First of all, great job from rentamouse and edschroedinger

Only my sparks are staking for several days now and won't come out of staking. I already deleted the wallet twice and synced but its stays on stake. (and of course updated the wallet)
Did i miss something or did something wrong, i don't no. maybe someone can help?

Hey, what happened to Suprnova? Still had some coins there, then the f*ckup happened and now the pool is gone :/

OCMiner? You here?

There was a post from Supernova pool a couple of days ago saying they were going to close their wallet.

Problem with the staking is still apparent - the difficulty cannot drop any more than the current 0.000244 - if you have a small number of coins staking then it may take several days for them to build up enough stake weight to get a block. You dont lose out on any interest but its causing a problem still because the low block count means it takes a long time for transactions to completely confirm (needs 10 blocks).

If block production isnt back to normal in the next day or two I will look at releasing another wallet update to address the problem.

I shutted it after the fuckup, message me your username and I will have a Look. Send me your coin address too.

Spark reached nearly 3000 sat on BTER this morning.

At Bittrex still priced around 600 sat

Yes! This is just sad

Yes! This is just sad  

Maybe more reason for me to join BTer at this point.  Bittrex market usually is pretty extreme.  I think too extreme.  Slight bad forecast can make a market crash and never recover.  Its like people have zero hope after the slightest bad news.  If community saves this coin and makes it work, there is no reason for 600 sat.  I guess I'll let the community or markets determine that though before I proceed.  At least this seems more hopeful than XNAN at this point.  XNAN/SPARK dev., I still hope your shit still gets hacked for being a little bitch and running away from a project with your tail between your legs only to start up another project with equal incompetence.

Bittrex market extremes present incredible opportunities to accumulate quality coins at a fraction of their true value.  REKT for example has only 568,000 coins in circulation which were mined at 35 G/H.  A little hiccup and REKT's market cap dropped over $15,000 to now $1,200.  Wallet works perfectly after being fixed and the coin is less than 2 weeks old.  WTFcoin which has far less going for it is trading at a market cap of around $70,000.  Key is to sit tight until all the overly emotional early adopters have sold and are replaced with new forward thinking buyers.

i sent spark from the new wallet to bter 2 days ago and still no confirmations

Something must have gone wrong with your transaction I'm afraid, we've had about 40 blocks in the last 48hrs - still a lot lower than it should be, but txes only need 10 blocks to confirm so your SPARK should have reached BTER. If you find your tx id you can use the "Block Explorer" in the Windows wallet to check whether it is in the blockchain. Otherwise it may be that your wallet is out of sync - at the time of writing we are on block 24614

i keep my wallet synched, after i installed the new wallet was there anything i needed to modify in settings?

Shouldnt have been anything extra, as long as your wallet is getting peer connections and receiving new blocks it should be able to send transactions on the network. If you are using the Windows wallet you should be able to go to the "transactions" page and right click on your sending tx, then copy the tx id. The tx lookup on the Block Explorer page isnt great but it should come back with some info if the tx is on the blockchain, if it says "fail" then for some reason the tx wasnt broadcast.

If it did fail then one possibility is that it spent too long in the mempool without being included in a block, the default is usually 24hrs (I havent checked if that has been modified in SPARK but I doubt it), after which it would be flushed. However if that did happen the coins should be returned to your wallet so you can try sending again...

[RentaMouse]

Ok, I've been keeping an eye on the blockchain and the min PoS difficulty will have to be reduced so we can have a reasonable block production rate for staking, transactions etc. Its not a difficult change to make so new wallet version should be ready soon.

[kelvng105]

takes a day to get coins to bter... they need 6 confirms..

[kelvng105]

Everything allright? It has been 2 days.. since I sent the coins to BTER..

SPARK is scamer, i have lost my money went buy spark..... Transaction of spark has been complete but no pending, no transaction, no receive....

SCAMER......  

[kelvng105]

0 confirms...

[RentaMouse]

Noone is being scammed, block production is just too slow currently so transactions take too long to confirm. I will release an updated client with fix as soon as I can, in the meantime the more people with SPARK staking on the network the more blocks will be produced.

hi ive got 90sparks in suchpool .. anyone can dm me your address and i will send it to you..

Greetings SPARKers! I have just completed the upload of SPARK v1.3 - this is a MANDATORY upgrade!!

I have made several changes to address the slow block production problem that is delaying txes and making the coin nearly unusable:

• Reduced the minimum PoS difficulty level allowed
• Reduced the number of blocks required before moved SPARK can start staking again
• Changed the difficulty retargeting algorithm to respond more efficiently
• Also replaced the DNS seed node so new users should find it easier to connect their wallet

The algo change is set to take effect at block 24630, if you have not updated by then your wallet will start rejecting new blocks.

The new source code and compiled Windows release are available at https://github.com/RentaMouse/Spark/releases/tag/v1.3.0

Rather than package the complete install again this is just the updated Spark-qt.exe - download it and replace the existing exe file in your Spark folder. To be on the safe side this is a good opportunity to make a backup of your SPARK wallet.dat file.

I have also updated my Windows QT compiler so hopefully this release will be more stable than the original version. I'm afraid there are still a lot of (mainly cosmetic) features in the GUI wallet which do not function, Most of them, e.g. the market data, are coded to use the getspark.com web server which the original dev took offline when he quit and I dont see them as a priority to fix. Once we get the network stable I have some ideas for making SPARK useful, more on that to come.
