[ANN][SBC] From Death Comes Life – The Rebirth of StableCoin - URGENT UPDATE

[cobrabyte]

I've have to wonder if we've reached the point where there *needs* to be more than one developer on this project.

@artos, it's obvious you still have shit going on in your life that keeps you from addressing issues with this coin. We're now into the third day of a situation where the difficulty is pegged... and will only rise. Your response: it's being monitored. There is nothing to monitor. We need a fix. It's a simple fix. It's a fix that's been posted here. It's a fix that's been committed via GitHub... it's a matter of merging code. It simply couldn't be any easier.

There are a lot of us that have a great deal of money invested in SBC and we're left thinking 'am I an idiot for thinking this guy will stick with the project... after having abandoned it already?'

Dude, what the hell can we do to help? This thing is dying here and YOU are responsible.

Couldn't have said this better.

For the time being, I am moving my mining resources to another currency (DGC).  I am not certain I feel comfortable with Stablecoin until I begin to see some real responsiveness from artos.

Not certain at this time that eagle eye wasn't closer to the truth than not.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=349198.msg4051283#msg4051283

I made this comment before and it still holds true.

Those of us who have been mining SBC have not been doing so out of the goodness of our hearts, we are doing so in the hopes that we are mining a coin that has a bright future and that will ultimately reward those who have expended their mining capacity on SBC's rather than another coin.

The key to success in any venture is open, frequent and informative updates.  We are all making a bet that our efforts will be rewarded and we're comfortable with that decision, as long as we feel that things are moving in the correct direction.  When communication lags, then investors (and miners--especially newbie miners) begin to get nervous . . . especially when you see the coin value and market cap in a slow, steady decline.

Gamblers and investors are a skittish lot and they require some degree of reassurance that they are not 1. Fools betting on a horse that can't cross the finish line, or 2. Gullible fools who are being played by those more experienced and knowledgeable than they.

Patience is needed on both sides, the miners and gamblers need to allow artos the time necessary to get whatever maintenance and corrective measures accomplished.  On the other hand, artos, hazard and others need to understand what the rest are going through and provide a little more thorough communications and updates--maybe even a pep-talk or two. Grin

Artos, Hazard, I know you aren't baby-sitters, but in taking on the responsibility for creating and promoting the StableCoin, you also incurred some responsibility to the people you are asking to trust you.

Guys, is it just me or is the client intermittently trying to sync with the network (~4172 blocks remaining) but unable to update.

In the meantime, I have some coins trapped in limbo because the client isn't syncing.

Is this partly due to the hardfork??


Here is the appended error file. (part of it)

So who gets all the lost shares?

[artos]

I've have to wonder if we've reached the point where there *needs* to be more than one developer on this project.

@artos, it's obvious you still have shit going on in your life that keeps you from addressing issues with this coin. We're now into the third day of a situation where the difficulty is pegged... and will only rise. Your response: it's being monitored. There is nothing to monitor. We need a fix. It's a simple fix. It's a fix that's been posted here. It's a fix that's been committed via GitHub... it's a matter of merging code. It simply couldn't be any easier.

There are a lot of us that have a great deal of money invested in SBC and we're left thinking 'am I an idiot for thinking this guy will stick with the project... after having abandoned it already?'

Dude, what the hell can we do to help? This thing is dying here and YOU are responsible.

Had I merged your code, the blockchain would have been forked instantly, 1800 blocks in the past. Does that sound like an acceptable solution? The actual fix is an extremely simple one, and has been ready for days. I've been monitoring block generation trends so that I could set a reasonable point for the next fork to occur at. Hardforks are a delicate art, and screwing this part up would surely be the final nail in the coffin. Why are you all suggesting that we rush into it? Is 3 days of low mining rewards worth jeopardizing the coin over? I've gathered enough data, and the fork will occur at block 317,000.

[artos]

RELEASE - VERSION 1.5

This is a mandatory update before block 317000, approximately 5 days from now. The update consists of the following changes:

*Difficulty algorithm fixed. It now properly retargets every 10 blocks, with a maximum of 12% down, or 10% up.

PLEASE INFORM YOUR MINING POOLS, EXCHANGES, BLOCK EXPLORER, ETC ABOUT THIS UPDATE.

I will do my best to do this myself, but the more people spreading the word, the better. Last time, with 2 weeks noticed, we still had pools that failed to upgrade. Now, with only 5 days notice, it's imperative that everyone updates ASAP.

Chill, artos, it's not about you, it's about the coin.  Had you communicated this information, you would not have had the sort of reaction you see here.  You say the fix has been ready for days, but you didn't inform us.

We need timely information, especially when things aren't going as expected.  We all want this coin to succeed.  We all have a vested interest in it succeeding, but when we don't hear anything for a couple of days, it leads to folks asking serious questions.

AS I said before.  By choosing to create this coin and push it's development, you have taken on the additional burden of communicating with your base.  Perhaps cobrabyte is correct, and you need some assistance in running the coin (preferably someone with plenty of knowledge and expertise.  It appears there are some in this community with the knowledge to help.

Please give it some thought.

And thanks for the update.

[Nanolucas]

Long live Stablecoin!

[uh60james]

Thanks for the update Artos.

[colonelmustard]

Upgraded to version 1.5, coins still missing and not syncing properly with network....

Guys, is it just me or is the client intermittently trying to sync with the network (~4172 blocks remaining) but unable to update.

In the meantime, I have some coins trapped in limbo because the client isn't syncing.

Is this partly due to the hardfork??

[CrytoEnthusiast]

Crypty took down StableCoin, I assume this has to do with the newest update, right?

[Ch3rub]

I've passed the news to http://sbc.nordicminers.eu

The sad truth is there are still pools running on the wrong "prior to 1.4" chain out there with quite a few people mining completely worthless shares One I have in mind doesn't even have contact details for the pool owner.

Another fork now, while necessary and I understand that, will add to the overall confusion

Thanks for the update artos

[artos]

Made an announcement thread for this update. Try to keep it on page 1.

 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=386035.new#new

Chill, artos, it's not about you, it's about the coin.  Had you communicated this information, you would not have had the sort of reaction you see here.  You say the fix has been ready for days, but you didn't inform us.

We need timely information, especially when things aren't going as expected.  We all want this coin to succeed.  We all have a vested interest in it succeeding, but when we don't here anything for a couple of days, it leads to folks asking serious questions.

AS I said before.  By choosing to create this coin and push it's development, you have taken on the additional burden of communicating with you base.  Perhaps cobrabyte is correct, and you need some assistance in running the coin (preferably someone with plenty of knowledge and expertise.  It appears there are some in this community with the knowledge to help.

Please give it some thought.

And thanks for the update.

There's been a lot of unnecessary personal attacks, even though I am just as concerned with the success of this coin as any of you are. This thread feels like a witch hunt in recent days. I've posted both in this thread and on the official forums that a fix was forthcoming.

For the curious, the issue was related to integer rounding. Shifting around the parenthesis is all that needs to be done.

nActualTimespanMax = nTargetTimespan * (112/100) <- This rounds to 1
nActualTimespanMin = nTargetTimespan * (100/111) <- This rounds to 0

Fixed:

nActualTimespanMax = (nTargetTimespan * 112) / 100
nActualTimespanMin = (nTargetTimespan * 100) / 111

https://www.miningpool.co has been updated to version 1.5 

[Catswold]

New thread commented on to keep it on top.

[Cryddit]

Cryptsy has been scrod a couple times by client updates causing forks; they apparently prefer now to stop trading in a coin before a client upgrade  happens, then reconnect afterward. 

[CaptainAK]

http://sbc.pnwminer.com updated to v1.5

[Thrillho]

https://www.miningpool.co has been updated to version 1.5 

Thanks for being on top of this! Left my PC mining on the right pool

[zavtra]

Cryptsy has been scrod a couple times by client updates causing forks; they apparently prefer now to stop trading in a coin before a client upgrade  happens, then reconnect afterward.  

I lost a lot of coins to Cryptsy, hopefully I get it back.  

Also, has anyone compiled the mac client for v1.5 like they did for v1.4?

We also need to make sure this update is reported to all exchanges ASAP.

[cobrabyte]

Had I merged your code, the blockchain would have been forked instantly, 1800 blocks in the past. Does that sound like an acceptable solution? The actual fix is an extremely simple one, and has been ready for days. I've been monitoring block generation trends so that I could set a reasonable point for the next fork to occur at. Hardforks are a delicate art, and screwing this part up would surely be the final nail in the coffin. Why are you all suggesting that we rush into it? Is 3 days of low mining rewards worth jeopardizing the coin over? I've gathered enough data, and the fork will occur at block 317,000.

The code wasn't meant to be insta-merged without intervention on your part. I wouldn't presume to setup an arbitrary checkpoint in a project that's not mine. That's your job.

I guess the real question is: do you even want people submitting pull requests? I see mine was the first and, judging by your response, perhaps the last. Just trying to save myself and others from wasting their time in the future.
