[ANN][0.8.6.6] Hirocoin - X11 - Hardfork at Block 290,000 [Complete] - *New Dev*

[raveneye]

Please git pull the new updates from https://github.com/OmarxGx/Hirocoin

I have added additional rules to disconnect from the old client beginning at block 287,500. This should ensure that the hardfork will occur regardless of where the new block is solved as the old client will be invalidated.

Great... but there are now 3 versions of the code on the network sporting the version number v8.6.5 70013 (and one v8.6.5 70012):

Hiro's fork at 224000 (70012)
Omar's fork at 285550
Omar's fork at 287550
Omar's fork at 287550 w/disconnect other versions

It would be nice if you updated version numbers as you updated code, particularly when you are altering the block chain.

The rule will check for Protocol version 70013. The other versions never synced and the code also checks for chain length so we shouldn't see any issues. I will keep in mind to update the version numbers regardless each time I do make an edit.

Thanks

Fork failed again at block 287500

error: {"code":-1,"message":"CreateNewBlock() : ConnectBlock failed"}

Also no exchange processing deposits now  

Will be back to the original hiro version for now!

[sakr]

So it looks like there was an error in Hiro's original code which has caused these errors in hardforking.

I have opted for a direct halving at block 288,000 in the meantime. I'll be investigating the issue and will issue a fix when possible. I was told by Hiro that this update had been tested previously but I will test it myself.

please allow people time to update before forking, also what about exchanges?

[OmarGsPools]

I have submitted what I hope to be the final change to the github. I had some help from Raveneye to fix the bug causing the ConnectBlock error.

If you download the client you should be able to sync correctly to the current chain that I am on along with the clients who did not upgraded as it's the longest one. The client will disconnect at block 290,000 and MintPal will allow deposits and withdrawals on the new client as soon as the move to MintPalv2 is complete.

Please update to the new client and use this in your hirocoin.conf to sync to the correct chain with the new client.

UPDATED LIST OF NODES (v. 0.8.6)

addnode=93.178.105.197
addnode=176.28.13.164
addnode=67.215.11.195
addnode=188.226.194.191
addnode=110.143.228.78
addnode=54.193.113.180
addnode=192.99.32.187

Sorry for the inconvenience

The block explorer is now running correctly. It can be found here:

http://explorer.hiropool.org:3001/

There's an issue with the Insight Explorer and X11 hash function causing live block updates to cause a crash. Everything besides the latest blocks tab is functional. The correct block height is available at the top and syncs correctly.

The hardfork is complete and the dynamic block rewards are now in place. Please remember to download the newest client in the ANN post. MintPal should be on the new client when MintPalv2 is active.

Allcoin has updated to the newest client.

the fork did fianally work, however the network is still weak, i have 1 network connections :/

Add the list of nodes to your conf. I have 13 connections on the block explorer, 6 on my pool and 7 on my personal wallet. Hopefully as time goes on the DNSeeder should become more efficient and automatically connecting the clients to nodes.

[OmarGsPools]

hmmmm. i see a warning, and my wallet was able to connect to this node,
and 3-4 more the same old protocol, i thought it shouldn't:

{
"addr" : "162.243.212.142:9348",
"services" : "00000003",
"lastsend" : 1411651805,
"lastrecv" : 1411651805,
"bytessent" : 1898,
"bytesrecv" : 64021,
"blocksrequested" : 0,
"conntime" : 1411651787,
"version" : 70012,
"subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.6.4/",
"inbound" : false,
"startingheight" : 290539,
"banscore" : 0
}

The links have been updated with the windows client that includes the rule. The linux clients are correctly disconnecting from the old nodes.

[OmarGsPools]

That P2Pool hasn't updated to the current client and is on an invalid fork. To check the current valid block chain check the block explorer.

I 0.8.6.5 nodes are from the previous attempt to fork. In the next update with the new wallet UI I'll update the rule to only connect to 70014 Protocol (Next Version).

Nice to see the new thread has some activity.

Any plans for a 0.8.6.6 mac wallet?

[shwin]

"NOTICE: Deposits and withdrawals are temporarily disabled for HIRO due to blockchain problems following the recent hardfork."

any idea when mintpal deposit will be operationnal ?

[girino]

the link for p2pool scanner in the first post is offline:

Code:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Can someone point me out to p2pools that are already in the fork?

Mintpal deposits finally resumed.

I constantly get "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade." error. What could be causing this problem ? I've tried to download the whole block chain with new wallet and got the same error. I''m using windows client 0.8.6.6.

In the hirocoin folder found in AppData, delete the blocks folder, chainstate folder and database folder.

Delete your peers.dat file and add this to your conf

connect=124.184.5.39
connect=110.143.228.78
connect=67.215.11.195
connect=208.84.132.253

The P2Pool-scanner-link in the first posting seems to not work correctly. Leads to a "forbidden"-message.

I'll look into getting a new scanner. As far as I know however, the current Hiro P2Pool code will need to be modified for the new subsidy implemented.

Hello,
Reward is 200 or 400 ?

[OmarGsPools]

The average reward is 200.

Also the orphan blocks issue is fixed.
