Important Announcement
The Issue and solutionFreicoin has this weird two tier block reward system. A thing known as "Initial Subsidy" and "Perpetual Subsidy". They designed it in a way that after a certain point in time (when EQ_HEIGHT was reached) people would stop generating the initial subsidy and just get a perpetual one. I of-course removed all this.
One thing I did not realize was that the tax was sent to multiple addresses in an interesting way. To put simply the network sent X amount of tax to one address then every so often changed the address to the next one in the list. But when EQ_HEIGHT was reached the network did not know where to send it, their was no loop.
So Mike270 told me to add two characters and basically now the tax rotates between the four addresses and loops without stopping and causing this issue. Now I just need to check the tax gets sent using a block explorer.
Updated Source-codehttps://github.com/Sphere2013/GlobeCryptoHas it been fixedSo we think it has solved the problem. Blocks are getting generated again but we just need to make sure that the tax is getting sent to the correct address. To do this we need the block explorer to be updated (PM sent to the block explorer OP) but the signs do look promising
.
Thank youI just want to really thank Mike270 who instantly found the problem and created the current solution and Ocminer who very quickly updated the pool to test out the new version of Globe.
Where now ?
Assuming everything is OK, I will get new compiled versions of Globe out ASAP within 24 hours, I hope. Your Globes that you hold now will not be affected. You just simply need to update your wallet and can resume your lifes as normal
.
In the meantime if you wish to start using Globe straight away or are responsible for some major Globe infrastructure e.g. Exchange, Pool etc you can compile the new version of Globe straight from the updated source-code linked above.
If your a Globe OP of an exchange or pool please PM me when you update to the new version so I know not to contact you again. Again ! I repeat, If you operate an exchange or pool and have updated to the new wallet tell me that you have updated to Globe 0.4 and make sure you have more than 161280 blocks present. This will prevent any confusion ! Thanks for all your support and hopefully this patch will work
