Topic: [ANN] FlappyCoin - PoS Released - 6/29 - Need Counterparty Fork - 4btc - page 14. (Read 41431 times)

I don't think it would have a significant effect at the moment, aside from coins that can't push the price down.

We're set to stake indefinitely, so those coins will be recovered, in a sense.

It would certainly be an interesting thing to watch the effect of burning that amount on the coin would have!

Flapped around your websites.  Interesting stuff.  Any ETA for Hybrid?  Would most NXT users be aware of Stormwind?  Storm wind sounds risky for a Flappy Bird but perhaps I can dodge the elements.  Make sure to pour out some bird seed for my dead FLAPS. 

I personally do no have a problem with you burning coins, in fact with our upcoming Flapparty fork, there will be a burn period as well. I'm all for experimentation and innovation, so I say go for it.

Our future plans do include a massive user base (100 million+) with the Jalapeno Platform, and I'm sure that a USD/FLAP market will inevitably be established just by sheer necessity.

Any thoughts from the rest of the community?

Hello Flap heroes,

Have been thinking about using FlappyCoin to test on the Internet of Coins platform because it is a small cryptocurrency. However, I'd like to know if you guys have any plans to tie Flaps to some kind of real-world value, or that you'd rather let it float like Bitcoin/Gold. At the moment I hold several hundred million Flaps and I think it may be an interesting experiment to burn these, and thus migrate them to other blockchains as soon as the hybrid assets are working on the Internet of Coins platform.

Just want to know how you feel about this though, since burning a load of coins is sometimes a sensitive issue. I remember lots of Bitcoiners getting angry when BTC's were burned by CounterParty developers.

Best regards,

So when will the wallet release be available? And most important question, do I have to send my one year un-moved wallet coins to me again or I could simply benefit the long time block confirmations?

Nice work fella

ok. i fixed the issue where you could stake negative. if you would stake negative (stake an input < 1) then it will just give you a reward of 0 instead. (better than losing coins) i tried to make it give a positive amount but it would exceed the stake reward (which makes sense, and proves that check is working). so the solution was to get nothing.

this also actually prevents people from just sitting, staking, and not spending the coins for too long. (not the intended result but hey, it works).
reason why: every time you stake a tx it splits into two txs of half value and one gets the reward added to it. so eventually you will split in half and in half and in half and so on until the last split in half gets you a tx value of less than 1. when this happens your reward would be zero. prompting you to need to spend the coins because you wont passively earn off them anymore.

i would like some feedback on that unintended result.


so here is an update of what has been fixed:
miner doesnt get stuck anymore in an infinite update loop
miner doesnt wait 16 minutes in between attempting to stake, rather it waits 1 second before attempting to make a new stake. (as difficulty goes up it should approach the 1 minute block time again)
changed the PoS system slightly so make it less complicated (there was a function put in that was agreed does nothing to help the PoS system).
tuned down the CPU usage (direct result of the infinte loop fix)

still need to fix:
nonstandard transaction error (not really an error but if you look on the block explorer it gives that result)
another spam issue that was send in a PM to me but i forgot what it was exactly.

will do some wallet code cleanup after that as well. removing unused functions and simplifying some things i know need to be simplified

Thanks for your update Griffith.  Describing the nature of the errors is also appreciated.  Once the wallet allows a larger demographic of users to stake, I believe the wind will pick up and the flock will regain stability.

GO GO GADGET GRIFFITH!!!   

i dont.. i dont know what that means...

Sounds like you're on it like a car bonnet!

It's great to see this pariah getting much needed CPR. It looks like the force is strong with this one. That's usually a very good sign.

realized what was wrong with the miner and why it wasnt staking. so apperently in flappycoin the sleep() method is in seconds. in every other coin i have used sleep does milli seconds, sleep() in BTC is also milliseconds if you want a reference of what i mean by other coins. so i was telling it to sleep for 1000 (thinking that was 1000 milliseconds aka 1 second not 1000 seconds aka 16 minutes).

this meant that the timer which would check to recalc the time after 1 minute would get stuck doing this because it was trying every 16 minutes meaning every time the time updated it would just cause the cycle to restart. (if you want specifics with file and line numbers PM me).


so fixed that. right now im looking into the printing of the nonstandard transaction. also there is a bug where you can Stake a negative number of coins (meaning you lose coins). but this only happens if the tx you are using as your stake is < 1. so im fixing that right now.

new wallet very soon

Same here, three days passed after resending coins to a new wallet and nothing staking. I'm sure you guys will get it sorted tho

yeah i have looked into the problems you have posted and found that the miner gets stuck in certain scenarios. i will be working on that today

For those wanting to know if anyone has staked, I have staked 3 times since the release with all 3 not being accepted. The first stake was immediately upon upgrading to new version for 26 flap and the other two for less than 0.3 flap I believe.

Ever since then with the wallet running 24/7 sucking up my power and wasting it I have had no new additional stakes.

The wallet is currently running on a separate laptop so unfortunately cannot screenshot the transactions at this time.

Hey guys, lets keep calm. Griffith is looking at a solution.

I'm traveling for another 3 weeks and then heading to San Francisco in anticipation of Jalapeno Games getting into Boost.VC.

For those that don't know about Jalapeno Games, check it out. http://www.angel.co/jalapeno-games . We plan on using Flappycoin and bitcoin for our Jalapeno Platform and its integration of cryptos into mobile games and apps. So, sorry to burst any bubbles but I'm not going anywhere and FlappyCoin isn't going anywhere.

And trust me, i've got some serious tricks up my sleeve that are going to propel us to the top of crypto world. Just. Wait.

One or two birds receive most of the FLAP stakes.  Not concerned.  The rest of the flock flies low, without reward, and some start dropping off.  Other birds see the sickness and stay far away.  See charts and blockchain.
Empower the flock.  Show love for a flapper.  Change the sky forever.  I see a future with no pipes. 

dont panic, you won't die if you cant stake (and flappy too).
if there is a problem, they will fix it. maybe it needs sometime and menlatin is away as he said.

so try what you can and report problems, but keep calm

i cant try because i have only one wallet.

but i want to try send/receive, if someone wants to help me - i will send 1 million to a given address, then please send back 90%... 

My first test's results did not stake.  My second test will take weight into consideration.  I should have results in a few days.

Flying close to the ground right now.  If users can't stake and/or devs can't help with suggested Q&A then desirability goes down, down, down.  Nobody wants a broken coin when there appears to be little to no concern from devs about the outstanding network issues.

[EDIT] FLAP FLAP F...owwwww...my wing is broken...HELP!
