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

[Biomech]

Changed it, thanks for the heads up.
I also lost the Hyperstake folder somehow, now i have to reimport the bootstrap all over. I hope it gets it done during the night.

from bootstrap, it usually takes 3-4 hours. Not terrible. It will show out of sync until it's finished reindexing, even if the block height is correct. This isn't a problem, it's just the way it works

Also, and this is something that's a little confusing so I figure it's good general information (for all satoshi based coins) is that you don't HAVE to use the default folder. You can make one and point the client to it. But you have to point it to the folder every time you call it for the daemon, and it needs to be in the launch command line for the QT.

The command is -datadir. For QT, you would run it with hyperstake-qt -datadir=/some/predefined/directory. In windows, you would want to modify the link target to be hyperstake-qt -datadir=\some\predefined\directory

For daemon access, it's hyperstaked -datadir=/some/predefined/directory to launch the daemon and then hyperstaked -datadir=/some/predefined/directory <command> from there out. I actually use this a lot to have multiple copies of the blockchain. Again, this is totally optional.

Guys can someone please help me.

I have been away and so redownloaded new wallet and fresh blockchain, and put my wallet in.

It is not showing any of the coins in my balance, but I have only tranferred coins there once and mined twice.

There are not even any outgoing transfers so are my coins fucked and gone? :/

Did you try to repair your wallet?

You're using the HYPER wallet, not the Hyperstake wallet. It's a different coin.

Lol. All these altcoins are confusing.

Lol. All these altcoins are confusing.

Yeah they certainly are.  I moved my HYP wallet to a different computer, downloaded the bootstrap that was mentioned on page 253, and then watched it get about 1/2 way loaded (took about an hour to reach that point for me) before I went to bed.  This morning I got up, and the HYP wallet had loaded, BUT! it was syncing with the network and had about 14,000 blocks to go.  I went into the appdata folder and the bootstrap.dat had been renamed to bootstrap.dat.old (I thought it did this when it had fully completed as not to run again)  So apparently the bootstrap didn't work??

{EDIT: I'm stupid.  Didn't attempt to read the OP before proceeding with the bootstrap file..  It's right there in black and white!  Too many paint chips as a kid...}

I tried creating my own bootstrap (for S's and G's) with another coin following the directions on another forum where they said go into your roaming folder using a command prompt and use the command copy /b blk0001.dat+blk0002.dat bootstrap.dat (and continue this for however many blk.dat files you have) I had only one, so my code was:

copy /b blk0001.dat bootstrap.dat

It made the bootstrap.dat file.  I copied that and went over to my test machine and popped it into the appdata folder and launched the client.  It wanted to start syncing from scratch.  *SHRUG* I guess it didn't like my bootstrap.dat file!

HAHAHAHA

[pineapples]

is there any guide to setting up a daemon for staking ?
including such things as handy input sizes ??

thanks


///

sometimes clients dont load the complete bootstrap before stopping. then they sync from where it got up to.

i've noticed that sometimes you can continue, if you rename it back to bootstrap again without deleting anything. and sometimes not.



when you made the bootstrap, did you delete all the other files when starting it ? they confuse it if you dont delete them.

[MrZ28s]

Indeed!  Every single file except wallet.dat

.lock, addr.dat, the db text document, the debug document, the blk0001.dat file that was in there, and the blkindex.dat file.  All gone.

The client re-made all the missing files and went to town.

I'm not one hundred percent on this with HYP, but for most satoshi based clients, you can force the issue. Start your daemon or QT with -bootstrap (eg /usr/local/bin/hyperstake-qt -bootstrap)

Most of them look for it anyway. And yes, always delete everything but the configuration file, bootstrap.dat, and (optionally) the wallet. I frequently do it with no wallet, and then copy my old wallet in when it's done. That way if something does go wrong, you only lose time.

Force the issue like Bruce Jenner?

What is the optimal block size for staking?

What is the optimal block size for staking?

That has been the question since the project started. I think the answer remains "it depends". I'm combining to 25K for my next few rounds, and see how it goes. Under 5K takes most of forever to stake, so you have to find the balance between your patience level and expected reward. Lower blocks take longer, but you won't always hit the cap. Bigger blocks hit the cap before you're eligible to stake. I suspect there are as many strategies as there are HYP holders.

Maybe not that much force

Will i be fine with 7.5-10k?
Oh another thing: how do i split blocks in clients that don't have split block feature?

You will be fine with this block sizes, but expect an average staking time of 20-25 days(+-). To split blocks manually select a desired block and send a part of it to yourself (to the initial address or another one in your wallet).

Got it.  So if i wanted them to stake more quickly i'd have to use blocks of 20-25k?

Yes, you are right. You can also try 15-20k range to slightly boost the returns in exchange for some time.
