[ANN] Snowballs | ONE MORE HARD FORK to BALLS 2.0.2 | BALLS/MMXIV Market OPEN

[eprocent]

You know you're not stuck on a block if it's the current block. They are slow while people figure out the new staking. It'll speed back up

For 2 days in wallet for 50k "expected time to earn rewards is seconds" but nothing happens. Sometimes 0 seconds.

weigh is + 204000

Why?

Actual most people earned rewards after 9 days, me also. So just wait 7 days more, then you should earn rewards.
The expected time is kind of strange, i guess actual everyone has this low time at some point without action, also it will go up and down, but you should earn rewards in about 9 days.

Greets

Until December 24 I am staking several times daily. As of December 25 I staking only 3 times. Last January 6. I do not understand.

Can't explain why, not that deep in tech... sry.
But a lot of people had "problems" and didn't received any stakes as usual since christmas time as you can read back in thread, but it seems that after 9 days nearly all received stakes.
I got about 25% after 9 days, all fine.

Until December 24 I am staking several times daily. As of December 25 I staking only 3 times. Last January 6. I do not understand.

There is much confusion about this. I understand that after 25 December to start staking again in appr. 9 days. I at appr 9 days, I had my first staking after christmas. There were 2 very small and one of + 20%, but 5 days is not staking anything though wight 205k appr. 2, 3 days estimated time appears several seconds even 0 seconds.

What I understand from this? It is normal to be so? Sorry for my poor english.

I would be patient, if you don't receive any rewards around 15/16 january you should move your coins again maybe.
I also don't understand what's the matter with the reward time but maybe the 6th jan. was something like "the new date" to count down for your wallet. Don't know even why if true... just a thought.
I moved my coins on 28.12 and received rewards on 06.01.

I guess someone else can explain this more clearly, but just have patience, your balls should stake around 15/16.
(What was the last time you moved them?)

I moved coins in December 25th, but I do not think you have to move, because those who have not moved, they still have staking again without moving them. I think there's a problem.

Well, don't know if it is a real problem or just a kind of delay(imo yes!), but i bet in a few days you will be lucky again with your Balls.

Thank You. We'll see what happens.

Due to popular request, we have also decided to sell just the sd card for half the price of a full unit. These cards come loaded the same way the Snowball ships; ready to go! If you already have your own Pi, this is a cheaper option to get the same result. Simply plug in the sd card, boot up the unit, and follow the on screen instructions to turn your Pi into a Snowball!

• 7.5 MMXIV per card for domestic orders
• 10 MMVIV per card for international orders

Both units will perform the exact same and stake MMXIV and BALLS simultaneously. Orders on the cards will be filled the Monday following your order. We will send these out in batches every Monday, starting on January 19th. Turn your Pi into a Snowball by just switching out your currect card for our high quality, preloaded cards and custom hardware staking systems. The easy to use WebGUI will also be ready to go after a very quick initial setup

Just an FYI,

Seems Bittrex is having an issue with their Snowballs wallet, so the pool's payout may not be able to go out today.

Wallet out of sync it's stuck on block 157261 , jan 12 20:52:58 2015 .Dev what's up with that?

[chilly2k]

   Not sure if the slow block chain will work itself out.  Since the blocks split if they stake in less then 48 hours, and they can't stake for 8.8 days.  They will never split.  So now the spikes we see in the graph are all of the blocks that come eligible at the same time.  If the wallet had coin control we could divide up the blocks manually to make the staking a little smoother.  But you would get hit with the transaction fees.  Not sure if there is any setting to cause blocks to split automatically...

Same here

my wallet stuck also

need help with this

[thc4me]

I just noticed that my wallet is not syncing anymore. Last generated block received 8 hours ago.
Re-started wallet and now the sync icon just spins and spins (3+ hours)
Checked the blockchain site and it has not moved from block 157261.
Getpeerinfo also shows all peers stuck on 157261

Anyone know what is going on?

[dennislevy]

Block chain stuck for 8 hours now.
Also would be really handy to have coin control!
Cannot see how blocks are split or if recombined?
Also cannot see individual coin stacks weight.
Do the blocks keep getting smaller and smaller?

Peace!

I want to know how long those balls will get to where I sent. A time appr. please. Since the last block was found 4 hours ago, that means at least 4 hours would be expected for a transaction completed?

I have been seeing an odd correlation between the Snowballs multipool payout and the blockchain seizing up. Just something I have been noticing the last couple times, but it looks like once the multipool pays out the blockchain just seems to stop for several hours. Got the mulitpool payout at 19:33 and it has 0 confirmations still.

If anyone has been watching nightly it has been happening pretty consistently....seems to resolve itself after about 10 hours though....sometimes shorter...

Ever since the 'change' in how the PoS system works the network has been acting a little wacky. I have just massive weight against the network weight (i.e. my wallets weight is above 650,000 and peaked at about 1,000,000) and do not seem to be staking as much as that might suggest.

Hope IGotSpots is monitoring everything and making sure we don't fork...Would be nice to get a little insight from the dev
