1 minute is reasonable

dev says now - less time drift means more orphans

as to drift attack - it looks as something different here : now no block creation for 34 minutes

edit : 14:55 UTC: limiting time drift would mean : hard fork again?
do we want another hard fork?
for this moments hard fork seems unavoidable if want to decrease time drift


edit:14:59 UTC - now blockchain stopped for 47 minutes already. becoming scary.

edit: 15:01: UTC - which block to use for hard fork ?

edit 15:11 UTC blockchain moves again, no signs of this attack : "just now" and difficulty goes up to 2.03 and going higher.
maybe Kiklo was right about nature of attack

really should be getting more opinions : do we need this one hard fork - with limiting time drift?

please to submit feedback

Hardfork with a new time drift is the only way to stop timewarp from happening again.
It will stop for a little while when the guy doing it runs out of stakeable coins , and has to wait for them to be ready to stake again.
We fixed this at ZEIT a while ago, and our block time is 30 seconds and we used a 1 minute time drift, since your block time is 1 minute , you could probably go a little higher to 1½ or even 2 minutes , but you want to test to confirm.
Your Block explorer looks normal now, so the attack should be over until the culprit has more coins ready to stake.
Have your Dev or someone with alot of coins ready to stake change their time ahead 1 or 2 minutes , if it does not drop the difficulty in half, then that amount of time is safe to use for a permanent timedrift . IMO, I would test 2minutes first, because you do want the highest drift possible to avoid Orphan Storms.

is anybody staking success last days? I had no any staked coins since 08 January, even if I leave open client by 24h. Got v. 2.2.1.0 of client, over twenty connections, right no. block same as explorer...etc. It was staking before, up to my last staked coins on beginning of this year. Had no problems before, I changed nothing but looks like staking stop for me. Anyone got similar symptoms? Or there is some solution to fix that?

look at network past difficulty at https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ac/#!overview

your day Jan, 08 : network diff  1,43 and keeps rising afterwards

since Jan 27, 2016 : climbs to 2.0 and stays in this area and above most of days up to
difficulty 2.58 on Feb 08, 2015

look previous difficulty readings:

Dec 01, 2015 : difficulty 0.9095

Nov 01, 2015 : difficulty 0.4209

Oct 15, 2015 : difficulty 0.0003

it has been dramatic increase in difficulty since October

I just got around to resyncing my wallet from scratch a day or so ago, it hadn't been synced since my last staking which was 9/22/2015.

it synced up fine but has been sitting waiting to stake for over a day, I figure since it has been so long that it's weight should be high and should've found a block pretty quick? am I wrong? or is something funky going on?

I read some of the last page here, has the funkyness been figured out?

there are some reasons for another Asiacoin hard fork with following minor improvements:
1.increasing priority of older UTXO so it will be easier to stake older UTXO
2.limiting timedrift to much smaller value from present 120 minutes ( copied from PPC )

testing of this single line of code making preference for older UTXO was quite successful on present Asiacoin network, all stakes received were old.
But all this test staking went to a 100% fork, none was confirmed and wallet had to be resynced.
It is expected when all wallets including explorer wallet will use this one line of code changed, forking would not happen.

there is no clear idea how to fix major Asiacoin problems
-Asiacoin code is outdated, based on Bitcoin version 0.6.3, and several improvements found later in BTC and PPC are not present here
-elimination of 3.2 billion wallet from Asiacoin blockchain - only feasible way seem to be exchange Asiacoin to Asiacoin 2.0 with different blockchain

there is no idea how to increase Asiacoin exchanges count, no exchange believes now that Asiacoin could do decent volume, after 20 months of low volumes.

there is no idea how to do promotion work for Asiacoin

actually have no time to follow other coins

does anyone know why coins like FCT TIPS NEM EMC AMP EAC XVG XSI and so on have made marketcap increases from 500% to 10.000% ?

information, knowledge and ideas welcome here or on PM

deos anyone know why coins like FCT TIPS NEM EMC AMP EAC XVG XSI and so on have made marketcap increases from 500% to 10.000% ?

information, knowledge and ideas welcome here or on PM

Can't speak for the others, but XSI is a Pump Scam by some Chinese Miners, as it had nothing happening and the price spiked and now the Volume is $ 18,482   on 1 Exchange.
PURE SCAM !!!

lol I've been lucky a couple times with new coins, but mostly try to stay away from them now... too darn stressful. most turnout out to be pump attempts. I stayed away from ETH too long and missed the boat lol thats for sure

I've pretty much given up on AC but would like to stake just in case someone decides to do something with it, I'm still staking and trading MINT cause there is still people trying, heck I even still stake and trade POT

missed ETH badly, too.
for being obviously a pumped vaporware with not much intrinsic value at least for now.
only when ETH was already close to 5 USD noticed on forum someone said that Goldman Sachs people are involved in ETH ( was it a secret or it was always known? )
GS speculators have so much more deep pockets and deep knowledge than unknown chinese pushers or even BigVern
as additional profit for pumping this vaporware GS people will undercut Bitcoin
with GoldmanSachs link accepted as true, ETH can easily go to 50 USD and then with GS style price will be kept longer time high ( not BigVern style : rapid dump to zero )
actually, it seems ETH could be a multi-layered pump : first, a typical altcoin pump well organised
then, at some point overtaken by GoldmanSachs guys ( or ladies for that matter : remember as Bloomberg says : One of the destroyers of the world http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-09-12/blythe-masters-jpmorgans-credit-derivatives-guru-is-not-sorry - Blythe now left killing oil and gold world markets and is running some murky BTC operations )

since you seem to care of Asiacoin
could you post here or on PM best ideas for survival?

you seem to have good experience of publishing on dying coins

No activity whatsoever from the community or devs.
It is safe to assume it as dead and get out of it before it vanishes from all the exchanges.

I am not an optimist like you.
So you wanna say, the development of Asiacoin is happening at full steam in the background.?
Please enlighten me as I still have some coins stuck at cryptsy.

thanks for info

BTW what happening at Cryptsy?
stopped following this after 350 pages
any chances to recover BTC?

as to Asiacoin: obviously trying, unfortunately no success

worst headache is exchanges: got straight answer from some exchanges that AC volume
is too low, and silence from other exchanges

would be very obliged for any leads how to reach exchanges

recent 12 months seen some smaller coins reached some bigger exchanges for unknown reason

is this because of private contacts or there is some intermediary who arranges listing
for a fee? please PM if known

Survival Tips

option A - BTER handles swap (bad)
option B - cryptopia handles swap (better)
option C - both (best) but how to manage coins?  who getting how many?

1. generate a whole new 'update' chain/algo/wallet  (run it in beta)
2. reduce coin count divide by 100 OR increase x10
3. announce swap date 6 weeks before it happens ... keep it open for 4 weeks
4. burn the left overs (that means Cryptsy coins get deleted .. elsewise you'll likely end up buying them from the Thief)
5. look at proof of line and flat (or max) reward per block for the new algo

There's really nothing that can be done about that unless Cryptsy chooses to do so. They are holding peoples coins, not AsiaCoin as as you have discovered already, no amount of pleading, begging or threatening is going to change that. If you do a swap, keep the option open for those with coins on Cryptsy just to be fair, offer the swap later if Cryptsy ever frees up the coins.

If we are making a new chain,
Cryptsy is still up and log in works. Can we make printscreens of your balance and use it as a proof for new swap?

[bittcoinn]

short description of Cryptsy stories 350+ pages. it seems nobody here followed these pages

1.BigVern divorce case (documented there with all details, motions, hearings and so on)
  from what we understand should include Project Investors and Cryptsy itself

  Cryptsy should be sold and wife and lawyers paid.

  Most likely Cryptsy would not be able to separate own coins and deposited coins, all should be sold.

  this divorce case might be phony but obviously nobody can prove it, actually this divorce case most likely is real, ugly and tough, as BigVern is linked to younger lady, which is speculatively  linked to escaping from FalunGong quagmire in 2008 and who is speculatively suspected to be a very bright programmer. And BigVern
wife comes from a tough high-ranked military family.

2.some guys started class action, with expensive lawyers. Obviously their claims
  are much higher than their real loss.

3.Cryptsy workers began to flee hard since November.
  Most visible defector was wallet man Mullick (and suddenly most of wallets went  maintenance)

  After Mullick was gone remaining Cryptsy guys had problems to find links to wallets (Horus asked  in this  thread where is link to wallet)

 in Cryptsy thread some guys speculated that Mullick has taken some coins with him.

4.actually last active months December and January Cryptsy has returned a lot of small, illiquid coins
 without volume to depositors.
 this is documented in the thread, and also all my friends all got Asiacoin back

 a list of small coins which could be withdrawn was published on blog.cryptsy.com


Sorry - when someone claims that his Asiacoins are blocked now on Cryptsy  this story sounds to me as completely untrue and not legit[/font]

besides, both on this thread and on Cryptsy thread 350+ pages nobody ever specifically complained of blocked Asiacoin.

Asiacoin was one of easiest coins to withdraw as very illiquid.

Returning to Cryptsy stories - supposedly Cryptsy was hacked of around 14.000 BTC early
2015, supposedly due to malware in a wallet of very small coin.
BigVern has decided to disclose this hack after over 20 months.

All this story is weird.
Anyway, officially Cryptsy is short of around 14.000BTC since.
Returning any deposits and values from Cryptsy, having in mind 14.000 BTC loss, wife claims, court order of freezing assets, and class action - this hope is extremely fragile.

As to Asiacoin related to Cryptsy - as have written to this thread several times - believe that millions held on Cryptsy related wallets are not depositors coins but remainder of original April 2014 hack - free coins from hidden premine, washed through (wisely defunct) Mintpal.

And this is real headache for Asiacoin - nobody will try to expensively pump Asiacoin to be dumped on with millions of free Asiacoin from Cryptsy-related guys (friends of original hacker)

Thanks bittcoin for the info.
Didnt know you could withdraw  AsiaCoin succesfully from cryptsy, in fact I never tried it as my other big investments were not withdrawable.
We can indeed ignore cryptsy if we go ahead with a new chain.

as to ''printscreens''

this is quite non-professional

trade printscreens for blockchain

we all know what is real value of Bitcoin and altcoins

the blockchain

hope you can figure out (find somewhere?) your original Asiacoin address? then it will be easy to figure out transfer to Cryptsy

maybe can find original Asiacoin address on Cryptsy logs?
tab 'deposits'

actually, when this transfer was done? 2014? 2015? 2016?

[qgmurugan007]

the transfer was all done in 2015. and I can see all the details.
I am gonna try a withdraw once my wallet is synced up.
