[ANN] TeslaX3 <> 5th generation Crypto-Currency <> LIVE EXCHANGE~ TESLA MAKES AC

Sold all my TX3, it's doing nothing lol

I was gonna sell some too, that's when I noticed the reason nobody's mining is because the chain is stuck. I'll see what I can do on a fix, possibly needs a checkpoint added, and I think there's a bug, but I'll have to dig.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's possible that our stuck chain has something to do with the bit of code meant to mitigate 51% attacks and go back 14 days worth of blocks. I know that most of the pools are gone and I'm pretty sure that mine was handling most of the network load when everything stopped. I'm still learning C, mostly by tinkering, so there's still quite a bit in there that I don't understand, but I'm able to mostly follow what the code is doing. In main.cpp I'm suspecting there's a problem in the stuff from line 902 to 1024 somewhere, particularly the following:

  // TeslaX3: This fixes an issue where a 51% attack can change difficulty at will.
    // Go back the full period unless it's the first retarget after genesis. Code courtesy of Art Forz
    blockstogoback = retargetInterval-1;
    if ((pindexLast->nHeight+1) != retargetInterval) blockstogoback = retargetInterval;
   
    // Go back by what we want to be 14 days worth of blocks
    const CBlockIndex* pindexFirst = pindexLast;
    for (int i = 0; pindexFirst && i < blockstogoback; i++)
        pindexFirst = pindexFirst->pprev;
    assert(pindexFirst);

    // Limit adjustment step
    int64 nActualTimespan = pindexLast->GetBlockTime() - pindexFirst->GetBlockTime();
    printf(" nActualTimespan = %"PRI64d" before bounds\n", nActualTimespan);

Anyone who knows more is welcome to have a look and see if my hypothesis is correct, or if I'm just an idiot

I've been in touch with Comkort about the situation, so if we come up with a fix they'll get it implemented so trading can resume. I don't want this coin to die like this, Nikola Tesla is one of my personal heroes. Long live Tesla!

dont waste time, this coin is dead from beginning.
another shitcoin i must say, no dev responses, nothing

[Oldminer]

The dev last logged in here 2 weeks ago & the chain is stalled.

Coin is dead

[edric]

Looks like the chain is working again. Not sure what happened. Pool is open still. http://tesla.fedaykin.us

[Oldminer]

Dudcoin. Dud dev's lol

this coin so dead

dev's suck

dev's suck

Maybe true, but the coin isn't dead, yet. Plenty of buy orders, while it may not be the optimal price, they're buying, and net hashrate is going up. I've been solomining my pool for a couple of days and steadily getting coins but today net hashrate has gone up, diff is up slightly, so now my solo block time is 40 minutes instead of 3 lol

[edric]

Maybe I spoke too soon. It's showing symptoms of being stuck again. Net hashrate is sitting at 2.41MH and isn't fluctuating, just like last time, and the network should be eating a block every 3 minutes or so. Sucks, I was enjoying selling a few. I'll keep an eye on it.

[Nthused]

Pretty sure both Teslax3 & EdisonX3 are Dead, only small Buys on Comkort from the Site owners pretty much...

Might as well Buy some COMM or even better Multipool mine for Payout in COMM  

COMM the COMMunity Coin !

Worst supported coin launch eva

Definitely a candidate for "Hapless altcoin dev of the Year":

https://github.com/TeslaX3/TeslaX3/blob/master/src/net.h#L107

Code:

/** Thread types */
enum threadId

    THREAD_SOCKETHANDLER,
    THREAD_OPENCONNECTIONS,
    THREAD_MESSAGEHANDLER,
    THREAD_MINER,
    THREAD_RPCLISTENER,
    THREAD_UPNP,
    THREAD_DNSSEED,
    THREAD_ADDTESLAONNECTIONS,
    THREAD_DUMPADDRESS,
    THREAD_RPCHANDLER,

    THREAD_MAX
};

Such a delicate touch with regex: "s/EDC/TESLA/", sigh.

Does that break anything? I've noticed problems with the wallets just getting stuck from time to time..

Otherwise it's still chugging along but buy orders at 1 satoshi, ugh. Not mining much these days, I'll hit a few blocks a day just for fun and to keep the chain alive, though.

No, it does't actually break anything in this instance because all the other references to THREAD_ADDEDCONNECTIONS have been similarly mangled into THREAD_ADDTESLAONNECTIONS. It's an error in terms of it being an unintended change but it's not actually damaging.

Not mining much these days, I'll hit a few blocks a day just for fun and to keep the chain alive, though.

I'm helping to care for a couple of orphaned coins, too. But that's because I'm an empiricist, what's your motivation? (If you'll forgive me for being nosy.)

I don't really like to abandon stuff I've been supporting for a while, until officially DEAD.. like dead dead, lol..
You never know.. I jumped off the PND train for octocoin, had a good pool going on and everything, but shut it all down to get my servers setup for octo.. Mistake.

I'm supporting Birdcoin, which was dead as hell for the longest and is making a strong comeback.. Someone should pick this project up and breathe some more life into it.. I'll be behind it 100%

Mistake? Nah, you're being too hard on yourself. The amount of space between the endpoints of the "quitter" vs "obsessed" scale depends on the framing of the question. How close was the call at the time? Hindsight's a wonderful thing, gets even more penetrating as one ages but it does become more lenient as the broader picture comes into play :-)

Thank you, I'm indebted to you for indulging my nosiness.
