[ANN] [2GIVE] / POS+POW HYBRID CHAIN W/5% STAKING AND BLOCK CAPTURE REWARDS

[penambang]

Me too, no such warning on my windows wallet

David,

Not sure why the master is not updating so we'll add that to the backlog:

coind@seed:~$ ./2GiveCoind getcheckpoint
{
    "synccheckpoint" : "000002a64e530e0b5f6cd24642bce9804476c05059b67456ce9f423c5f379f3f",
    "height" : 2621,
    "timestamp" : "2016-05-27 18:25:29 UTC",
    "checkpointmaster" : true
}


Okay I see someone offered a patch -- I need to rebuild the wallets anyway to point to a new ABE for getting address balance information anyway since we transferred the inter.com domain name.

I'll try and get this folded in and released in the next day.

Thanks for your continued support!

The next big thing coming this summer is finishing the work on removing the BDB and going all in on SQLITE.

Also finishing the Proof-of-Giving system that will split POS blocks among designated donation addresses.

And adding in a new "digital notary" TX type to begin testing out the web of trust concepts in IDCoins.

CORRECTION -- I think I found the issue -- only one of the seed nodes was running as checkpoint master -- as soon as I restarted the other seed node they achieved consensus and are both now showing the correct checkpoint!

coind@seed:~$ ./2GiveCoind getcheckpoint
{
    "synccheckpoint" : "bd36214c7b42b4403ef8028182989a01a9dc34583bb857b8d51d297a34ea8c01",
    "height" : 48714,
    "timestamp" : "2017-04-24 15:35:24 UTC",
    "checkpointmaster" : true
}

coind@seed2:~$ ./2GiveCoind getcheckpoint
{
    "synccheckpoint" : "bd36214c7b42b4403ef8028182989a01a9dc34583bb857b8d51d297a34ea8c01",
    "height" : 48714,
    "timestamp" : "2017-04-24 15:35:24 UTC",
    "checkpointmaster" : true
}

AND checking a non sync-master node is also showing the correct info:

coind@xtc:~$ ./2GiveCoind getcheckpoint
{
    "synccheckpoint" : "bd36214c7b42b4403ef8028182989a01a9dc34583bb857b8d51d297a34ea8c01",
    "height" : 48714,
    "timestamp" : "2017-04-24 15:35:24 UTC"
}

Nice!!!



Thanks DvD 

[TheLittleDuke]

Nice!!!

Thanks DvD  

My pleasure.  I really do appreciate the suggested patches offered up by the community.  I would rather "do it right than do it over" and we will enhance the list of hard sync's in the code with each release.

Now that the seed nodes are correctly configured to be authoritative systems of record for sync checks we can scale up without much human intervention and will work to add additional geographically strategically placed seed nodes this summer to increase resiliency and fault-tolerance.

I appreciate your continued vigilance, support and oversight.

My wallet is out of sync. Restart doesnt help. How fix that?

Hi all,

I've just joined this forum, I've been investing in may alt coins for the last year or so, including to 2give. I have just started using slack and would kindly ask if someone could invite me to the group? I'd like to follow the development and community.

Cheers,

My wallet is out of sync. Restart doesnt help. How fix that?

1. backup your wallet

2. you can safely delete

blk0001.dat
blkindex.dat

and the file(s) in subdirectory "database"

3. restart wallet to sync the chain

3 of my 2Give node stuck on block 49151, getinfo displayed this warning:

Code:

"errors" : "WARNING: Invalid checkpoint found! Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or notify developers."

Update:
Bittrex wallet also showing some weird status

[TheLittleDuke]

HMMM....the seed nodes look normal but

    "blocks" : 49165,

but, i'm showing ORPHAN and rejects in our logs and I see the block explorers at block height 49,177

We'll put out update for the hard checkpoints and update the DNS entry this weekend.

I did that and it fixed maybe for 2 hours. And again its syncing and not any stake or rewards comes. Simple said its stuck.

If you do a getinfo what is the block count?

I've confirmed that the seed nodes are fully in sync and we did a manual checkpoint at:

{
"synccheckpoint" : "000003e1c27946ac57fde950bfde6fa890f8c132824770eff1e26724b940cbe1",
"height" : 49208,
"timestamp" : "2017-04-29 18:46:17 UTC"
}

If you end up getting stuck synchronizing, you can always delete blk00001.dat, blkindex.dat and the file in database/ directory, then configure your wallet to only connect to our seed node to pull down the chain

listen=0
connect=192.169.7.65

I've made a note to go in and review the checkpointing code -- I don't think its reasonable to have it checkpointing every block that gets provisionally confirmed -- makes more sense to have it do so every 4,8,16 or 32 blocks just to make sure we allow for network consensus.

I've long thought that bootstrapping a wallet was inefficient one block at a time -- it makes more sense to do a RSYNC like whole file pull from trusted sources.   I'll add that to the list for this summers enhancements.

Thanks for your continued support <3

It's pretty quiet in the slack atm, but if you send me a PM I'll invite you

Then I have 23 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes to renew ;-)

I've pushed up code to fix the URL issue with API pulling the wallet balances and dropped a recent checkpoint in -- will be filling it in shortly once I get some code finished to scan the chain and select candidate checkpoints automatically.

New wallets coming soon!

Nice!  Will the advanced coin control be working properly with the new release?  I would be nice to split up a few blocks to try to get the chain running more evenly.
