[ANN] FlappyCoin - PoS Released - 6/29 - Need Counterparty Fork - 4btc

[Doom4535]

Opened the Flap wallet and it shows as synced now on block 702500.

thats the block all 4 of the wallets i am running are on

Sounds like that is the main chain then?  I'm on 702518, which is about right with the time that has passed...  How many people are having client issues (and do we know why the block explorer is behind?)?

My wallet won't sync. Is the problem solved or not?

I'm guessing your question is related to one I had a few pages back.

So, according to this (https://chainz.cryptoid.info/flap/#) at the time of posting we're at block 700442 and that is supported by my peer connections.  My wallet says that it is on block 700442, yet still thinks it is 13 hours behind?  How do we counter the slow network when there may be long periods of time when no blocks were created (which I'm assuming causes the wallets to think they are behind?)?

no, its not because they think they are behind. the code of a wallet doesnt actually care about the last block time. the gui just shows the behind message if the last block was over 2 hours ago for the user to see the chain has stopped. people need to just turn on staking in their wallets and the chain moves. no one has staking on, then the chain wont move.

So, if there has been a two hour delay since the last block was process, you'll probably get that message.  Good news is, the network is smoothing out so that these delays should disappear.

EDIT: does not work, forget it...
when gen=1 is set, it does not stake. getgenerate tells true, but i have to write setgenerate true again in the debug console.
then it immediatly stake, when there are enough connections.

maybe the problem is when it starts - there are no connections and it doesnt try it again a bit later!
so a simple delay of 1 minute would solve this or even better an automatic retry.


warning/info:
i restartet the wallet several times, and forgot to enable staking "setgenerate true", because the default is false.

To fix this, create or edit the file "flappycoin.conf" where the wallet.dat resides and put

Code:

gen=1

in it.
Now it automatically start staking (proof with "getgenerate" in the console)

I would like to claim the CounterParty Bounty!

found slight error on FLAP wallet. not a scary huge update but the next update will fix:

-the fact that mining is set to false by default
-block mining spacing that makes it impossible to mine a block more often than every 30 seconds
-a fix that makes it impossible to stake a negative amount after block 710,000 because right now if you stake less than 0.02 FLAP in a block you get a negative amount that is between -0.001 and -0.000001 FLAP. (so negligible losses) but it still shouldnt happen.

please also check this (from my previous post):

then it immediatly stake, when there are enough connections.

maybe the problem is when it starts - there are no connections and it doesnt try it again!
a simple delay of 1 minute would solve this or even better an automatic retry (check connections every x minutes).

no. thats not how getarg works.

its because the -command that would be fed in if you were to run it from command line are not overridden by .conf file settings. so the default -gen=0 via command line is not overridden by the config gen=1

bitcoin.cpp line 120 is a comment on this

if that is not clear also util.cpp line 1116 which is inside the ReadConfigFile function. im kinda sad i knew this without looking anything else up besides the line number....

Can anybody post any new "addnode=" for flappycoin.conf ?
I have only 2 active connections for last three days since I've started my wallet again

hold off on that until i do the one with the fixing minting and the negative stake fix (should be tonight)

Do any of you know of a good way to release coins that seemed to be stuck trying to stake a block that wasn't accepted by the network?  I tried -rescan and that didn't work, at the moment I'm in the processes of re-downloading the blockchain.

You have to wait until someone else stakes and creates new blocks I believe. Mine have been stuck staking for roughly 12 hours now, just waiting on others to stake to free mine.

to create a steady block-flow, i wrote a tiny script that send coins to a other wallet every 30 minutes.
i will do this 3 days, then at least every halve hour there should be a block generated.

i had this idea this morning, better would have been 3 days ago

from time to time: sorry for my english

you still need a tx to stake. just because you send doesnt mean a block is made. thats not how PoS works. you will just have backed up transactions.

i know but when a new block is generated (lets say in 5 hours) and i did 10 transactions in the mean time - in 3 days i can generate 10 blocks or am i wrong?

[Doom4535]

Do you know if we need to backup or wallet after every time we stake or not (does the stake works by 'sending' the coins?)?

ohh i see what you mean. well. if you sent 10 trasnactions...  yes, you should be able to generate 10 blocks off those 10 transactions. but say 1 transaction has 10 inputs, then you will still only get 1 block from that transaction even though it was 10 inputs

Do you know if we need to backup or wallet after every time we stake or not (does the stake works by 'sending' the coins?)?

a stake is just a different kind of transaction, you should ALWAYS have a backup of your wallet.dat on an external harddrive or a flashdrive. but you do not need to do this after every stake



also sorry guys. i just got my internet back. it had been out for like 16 hours. really sucked

[Griffith]

i have a fix so the values wont go negative anymore. also it removed the 50 FLAP per POS block maximum... also the staking is set to true by default. you will NEED to update to the newest version... menlatin will announce the details later

I guess let us know when it is officially available from github
