I have that up and running now , staking well !

One comment: The Coin Control time seems to be in UTC , whereas Transaction times are set to local clock. Is that a deliberate feature ?

Thanks guys. It's comforting to see such great support from the hbn devs.

1.4 running fine. I just wish the startup time was faster. Loading block index takes forever.

All PoS coins are slow startups. HBN has a lot of extra wallet features,and that is worth the wait.

Moral here : Shut the wallet down less often: leave it running as much as possible.

1.4 running fine too, and I think the start of the client was a bit faster then with 1.3.1 (or may be I'm just want it so )
Love all the new things, these buttons  and the full info by getmininginfo command.

Not really a great way to fix this yet unless a new wallet is made that doesn't have to load the block chain.  30 second blocks makes the chain grow quickly.  Indexing the chain can take some time.

Hi Tranz!
Thanks for update! Works great.

I've made a quick calculation using http://hbn.blockx.info block explorer with data just for 1 hour of HBN blockchain live, and got the result of 93 PoS and 45 PoW blocks per hour, nice 2/1 relation.
Of course it needs far more data to analysis, but still interesting picture I think.

Edit: what a huge spike of PoS diff https://scrypt.io/graphs/hbninfo_posdiff-week.png

Interesting... Also seeing the difference in average money supply added from PoS vs PoW would be interesting.

Great news and a big thank you to Tranz for taking the lead with HBN!

Yes I have been thinking of more ways to speed it up. Such as compiling with 64 bit(may help) and/or threading the init load. Difficulties arrise on both.

Maybe consider adding progress bar. Users are more willing to wait if they know how long they have to wait.

Perhaps take a look at what PHS is doing? One of the more recent updates to the PHS client lowered loading time significantly.

For comparison
PHS load time: 14s
HBN load time: 281s

The code is very close, and comes from NVC's fast start. PHS is at block ~200,000, HBN is approaching 750,000. So PHS will also slow as time goes.

However I will take another look at sometime and see if I missed something.

Didn't think of the vast difference in block count.

Appreciate all the work you put into this coin.

Thanks for the update Tranz, good stuff man. 

[Tranz]

Acutally I just found the issue.

1 line.

        READWRITE(blockHash);


I will be testing this over the next few days and then re-releasing 1.4.0.1.  I think it might be it!
