question

How about a HBN bounty for everyone who opens a ticket on Cryptopia requesting they release the coin from Maintenance?
