WTF? Today is my 5 year anniversary on bitcointalk....I need to do something with my life  


Very cool to see some old accounts remaining active in the community. OMFG, what a ride it's been.

Great to see new faces as well, you've stumbled into a great project.



Staking 24/7 again, nom nom nom nom.

"orphan stakes are the worst"

Happy anniversary!

Cheers to the next 5!

Does anyone know how I can move my staking balance to my main balance within the Navcoin wallet?

[CryptoJohn]

Does anyone know how I can move my staking balance to my main balance within the Navcoin wallet?

it should be as easy as:

1)lockwallet to stop staking, wait a few confirmation cycles for any recently stakes coins to mature.

2)settings>options>wallet   check "enable coin control"

3)on send tab, add the preferred address to send to and choose the inputs(address) to send from.

*)always test with a small amount of coin(1 coin) until you are sure you have the technique figured out.

this doesn't seem to be working. I actually have 0 in my main balance but my staking balance is 17. Is this what is causing the problem?

What version of wallet are you using?
How are you staking if you have 0 in your main address?
Have you checked balances against the Nav explorer to ensure accuracy?

this should be pretty straight forward.
You select the inputs to use for sending


Then add address where you want to send coins

version 4.5.2
I was staking in the past but moved all of the coins from my main balance.

Unfortunately I can't seem to be able to attach screenshots here. But my main balance is 0 and my staking balance is like as follows:

24H: 0 NAV
7D: 0 NAV
30D: 0 NAV
1Y: 0 NAV
ALL: 17.03450789 NAV

When I try to change the inputs I am unable to select the input from my staking balance like you can.

When I try to change the inputs I am unable to select the input from my staking balance like you can.

Maybe there is some confusion.
The above data only shows amount of coins staked during time periods and not actual balance. Balance would be above that on wallet under "Balances"
Staked coins typically end up the same wallet address as they are staked from.

I'm assuming at this point the problem is solved 

If that is not the issue then continue troubleshooting below::::::

Check you wallet balances here:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/nav/ & https://www.navexplorer.com/

If you find the explorer balance does not match the wallet balance then you could try re-indexing to correct this.

1) backup wallet.dat
2) find folder on computer where navcoin-qt.exe is located.
3) In that folder(for windows machine) hold shift and right-click, select open command window here.
4) in command window type "navcoin-qt -reindex" with a space between "qt" and "-reindex".
5) let wallet sync 100%
6) check balance

OK I understand now!  Yes the problem is now indeed solved!

Thank you very much for your assistance with this. Much appreciated!

BlockchainNZ Talk & NavCoin Meetup



This week NavCoin’s Co-Founder Craig talked at the first Blockchain NZ event of the year, the first inaugural NavCoin Meetup in Auckland was held and the Spanish translation of the NavCoin website is live.

This week's top story
BlockchainNZ Talk & NavCoin Meetup

The Blockchain Association of NZ invited NavCoin’s Co-Founder Craig MacGregor to speak at their first speaker series event of the year in Auckland, New Zealand. The talk was held at the GridAKL event space in the innovation precinct of downtown Auckland. Craig’s presentation covered the full breadth of NavCoin from its values and how it started to what the protocol is and what the future holds. The presentation was well received and was followed by an energetic Q&A session from the engaged audience. If you want to check out the presentation it is available for download here.





After the BlockchainNZ event, attending NavCoin Core team and some of the BlockchainNZ members headed down to the Jack Tar on the waterfront for the NavCoin meetup. The meetup was more of a casual social event, but it marks the first of many NavCoin and Blockchain meetups NavCoin Core are hoping to host in Auckland this year to help spread awareness about the NavCoin protocol and community.

ZeroCT Phase Two Approaches Testnet Release



Phase two of ZeroCT with Confidential Transactions is nearly ready to be deployed to the testnet, NavCoin’s Community Fund pays for carbon credits to offset the networks power consumption and the NavDroid is nearing completion.


This week's top story
ZeroCT Phase Two Approaches Testnet Release

Implementation of NavCoin’s new on chain privacy method ZeroCT is well under way and is fast approaching its next major milestone. The first phase was released on the testnet some weeks ago and is currently available for review and feedback on GitHub. In this first phase, the implementation is using multiple denomination based accumulators more similar to the original Zerocoin protocol, with the additional features like anonymous identities and the ability to transact within the accumulator as described in the ZeroCT white paper.

While phase one undergoes testing and review, Alex has been busy working on phase two and is nearly ready to deploy it to the testnet. This second phase includes confidential transactions and allows for private staking as well as regular transactions. This means the transaction amounts will no longer be visible on the blockchain and there will no longer be a requirement for denomination based accumulators.

From Alex’s testing so far, the performance of the implementation is looking good. Verifying a transaction takes ~450ms, sending a transaction takes ~650ms and staking takes ~2s.

Once the second phase is on the testnet there is going to be a lot of testing and peer review required to make sure that it operates as expected before launching this new protocol on the mainnet. The more people who can review the code and test the protocol, the faster and more thorough this process will be. If you want to get involved in testing and code reviews, please join us on GitHub and Discord.

ZeroCT Phase Two Testnet Launched



The fully featured ZeroCT implementation has been launched on the testnet and NavCoin has been listed on the Equicex Exchange & Debit Card platform.

This week's top story
ZeroCT Phase Two Testnet Launched

NavCoin’s new on-chain private transaction protocol ZeroCT has reached another major milestone with the deployment of its second phase to the testnet. The addition of non-denominational RSA accumulators and confidential transactions means the testnet now meets the design specification described in the ZeroCT white paper. With the main protocol implementation complete, the efforts shift to review, refinement, testing and interface design.

It seems the protocol is gaining some attention as development progresses. The ZeroCT white paper has been included in zk Capital’s newsletter which you can read here;

https://zkcapital.substack.com/p/this-month-in-blockchain-research 

If you want to try ZeroCT, you can build the binaries from the source code on GitHub or download the compiled binaries directly from the community site;

https://build.nav.community/zeroct1

The more people who can review the code and test the wallet, the faster and more thorough this process will be. You don’t have to be a developer to participate in the beta testing, just try it out and if anything doesn’t work as expected log an issue on GitHub and chat with us on Discord.

If you’re new to NavCoin or the ZeroCT protocol, a good place to start is with this two part article series that gives context around how the protocol was designed and what makes it unique;

NavDroid StakeBox Public Beta



The NavDroid StakeBox has been released for public peer review and the NavCoin Knowledge Base is now open source and community driven.


This week's top story
NavDroid StakeBox Public Beta

The NavCoin network is secured by Proof of Stake which is a form of network consensus that requires only a minimal amount of computing power. There is no requirement to have specialised computer chips or expensive mining rigs since increased computing power does not lead to increased mining rewards. At the beginning of 2017 the NavPi was released, a Raspberry Pi computer the size of a credit card, loaded with the software and interface to participate in securing the NavCoin network. Since then, the NavCoin blockchain has grown and the onboard memory of the NavPi struggled to keep up with storing all the block headers. Since then, NavCoin Core has been looking for alternative low powered devices to take over the reigns from the NavPi.

A couple of months ago work began on creating the NavDroid interface for the Odroid XU4. The beta version of this software is now available to the public for download. The software provides the basic functionality for mining on the XU4 device; Send, Receive, Transaction Lists, Community Fund Voting, Encrypt, Backup and Restore.

The software is built with NodeJS and Angular, and fully open source. We encourage any web developers or designers who would like to get involved in working with blockchain to try the software, test it and help to fix bugs or improve the user interface. What we’ve released today is simply a starting point for the community to run with.

Until the software has been fully peer reviewed and any bugs fixed, we recommend using the NavDroid with caution and not using it as your primary mining device.

You can install the repositories on an existing Odroid by cloning the software from GitHub and installing with NPM, or if you want to download the image join the community on discord to get the download link.

There are two main code repositories;

NavCoin Express is the NodeJS back end server that interacts with the daemon and provides the API to the front end.

https://github.com/Encrypt-S/navcoin-express

NavCoin Angular is the Angular front end web server that provides the web interface for controlling your NavCoin wallet.

https://github.com/Encrypt-S/navcoin-angular

If you find any bugs or want to make any improvements, please create an issue or a pull request on the appropriate repository and join the community on discord to discuss.

[anjam_2018]

hello,
through ZeroCT Navcoin is better than Monero, Dash and the other coins?
Will the transfers become completely anonymous and can not be tracked?
Thanks in advance

[bspus]

NAV is on fire these days, steadily growing in price. Let's hope it lasts.

It was greatly undervalued and the new progress is becoming visible now.

NAV COIN is sleeping so so long...!

NEXT Lite Wallet RC1 Released



The NEXT Lite Wallet RC1 has been released, progress has been made patching NavPay for cold staking and NavCoin is now on social media platform Cent.

This week's top story
NEXT Lite Wallet RC1 Released

The first release candidate (RC1) of the NEXT Lite wallet has been officially released. For those who are unfamiliar with the project, NEXT is a modern desktop wallet interface originally built for NavCoin and which now has support for other cryptocurrencies. Previously the NEXT wallet needed to be run as a full node which requires downloading the entire blockchain of the cryptocurrencies you want to use. The NEXT developers have now enabled the wallet to run in “lite” mode which doesn’t require the full blockchain to be downloaded. While the wallet looks to a remote server for the blockchain, it still retains control of its private keys so it can create and sign transactions before broadcasting them to be relayed. Any attempt to tamper with the transaction in transit would invalidate the signature and it would be rejected by the rest of the network. Behind the scenes NEXT uses the same open source framework as NavPay. These libraries have been well tested and reviewed making them a solid starting point for any lite wallet.

The NEXT Lite Wallet has been in public beta for a number of weeks and the development team behind it is now confident the remaining bugs have been ironed out. They’ve added some additional security measures and community fund features to the latest version and published it as RC1. To read the full change log and get the latest version of the wallet visit the NavCommunity blog.
