If i understood this right, we need a staking wallet to get the blockchain moving. We obviously have none currently -> MAC wallets not staking, win wallets not existing/also not staking, so no PoS blocks, no movement.
Do we need to convince bittrex or some pool (which still has coins in wallet) to put some of their coins on stake? Other ideas?
PS: If anybody here has a compiled, working wallet with coins in it: Bring it online!
PPS: Or am i wrong?
Right now I am experiencing problems syncing.
After looking at the debug log and RPC:getpeerinfo it seems that this is due to faulty connections to .onion peers to download the remaining blocks. It is possible that this is because I am currently on a hospital WIFI with restricted access, so I will try again at a different location.
Some additional notes:
If you look at RPC:getpeerinfo, you will see that many peers have 9002 blocks (fully synced) which is good.
What I believe is the problem right now is not enough staking peers connecting to the network. That said, I have bought all of the TRI that I can, but am unfortunately poor and ran out of BTC
This coin had a very good launch. Dev is quirky (in a fun way), but seems to be active. This network difficulties that we're having right now is an easy repair. We simply need:
1. More peers with 9002 blocks connecting so that we can all sync (alternatively, if someone with 9002 blocks could upload their blk0001.dat, we could fix this by loading with triangles-qt -loadblock="path to blk0001.dat")
2. More wallets containing coins fully synced
Following this, proper PoS minting will occur.
What happened is that when PoW ended and PoS was meant to begin, not enough synced wallets were staking.
In the PoW phase, miners were competing for blocks. In this new PoS phase, wallets with staking coins compete for blocks in a lottery like system where the probability of a wallet to "earn" the right to mint a block is a function of (coin age)(coin size). As soon as we have enough stakers synced, this will continue.
tl;dr: everything is going to be ok; dev doesn't seem to be AWOL; if I had more BTC I would still be buying. Hope this helps!
