He needed something to use to symbolize it, better than using things like religion saying that Sunny is the Jesus of PPC.

Search for Sunny Jesus result: Tongue

Stupid jokes aside, what are the plans in PPC future developments?
Sunny is publishing a nice log in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=114994.0;all

But what about us, the users? Roll Eyes

Can we get a bit more organized and start thinking about useful features that are not just eye candy crapp but something that actually adds value to PPC as a method of transferring value from point A to B and without the need for five nuclear power plants?

If you feel like, you can not come up with anything, think about stuff you dislike about BTC (bloated dat files, killing of small independent miners), VIsa, Mastercard, Dwolla, PayPal etc... and how to turn those nasty "features" to PPC advantages etc.

Please don't confuse lack of politeness with animosity.

You may feel a bit judged - but so do politicians in every functioning democratic society - so you're in good company. And yes - as a cryptocurrency developer you are a public figure.

To compare or even mention Sunny in the same sentence with politicians is a huge insult

It's probably some early investors lose interest or feel uncertain about the 0.3 protocol upgrade.

Not saying that you do it deliberately, but the "uncertainty" is a bit manufactured.

Well you are entitled to your opinion. I can only say that I believe I am doing the best work I can, in the most professional and responsible fashion in my opinion. And I am proud of the work I produced so far.

Somehow I feel that you have developed animosity toward me and ppcoin project, I honestly don't know what warranted it as I think I have always treated you professionally and with courtesy. As I have said before, why can't people here tolerate petty differences and be united in the cause of liberty? I hope in the future you would have more constructive contributions to ppcoin.

Best Regards,

Please don't confuse lack of politeness with animosity. I think you did the community a great service by implementing POS and showing ways to do it. By openly criticizing you for the few things which go wrong, I give you a chance to explain to the community why you do things a certain way. You may feel a bit judged - but so do politicians in every functioning democratic society - so you're in good company. And yes - as a cryptocurrency developer you are a public figure.

There is always a lack of transparent communication it seems on this forum and far too many Trollers and haters here, I think that it is hard to avoid feeling directly targeted when people point out flaws in code or ideas or implementation of such code or ideas especially if they coming from all angles and sources.... Not having a go at anyone in particular just saying that discussion is good and healthy and the fact that Sunny King is very active in posting on here is a true credit to himself and his project.... not one other coin do I see weekly updates for and this makes it nice to see a timeline of the dev process and general fairing of the PPC project.

I also think that Jutarul raises a number of good points and has asked really important questions in the past and we need more clever and interested and productive people like you in the community...

I'll finish on saying that I would vote for both of you in the next election should u decide to run... much better choice than Obama or the current coalition government we have here in the UK!! so get ur applications in... maybe u could run together then I wouldn't have to make a hard choice on my vote

anyways keep up the good work

Last I gathered from the forum it seems related to either 1) mining pool 2) services with large number of connections. So far it still evades me how to reproduce the issue despite of some attempts.

I restricted my pool to a small number of connections for a couple of weeks and it made no noticeable difference to the memory consumption so I think (2) is out. Are you keeping a cache of blocks or anything like that when a block is found via getwork?

The getwork block cache is actually existing bitcoin code and I didn't modify it. The cache is cleared every time a new best block is received on the block chain. I have looked at this code before and didn't find anything suspicious.

Code:

if (pindexPrev != pindexBest ||
(nTransactionsUpdated != nTransactionsUpdatedLast && GetTime() - nStart > 60))
{
if (pindexPrev != pindexBest)
{
// Deallocate old blocks since they're obsolete now
mapNewBlock.clear();
BOOST_FOREACH(CBlock* pblock, vNewBlock)
delete pblock;
vNewBlock.clear();
}

I haven't observed memory leak on any of my nodes that are generating stakes, whether production or testnet.

i am running a node 24/7 since like 2 months.. i have also create some stakes. but didnt recognized a memory leak..

It looks to me like the memory leak in ppcoind is related to the number of blocks created/mined. My pool now has a low number of blocks produced, due to lower hash rate and the larger number of proof of stake blocks produced by others. This has resulted in needing to restart the daemon less often to reclaim memory.

I wonder if proof of stake miners are seeing a memory leak. Is anyone running a node 24x7 for proof of stake producing a reasonable number of blocks per day seeing this?

I'm not at all surprised by the crash given your weekly update #20. Weekly updates #13 and #14 also warned of high volatility, and resulted in dumping and nearly 20% drop in PPC/BTC exchange rate. BTC/USD rally probably fueled it quite a bit also.

I doubt that me uttering the word 'volatility' would spook the market so much. Anyhow I think it's prudent to periodically warn investors of the risks.

It's probably some early investors lose interest or feel uncertain about the 0.3 protocol upgrade. I'd say that the work is making good progress and will be released soon. But meanwhile the new algorithm is a bit involved and it's better to get it thoroughly tested rather than rushing it and cause problems on the production block chain.

Market is in some sort of 'crash' mode for the day, bitparking has volume over 1.5m as of now, meaning more than 10% of the total ppcoin changed hands today.

On one hand it shows healthy depth of the market, but this drop does feel somewhat abnormal. I will be monitoring the network closely in the next few days.

If you notice any abnormal events on the network please let me know.

www.proofofstake.com seems to have stopped showing difficulty and mint/day.

Still shows nothing for me.

It loads eventually for me.. just takes a little time... but the PPC to BTC and PPC : BTC exchange rate graphs are the only ones that are running up to date.... Market Cap, Difficulty and Minted daily all seem to stop at about the 3rd -7th December Sad

with the new upgrades etc how do you upgrade to not be effected ?

usually you just need to update your wallet client with the latest one within the time frame Sunny king will specify and you will not notice any difference

Though ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BACKUP your wallet.dat file

and I usually test on a separate computer but that just me being extra cautious

I think if you do not update within the timeframe then you will not receive any POS from that point as the nodes you connect to will not recognise u as running a valid latest version... or you will have difficulty downloading the latest blocks in the blockchain.

This is my understanding so if anyone wants to clarify or correct me then please do... knowledge is power..... but i'd rather have higher hashrate!!
