[ANN] "Cubits"(QBT) HI POS Coin v2.1.3-Starbuck UPDATED!

[Dunkelheit667]

I think my node is on the right chain (block 489926 for now).

[1714222612]

1714222612

[vampirus]

Now good chain 490036, and bad chain 496785

Wrong chain IPs:
142.68.155.58 Canada
99.192.64.28 Canada
64.71.72.56 United States

[Dunkelheit667]

How can we help meanwhile? I guess fire up a client and generate as much blocks as possible while connected to 47.20.250.38?

[vampirus]

Number of blocks do not matter. Important parameter only cumulative PoS difficulty.
And in our case when too many block different in chains, one can't destroy other.

[mogrith]

I think I'm on the right chain I'm on block 490233.

Now good chain 490036, and bad chain 496785

Wrong chain IPs:
142.68.155.58 Canada
99.192.64.28 Canada
64.71.72.56 United States

I investigate why fork happened. It was because some users continue use old version after hardfork date and create own fork after block 408714. When they switch to new wallet, they use old database. Their forked blockchain not compatible with main chain and can't destroy it.

[Dunkelheit667]

Thanks for checking vampirus.

With other words the main chain is save, right?

Could you create a new client that will ignore/ban connections to other clients on the wrong chain after block 408714 and/or force the download of the main chain in case the old database is used?

[vampirus]

No need new version because in new client other fork can't be downloaded after 408714 block (already was old version checking)
If you want disconnect other fork, just add to config: banscore=10

[Mike Mayor]

So the coin gets 300% after 120 days ? Because that is full weight ? So it is a longterm coin.
I'm not sure if I like that or not.... Hmmm.... Will transactions slow down the staking or make you lose weight ?

[vampirus]

Full weight after 45 days. And you get only 100 coin per transaction maximum.

Cubits was forked.
Good   chain 489735 (my chain)
Wrong chain 496500

Why 489735 main chain? Because my wallet online 24/7 and Cryptopia on same chain.

To re-synch: create another Cubits.conf and add only:

addnode=47.20.250.38
maxconnections=1

remove blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat
then re-synch from scratch.

That addnode does not work, I tried what you say there and it simply results in zero connections.

[vampirus]

To MarkM.
If you was on other chain, try after 24 hours (IP with wrong blocks banned)
And first download zipped windows blockchain (2016.03.28) http://www.scificrypto.info/files/cubits3chain.zip
Later I update it.

[markm]

But you also wrote this:

No need new version because in new client other fork can't be downloaded after 408714 block (already was old version checking)
If you want disconnect other fork, just add to config: banscore=10

So presumably even though the only node that currently is willing to connect is that bad node you listed as in the U.S., nonetheless I will end up only downloading from it up to that block, then will be stuck until I do manage to connect to one of the nodes that has the new blackchain...

Oh wait also I just noticed that U.S. bad node was my third party server, which I have also re-started. So actually my home nodes are downloading from it as it downloads from someone else.

If there were only three bad nodes they were probably my third party server in the U.S. and my home servers in town and country houses. Country house if off the net for some reason and both nodes in townhouse are starting from scratch some hopefully they will get good blockchain now.


...By the way, isn't multiplying the number of coins by four every year going to get out of hand pretty quick? Or does the staking percentage shrink over the years?

-MarkM-

[markm]

Up to block 493830 now, which should be new chain now since it cannot download old past that certain block you mentioned?

One thing that is wierd is along the way sometimes seeing some stake, though so far there is no sign of orignal monies some of which date back to original spawned coins issued to people who had been on the even older versions of cubits.

I think my coins are actually in the node that only got up to block 274305 so far and seems to have been there a while now working through some stuff where it is seeing mismatched transactions or something like that.

(Check proof of stake failed.)

It shows newmint of 18.75 but no stake nor balance.

And 7 connections.

Both nodes that have existing wallets in them have a lot of mismatched coins shown by checkwallet so I am trying repairwallet on them.

One node completed repair ok so far, is up to block 493844 and seems to have its coins okay. Four connections.

Third party server in the U.S. never had coins of course since I don't physically control the server so obviously stupid to have any coins there, so no repair needed there, it is up to block 493844 also (six connections) so looks like it is probably all caught up, now I am just waiting for my other home server, with a wallet, that is still somehow stuck at ancient block but nonetheless running wallet repair to try to figure out why it shows newmint with no stake nor balance.

About inflation. Only 20*24*365*100 = 17.52M QBT issued per year maximum.
If all PoW mined coins will be use for PoS minting, everyone get only 17*100/28 = 60% in first year.
If only half of users start minting, they get 120% average. But someone may get 200%,
other 10% based on time wallet is online and optimal block size.

[markm]

The server stuck at block 274305 finished its repair, shows its coins now. Maybe it is slowing itself down by trying to mint with the coins it already has or something.

It has seven connections and keep failing to connect to more, and keeps failing to find previous transaction and finding bad proof of stake.

Maybe there was just a whole bunch of orphans at that point in the past and its taking longer then my other machines to process them.

I stopped it and re-started it and now it seems to be getting blocks again.

Do you also happen to run AXIOM? As it looks like maybe something similar happened to that blockchain, I still have not received, still, a transaction (withdrawal) the exchange claims to have sent out in January. Writing to the exchange seems to do no good, they do not seem to read their tickets. I want to find out if ANYONE has ANY record of the transaction they claim they sent, as it does not seem to be on the blockchain at all.

QBT start trading only 14 July 2016 on Cryptopia and do not have any big trades. May be you buy Qubit and send it to Cubits - it is different coins.

[markm]

No I have avoided buying QBT because of this split. It is AXIOM that I did not discover a problem until I did the withdraw.

Back then there was nothing on their thread now I see they have realised they have problems.

[mogrith]

Cryptopia has has suspended trading due to split.

[markm]

Well looks like my nodes have caught up, now at block 494253 does that seem right?
