Idena is the first Proof-of-Person Blockchain

[robelneo]

Now my wallet is syncing again I have updated the node to it's the latest version before the start of the recent validation, still wondering why it did not sync in time for the validation guess I need an activation code again, have requested it again to the first guy who gave me my first code, I would have to wait for 5 days more to get validate again.

[Xsinx]

Out of this project, for now, got 600 DNA waited for the validation of the whole week and have sync it daily so that when the times comes for validation I only have few blocks to sync, but today after upgrading my nodes not getting any peers, I missed the validation now and until now it's not syncing although I have a good connection, this is one issue that should be addressed if devs wants to see positive reviews and movement of adoption.

My first validation went smoothly and now i am validated and already start mining. Current peer count 37 - 42 peers at a time. I was able to update to the latest version few minutes before the validation starts and encounter no issues with syncing.

Anyone knows how the mining rewards are calculated? is it equally divided to all online peers at a time of block generation?

So far based on my calculation i am getting 2-3 idena per hour, is it the normal rewards? My current status now is newbie and i dont know if status plays a role in mining rewards.

In the IDENA FAQ guide there is an economic model for coin distribution, perhaps this will be the answer to your question

My last two weeks experienced is not good I have a lot of penalties, overall I have 60 DNA for penalties and that's almost two days of mining for me, and just when the time for validation occur my wallet cannot sync for some unknown reason, I have tried it again and now monitoring my active peers, so far I have 14 peers a big improvement from 1 peer when I am not yet upgrading to the node.
Got activated again and now waiting for the next validation I hope there will be no issue on the next validation.

There is people reporting random penalties.

It has happened a few times to my node and without warning. Node was never down but penalties somehow showed up and mining was off.

IDENA chain might be getting DoS attacks or any such.

I have from 10 to 20 peers after my upgrade I failed to validate the last time, like what I posted I have 60 worth of DNA penalties when I still have 1 peer, these penalties should not happen if we have a good number of peers, so let's see in the coming validation and after that if we are going to still have penalties, I am monitoring my peers connection but it's not disconnecting for the last two days, I hope it will keep up when I am mining again.

The difference is the story that I experienced, not on the slow network of 1 peers but precisely when I want to turn off my PC I forgot not to disable mining and it lasted up to seven hours resulting in a penalty of 62 idena. I regret that I did not read the faq provided, but now I understand and will not repeat it.

62 idena is worth 14-15 hours of mining. That is really a stiff fine.

3 more days till the next validation, Create your flips now so you don't need to rush during the validation day and prevent irrelevant flips being created during validation.

So far based on my calculation i am getting 2-3 idena per hour, is it the normal rewards? My current status now is newbie and i dont know if status plays a role in mining rewards.

51840 (daily distribution) * 50% (mining reward percentage) / 24h/ 187 (number of miners with online mining status) = 5,77 DNA/h

62 idena is worth 14-15 hours of mining. That is really a stiff fine.

Current mining penalty is equal to 45,188 DNA = 7,8h of mining.

And time to mine penalty is constant (~8h) because mining speed and mining penalty is based on the same variable which is number of online nodes. No matter how big the network will grow.

My node is having penalty issue too. I've revived 3 of them yesterday. Good thing is that penalties does not sum up. I still have 45 DNA do mine ... not ~90 (3x45 minus minted while node was running)

Still waiting for the validation and still checking my connections, so far 8 to 20 peers sometimes I'm hitting 35 peers, so far so good I never want to experience that penalty again I hope with a new node, peers will not go down to 1 peer again,
I have also wanted to suggest to replace our current logo, something that people can relate and remember easily like a letter on a logo and not a face, maybe we should run a bounty for this.

[solosequenosenada]

I had the same problems, a couple of penalties because the idena node was frozen, giving a message in a loop, don't remember what the message said.
I tried to open another port and specify it on the command line with --port --ipfsport and there is no difference in the amount of peers obtained.

However, for the last 48 hours the node has not frozen and is working fine.

v0.16.2
peers=64  online-nodes=189 network=238

That makes sense now, I thought at first the older the epoch age the higher the % in mining. So rewards are equally shared to all online miners at a time  of block creation.

Still waiting for the validation and still checking my connections, so far 8 to 20 peers sometimes I'm hitting 35 peers, so far so good I never want to experience that penalty again I hope with a new node, peers will not go down to 1 peer again,

Run your wallet everyday to make sure everything will be ok on the next validation and so you can spot any errors before the validation day. About the logo it looks ok to me.

It would be nice to see some campaign for Idena in bitcointalk forum.
Best thing would be signature campaign, and I am sure some people would gladly do that.

Remember that next validation is in less than 3 days.
Be ready.

I agree, it's more effective to use a bounty signature campaign than social media. But if so then limit the participation of the minimum rank member so that it does not become spam that can be abused by newbie accounts.

Probably true, in the mean time something more to the usual was announced on telegram:

Dear Idena community,
Idena would like to reward the community efforts in promoting the project in social media.
We announce a bounty campaign for strategic and unbiased mentioning of Idena in Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, Medium.
Rewards are paid according to the number of likes and shares received by a unique post.
Check the campaign rules and participate: https://bounty.idena.io

So that's a start, maybe something is cooking in the kitchen of idena right now, to make sig hunters happy?
Unfortunately bitcointalk gets secondary attention, without much indicators for it to change any time soon.
Guess we are on our own here

The node failed again tonight, another penalty. I hope this will be solved soon....

We could have a signature when we are out of the test net and IDENA is already in the market, right now it's still word of the mouth and promoting the announcement thread, but once hit the market, dev could go full blast marketing, I'm not dropping here in the announcement thread to look for a new project for over the year, because of the so many weak projects, I'm just lucky to have found this project.

This happens to me once 2 days ago and i thought it was just an isolated problem. Since it fixed by closing the Idena wallet (end task via task manager) then i wait for 5 mins and run the wallet again and it working normally once again.

It could be your internet connection fluctuated. Im trying to replicate the problem to see the real root of this.

Sig Campaign is a good idea, But it should be done as early as now and before exchange listing. this is to attract real supporters for the project and limit multiple account joiners.

[Anthrogic]

Pretty hyped about this project, looking forward to seeing where it goes

[slavo]

I can do escrow in OTC if anyone needs to. I have conducted several deals over here already. i take 2% fee. Just posting here to prove I'm slavo/thegreatsalvo on discord.
