[ANN] Triangles [TRI] Now Stable & Working Anonymous Cloak over TOR - ON BITTREX

[wurstgelee]

soooo.....network seems stable - but no pos minting happens.

problem is most likely the coin maturity which is way to high for the relatively small amount of nodes.

when i brought online my wallet after a few days, i almost immediately minted a pos block with 300 TRI (i could have quickly set reservebalance but who thinks of that?) - so those coins are on stake for over 50 blocks and unusable for staking currently. i figure that this is what happened to most of you guys: all coins on stake, no balance for staking available.

most of you - like me - also probably tried to transfer additional coins from bittrex since this would only need 4 confirmations - unfortunately these confirmations wont happen. the reason is whenever someone brings online a wallet with some coins to stake in it (because maybe he downloads the blk0001.dat), he most likely doesnt have your transaction from bittrex in his mempool because his wallet wasnt online when you submitted your withdrawal (you can check your mempool with 'getrawmempool' in debug console - you should see all your unconfirmed transactions there). this means your transaction doesnt get included in blocks he possibly mints. the "new player" then mints maybe a few blocks until his coins are on all stake - but all without your transaction - and we would be stuck again. so no help from there.


so currently we have a deadlock.

one way to resolve this would be to drastically reduce coin maturity (maybe 10 or even lower) to reflect the relatively small amount of nodes/wallets online. also raise protocol version and min_proto_version, add synccheckpoint. maybe add some gui option to set the amount of coins you want to put on stake with default value (percentage, total, minimum - sth like that) - the method to do that is already available (reservebalance), or even hardcode that. so basically instantly hardfork it.

tell bittrex to shutdown wallet, release updated sources, wallets, network should immediately pick up pace with a few wallets online because coins for staking avaliable, check if stable, tell bittrex to bring online new wallet. something like that.

I never checked if reserve balance would work with this coin, but wurstglee says it would.

So, a second option for anyone knows how to set reserve balance and hasn't gotten their wallet up to 10879 and staked their coins; you could try to mint 40 blocks by yourself with a low number of coins.  (The number is actually a little less than 40.  I think I need 32 more confirmations.)  It would probably be somewhat annoying and take awhile.

I've never used reserve balance, but this is how you do it with Windows and 42 coins, I think.  Wurstglee, correct me if I'm wrong.
First, you need to enable hidden files and folders and go to your Users\AppData\Roaming\triangles folder
Create a triangles.txt file and rename it to .conf (you need to have the Windows option enabled to actually changes the file when you alter the extension) and copy and paste the following into the file and save the file:
server=1
rpcuser=trianglesuser
rpcpassword=trianglesusertest
reservebalance=41

Follow the instructions on the first page to sync up your client.  If you're doing the loadblock command correctly, it takes a few minutes to load.

After you mint a block, change the .conf to
server=1
rpcuser=trianglesuser
rpcpassword=trianglesusertest
reservebalance=40

etc.

Thanks

oh...tbh....i ASSUME reservebalance would work since its there.

3angle? would it work?

and this would probably help short term (in a very annoying way) - but things have to be changed anyways to work permanently.

I've followed the instructions on the updated ANN and was synced before doing that.  Now I am unable to get synched again.

I had coins that were sent to Bittrex that had over 200+ confirmations and now they show as 0 confirmations and have been sitting pending at Bittrex for 3 days.

Anyhow, Ive tried going through it multiple times and end up at the same place.. 

All of my minting from staking seems to be wiped out, 0 confirmations, and not sure whats up with the coins I sent to Bittrex, they obviously aren't able to get their wallet synched either or something.

..confused..

[romeshomey]

Seems I get to the right block but I get stuck here.

My balance should be 0.00000000, not 0.19640100

My coins were sent to Bittrex which are pending there as a deposit with 0 confirmations.

If your coins didn't stake yet, can you try the reserve balance thing and then loadblock?  You might have sent them on the wrong fork.

edit: Actually, I'm not sure why they would continue to show as pending unless the block you sent them on was orphaned.  Either way, they should be back in your wallet.

[romeshomey]

I did try the reserve balance thing but Im still stuck and wallet not synching.

It shows I have 8 active connections to the network but does not sync.

This is what shows at Bittrex.

Last checked:
08/11/2014 11:48:49 AM   TRI   8.66026000   0 / 6

When I initially sent, it showed

TRI   8.66026000   1 / 6

I also had like 256 confirmations in my wallet on the transaction.

Then I saw the updated ANN and did the new steps to open the wallet and have been having issues and haven't been able to sync since.

Block 10879 is the last block.  That's the one you're on, right?  If so, just leave your wallet open.  It might just say out of sync because it's been awhile since the last block was generated.

I guess I was staking on the wrong fork or something, I have like a dozen mined transactions from staking that seemed to be wiped out.   Changed from confirmed to unconfirmed and unaccepted.

That seems right.

Yeah.

[wurstgelee]

those  bittrex transactions not being confirmed is the phenomenon i described earlier (see 'mempool').

the good news is no coins are lost.

in the worst case, your transactions to and from bittrex start getting confirmations as soon as you mine the next block yourself because those transaction would be included in this  block then ("getrawmempool" in wallet debug console - all you unconfirmed transactions should be listed there. these transactions are what your wallet would include in the next PoS block if it mints one).

your wallet should repopulate those unconfirmed transactions in a certain interval - about that part im not 100% sure.

somebody correct me please if im misguided here.

is anybody here who has confirmed coins in his wallet (not stake!) and hasn't synced to block 10879 yet? if so, reveal yourself please.
DONT SYNC - JUST POST HERE FIRST.



edit: all this dumping again. you guys are fckn impatient.

IMPORTANT!

(this is may be the chance to get things moving again)

so you have a balance of 8.3 something - your wallet says youre staking then i guess?

@ EVERYONE:

PLEASE DROP A NOTE HERE IF YOURE CURRENTLY MINTING SO OTHERS CAN SEND COINS FROM BITTREX! BRING WALLET ONLINE - DROP NOTE!

this way those bittrex transactions would be included in the block which will be minted by your wallet and therefore confirmed in all subsequent blocks! so this has to happen before you actually mine the block(s)!


@romeshomey:

whats the highlight text of the red "minting" icon (the triangle in the lower right corner of the wallet) if you hover your mouse pointer over it?

after that please type "reservebalance true, 7" in the debug console of your wallet.
whats the highlight text now?




edit: i just sent some more coins from bittrex....just in case.

AND FOR MAC?[/color]

what command line to open on terminal??

riangles-qt.exe -loadblock=<path to extracted blk0001.dat from archive>            (like c:\blk0001.dat)
?


how to use peers.dat and blk0001.dat:

- (close wallet if not done already)
- replace your peers.dat @ %userprofile%\appdata\Roaming\triangles (windows) with the one from the archive.
- delete or rename your blk*.dat files in the same folder (both) and start your wallet like this:

triangles-qt.exe -loadblock=<path to extracted blk0001.dat from archive>            (like c:\blk0001.dat)

takes a few secs but your wallet should come up with 10868 blocks.
wait another few mins and you should have some connections.

[wurstgelee]

Same way you start a wallet from the terminal but with commandline switches. Switches should be the same for al platforms.

STOP!

But before you do that (only in case you have coins in your wallet!):

Please add an additonal comand line switch ans start the wallet like this via terminal:  <-- That should be the answer to your question, right?

/path/to/<macexecutable> -loadblock=/path/to/block -reservebalance=100000

This way your wallet would sync but wouldnt start staking (since 100000 coins would be excluded from staking - double the amount of all TRI). If everything works leave your wallet online that way.

Post here stating that you have an online wallet ready to stake and give others a few hours to send coins from bittrex. If your wallet is online while these transactions are initiated, these transaction are known to your wallet and are included in the 1st block you are gonna mine.

Also other users should do "resendtx" via debug console to repopulate the unconfirmed transactions they have in their wallets. (im not sure if this works  - it should. or not? could someone confirm?)

After you left the wallet online without staking for a while (a whole day would be superb if possible - different timezones of users... ), the actual staking begins:


The goal is mining at least 5 blocks (4, but 5 is better) with your TRI balance - to do this, you only put 20% of your coins on stake for each block. this is how you do it:

Lets say you have 100 TRI.

-close your wallet
-start it again, tihs time with: /path/to<macexecutable> -loadblock=/path/to/block -reservebalance=80 -> only 20 TRI on stake
-when block mined (+5 mins or more), close your wallet
-start it again, tihs time with: /path/to<macexecutable> -loadblock=/path/to/block -reservebalance=60 -> only 20 TRI on stake
-when block mined (+5 mins or more), close your wallet
-start it again, tihs time with: /path/to<macexecutable> -loadblock=/path/to/block -reservebalance=60 -> only 20 TRI on stake

And so on. You get the drill.

If this works out, some people should have "fresh" coins for minting in their wallet and the blockchain should start moving again.

TRI would be forever in your debt. You know why.

edit: I hope I'm right about the mac terminal commandline part - someone correct me if I'm not.

[croTek4]

Whats this i see?? 2 new blocks?!!
newer transactions still have 0 confirms, but mined transactions show 2 more confirms. Only 36 more blocks to go!

[wurstgelee]

wow, lots of transactions..... - see "getrawmempool".

[pseudonymdude]

I might be first, but if anyone needs less than 27 transactions, make sure to set reserve balance as per wurstgelee's instructions

you would have confirmations on those transactions if someone  had followed what i wrote above.... :/

@pseudonymdude: i doubt that we will get another 27 blocks with current coin maturity settings. This is the time for the dev to do something.

@3angle: do it!
