[HYP] HyperStake | Generous Reward Staking | Advanced Staking Controls & Wallet

[presstab]

So have you put any thought into creating a marketplace for HyperStake? You could create small businesses out of it.

I have never had much interest in running that type of infrastructure, but encourage anyone else willing to do it to go ahead and try. I like to focus more on the coin code and blockchain analytics and such.

I would like to try out hyperStake. Where do I get the latest wallet? The link on the website is bad.

Two options would be

HyperStake on https://www.coinpayments.net/vote
Other Place would be https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/MarketPlace

The official version is at github.com/hyperstake/hyperstake/releases

This version contains a patch that prevents the wallet from using too much cpu if you don't have mature coins. https://www.dropbox.com/s/032a8vdznzimlm5/HyperStake-qt-5-1-2015.zip?dl=0

I will have a new official version out in the next few days.

I hear ya, I'd like to also just work on the code itself and not have to worry about the other stuff. I'm working on a marketplace, when I get it up and running I'd also like to offer support for a few other Coins because I think it's important to build the infrastructure around multiple Coins and have markets for multiple Coins that can work together rather than being segmented all the time. The codebase for most coins are the same so then it cuts costs and time if multiple Coins are working across the same code as you can just pull those features but the real gains come from creating your own business out of it, creating use.

What do you guys do for securing your pos minting wallet? I've seen people only connect their wallets to the internet every so often in order to mint pos. Once you get to a big enough balance I can see this getting old as you would have a lot of blocks with different coin ages. I'm wanting as much security as possible, encryption isn't enough. If you get malware on your pc that is capable of stealing your wallet.dat, you probably have a keylogger as well. Here's my thinking, though I am not sure if it would work properly.
Install the wallet on a rasp pi. Load my coins in that wallet. Install an empty wallet on my pc. Block every ip and and port to the pi except from my pc and allow the chain on the pi to only communicate with the node that is running on my pc. I could see an attacker theoretically being able to access the pi through my pc, though this is the best I can think of. Thoughts?

I would also make sure that your wallet is locked with a secure password and then use the unlock for minting feature.

Working on some ways to visualize who is staking what on the chain. Here are what my stakes look like at the moment

[sacskate]

I would say that's definitely smart to do. My concern is that if you have a trojan on your pc that's capable of stealing your wallet, then that trojan most likely installed a keylogger as well. The attacker would easily have logged your password.

Threw my new explorer code online for everyone to test out. http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/HYP/index.php

Its only a $10/mo DO server, so it looks like it is overloaded easily at the moment

[billotronic]

is the password still 12345?

use cut and paste. It's hard to log keys that aren't pressed. You could also use a service like lastpass to generate and store your password. You can also regularly change the encryption.

I have thought about the cut and paste method too. Not a bad idea.

Is anyone interested in selling me 700k HYP at 100 sats off the market?? PM me. We can use presstab as an escrow if he is willing

It's easier to secure. The only foolproof way to keep a computer safe from hacking is to not be connected to any network. That IS doable, but not for staking... but it leads to a thought. you technically could set up everything on an offline computer, including unlock for stake, and then move it to an online computer. Maybe on and SD card or flash drive. I've never tried this. Cold wallets, yes, but not what I just said. So I might be talking out my ass.

You will still need to send the stake into the network. This is why routing through one trusted node could work and blocking connections to all other nodes.

It looks like the spent weight per block is anywhere from 30k -250k with 150k looking to be the average (back of the envelope calculations).

I'm new in the HyperStake world and I saw that the wiki isn't update, so I change the value 4000 HYP with 150k HYP in this page : http://hyperstake.wikia.com/wiki/What_is_PoS%3F?action=edit&section=2
(Before, with the wiki I was thinking I was rich with my 10k HYP, but in fact not ^_^'' )


Someone who knows the real numbers can also do some changes in this page please : http://hyperstake.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_the_best_block_size.3F

Agreed. I feel computer security is something you can always have more of/take more seriously.

well the only problem with editing either is that I do not think anyone could agree on a defacto 'best' block size.

Use a virtual machine with Ubuntu (if you are on Windows), make it isolated from the host OS (don't install sharing tools), don't install anything else in a VM, only a clean wallet. Or use a dedicated desktop with Ubuntu specially for staking (you can make it caseless with a USB installed OS and cheapest monitor), close all ports (leave the wallet ones open and the SSH port open only for your local network). Or use Raspberry with a wallet daemon and RPC control via SSH (leave the SSH port open for global network), just set up a desired split threshold and unlock for staking only by this command - "walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout> [mintonly]" - from a device with a clean OS, e.g. do a factory reset on a smartphone and establish an SSH session with your Raspberry (if you have a dynamic IP, use some dynamic DNS service for Raspberry).
