I did not restart my BEL wallet after my last reboot. I'll start it up again.

45.50.28.121 still

I connected to 203.20.114.252 yea! we might just be live again

I've synced to you (height 370974) but the last block was minted nearly a year ago. How long has your wallet been off? If you dropped out but others kept mining past that point, neither of us will have the full chain, and any mining by either of us will create a fork.

Hey everyone, fire up your old wallets so we can properly agree on the correct blockchain.

Byron must have a full database. But I think he's lost it.

Eh? Well I have something called bellsd running on that IP, news to me!

Code:

coins    bellsd     18679 6  tcp4   203.20.114.252:19919  *:*
coins    bellsd     18679 14 tcp4   203.20.114.252:19919  45.50.28.121:57163

edit: the bellsd source I have has a genesis block hash of 0xe5be24df57c43a82d15c2f06bda961296948f8f8eb48501bed1efb929afe0698 which matches main.cpp on your github clone. Have we gone off on two different blockchain forks, perhaps?

Yeah, so what makes you think that 203.20.114.252 is not running a valid client? Check the block hashes above in your wallet's RPC console, see if they match...

Right, so now we've established that my database is identical to yours, up to the height I was synced at (373223). And it looks like you've connected to me, I'm now at height 410490, but you dropped off before it fully synced. What happened?

203.20.114.252 is a dedicated 24/7/365 server with a static IP, so with such a tiny network (currently) it would make sense to get this node fully synced.

Any chance you have the blockchain still? Maybe put it onto the network, I've added the nodes.

I used to have a crapload, but now I'm sure my wallet is like 200k, anyways, could probably put half that into someone willing to revive this coin.

203.20.114.252 is up again, and I can see a new peer starting from height 0...

I'm up to 240,000+ blocks.

Did you ever get fully synced?

Did you ever get fully synced?

Not sure I needed to 'fully sync' - I first started with BEL in 2014 so it's more likely that the network was active, then everyone slowly dropped off, and I ended up being the last one running a client (at least, one with a global listening port).

The trouble with a fledgling or dying network is that it's easier to split, with two halves unaware of each other, each side extending their own fork of the original chain. I have no idea if someone else continued mining with another random peer at some point after I lost my last connection.

How about we kick start this? My mining system is ignoring the coin because the last block was too long ago, but a single block will get it noticed again.

Well it's moving again. Not sure who is mining, I tried today with my CPU but didn't get anything.

Yeah, that would be me. My low diff system ignores a coin with a stale blockchain, but will jump back in when it sees things moving again.

Each coin is allocated a modest 0.3MH/s but that's still enough to push the BEL difficulty up a fair bit from minimum, probably enough that CPU mining won't work.

Neat!

Ran a local richlist, I bet a lot of these addresses are completely lost:

Rich List

Interesting, I run my client as a server process so I don't see a GUI. Does the explorer show coin supply? Curious how much of that ~43 million BEL in your capture is part of the total supply.

43 million would take a loooong time to mine these days (if it were even possible)

For whatever reason it's only extending out to 1,000 addresses. that consists of 52,677,443.1306 total supply. I will figure this out for exact amount later.

Gotta hit the hay, but for now 52m coins is not so bad, of course like I said most coins are probably lost.

The subtle interesting part is getting to the 518400 block for which all coins mined will be worth just 2 BELL. The expectation was that we would get there probably this year or so with continuous mining, but without the mining effort we have not achieved it.

Could be a good revival coin, I will have my miner on it by tomorrow.

Nevermind on mining, I just can't. Why is there no GPU solo mining software anymore? I know asics took over.

Anyhow, whomever is mining, good luck to you.

If we can get a pool that'd be great.

[TOYJJWGS]

Fork itself is not much innovation, the feasibility of the project is already finished and can learn from, if the original product on the technical upgrade is also a good choice

If you look around you should be able to find a version of cgminer that supports GPUs. You will be expending a fair amount of power compared to an ASIC, but I'm sure you know that.

Can't help with the pool unfortunately, I run a pool (of sorts) but it's custom software written for internal use by a single entity, so it lacks essential features (such as accounts, tracking, payouts etc). I've never set up standard pool software.
