Linux wallet and windows wallet blocks are not synchronized.....

I seem,the wallet is fork unresolved

As I said, the coin is still under testing. We have our stratum open for testing purposes only.
Since no announcement has been made that we're good to go, I imagine that those blocks will be deleted from the chain once those tests have finished.

I would like the administrators of all pools to come to irc #versioncoin on freenode.

[migello]

i think is screwd up, even solo mining is almost impossible,

waiting for news

Solo mining for what? Blocks found will not be calculated...

I've added Version to my blockchain charts website: http://cryptometer.org

First 96 hours after launch:
http://cryptometer.org/version_96_hour_charts.html

First 90 days after launch: (currently 19 days)
http://cryptometer.org/version_90_day_charts.html

I'm using the 0.8.7 client which new blocks seem to be appearing on.  

You can see the difficulty hack on Day 16 caused the block generation rate to hit 262% of the target rate.  Today, we're at 185% of target so far.  Is that just because difficulty started low or is the hack still occurring?

Also, interesting: the supply chart shows that stake generation has started and about 18000 V have been generated from stake so far.

I think we're at "Something is still busted" right now.

[tripppn]

are we back up or just testing more?

[xgc]

mine stopped at block 58211.. fresh install using the connect command in conf file.
still says out of date.

[zoata87]

so... will we be able to mine in a pool? maybe today... tomorrow... next week...?

A lot of progress has been made and we're very close to a solution. Please bare with the coin dev and the people who assist him. Please believe that most of us haven't slept for days now, working on this, trying to find a permanent solution instead of just "patching" things up.

[sebalino]

When will mining version pools start ?
Thanks

[sebalino]

I have one question.I buy version coins on NXT market .Then I send them to my wallet two days ago and they are not arrived .The same thing happen with transfer from pool.
Thanks

I'm in your same boat but I was transferring mining mining rewards.  Its kinda wait and see right now I think.

Keep up the great work guys.  I'd rather wait for stitches then live with a band-aid if it's stitches we need.

Is it the KGW flaw?  It seems that it would be quite easy to exploit on this coin with the super short block target times.

You are correct in that it is easy to exploit.  But, the PoS in the coin is also its own enemy.  One way to think about it is that the coin has been executing this exploit against itself.  We solved that part of the problem.

We are working though it.  The root cause of our issue is a problem with the way the KGW algorithm interacts with PoS blocks.  As we've been peeling back the layers of the onion and solving problems we are uncovering other potential issues and a situation where the formula won't produce the proper result.  We think we have a workaround for the latest formula issue we uncovered and need to implement and test.  It is a situation where the stops and restarts of the blockchain result in the exploit noted above taken to an extreme degree against itself (extended future time warp).

Trying to get the chain back up as soon as possible, but also want to make sure once its up - its up and we don't have anymore issues.  Need to make sure it is reliable.

On top of all that, what mindfox mentioned is true, I know I personally haven't really slept in the last 4 days and my body is probably going to give out on me shortly, and I got some bad news to deal with in my personal life earlier today which is the icing on the cake.  So, we are literally working tirelessly (or perhaps, tirefully ).  We will test the latest fix and depending on the outcome of that I am going to make a decision on whether to back out KGW for now or not so we can get back up and running.  At this point I gotta take a short break and catch some zzzz's or I'm going to give myself a stroke

I appreciate everyone's patience, I know Version picked up a fair amount of popularity and everyone is eager to get back to mining and trading, and I am very grateful for the interest.  We are going to make sure it is solid and then get back in business.  Just a little more patience and we should be in good shape.

if you need some help, let us/me know

[sebalino]

When will start pool mining ?
