[ANN][GRA] Graincoin - New PoW/PoS coin | Fast, secure | Version 1.5 Released!

[Illusmare]

I just set up a pool the first 10 people to find a block earn 0% fee's for 3 months. Normal fee is 1% gra.livechains.net

This pool should be added to first post and altminers should perhaps be removed from there.

And good job on starting a pool. The more the merrier.

My 1e6 coin showed up on the updated blockchain.

Hurray!  Good job in making this a smooth fix devs!!!

[edit]

Before I celebrate too much, can someone verify that I have the correct chain?

15:32:56 <> getblockcount

15:32:56 <> 47115

Right now it is 47186

[dimmak]

In grain we trust.

One thing, has anyone else noticed that the debug.log file is growing very large?  As of this morning it was over 110MB so I stopped my wallet, renamed it to start a new one, and restarted my wallet.

What it is showing are lots of these.

etc, etc - it seems to be going through each peer and checking what block it is up to - and does this every time it receives a new block.  Currently it is 1MB and has been running only 40 minutes or so.

I think we started over from where the coin began generating only PoS blocks, so your tx probably was during this period and isn't counted, I think this may have been overlooked since most people aren't trading grain.

If the devs fork out transactions that were once legitimately on the blockchain, then most people will never trade grain.

This really wouldn't be acceptable.

tx42, a fork is done because the PoW is jammed. This is a typical process to fix the issue. Other coins did the same thing for fixing similar problems.

[bosian]

tried in solo, i still get rejected blocks

What is your current block number? We should be at block 47268 now.

Don't worry about debug.log, it's mostly useless. If it bothers you, you can stop qt-client, delete debug.log, and start qt-cleitn again. Everything will be fine.

bosian,

Hi - my concern is that this debug shows that the client maybe is causing a lot of network traffic, if it does this each time a new block is received.  My internet connection isn't great at best and lately with all my miners and my son's bitcoin miners - our internet is a bit slower than usual.  I will have a look and see what network traffic is being generated.

[JL0z]

bosian,

Hi.  I set my Wireshark to capture my network traffic for a period of 15 minutes.

74467 packets were captured and saved to a file size of 59,391KB.

When I filter these packets for those to/from tcp port 11054, I get 70342 packets and saved these to a file - size 58,659KB.  This is in .cap format so these are generally the raw capture data with just a small header.

Here in Australia, we are generally on metered internet connections, so running my Grain wallet for a day would use up possibly 5.6GB a day - and this is just having the wallet open on a computer.  I think this is something we need to look at, since this would use up 86% of my monthly allowance - that explains why things have been going so slowly in the past few days.

-John

[Edit] Just had a look at my firewall traffic graph - shows average outbound traffic of 56.5 KBps during the time everyone here was sleeping.  I took a snapshot but can't work out how to insert the jpg.

[Edit2] I closed my wallet, then waited for the firewall to refresh its traffic graphs.  Outbound traffic on my internet connection dropped from 64.397KBps to 2.960KBps.

I confirm this with my wallet aswell, much activity on internet and I/O Read & Write bytes.

after I close and reopen wallet there is less total activity and server mode seems to increase it a bit. so for now closing the wallet and reopen it seems to reduce it, for how long I don't know.

I have plenty of internet so its ok, but I think JL0z is right, its using too many internets for some people.

I wonder what it is doing that it needs to talk so much?

[esteeming]

bosian, I am pool mining with forkpool.com and I did not have any problem before when receiving coins from this pool.

However, I find 3 of transactions from forkpool today are still NOT be confirmed after received more than 8 hours, can you please how to deal with these transactions?

Cheers, Esteeming.

PS. There is no sync issue of my wallet found so far - I had already tried to close the wallet and restart it, but above mention transaction problem still exist.

I wonder why?

seems to be the only one, its around 9-9:30 pm pacific time dec 26th, 5-5:30am UTC/GMT dec 27th.

@esteeming, can you confirm the timezone you are in, or the GMT/UTC time/date of the transactions? im jw if they are at the same time, it may help identify the problem.

Seems I also have 2 unconfirmed transactions from today. Both from solo mining.
This it what it shows in transaction details:

Edit: GMT/UTC +2 here. So about same time as Jollyburner

[Jollyburner]

we need to figure out if we got them at the same time, see my post.

im not sure what could cause this, if they aren't part of the blockchain they should just disappear I think...

anyways, if anyone else has some unconfirmed tx, plz post the local timezone you are in, or convert to UTC

http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ - time converter super easy to use, pick the mini calendar if you need to change to yesterday.

thanks

*edit* ty Illus, i think we can expect then that all this problems occurred around the same time, approximately 10 hours ago. this may help bosian figure it out.

it appears that everything is still working ok, so just keep mining and if anymore tx get stuck like this plz update the thread immediately so devs know its a recurring problem.

[esteeming]

My time zone is GMT+8
