If I can help in some way, I can be of service. I can run some nodes for you guys at cost and manage them but I would want to be paid upfront each month the cost of running however many nodes you want. VPS nodes are cheap, maybe you could do 5-10 nodes at $5-10 each a month. I also have access to a reliable seed node service for $92 a year if you would like and can put you in touch, maybe he can give you better rates.

I don't really want to be the person pushing out the commit to ADT because I am having enough trouble as it is with my own project. Take a look at HoboNickels, Blackcoin, Asiacoin, Skynet, if you cross all code against each other, there is a base structure to every coin and the differences aren't that big. I really think the main problem is that the wallet needs a locktime and a check to stop it from Staking before downloading all the Blocks. The bulk of what you would need to change is only in about 10 files in the src folder and mainly just the main.cpp, main.h, and all the mining files.

To my knowledge, you don't need a hardfork if you want to change the time difference for the timeoffset, Blackcoin has 10 minutes to the past and future, other coins have 2 hours. If you have a 2 hour offset, you create orphan blocks as you stake and then have them ripped away when you finish downloading the final blocks.

Check out Github for Windows, great for cross referencing sourcecode.

What is it that you want for the prefrences? like min/max Stake age, reward per year, did you still want to change the reward payouts? Are we still waiting on Mullick?

@Crestington

HBN seems like a big difference but i can take a shot as it shouldnt need a hard fork

This is beginning to look like a big joke. if you do not have time why do you keep holding on to it?  anything is better than nothing. And right now it's nothing. A total lack of respect towards all the people in here. Even if your intentions might be for the good. Still this is not ok.

Not really i mainly ran a Pool for HBN when it first launched

And yes its possible that its a a PoW issue since PoW isnt technically used at all in ADT and since cgb favours PoW its not a good combination

i really have no idea how to fix the syncing issue to be quite honest. The best i can do is attempt to port ADT to another coin's source. So if  anyone has some suggestions on a rock solid, fast PoS time coin plz tell.

About the Staking changes. I've never done anything like it. But as always i can try and give it a shot using another hard fork from another coin as a comparison. So again ideas please

Ahmed

adt was made from cgb and that was meant to be the most stable coin at the time is it possable that somthing went wrong when it was made  ?

Not at all.

The coin was coded in the following Stages:

1) Batch Script Replacing all References of CGB with ADTv2
2) Set Network Parameters. (PchMessageStart, Base58(Addresss) Prefixes, Block and Stake Times and Block Reward Schedules)
3) Hash The genesis block
4) Set Checkpoints.
5) Launch.

Ok so then maybe it is a case that the POW is too low compared to CGB, there may have been bugs in the code that you were not aware of when you made the copy.

Did you also change the retarget times? CGB Blockchain favors POW over POS so a Block is always chosen for POW first, however ADT has very low POW reward.

Edit: Oh yeah, here is a test coin I am using https://github.com/Crestington/test3

I thought you helped Tranz with HoboNickels earlier on?

Look at HoboNickels for what you need for changes if you want to keep POW, Blackcoin if you want POS only, check both and cross reference them accross each other, Diamondcoin is also a decent example you can use. If you are changing Staking times, I believe Feathercoin changed their Stake time and difficulty a few months ago as well. Blackcoin has some of the best code to use but HoboNickels has the best wallet layout and functions (except that Blackcoin has "Addredeemscript" which is a big piece in Multi-Signature and HoboNickels does not.

For Proof of Stake you should have multiple wallet control so you can load different wallets, otherwise you have to close your wallet in order to load a different wallet and it makes for easier partitioning of your funds. Coin Control is needed so you can manage your blocks of coins for Staking, if you have a massive amount of transactions in your Wallet, it will slow down the GUI from all the small inputs trying to hash a new block and reduces your overall Stake reward since many coins will never Stake. Without Coin Control, you cannot effectively combine all your small coin inputs into larger ones without sending all your coins to a new wallet or addresses in large chunks and unless you really understand where your inputs are combining, you may be taking from the same inputs you are trying to combine.

I suggest talking to "old c coder" if you would like pay him for some coding tips, I've asked him on a number of occasions to review code for me and he's spot on every time but I guess 30 years experience in coding helps somewhat. He doesn't work much with Proof of Stake but he has alof of knowledge of c/c++ coding and building in Windows.

If you want, I have some relatively decent POW/POS sourcecode to for you to work with and currently working on putting an implementation of HoboNickels features into it, it's much harder to create a successful hardfork than to create a new Blockchain. I'm not suggesting creating a new coin in such a respect, just that it's easier to test in a closed atmosphere and be sure it isn't going to affect the Main Chain and works. The soucecode I am using is incomplete though and it's based on communitycoin and doesn't have proper coin control. It does have the address ban feature in it which is more useful in that you could modify it as a further security check.
