[RE-ANN] Galaxycoin Revival! KGW, POS/POW hybrid [TRADING ON CRYPTSY]

[almightyruler]

I'm having a lot of problems with clients on the older fork. There seems to be a fundamental bug in *coin code (not just GLX) where if there is a fork the clients on the "old" chain will repeatedly sent getblocks requests, asking for the same set of blocks, in an endless loop. It never stops. This consumes CPU and (in my case, more significantly) bandwidth.

I've had to resort to firewalling peers showing a height of 250k.

Yup something we've experienced before mate and see it happen over and over again , also suggested increasing the number of nodes with new wallets so the the new chain will take over. 51% attack literally.

Galaxy was good to me , if you fixed the funky diff jumping I'm not playing.  : |

that was both funny and fun.

Why would you want the DIFF to jump from 0.5 to 20 like it used to?

Other than to screw over the solo and pool miners?

[obelisk910]

Anyone hear back from Cryptsy yet about progress on updating? I know it's not something they're very good about.

I see the network starting to lose some steam, hopefully we can get this trading soon

My ticket hasn't updated yet but you never know. Go ahead a try a small test transaction.

Hi there, am having a go at soloing GLX while the diff is low. However my QT client is acting somewhat strangely. It has recorded three transactions and yet has a balance of zero with no unconfirmed coins to be seen. I know I have processed blocks as I have three of these events in my logs:

[18:49:58] New block detected on network
[18:50:27] Accepted 052ba604 Diff 12.7K/2183 GPU 0

These blocks may have been orphaned but my transaction log is empty. Does anyone know what might be up?
I am using Galaxycoin version 2.0.0.0 with SGminer 4.1.0 in a Win7 64bit environment.

EDIT
OK, weird. I just saw a new block get accepted and received the notification that I had received 64 GLX. This updated the 'Unconfirmed' entry in my wallet with the 64 GLX, but then this went back to zero in 2 secs. Balance not updated.

That sounds like an orphan, where someone else has found a block at almost exactly the same time as you did. Only one miner can win.

If you do 'listtransactions' in the debug console you should be able to see the orphaned blocks.

Yep, spot on. Thanks for giving the command, am seeing an 80% orphan rate.

Am not used to seeing the rate of orphans this high, it's usually the other way around. Suspect it may be down to general network latency combined with my low hashrate.

EDIT: I am based in Australia so this is no surprise TBH

[kp3254]

Is there any exchange on the new fork?

unfortunately not... and cryptsy isn't responding

[obelisk910]

Test transaction of 5 GLX successfully deposited on Cryptsy!

Not sure what the status is on block explorer, but TxID is 3ef43168f73619cab35b6917160fb86f3a86a470969d54a2f9a84a38d79fc6ea

Looks like trading could be back up?

EDIT: (That is what that means, right?)

[Glizlack]

I don't understand 1 thing. With the galaxy.conf file when it says add my username and password I am not solo mining I use a pool. So what do i need to fill in there.

It seems if i fix that it will fix the updating issue i am having

Thanks
Steve

[obelisk910]

Steve,

For making transactions in and out of your wallet, all you need is addnode/connects. (Generally it's best to start with this until your blockchain is up to date). For example, my galaxycoin.conf isn't currently configured for solo mining, it is simply:

Code:

connect=71.4.209.204
connect=87.209.206.80

If you want to set it up for solo mining later, you'll need to add user/pass, IP and port, etc. For pool mining all you need to do is be able to make transactions, which just requires IPs to connect to. If you need more help there is a video tutorial on the first post of this thread for Win 7/8. Make sure you're doing this from the updated client though
