[ANN] Orbitcoin v1.6.3.0 ~ NeoScrypt ~ Green Stake ~ 11 Years Old

[ghostlander]

A status update. I'm trying to add automatic reindexing to the client, so if a block index fails for some reason, the client rebuilds it automatically. No need to download the whole block chain again. Anyway, we are going to have a new release in about 2 weeks, so everyone can update in time before the block #2M.

ORB price explodes

POW Diff at 1.88

So you think the guy who bought 30 BTC worth of Orbit is regretting it? Why would you buy that much at the peak. Wish I had $15,000 US throw around like that.

How long does staking take ? I have been staking fpr almost 2 days and the coins haven't even matured ? Does it take a week or something ? I really wanna start generating coin over here.

How much do you have? To give you a very rough idea, I have about 350 ORB and have successfully staked 9 times (plus 1 orphan) in the past 30 days.

Remember that if you have relatively small amounts (like I do) staking will be erratic: you may find two blocks in a day, you may not find a block for a week...

Congrats! 3 years old!
How much will cost 1 ORB in next 3 weeks?
Predictions?

Since the halving is near by (2 weeks) should see a gradual increase.....

Block reward and optimal stake (excerpt): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=586674.msg7744291#msg7744291
In a nutshell:
- coins are staking after 5 days;
- minimum stake amount is 20 ORB;
- staking is a stochastic function (it depends on luck, among other factors like stake amount and coin age - i.e. the "weight").

This is an old guide. Coins are eligible for staking after 1 day now, but it doesn't make much difference. There is weight displayed in the Coin Control window. I see my inputs are staking successfully with their weight of 800 on average currently. An input of 20 ORB will not exceed the weight of 300 (20 coins * 15 days). Do your math.

Is there a way to see this information through RPC?

[JasonXG]

When do these coins stake ? The staking works differently Jere you dont have stake weight you have coin age . But when will the staking start ? Ive had my wallet on for days and days but nothing.

No, the Coin Control works only through the Qt GUI. There was no demand for any command line interface.

If a tribar in the lower right corner is yellow rather than gray, staking works. Mouse over to see the details.

I have committed the automatic reindexing to GitHub: Automatic Reindexing Implemented

Previously, if your block index got corrupted somehow due to a hardware error, OS crash or whatever, you could see a pop-up saying "Error loading block index, see debug.log for details". Not very informative and probably not helpful much. You were left with a broken block index and had either to resync from the genesis block (a matter of a day or two), download a bootstrap.dat and let it ride (a matter of half a day) or get a block chain snapshot somewhere. This trouble is no more. Now, the wallet detects a broken block index and starts reindexing automatically. It isn't a quick process as our block chain is almost 2 million blocks, but 20% faster than bootstrapping. You also waste no traffic as the wallet scans your existing block chain files to rebuild the block index together with the UTXO data base. You can force reindexing any time with the -reindex option.

If anyone can compile it yourself, try this option before it gets into a production release. It works well for me, but more testing is better.

Yes I know and it is yellow its just other coins tell you your weight and the weight on the network and the estimated wait till the next stake and this wallet doesn't do that it says I have over 700stake days on. So what does this mean what do I compared my stake age to so I can figure out how long I mist wait till I get a stake.

Could it be added to the 'listunspent' command? Looks like calculating the weight is fairly simple, if I understand the source correctly: (unspentvalue * nTimeWeight) / 24 hours    ?

700 coin days in a single input should stake soon. However if this weight is shared between many inputs, there is more to wait. As it has been mentioned before, staking is a stochastic process. In other words, it's a matter of luck and patience. I see a few "unlucky" inputs in my wallet which haven't staked since late May. Those "lucky" have staked 3 times in this time frame.
