Hey all,
I am running the newest wallet 24/7.
I have all block sizes optimized, and in more than two weeks, I have a 61.5% orphan block rate.
The problem is equally bad with the new wallet. Someone suggested I might be on an old wallet, and I was at first, but for the last five days, I have had the newest wallet running. In sheer percentages, my orphaned block rate is actually worse with the new wallet, but to be fair, my coins have been mature longer with the newer wallet running.
I have also occasionally restarted the wallet to make sure that isn't causing any issues.
All I am seeing is an unacceptably high 61.5% orphan rate.
Why is this happening?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Problems with very high orphan rate is usually due to your computer's timekeeping not agreeing with the rest of the network, and the network rejecting your blocks.
Check your time against NTP. Computers sometimes drift a lot and need to be kept synced regularly to compensate.

Or at least it appeared that way to me when I was having a similar problem. I actually ended up resynching on my episode, and that fixed it in combination with repairwallet. I'm far from an expert, but that's what I did

Time is (and has been) perfect. I'm running the latest version of the wallet without any issues (on Ubuntu). Ping your network connection. Check CPU load. You can also use this RPC command to be sure: 'strictprotocol true'.

My first attempt at a 'master' depth chart is up @ presstab.pw/phpexplorer/HYP/markets.php It's the best Block Explorer around, just keeps getting better and better. I haven't used any other since presstab built it, a true work of art.

I have made an attempt to reduce the number of orphans some are experience. I have reduced the amount of hashing into the future that the wallet does from a default of 60 to a default of 45. The hope is that this will make for less stakes that are submitted with a timestamp that is too close to the timedrift cutoff. Please feel free to test this wallet if you are seeing too many orphans. I dont get a lot of orphans myself, but I am staking with linux daemon. This version also has the ability to alter you hashdrift parameter by entering rpc command "hashdrift <seconds>" you should not go over 60 seconds, as that will produce orphans. Entering only "hashdrift" will return your current hashdrift parameter. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2c3sdb0995knlh1/HyperStake-qt-hashdrift-beta.zip

Also cryptopia rubbed me the wrong way. Apparently the hate PoS in general. I would encourage not trading there. https://i.imgur.com/HSNZih1.jpg

New RPC call added 'hashsettings'. I will package it up into a beta release in the near future. https://github.com/hyperstake/HyperStake/commit/3b253ac048b99f462a5ea181df3db037eac84d54hashsettings <drift/interval><seconds> ex: 'hashsettings drift' will return the current drift settings ex: 'hashsettings interval' will return the current interval settings ex: 'hashsettings drift 45' ex: 'hashsettings interval 20' ex: 'hashsettings default' returns the settings to default
hashdrift is how many second into the future your wallet will stake in one hashing burst. Interval is how often your client will search for new hashes. If you set your hashdrift to 45, then your client will create 45 unique proof of stake hashes, the only thing changing the hash result is the timestamp included, thus you hash 45 seconds into the future.\n" "Each hash is an attempt to meet the staking target. If you don't hit the staking target, your client will pause staking for the set interval. If the interval is 22 seconds, the wallet will create 45 hashes, wait 22 seconds, then create 45 hashes. Approximately 23 of those hashes will be identical as the previous rounds hashes.
