Bullion (CBX) 'the Digital Precious Metal' | 2019 Roadmap published

It's connected to a few peers and syncing now, going to take a few hours, I think it started from scratch, says 7~6 years. I'll let it run and then split whatever coins I have.

What other exchanges have it now? Maybe try to get it listed on txbit or something.

That's the problem, it's only on Yobit(So that's a no-go) and CREX24 and I can't trade there being from the US. Maybe Freiexchange, it seems to have a bunch of similar coins from around that time, like Hobonickles and Philosopherstone, wish both of those would make a bit of a comeback as well.

Launching latest wallet version 3.0.1 and going to try and stake a few, I have less than 500 CBX I think.

That's plenty, I was getting consistent stakes with 100, but I currently have mine split 1200 and 600 and 600 or so.

Nice. I've split around 5000 into 100's hopefully this will keep things moving. One of the problems was that a staked input would not be eligible to stake again until after 25 confirmations.

Not sure if any of those exchanges have a working wallet so be very careful sending funds to and from!

I think the only saving grace for CBX now would be for elambert to fully hand the reins over to someone with an interest on taking this old relic forward.

I think the staking time is about 1 hour, or that's what the spec says.

elambert did sort of hand it over to Alex4J, who made a couple of updates but then disappeared for unknown reasons (there was talk he went on vacation back then or did another coin, but nothing confirmed), then it was supposed to go to something called Aptum but that got cancelled too.

Then of course there was the Spark ICO but everyone got refunded already.

There are a few devs out there who can either take care of maintenance or move this forward. As much as it pains me to suggest this, perhaps a new team and/or a swap is needed? or fork? (if there is a swap, it can be through an exchange or something similar that lasts several months, and announced as many places as possible.) Or there could be a future snapshot of coin balances and then a switch to the new network, both also clearly announced in advance, in order to retain the original addresses.

This coin skipped the masternode phase, or that was the last thing that never got implemented.

My wallet is connected to 6 peers and is still about 1 year away.

Do we want other devs to take a look at this?

Instead of splitting your coins into smaller wallet addresses, you can always  use the command

Code:

reservebalance true 999999

Where 999999 is a smaller fraction of your balance (the rest will stake, but not the part you specify).

Code:

reservebalance true 999999

Where 999999 is a smaller fraction of your balance (the rest will stake, but not the part you specify).

reservebalance is used for not staking. If you put that number 999999 or any number more than the coins you have, your wallet will not stake at all. This is used for when you know you want to send some coins in the near future so nothing is staking while you are preparing the transaction (usually, wait an hour or so after you issue the command.) Or you have a certain amount reserved that will not stake, so you can spend it anytime without waiting for any stakes to mature. You'll always have the amount in reserve available.

For most people, this is not very useful as you want to stake as much as you can anyway.

Also, you don't need to split into different addresses, you can split into the same address. I've done this with other coins that had this feature and it works well.

Anyway, my wallet is sync'd and staked a couple of times already. I split it into parts of about 100 CBX each. It should help stake for awhile. Got 0.04 CBX per stake.

Correct.

Incorrect.

What I actually said was:

The smaller fraction of your balance.  Clearly no one has 999,999 CBX, so I could as easily said 100, but I have a feeling you would have stumbled on that number also.

0.044254 CBX is what the block size reward is at this point (and has been since the PoW phase was phased out when the total supply neared (but didn't quite reach) 1M CGB as it was know at that time.).

Waiting to sync Bullion Vault version v3.0.1.0-3018c01 (64-bit)


I have no clue if there was a swap or what's going on, after syncing I'll unlock and try to help move the chain.


Hope this helps.


Seems to be working, I'm on the road for awhile so I'll keep it running when I can.

Once I get settled I'll try to get something static up and running.

Hello friends

Looks like CBX has hung itself again, from lack of open wallets?

Can someone restart the chain please? Ill leave my wallet open and in staking mode

My last staked block was about 100 blocks ago, so it was working until that time. I'll keep my wallet open.

[drays]

Ok, will try to kick the chain once again... Will be ready most probably by tomorrow - I'll have to sync first.

[drays]

UPDATE: it turns out situation is quite different now... The chain is not stuck, it is forked. One fork is stuck at block 3882726, the other fork is at 3891268 and seems to be moving forward.
All my wallets are on the stuck fork, and the explorer is also on the fork stuck at 3882726.

See the excerpt from getpeerinfo result:

So I wont be pushing the stuck fork now, as it makes little sense. Will resync my wallets to try and get to the longest fork.
Someone should probably contact CrtyptoID explorer owner to resync too.

Not sure which fork is CREX24 on.

[Timelord2067]

My block chain count is up to block 3891970 which arrived in the last few minutes, so I guess my block-chain is on the forked chain.

So, I guess the question that needs to be asked is:  If we are all on the same block-chain, does it really matter?

[Dabs]

I'm on latest one.

getblockcount
3892058

15 connections.

Staked a few blocks, so looks good to me on my end.

Well, if we all sync to the longest chain (the one you and Dabs are on), fork wont matter anymore.

The problem is - the explorer (https://chainz.cryptoid.info/cbx/#) is on the wrong fork now. It should be contacted regarding the matter.

Also, someone should confirm if CREX24 is on the right chain.

cryptoid has gone onto the "wrong" fork with a few other coins.  From recollection sexcoin was one of them.  They corrected the issue once contacted, so there shouldn't be an issue there.

Hopefully Crex24 have a dev support hotline - do we know who it was that arranged for Bullion to be listed on their exchange?

I'm now at block 3892460 found a minute ago.

[drays]

Ok, I have successfully re-synced to the longest (moving) chain, and now can confirm CREX24 is on right chain too, as my test withdrawal ended up in my wallet

The only remaining problem now is the stuck explorer. Did anyone contact CrypoID regarding the issue?

[dexterw1n]

Well. Does anyone have some nodes I could add to my conf? I am on the chain on the explorer...trying to rebuild and I can't get any connections.

EDIT: Well, it started getting connections...and I'm back on the explorer blockchain...I dunno I guess I'm just forked...in more ways than one. Unless the explorer is on the correct chain again, but from looking at the difficulty I don't think it is. I have 13 to 14 connections but 3 of them are from 3 of my wallets on different pc's.

[ReAzzurro]

Anyone interested to buy some bullion from me? I can't trade it anywhere, since I live in Europe and Crex24 is closed for people in Europe...

According the Crex, https://crex24.com/exchange/CBX-BTC the spread is between a low of 82 satoshi (buy) and 145 satoshi (sell).

Half way between is about 115 satoshi - How many do you have?

I can take 1,000 CBX now at 115 satoshi ( i.e. BTC 0.00115000 ) if you would like to do a trade, my wallet address is: 5TGE7UY8aVsLdUvayyTMFPbcEYP8mms6we

You're welcome to organise an Escrow if you feel the need.

I check into the forum a couple of times a day and have just sync'ed the CBX block chain and have that wallet open at the moment, so I should see your TX when it arrives.

Hope we can do business.
