Topic: [ANN] Techcoin [TECH] [186,985 PoW coins 4% PoS] [BITTREX] [ALLCOIN] - page 20. (Read 69898 times)

What about stake difficulty?  Isn't that the reason it's taking so long to get the next block, kind of like PoW after big hash power leaves?  The target time is 60 seconds, do we really want to reduce it to get things moving, then increase it later to correct the block rate?  If we lower the initial difficulty that should get block time closer to 60s target, right?

I think if we are determined to keep the coin as PoS only there are a bunch of numbers needing to change, but let's gather some more opinions on what numbers to change...  I am new at this, so any info you have about other coins n stuff would help.

I am also open to (and in favour of) re-starting PoW, mostly as a way to generate blocks and get transactions moving, using a very low block reward so that it's still primarily a PoS coin.

We also need a new seed node, or remove it and post nodes for a conf file.  The one in the code is running v1.0.0.1.

That's correct, we need to fork and reduce nTargetSpacing to increase the rate at which blocks are generated.  Reducing the stake age won't help with moving the blockchain.

Any updates on the explorer??

Curious, so if the min stake age was set to an hour in the latest version of the wallet, the blockchain measures time in blocks, not actual time correct?  So these coins I withdrew would need not be eligible for 60 blocks, not literally an hour?  If thats the case, then yeah, we need a fork and community takeover because we won't ever get that far.

I have like 3000 TECH I withdrew from bittrex 2 days ago, broken up into about a dozen different transactions.  They are all still 3 blocks away from confirming.  If we can get a few more blocks to move and get these guys eligible for stake, it should be enough to get the blockchain moving.

Start a new github with a different name and updated code, start a new thread and direct people there.

how would you take it over if the dev still controls the github?

This coin is suffering from dev neglect.

Finally have a word on the block explorer "block explorer is offline due to none payment"

should have posted that up in the forum when u took it down.

so, nothing was paid out, we can't expect it to be updated, nobody is gonna want to pay hundreds of dollars for it.  Time to regroup and plan a community stakeholder takeover.

I am starting work on block explorer hosting since that will at least get Allcoin back on board.  I have secured a cheap domain name, next is cheap hosting, then learning.

Block 5053 now "netstakeweight" : 143,  <-  still falling.

Thank you for this info!  My wallet was out of sync until I added the following nodes to techcoin.conf.

connect=80.1.123.250:60311
connect=98.234.71.71:54986
connect=24.85.126.229:57697
connect=60.231.2.86:60949

thanks for the help

Any updates on the wallet??

Is possible to send a message in the wallet to note that the current blockchain they are running is too old?

There is a problem with the staking transition from PoW... dev?  well, they do compile updated windows wallets when we fix a problem, but so far...    not much for communication


BEST NODES I SEE:

fully up to date (software and blocks):

80.1.123.250:60311
98.234.71.71:54986
24.85.126.229:57697
60.231.2.86:60949

has the latest block but not the latest software

86.174.84.3:49524
203.166.232.99:50367
107.170.160.40:60591
82.245.42.49:57697
136.142.16.144:61266

All these should be OK to sync to for now.  The difference between the latest and first update is just that it will let coins stake sooner, so first update can keep up with latest blocks right now but may not accept them eventually once newer coins stake.

WTF is going on with this coin?? I bought 1.5 BTC worth of techcoin when it hit trex and now it's worth less than .1 BTC!! How the fuck does a coin even fall that much and what are the devs doing to repair it??

Latest official wallets:

updated windows-QT: 1.0.1.1

https://mega.co.nz/#!vI5jTaZL!WFk9NO6znmcmRRGL79B6x_7-Xyi5v8EUh0BeVFcs6ng


Updated Mac wallet: 1.0.1.1

https://mega.co.nz/#!McJEGDiT!WgEo-Z8QzSwWQiwlvT4pvtqyK_6ana4iB64shmGNjkk


The OP needs to be updated and a new block explorer is needed.  Who did it originally?  Time to learn more stuff, I guess...

also "netstakeweight" : 176 looks like stake in the network is dropping as coins stake, mature coins not coming fast enough...  EVERYONE PLEASE UPDATE!!!  Get your stake.

PoW ended at 5000 and the wallet fix was to get PoS started at 5000 instead of 6000, so what we are experiencing is a lack of coins on the network that are staking since so many are on pools and exchanges and won't be staking any time soon because of the very very slow blocks and long time before maturity.

Anybody have any idea why the blockchain is moving so slowly?  Is it too many nodes on the old wallet?

yes it seems to be working but for whatever reason it's very very slow
