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

[crypto4jan]

Hoping to have the new clients out today for Windows. I'll worry about Mac once I know the fork works properly

THERE WILL NO LONGER BE A COIN SWAP, BUT A CLIENT UPDATE WILL BE MANDATORY

We managed to fix what needed fixing in a more interesting way. More details later. Just update clients, no need to move coins

Great work I move my BALLS to the new client if it is ready.
What are the changes?
Is the POS still 1000% and once in the 8.8 days?

Great! If the coin proves to bounce back, I personally will donate a little something to you. Much deserved.

Appreciate that, but the best way to support everything is to grab an address on GorillaStake. Make me work for your money, don't give it away for free

How many BALLS are in circulation so far ?

Significant changes in the BALLS 2.0.1 Two Stage Hard Fork:

• Protocol has been switched back
• Blocks will return to their previous speed

• Protocol switch occurs at 1424995200
• • 02/27/2015 @ 12:00am (UTC)

Staking Changes

• Staking will return to its previous frequency
• Stake rewards have been updated to be more interesting
• • Now based on block number in a specific, fixed range
• A few features or changes have been cut to prevent a coin swap to a new chain
• Stake rewards start fluctuating at Block 200,000

Stake Reward Structure in its entirety is as follows:

Code:

int64 GetProofOfStakeRewardYear(int nHeight) {
    static int64 nBaseCoinYear = 5000 * CENT;
    static int64 nMaxPercent = 20000;
    static int64 nReward = 0;

    if (nHeight <= 80000)
        return nBaseCoinYear;

    if (nHeight <= 85000)
        return nBaseCoinYear + ((nHeight - 80000) * CENT);

    if (nHeight <= 94000)
        return (nBaseCoinYear * 2) - ((nHeight - 85000) * CENT);
    
    if (nHeight < 200000) {
        return 1000 * CENT;
    } else {
        nReward = (nHeight % nMaxPercent);
        if (nReward == 0)
            nReward = nMaxPercent;
	printf("Stake percent on block %d is %d\n", nHeight, nReward);
        return nReward * CENT;
    }
}

             

All files changed in 2.0.1 are labeled as such on Github. This is how we will document which version which file changed in

How many BALLS are in circulation so far ?

93 million. Should be around 4-5k


MARKET CAP is only $16k

Lovely!!Will DL in a few. Goodness you are fast

[iGotSpots]

The opposite of fast, actually. Believe it or not, we've been breaking BALLS many times trying to come up with a creative fix. I'm happy with this, but it's not fast by any means, it's well over a month of discussions and testing

When I become quiet in a coin's thread is when we are working very hard on something for that coin

You've got my support 100% of the way!! Thanks for the dedication

[fastaslighting]

I think this coin and the other 2 coins will be in the top 50 coins list by next year maybe soon people were just waiting on this one to get the fix were the blockchain catches up and the stake was right they were worried the coin was broken because of the slow blockchain if this update fixed that then it will correct coin price upward drasticly.

Oh, you mean like its doing right now?

If any of you have problems, I'll be in IRC all day today. I recommend using Hexchat and just parking a name in the channel to keep up to date with discussions and ideas, but if you want a quick solution, you can use the web interface here:
