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

How would you use this to break down say a 10k ORB block in a single go? Could it just be address:50 copy and pasted like 200 times?

I guess so. Try with a few entries and a smaller amount first to check. You may run into commandline size limits (eg the command length is too long) with 200 entries though.

I did notice that using sendmany will result in a lower net fee; presumably it's more efficient than sending individual transactions and is rewarded appropriately.

Dumb question. Is it possible to split a block into like x number of 50 coin blocks in one transaction? Or will I have to do it like 200 times by hand on a 10k coin block?

You can use the 'sendmany' RPC command. This is how I do it from the commandline:

orbitcoind sendmany "" '{"addr1":amount1,"addr2":amount2}'

Note: I think if you do this within the debug console of the QT client you omit the single quotes. Not 100% sure.

I've shown two addresses in this example, so just add more in the same format. I presume you can also send to the same address (do a small test first) but if you're wanting to split for staking purposes you probably want to send to separate addresses anyway.

All output addresses must be different for a single transaction. You can also do that in the Qt client. Split 10K ORB into 10x 1K ORB first, then each one into 10x 100 ORB using the same addresses and leave them staking.

P.S.
Also seems new wallet modify database in way making it incompatible with previous ver. Uprage form 1.4.2 to 1.4.2.2 went OK, but after roll back to 1.4.2 (only replace executables) wallet not working (report some king of database error) and i restore whole database from backup too.
It is expected behavior?

BerkeleyDB upgraded from v4.8 to v5.3. It is used for wallet.dat. There is no downgrade.

[almightyruler]

$ ./orbitcoind -datadir=. repairwallet
{
    "mismatched spent coins" : 18,
    "amount affected by repair" : 302.01000000
}


... but the balance hasn't changed. Subsequent checkwallet passes.

I haven't done any transactions (no sends, receives, stakes, or PoW mining) for around a month. 43000+ confirms for most recent addition to transaction list.

v1.4.2.0-orb, *nix daemon

Any ideas?

[ChekaZ]

Ive got a problem with the new wallet.

I have a few thousand Inputs and had to redownload the blockchain. But at some point (10 weeks ago) it just crashes.

Sovled: Seems like my mining-rig doesnt have enough "power" so it crashes :b - went well on my Gaming PC.

Can you have a step-by-step guide to how to do this for the dummies like myself? I'd be interested in fooling with ORB if this is like a one click thing, but the blocks need to be too small and the value is too low atm to do this versus investing in another high PoS coin. That and I'm lazy

Could someone please explain to me how to use coin control?

[CrazyLoaf]

Thanks. I've used coin control before, but every time I've done it, I've had to break the coins up manually in multiple transactions. I think the issue with ORB vs say TEK (well, aside from TEK not staking atm ) is that it seems like you have to watch the ORB to get it to stake right, and keep breaking them down. I think it'd help adoptions, at least from high PoS investors, if it was a "set and forget" sort of thing.

You may forget once set. All inputs end up 25 to 50 ORB in size while staking. Smaller inputs get combined and larger inputs get split in the process.

Really? Now THAT'S cool! So you break all coins into 50 ORB blocks once and then you're good to go? Then it's a bubbling sea of PoS that you don't have to tend to? My thinking was you'd have to reform the blocks since PoS usually works by having the coins over and over until you start getting dust.

No. And this was already answered:

ORB wallet not split blocks if them already < 50 coins. Only bigger blocks split.

So you need do manual splitting to small chunks only once - at beginning of staking. After it wallet handle all staking auto.
Another manual manipulations needed only of you decide add additional coins to already staking wallet (for example buy additional coins at exchange and put it to staking too).

[almightyruler]

My wallet has not staked for over a month. The daemon runs 24/7/365. I'm starting to wonder, especially considering that repairing the wallet apparently found 302 ORB, which did not get added to my balance.

    "stakeweight" : 1487,
    "minweightinputs" : 0,
    "avgweightinputs" : 0,
    "maxweightinputs" : 72,


Is that a half decent weight? My displayed balance (see above about repair) is only about 100 ORB so I guess I'm being usurped by people with much higher balances.

[ghostlander]

1487 / 72 = 20 coin days per average input. All of them are max. weight. I suppose you have solo mined 72 blocks 1 ORB each and left them staking without merging. If so, they will never stake. Too small.

Seems sizes of inputs is too small:
1484 weight / 72 inputs = 20.65 coin-days per input
all at max weight (> 20 days old)
so 20.65 / (20-5) = 1.38 coins - average size of inputs
While minimum size to generate PoS block = 20 coins (wallet can auto combine small inputs but 10 inputs at once max).

Here stats from my primary ORB with really decent weight  
"stakeweight" : 120727,
"minweightinputs" : 496,
"avgweightinputs" : 164,
"maxweightinputs" : 25,

With such parameters wallet now generate ~ 100 PoS blocks each day if staking 24/7

[almightyruler]

It's late and I'm tired so perhaps I'm misunderstanding: if I mine PoW and never do anything else (sending 20+ ORB back to myself etc), my wallet will never stake?

Up to 10 inputs can be combined for staking. 10 inputs * 1 ORB < 20 ORB minimum.

[almightyruler]

So in the scenario I described, with each PoW being 1 ORB, the wallet will never stake. Why isn't the limit set at 20 (or higher) so that virgin PoW inputs can be properly combined to stake? Surely there must be people who simply mine and hold - their wallets will never generate PoS...

Even if it was set higher, 1 ORB input had very little chance of generating stake kernel due to low weight (20 maximum). Right now, I see inputs in my wallet staking with weights 250 to 400. Each.

[mill0601]

Could you explain in detail how to set up staking? I feel I have missed out on a ton of orb due to the lack of information.

Yes, but if someone mines 5000 PoW blocks... they will still never stake?
