[ANN] Nyancoin is going for full POS

[douglashoush]

As of this morning, my wallet stopped syncing.  I've tried everything, including adding the addnodes posted earlier.  These still will not allow the wallet to sync the blocks.  Only shows 1 active connection.

Is there anything I can do to get my wallet up and running?  I can mine with the wallet but my coins will not come into it because of the syncing problem.  This has gotten me a little frustrated.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

VERY IMPORTANT Guys, for all who want to help and support NYAN.

Wallet version 1.2 not supported UPnP, this is a cause low count of connections.

You should forward port 33701 MANUALLY through your router/host/etc, else your node could work only in passive mode - no one node cannot connect to your, only you can connect to active (with open port) nodes.

I have opened port and I have up to 20 connected nodes! Now we have only 2 active nodes, this is a very bad.

Do it! Support NYAN network!

UPD: What is port forwarding?

Any news about new wallet, PoS etc?

Last months I was very busy by mining fiat money. For now I finally got some time to it again!
I communicated with Cryptsy team, and they assured me that they ready to accept NYAN 2.0
I regret that day only 24 hours. Development takes a lot of time

As of this morning, my wallet stopped syncing.  I've tried everything, including adding the addnodes posted earlier.  These still will not allow the wallet to sync the blocks.  Only shows 1 active connection.

Time by time VERY LONG blocks appear (more than hour for one block).
Check last block in your wallet (help->debug window->current number of blocks) and compare with info from nyancha.in, little difference it's normal.
For now my wallet in sync.
Try add this node:

Code:

addnode=91.122.100.96

As of lastnight I lost all connections.  I tried adding the node you offered

(91.122.100.96) and still no connections.

I checked the nyan block chain as suggested at nyancha.in

and my current block.  My current block is 495355 and the nyan blockchain is

at 497116.

As for changing the port, I am farily new at this so I don't really know what you

mean by that.

I am currently running the NYAN wallet v1.2.0.0-unk-beta, I have been looking for the

upgraded version.  From what I have read, you are working on the 2.0 version.

I can pool mine through the wallet though.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Dear Douglas, my wallet works very well and have 15 connections for now. I think problem in your side. May be firewall or bad config?
If you want to get some help, give us your .conf file and full log. Don't paste it here please, upload it somewhere and give link.

About port forwarding you can read this and this.

Yes, I'm working on it, but new version not ready to release for now.

P.S. compress your last post if you can, it takes a LOT of space - I tired to scroll it in my 21" monitor

Hi,

I've been reading up on various altcoins and stumbled on this poor thing. I've got a couple tiny VPS that I'm not doing anything with. I'm wondering how much disk space is required to mine nyancoin and what OSes are supported. If it's flexible and small, I just might be able to add a dedicated node...

Hi, thank you!

It takes about 500 MB of disk space.
All supported OS builds and sources you can find on http://nyan-coin.org/

Pos sux shoulda used dpos

[CartmanSPC]

Hi all...didn't realize this thread was around. Hear that there were some vulnerabilities in POS but never did any research on it. I would suggest looking into AuxPOW like Dogecoin did a few months ago as a way to secure the blockchain with plenty of hash.

On a different topic I still support Nyancoin through p2pool at xpool.net

I just left the wallet running and it took a while to find other nodes but it finally did. Here is a list of nodes I am currently connected to:

71.175.81.45
188.166.47.219
91.122.100.96

Edit: I believe Nyancoin uses IRC to communicate nodes so you may want to ensure those ports are open. Don't hold me to this as I haven't checked the source.

[douglashoush]

Is there any other pools out there other than xpool.net?  I would like to try different pools, and I cpu mine.  It's a slow way and get bumped out easily on xpool.

[CartmanSPC]

Put a /0 after your address to get the lowest share diff possible at xpool.net if your trying to CPU mine and there are higher hashrate miners on there.

[douglashoush]

Thanks, CartmanSPC.  Did as you said.  Now I am being seen by the pool.  I'm getting much more 'stratum detected new block' statements between each 'yeah', but I am able to mine and be seen again.

Many thanks.

Grats to the team involved in reviving nyancoin.

I'm in just now.

Update OP with enough info.

[SteinGalen]

Is this coin dead, or what's the status?

[spacewalker1]

maxvall, could you tell us about the current state of your change to pos?

[Milfis]
