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

[croTek4]

is it only me or has chain-block-mining mostly stopped? diff almost 5e-5 i mine a block approx ~ 3 mins if i have coins of age.

diff is adjusting well. probably no fixing needed. excellent!

Yes! its stabilizing!! and im pretty sure i just saw 10 active connections.

yep. its now a fact that half a  dozen of wallets is  enough to keep the network alive and the blockchain moving. probably less. not so bad.

edit: diff still rising. lost 3 zeros (or 1000x) of the initial diff @ block 10881.

Looking forward to getting [most of]my stack off trex

I just created a dev wallet: 1 wallet, 4 addresses, 50 coins each. Can be seperated into 4 wallets/nodes if needed (via importprivkey). Enough for  testing stuff.

Also i noticed the average TRI award per PoS block going up - which makes sense with higher diff/slower minting. Almost no 0.0 blocks any more. Looking healthy and sane.

[StephenJH]

Yes, my number of 0.0's has dropped off quite a bit... gotta love normalcy.

Im off for the night and most part of tomorrow, I will check things from time to time.
But I expect it to run smoothly without further intervention.

Hi,

Not yet, but wurstgelee says he should have it ready sometime next week.

[StephenJH]

All those bittrex transactions rolled into my wallet at 3:19 est.
Things look swell.

Yep. looking healthy.

Bittrex wallet still says "disabled" though?

[StephenJH]

Yep disabled for me... cant wait to get those coins staking.

I just organized a nice linux server and the domain "triangles.technology". Block explorer!


Also I think after 24 or maybe even 48h it's time to calculate the average blocktime and decide if to change some parameters. Like introducing a NODE_MIN_STAKING_INTERVAL or something. No more "block spamming", probably no more or almost no 0.00 reward blocks.

[StephenJH]

"triangles.technology" = Vry cool . 

Sent you another couple TRI's... I've been nibbling on them at trex.

Seems logical.

A bunch of old transactions hit my wallet at like 2:30 this morning! Cant wait to get my tri's from trex so i can hook wurstgelee up with some!

i  just made a bootstrap @ 11222 - so we can use that tomorrow in the worst case.

We might actually be okay now.  Chain movement is much better.

Anyone who wants to test TRI with us but has no TRI, sync your chain to the current block, and I'll send you 5 TRI.  PM me your TRI address.

Everyone with TRI, update to latest client.  I think we finally got it.

Wallets:

First make a backup of your wallet. Everyone should do that from time to time. Copy the "%appdata%\roaming\triangles" folder (Windows) to a safe place. Done.

WINDOWS wallet, v 3.4.3.1 "Cheops":

https://mega.co.nz/#!dUkW1TBY!tt7a9rVi4qhdkVi-LiT2MXdBTnV_XtLGmq3KGLlptZA


Included is a folder with a bootstrap.dat file with 10881 blocks (if you wallet isn't synced to 10881 blocks before you update OR IF YOU PREVIOUSLY USED YESTERDAYS RELEASE - see the included readme!). Also a folder with a peers.dat file (if you have trouble finding peers - see the readme!). This bootstrap.dat file is also useful if u just downloaded the wallet: create a folder "triangles" in %appdata%\roaming and place the bootstrap.dat into that folder - then start the wallet.

If u have coins in your wallet, please start your wallet  with the "-connect=lkta5xj5nlnxxmrt.onion:24112" switch via commandline the first time after you updated your wallet. Its a non staking node and syncing to that node first prevents initial forking. Wouldn't  be much of an issue if it happens though. This also helps if u have trouble getting a connection despite using the peers.dat (see above).

once synced, close your wallet and start it again without "-connect" parameter. otherwise youre wallet wont connect to other nodes.

Our wallet is updated, but we won't be re-enabling it till a blockexplorer is up.

sounds fair.

work is in progress.

i was just trying to sync the node which i want to use for the block explorer - which didnt work for more than 11500 blocks.

looks like we had a fork when bittrex enabled the wallet probably due to a big amount of coins suddenly available for stake with maximum coinage. time window fits. syncing always gets stuck @ 11500 claiming that getblockhash is wrong (in debug.log).

you can easily check this (after the usual backup of the triangles folder) by deleting the blkindex.dat, renaming blk0001.dat to bootstrap.dat and starting your wallet again. your wallet will fail to import his own blockchain as bootstrap for more than 11500 blocks - you can verify that in debug.log. if u use your original triangles folder (the backup u just made) again youre synced up to >129xx and it appears to be working normally. am i right?

please tell me if anything above doesnt apply for you.


nothing to worry about now, we will address this tomorrow. dont make any serious transfers right now (since we will have to revert to a clean blockchain state -> 11500), just let it roll.
