There is a problem with the blockchain, are the devs working on this?
There are a
few problems with the blockchain perhaps.
A few silly questions...
1) Why does the official block explorer have the network at block 3417 when the four extant pools have the block as follows:
http://pool.bzlcoin.org/site/mining : at block 3405
http://bzl.idcray.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=pool : at block 3405
http://blockmunch.club/site/mining : at block 3405
https://mpool.mooo.com/explorer/BZL : at block 1999 . (I remember having my wallet hang at this block too. It's synced to 3405 in my case now -- although not to 3417. )
Perhaps the answer ties in with the second main question:
2) In the network tab at the block explorer (http://explorer.bzlcoin.org/), why are connected nodes all listed as using protocol 71797 ? and version Satoshi1.1.0 ? Meanwhile, at the source in the version.h (
https://github.com/bzlcoin/bzlcoin/blob/master/src/version.h) it is 71717 ? Every network peer that I've seen seems to be using protocl 71717 (so where does one download the new protocol[?] because that is probably why there seem to be two separate blockchains to this coin -- the dev's/devs' chain and everyone elses').
2a) e.g. My getinfo starts with the following output:
"version" : "v1.0.0.0",
"protocolversion" : 71717,
"walletversion" : 60000,
I've downloaded the source on three different occasions (but I haven't purged anything in the folder where the config and wallet.dat file is stored and it's possibly falling back/devolving to the first version that I downloaded -- which may be the problem
not sure).
3) Is the dev going to update the announcement to remove Nosekefik (including the block explorer), Pool Friends and Umine (which don't seem to have pools for this coin at this point) from the list of pools
-- and also add Blockmunch to the list.
4) I've tried staking the meagre amount of this coin that I managed to mine but when I use getstakinginfo in the headless wallet staking always seems to output "false". Since I used a passphrase for my wallet, if I unlock it then after eight hours it should begin staking (
). If the BZL amount is less than 1 -- currently the situation with my small-potatoes-position -- would that be a problem (I'm kind of stumped on that situation).
5) Do mined blocks and POS blocks alternate in some manner? I.e. is there any preconfigured pattern to how new blocks are generated? I'm somewhat of a neophyte but interested in the code... it would be especially cool if someone more familiar with the codebase would point out the part of the code which would specifies this.
Thanks in advance for any response.
Yes, we were making some adjustments, so the explorer was out.
We made a fork in block 3389, so you should see 2 protocols until everyone moves to the new chain.
POS, gives you 6% per year, is not every moment that will generate blocks, currently only 30% of the blocks will be Pos.
