[TEK] TEKcoin Hi-PoS hybrid pos/pow no premine/ipo/ico

[subSTRATA]

version 1.9 will create forks everytime someone stakes due to an overlook in the code. same thing used to happen with bottlecaps.

Versions 1.2 and 1.9.1 are abandoned wallets which were supposed to end up on their own fork. Version v1.1 is wallet that is supposed to continue working after hard-fork but it
seems it is accepting PoW from all wallet versions so there are at least 3 versions of v1.1 blockchains:

1. One where PoW from 1.2 and 1.9.1 miners was erroneously accepted, PoS blocks by 1.1 will cause 1.1 node to end up banned.

2. One where PoW from 1.2 and 1.9.1 miners was not accepted but PoS blocks will be rejected anyway because nodes are on very different block heights (based on number of PoS
blocks each of them staked for themselves).

3. One where everything is perfectly fine, wallet version 1.1 PoW mining works and PoS staking does not cause forking - even nodes you mentioned are not complaining on submitted
work which means it is compatible with your version of blockchain but here is the kicker = your blockchain is shorter (less work done) so please upgrade to our version. Yet another
version of partially tested wallet in a situation where half of network didn't even switched to 1.1 is horrible idea.

Say I take your suggestion, delete my chain, restart my client sync to yours and mint a couple stake blocks. We will STILL be in the exact same situation we are now, because my client and anyone on my client will go off on their own fork and the pow pools will STILL be mining on their chain. At some point in time blocks are going to be orphaned because the proof of workers wont stop working. Either update and sync with the people staking or continue the work chain, sooner or later everyone will have to choose one and what im not doing is all this work over again. The great thing about consensus is the choice is ultimately yours.

Yes, I can opt for not using one more potentialy horrible version of wallet and I will do so. Once a week passes without your version having issues I will switch - not before.

hey you two, I appreciate your hard work, and just hope as do all of us that everything gets resolved amicably...

[subSTRATA]

No thanks, there must exist a valid 1.1 version of blockchain, just in case your wallet causes major issues else you will have to rollback everyone back to hard-fork point.

[ofeefee]

Do you have an active node using sync checkpoints?  I see the key was changed in the update.  We should be using the chain that the node is on.

[4x13]

OK, so what is the concensus here?? Do we stay where we are at? update or roll back before the last fork??

[defaced]

well the client i made IS the standard client on the main tekcoin repo, so it seems someone has already decided.

Now we have to decide WHERE do we want to start staking blocks at? From last night when i originally turned on the fix to test if it worked? Or do we want to start now so some folks can keep their PoW blocks.

I dont know the answer. :/

[x3maniac]

Before anyone does anything else, just stop ^_^

Update your client to the latest update. When you do "getinfo" it will look similar to this

Code:

{
    "version" : "v2.0.1.0-gf96a5a-TEK",
    "protocolversion" : 60007,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 1704.28190100,
    "newmint" : 0.00000000,
    "stake" : 2568.20805900,
    "blocks" : 506608,
    "moneysupply" : 1868796.74635500,
    "connections" : 43,
    "proxy" : "",
    "ip" : "74.196.63.95",
    "difficulty" : 34026.30075343,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1399997248,
    "keypoolsize" : 102,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00010000,
    "errors" : ""
}

This protocol makes it so PoS and PoW difficulties are calculated correctly which was over looked during the original update and the reason why as soon as anyone staked they created their own fork.

really not overly concerned about losing a days mining, just want to be back on track and mining again without hopefully many future issues I say we start over from yesterday, before the losse compile even more. Rip the bandaid off

[defaced]

Thats because I turned the client on last night, after the changes were pushed to the repo. Today people are updating, which means all the people who didnt update last night kept mining work blocks.

Which is why their chain is longer, but their chain doesnt calculate stake like mine does which is why mine isnt accepting their blocks and why they arnt accepting my blocks and why im at 506608 and they are at a higher block count.

We could disregard my chain and sync to the current work chain but as soon as one person stakes, the first person to stake will be a fork from the people who havnt upgraded yet. And the argument starts alllllllll over again.

"do we orphan the workers who havnt updated, or do we delete our staked chain and sync to their longer chain"

and then the loop happens again! and again and again and again until someone finally says "this is the chain we are using"

The workers are going to want to keep their easily mined work blocks, the stakers are trying to say, enough is enough lets get stake working again, and everyone else is confused. I vote we paper rock scissors the answer.

[vancefox]

Why don't we just get the checkpoint working... A little bit of PoW lost doesn't really compare to the loss of the primary reason why people get this coin... PoS...

We need 2.0.0.

i think we should stick to your chain 506608 and continue from there. since you can confirm everything is working. i'll connect to your IP and open up my ports once it's sync'd. sounds like a deal?

Unless you orphan those who have not upgraded or are on any other than legit longest blockchain (the most work done) than it is failed hard-fork.

Block height 507116
Time 17:47:37 (+1 GMT)
"proof-of-work" : 250768.75421742,
"proof-of-stake" : 0.00006103,
Staking or mining within this swarm does not cause IP ban

So how come few 1.1 nodes are working properly and others are all over the place? Also, how it is possible nodes on 2.0 are accepting work from this swarm but still refuse to
sync up to our block height?

so, i'have stop the download and delete again all data, of course not the wallet.dat

please give me a correct host, with the correct blockcain.

my server is up to date to original https://github.com/maxxine/TEK

Of course it's a failed fork.  Let's unfuck this fork.

[xhabit]

me too! connect=74.196.63.95

[xhabit]

yes this look nice ...

[4x13]

I say we jump back to defaced's blockchain and orphan those who don't pay enough attention to update. (Yes I know this may suck for some, but it is what it is) I am losing as well as many, and I will recoup. lets do this..
