There are no shares in solo mining. Either you solve a block or not.  You should not set the difficulty yourself. Allow the wallet to feed the miners. Also be sure the wallet is unlocked.

@Tranz: Anything new in store for HoboNickels?

We should have an Active  HBN irc channel with tip bots. lets get going guys.

Actually the fork for CAPs just completed, and so far so good. (Knock Knock). So here soon I will continue further development for HBN version 1.5.

I have a few things planned, but I would love to hear from the community on what you guys would like to see..

[incognitoworker]

can dev plz contact coinking.io pool to have them add autoconvert to hbn?
i asked them about it, and they said devs must contact them.
my gridseeds dont like any of the other pools with this option, so would really like to have it added :-)

An original idea added to the wallet graphics might work wonders.

BTW, I notice that, in coin control ,the 'weight' column is something that I do not see in most other PoS coins (I run wallets for around 30 different PoS currencies), even though it could be easily copied. For that reason I would guess that HBN is not being too closely followed atm by other PoS devs, and you could bear that in mind when innovating (a head-start could be achieved if the right progressive innovation is adopted)


I hope that makes sense to you :  it is a tactical observation, rather than a specific suggestion.

We've just hit a mile stone,

1 million HBN blocks have been solved and just over 5.125 million HBN generated.  I think inflation has been well controlled this far.

For those who just start following, there is a 5 HBN reward for block solving, if this was purely PoW, we would have 5 Millions HBN in the network, 125 thousand more is not that bad (about 2,5% more)

This is cool

I love seeing weight in coin control. This is my first POS coin and all others after haven't had that ability.

I would like to see all of the stats that show up when you hover over the green icon always be shown on the front stats area. Plenty of room

What do you mean "font stats area"? Do you mean when you click the green icon?

I'm sad. I missed it.      It's like the first time hitting 100k on your car..

lol yeah, it does feel that way a little bit

[presstab]

HBN has grown a lot since the good old days. I am happy that it is finally a time where I feel comfortable buying at the exchange rate.

Think he means the Overview tab. That would be nice, to see time since last block - last block number and staking weight / projected time etc at a glance.
Cosmetic but effective unless it adversely impacts cpu load or something.

bearing in mind the message ou put on the CAP thread yesterday when the CAP checkpointing server went on the fritz.
Is there a way of trafficlighting the network status on the client and pushing messages out directly to wallets?

such as "please watch your sends and receives" OR "No cryptsy deposits" and possibly a link to a relevant forum post  or twitter

People will tend to have the wallet open 24/7 but not be reading here or http://www.hobonickels.info/

I can send alerts to both clients. But I try to save those for emergencies. If we did roll back a 2nd time yesterday that would have happened. But it was caught and corrected before that.

But I do get what you are saying. I will keep it in mind for 1.5.

Thanks!

True that.  I still remember a time when I was close to the only person on the order book. The price holding at a nickel is great IMO.

^ yeah after the manic bubble UP and the usual worries & FUD on the return slope I think somewhere between here and 20k should be about normal
I was surprised to see HBN fall through 10k sats but then the recent recovery (post CAP fork) as interest swings and people see cheap coin on the books.

Also another thought on update.

Would it be possible? - not sure about sensible and open to abuse -

To allow a text field allowing free text to be added to the blockchain when you POS a block.

I'm thinking in terms of the future charity activities and community info to be immortalised such as
"The red cross adopts HBN today" and
"$x donated by HBN users to xxx"
Major funding activities and disaster funds could be highlighted in the client as well a s a future "This day in Hobo History" field sourced and serviced by this free text function...

Also giving particular addresses functionality as in a certified charity address/wallet could should be able to do things a standard wallet/address can't

Anything specific you had in mind or just a fresh gui?

A GUI which gets further away from the look of the generic cryptocurrency wallet. Custom coloring and design , friendly and easy aesthetics, maybe an option to incorporate a name screen ( 'Welcome back Tranz' etc, and avatar). I know this will take a bit of design skill, but it will be a strong driver in:

A. Distinguishing HBN from other coins.

B. Encouraging adoption and network support. The right GUI can persuade users to open the wallet more frequently and say to their friends 'Hey, look at this'

I agree. The multi-wallet is already a strong selling point (I use HBN for people who know nothing about bitcoin and want to get in and prefer their money not to sleep because I can use the multiwallet for this).

Update:HBN is number 4 on allcoin's voting list! 5 days left to go for HBN on allcoins, we can make it. https://www.allcoin.com/vote/#HBN

So I have considered adding messaging to the client and block chain. I do like your ideas. So I might begin to consider it more seriously. The only thing that is really holding me back is I am not sure if this type of thing would really bloat the block chain, it may also require a hard fork, so I would have to keep both of those in mind before we moved down that road.

The S4C will make it fully into the gui, and may also have some charities of choice hard coded as well.

Great ideas, keep them coming.

For all my strengths graphic design is not really among them, although I haven't given it a lot of time to develop.  So I might need some help from the community on this aspect.
