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

[lightspeedy]

Yesterday my wallet stopped syncing and so I restarted it and now its been in rescanning mode for about 16 hours.  Is that normal or should I do something different?  Thanks.

The duration of the rescanning depends on how many transactions the wallet has. That's why I do suggest to move the funds to a new wallet from time to time.
The risk here is that your funds will stop staking until they have matured again for staking.

Do not forget to make a backup of the wallet regularly.

Thanks.  I am just curious why it's needed to overwrite the wallet.dat in backups.

Also, its still going on so I think I'll just use a bootstrap. 

[paramind22]

Also, the bootstrap doesn't seem to really be a bootstrap in that I seem to be doing a multiday resync when I use it.

Goes to show these QT wallets are often very different than one another.  

Would it be quicker to do a bootstrap or a rescan?  I'm not impatient just curious about the science.  

Note: the bootstrap seems to be stuck on 2 years 74 days.   Why upload recent bootstraps when they are in fact old?

Has anybody take a note of the current richlist?
We have a whale among us, who has consolidated its wallets and accumulated up to 39.4m HBN.
Any questions?

This amount has been stolen from the hoster "bitcoinwebhosting" in the Netherlands. Take care about all hosters, it's easy to compromise the hosts with backdoors. Stake youself privately. Don't pay too much for HBN.

Another large amounts that have been stolen are ALIAS and PIVX. Take care!

I'm still getting nowhere getting back up to sync.  I never expected this kind of problem with Hobonickels.

Try this IP:
addnode=185.150.190.19

it has 33 connections, it should be fine. without guaranty

Thanks. 

That was odd.  The conf file had no nodes in it but I was staking fine for about a year and didn't change anything.

OMG! From where do you have this info?

Antimatter does not exist in the form physicists believe. Instead the antiparticles are orthomatter, in the sense the economic behaviour of the antiparticles crosses the orthogonal economy of the common matter. They annihilate on contact because the economy of the orthomatter contradicts the economy of the common matter.

So, I'm still dealing with the wallet issues.  I just managed to sync with a new wallet file.  So, I copied the address of the new wallet and
will boot up the old wallet file in the same installation and see if it comes up so I can send coins from old wallet to the new wallet.

Is there a better way to do this?

I would do it the same way. Give it a try!

[paramind22]

When I did it it went into rescanning and gave a fatal error: could not open wallet.dat

I did have the new wallet renamed in that directory, trying again with removing it. (Same results).

Trying it in old directory that was rescanning with the new node.  

[paramind22]

I found a old copy of my wallet that's 88 K, the same size as the new wallet that the QT installs.

I am going to see if I can sync from that instead of the 600 K wallet that I've been using. 

[paramind22]

It is syncing fine.  There is a couple of lessons here:

1.  The blockchain download is not interchangeable with various wallets (it crashed).  When it syncs with old wallet, I will therefore have to download a completely new blockchain in directory to start using the new wallet (which address I copied and will send to).

2.  It is probably best to keep an early, small copy of your wallet around to sync from than a large one (mine wasn't even that old, I think 2 years).

3.  I'm also thinking maybe a Windows 10 update is what killed my installation.   It had happened before with other wallets, but I complained and was thinking perhaps they fixed something. 

[paramind22]

Everything sync'd fine.  I would like to buy in more around the 6 Sat range.  If I can do that I'll continue to help promote it.   There are not many buy orders for 7 Sat, just about 3850.

Hi
Everyone, that wants to change now from the UTXO blockchain to a multichain (ETH/MATIC) network.
You can convert your HBN to HOBO

Whitepaper Release: very soon

Thanks

Personally I am not switching into any ERC20 where one person holds all funds
