If we can get the chain going again, I can get at least 2 more nodes up.
This chain needs staking nodes, not just regular ones. It is worth to have some coins on those nodes, preferably divides into several inputs. I'll try to move the chain today. |

I suppose you had no luck there. I believe your suggestion is mostly right: after 6 hours, all wallets consider themselves out-of-sync, at least when restarted. I also made a similar hack to try to move things around but unfortunately this time none of my current coin chunks meet the necessary criteria to stake: being still for 1 hour is not enough, although in practice it usually is. There is a flag called "stake-modifier". Your chunks can only stake if there is a block with this flag at least an hour in the future since your chunk was last moved/staked. And this is exactly my problem: most of my chunks are within an hour of that last block, so not eligible at all. I have 2 other chunks that are older than the current last block, just over an hour, but unfortunately the last 2 blocks in the chain (those over an hour for me) do not have the necessary "stake-modifier" flag so I cannot make them stake. The solution seems to be someone with eligible chunks to try to stake hacking the wallet code and bypassing that 6-hour sync limit.. |

It took too long to load/unload the wallet yesterday (probably my VPS is way too slow/cheap, but the wallet somehow takes up to 2 hours to load on 1GB RAM Ubuntu VPS, and around the same time to unload properly (until bullion-shutoff process disappears), so I gust gave up and went to sleep  Turning it on now. Hope it'll work like it did last time... EDIT: it did work - the chain moves forward now! |

Just a follow up in case it could be useful for somebody: it turns out the wallet slow loading/unloading is indeed due to the lack of RAM and using the swap space. I upgraded to 2GB RAM VPS, and the wallet loading/unloading there is 100x (if not 1000x) faster. So the recommended minimum RAM for Bullion wallet should be around 2GB.

Thanks for the update, if you're out of pocket at all for the VPS (assuming it was online of course) then I for one don't mind helping you out with a few dollars. Will this be an on going solution, or a one off fix?

The problem seems to be a current insufficient of staking chunks. More CBX would need to stake in order to stabilize the network. |

I'm not able to leave my wallet open to enable staking 24/7 for a variety of reasons. It may have to a roster system whereby people undertake to commit to leaving their wallets open and staking a couple of days a week and hopefully there will be some sort of overlap of staking wallets to keep the block-chain moving. |

I have my issues straightened out, I am going to get another staking node going at work, the laptop there is on 24/7 and hardly ever used and I'm the guy that does any work on it if needed. I have about 2500 CBX, going to send 500 to it to get things going. And I'll make sure and open port 7695.

Can you tell me what will be your ROI if you implement this setup ? 2500 CBX will cost around 168$ at current price level. If you can show me your total investment and the profit rates, i would also be interesting in setting this up. |

Hahaha, I'm not even thinking about ROI, I got into things at the wrong time, I'm down around 10k USD lol so I just want this coin to not die and hopefully get resurrected. Not thinking about profits only HODL. |

Not thinking about profits only HODL. You must have bought at the high prices. I am asking from the perspective of a new investor in this project. Is it worth investing in it at this moment ? If the team is alive and following the roadmap, things will recover for sure. |

I wish there was a way to reconcile the CBX lost at Cryptsy and Cryptopia, and really YoBit, they can't be trusted, that along with the low supply and there not really being any reliable exchanges really don't bode well for me, but, I got the btc to purchase this for cheap so whatever, at the time it was just something to play around with, now, lol hindsight is 20/20.
I wish I kept the hdd that the motor went out in that had 50 btc on it, but I have no idea, that was 2009 right after some family deaths, so I don't remember half that time, mind was in a bad place, could have bought 10000 btc at one time, but I spent the money it on drugs...oh well lol. Mined 30000000 doge the first 2 days it came out, ended up just throwing that away, it was a meme...lol but yeah I'm just trying to have fun now.

Well, there's no one running it currently, I haven't seen Elambert on the Telegram channel since 2018 or 2017. So it's just been working, but I had computer trouble lately and my node went down which helped stop the chain, thankfully drays got it started again. I now have 2 nodes on different Ip's and another just staking on the same network as my main node. I dunno, just hope something happens lol

Right now the block time is at almost 4 hours, if it gets to 6 the chain will get stuck again, hopefully, a few stakes happen soon.

I would say this is more of a one off fix. Thanks for the offer; I don't need support for running a node. I actually run multiple nodes for few other old good coins, just to keep them running. In the most cases that is absolutely meaningless, but well, during this crypto journey I got somehow emotionally attached to few coins (that's a nonsense, I know, but anyway), so am running nodes just to make some [meaningless] contribution. Bullion is not one of those coins though, so I will just keep a snapshot ready to push it again if it gets stuck. More permanent solution could be if several members of this community make the small hack I described before, or better change the lockup period for their local wallets from 6 hours to something around 24-48 hours. That's an easy change, but needs to be done in the source code, with subsequent rebuilding of the wallet. For Linux it is trivial, but I guess most users here run Windows wallet, so would be useful if someone builds a Windows wallet with such change (I have never done that, so not familiar with procedure). Alternatively, if dexterw1n and other holders run 24/7 nodes, the problem will not appear again soon; and Bullion can sleep again, waiting for a brave man to pick it up and run again... I assume this coin needs only a maintainer and a marketer. It is the oldest crypto-gold chain, so it could use that theme without too much revolutionary development for a while. |

With pure staking coins, every wallet open and staking helps, especially without masternodes being implemented. So, welcome to the fold. |

A single amount in your wallet will only stake once per hour. If you use the 'custon change address' option in the send tab of the wallet and check the 'Split UTXO' box you can send a transaction to yourself and create multiple inputs.
The wallet will automatically split balances above 500 CBX when staking, but any amount lower than this will remain as one input.
If everyone could create multiple inputs of at least 100 CBX, this should help by allowing your wallet to stake multiple times per hour.

Mod note: Consecutive posts merged
Launching latest wallet version 3.0.1 and going to try and stake a few, I have less than 500 CBX I think.
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.
