NobleCoin[NOBL] - 8% PoS | 1Yr+ | MARKETPLACE | PAY | GIFT | CHARITIES/MERCHANTS

[eagleflies]

I got this:

Code:

"errors" : "WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers."

Did we need new checkpoint?

This is common warning message for PoS coins during blockchain download. I presume you started downloading the data after longer time when wallet was switched off?

In the Changing of the FEE News @ Poloniex Exchange
Starts March 20th, 2016
https://poloniex.com/fees/

[..]

I am not a big enthusiast of taker-maker fee structures but let's be reasonable here:
- Poloniex has long history (for virtual currencies world) of reliable exchange
- Their business is growing really fast right now since Cryptsy shut down
- They provide forward notice about the change, while Cryptsy first amended the fees and introduced penalty for withdrawal of funds(!)
- Many stock exchanges have such fees since it usually brings them more commision
- Such fees are great for all kinds of electronic trading e.g. bots
- Personally I like Poloniex. Do not remember having single issue with them.The only exception is I preferred the previous, much lighter, web version. But nobody's perfect

Would sure be great to see this fixed, if anything to keep angry users who think the reason why they can't stake is due to something more serious (which isn't entirely their fault since the error message is erroneous) and flame the board a la Pringles. Can't be that hard to do - just take the reward down to zero after n confirmations . . .

Actually this is not that easy change to do at all and may also bring security issues:
- while theoretically this change sounds easy I'm quite sure it needs *hard fork* to be introduced
- this raises question if the fix is important enough to make such a move?
- obviously such bigger change will need lots of testing
- also not sure if transactions with 0 rewards would be accepted by the protocol. probably not and if this is the case then we will need to decide how big the reward should be.
- apart from that letting "old" wallet to stake after long time of inactivity can potentially introduce new attack vectors since POS II is programmed to prevent/make unlikely single wallet from staking number of packets in a row. and there are known attack approaches in which such "old" wallets can be used.

No, that node is on my vps, online 24/7

Let me understand this:
1. Your node has been working fine for a while
2. One day you noticed this message in logs? And the node was not restarted or it's job was not interrupted in any way?

Do you still have the log file? If you happen to have it please PM me.

Thanks!

1. Yes
2. Yes, I execute getinfo and got that warning.

Unfortunately my debug.log is empty,
Now blockchain explorer also displaying same warning:

Odds are you just need to update the checkpoints here  src/checkpoints.cpp
and then compile a new client .   

Code:

  // ppcoin: should not enter safe mode for longer invalid chain
    // ppcoin: if sync-checkpoint is too old do not enter safe mode
    if (Checkpoints::IsSyncCheckpointTooOld(60 * 60 * 24 * 365) && !fTestNet && !IsInitialBlockDownload())
    {
        nPriority = 100;
        strStatusBar = "WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers.";
    }

Hello,

I'm trying to sync my NobleCoin wallet but without any success..
I have my backup file and an old version of NobleCoin wallet (v1.0.0.0).

My steps:
Replaced wallet.dat with my backup_wallet.dat into my apps/roaming/noblecoin directory.

------

The last time I was active with NobleCoin was in January 2014,
since then nothing, just cold storage:)

Can someone please help me?

Thank you, I'll try the process.

Where can I download the NobleCoin POS wallet?
The link http://noble.ilikebtc.com/noblecoin-latest.zip is broken.

rewards is capped at 1 after age xy
weight is capped at abc ( a value that will give a chance to stake within 1-2 days but low enough to not instant stake with turn on old wallet) after age xy

u are a coder
what u able to imagine u can code

Here is a copy of a post in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0 ,

A lot of people ask about what altcoins would individuals recommend,
A few of the Noble regulars might want to visit that forum every now and again and post about the incredible work Rofo is doing.

 

Noblecoin

Very talented dev, but he went into hiding a few months ago and the price is near zero right now. (before anyone says it, yes, that probably makes it a good(ish) buy, but a very risky buy)

Rofo is not in hiding ,
he turned over the coin tech to Eagleflies, while he concentrates all his focus on an android app & other services that only he is uniquely qualified to setup. 

Rofo is taking it to the next level and Noble will be included in his new ventures.

Eagle is working on fixing the checkpoint. Run the wallet this has no effect on it.

I have let my wallet open and no stake in a week... so i'm dissapointed from this perspective.
