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

[malafaya]

Hi, avariahb.

 Can you now tell if the transaction apparently wasn't even broadcast or if it was just a wallet refresh issue (check the transaction date, if it approximately matches the time you sent it or the time you restarted the wallet)?

Yeah, it's just a wallet refreshment problem.

For the skaking I won a block on 26/2 which is well pass in the available balance. But the next day it became an orphaned block and since then they all went into an orphaned block on the same date.
The amount of orphan blocks also varies strangely, see the image below.

It looks to me that you were on a fork. All your stakes seem to derive from your first (rejected) stake, hence all invalid after it catches up. Did you lose connection during those stakes?
Restart the wallet with the -zapwallettxes=2  switch (or go to Tools >> Wallet Repair >> Recover Transactions 2) to clean up those orphans and invalid stakes.
Also add another node to keep it more stable (the alpha currently connects automatically just to one "safe" node), e.g. 87.98.243.61 .

Bullion News Update: 05/03/18

Bullion Participation Nodes (BPN)
Progress continues on the full release of Vault 3.0, including the Bullion Participation Nodes (BPN aka masternodes) feature. At the same time we are receiving good feedback from the Bullion community regarding bugs or errors. Rest assured the team is working extremely hard to resolve all issues found within this alpha release to ensure a slick and smooth user experience. You can expect further news regarding the release of the BPN shortly - keep your eyes peeled for the announcement!

Improved Orphan Rate
We are delighted to see end users enjoying the benefits of the feature included into Vault 3.0 which has managed to reduce the orphan rate from roughly 5% to 3%. This 40% improvement will bring more stability to the network and deliver a more optimal staking experience.

Cryptopia Logo Update
We are delighted to see Cryptopia have updated the Bullion logo across their entire exchange now. Our new branding is cleaner, more modern and will be well represented in the new Bullion website, which is currently under development. A request has already been sent out to coinmarketcap.com to update the Bullion logo - we understand it can take time for an admin to correct this, however it should be updated shortly.

this is very good news, and cbx seems to be holding well at the moment.hope the BPN arrives soon before some lose hope and give up and give in to the btc greed which seems to be recovering, good job BULLIONAIRES.

[Captain Crypto Pants]

Looks like the BTC Universe is having another sell off this week. And for the life of me I cannot understand why anyone would sell their Bullion at these prices! What an incredible buyers market we have going on right now. I only hope it lasts until Friday when I get paid because I am out of fun money from a little buying spree on Cryptopia!

BTW: now that I have popped up above 225 Bullion I am getting 1 to 4 stake rewards a day.

Thank you for consolidating the news and posting this!

I like the new logo&name. Why isn't the ticker also changed to (for example) XBU?

Roadmap 2018 Development Update!

As you can see with the mysterious "Protocol 70010" in the current live nodes below, we are focused now on adding BPN masternodes to the new codebase CBX Vault!

I still cannot provide a delivery date for BPN and subsequent hardfork that will finalize the addition of masternodes to Bullion, unfortunately, but be assured this date will be provided as soon as I have a probable date.  Also, we are in the process of adding the promised convenient CBX staking/network metrics, directly in the GUI.

In the meantime, the other part of the Bullion team is contacting and notifying all web agents about the new "Bullion" name and logo: last two were the coin explorer and coinmarketcap.com (we are still waiting for CMC to update CBX however).

Hi, FiniteRed.

Yes, there surely can be one (you probably want a 64-bit build). We'll publish a note here when it's available.

Perfect ready and waiting to test it

FR

Still with same codebase as previously posted Windows alpha 2, here is the 64 bit Linux Vault: http://node.alex4j.cryptobullion.io/v30/bullion-qt64

Looks like there a number of dependency issues running on a clean/patched install of Ubuntu, detailed below (along with the "quick" fixes) - would be good to publish an official breakdown of what you need to install to get up and running...

Code:

error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options.so.1.58.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

-> sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
(overkill I feel)

Code:

error while loading shared libraries: libqrencode.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

-> sudo apt-get install libqrencode3

Code:

error while loading shared libraries: libdb_cxx-4.8.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

-> sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
-> sudo apt-get update
-> sudo apt-get install -y libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
(this is a gross fix!)

Thanks for the info.
It's true we still haven't looked into the shared dependencies issue in Linux, but it will surely be looked into.

Hi , vonpass are the wallet version 3.0 still in testing . Or it’s live now. Thanks , and 70010 are testing masternode ?

Yes, Protocol 70010 nodes are actual nodes testing the BPN Vault build.

New Vault 2.4.4 Vault released!

In the past few days, the CBX network has experienced a strong and unwanted fork, which ended up being also propagated by a few nodes. For this reason, here is new version 2.4.4 of the old codebase Vault; this new version deals with this ongoing fork, with a few added checkpoints.

To make sure you are on the right fork, please check your Vault's block height vs. CryptoIDs: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/cbx/#; any lasting block height difference with your live Vault could point to your Vault being on the wrong fork.

Here is the download link to the 2.4.4 Vault: https://github.com/cryptogenicbonds/CryptoBullion-CBX/releases/tag/2.4.4

Here is the link to the V2 bootstrap file; if you have been stuck on the fork, it may be necessary to reload it: http://node.alex4j.cryptobullion.io/bootstrap.zip

New codebase Vault 3 is better equipped to deal with these situations, so these fork issues should be very very rare occurence, of not completely non-existant, in the near future.

[RexRich]

Anyone having problems with Vault 3.0 Alpha 2 ?  Been running mine for two weeks but it has since stopped synchronizing

and is stuck on block 2,316,077 (roughly 3 days behind).

[VonSpass]

Roadmap 2018 status report!

We have updated the new codebase Vault 3 alpha 2 as well, to "alpha 3". This updated Vault has a few tweaks that bring us closer to final version, with updated PoW signature verification and staking; I recommend those who have installed alpha 2, to now install this one. This alpha 3 also has the same new checkpoints of Vault 2.4.4 that avoid the fork we have experienced a few days ago.

Do you have any peers connected? Does restarting Vault fix the problem?
If you would care to share your debug.log file (in the same dir as your wallet.dat) that would be awesome help.

Yes, connected to 9 peers. Tried restarting numerous times.

debug says "ERROR: mempool transaction missing input"  Also, lower left of vault notes "No block source available..."

Powering down laptop before CBX closes the issue perhaps?

BTW, I am running Vault 2.4.4 on a separate laptop with no problems.

[BitcoinCharlie]

So, if I'm still running 2.4.3 am I completely wasting my time?

[cmsi]

I like many aspects of this coin, in particular the very low supply. But the daily volume is like $10...
What are the projections? Is this going to change?

[dlipford370]

$10 at least.

[VonSpass]

So, if I'm still running 2.4.3 am I completely wasting my time?

You're not wasting your time if your 2.4.3 is on the right chain.

We compiled 2.4.4 to help with the fork issue we experienced last weekend; it's not a mandatory update.

I like many aspects of this coin, in particular the very low supply. But the daily volume is like $10...
What are the projections? Is this going to change?

Of course we want this tiny daily volume to change; in fact, we think that our current BPN approach, along with listing at Coinbook.com put CBX on path for explosive price growth! Essentially the choice people have today is, either buy an already expensive coin/token with tons of volume hoping that it will double in value this year, or, buy a coin like CBX which is still cheap and looks promising.
