Topic: [ANN] [XVI] Vibranium | Antimetal | Masternodes | Wallet update - page 2. (Read 12298 times)

I am seeing the same thing; Devs who seem absolutely intelligent and honorable, and who disappear without a trace after a month or a few months for no apparent reason.

I was thinking about this phenomenon, and also thinking about how much time I spend asking on these forums if anyone has any addnodes when wallets inevitably dwindle down to 0 connections.

To this end, I am offering up a service: I will host a nodes for coins for a very affordable 0.1 BTC / year. Any Dev or community can afford this, and it would guarantee at least one node running 24/7 for a year or more.

For my test run, I will host Vibranium for free for a year. You can use:


Yes, I registered the addnode.link domain for this service. Please feel free to use it in your Vibranium.conf, and please let me know if you see any issues with this node. It should show up as 45.55.157.54:12215 if you enter "getpeerinfo" in your debug window. I would love to hear some feedback before fully launching this service.

If anyone is reading this and wants a node hosted for .1 BTC / year for your favorite coin, please feel free to PM me!

What seems to be a Superhero most often turns to be a turd

Lately I have seen several Devs who seemed to be honest and responsible, told "I will never-ever abandon this", but then just shamefacedly disappeared. I don't like superheroes, as most of them just like to show off. Who promises much, delivers almost nothing.

Anyway... back to topic... Related to your question on "listen=1", I cannot tell for sure, but suppose it allows to get access to the wallets running behind NAT. If you do not listen for connections, you will connect only to the peers you know, while if you are open and listening, some unknown peers could find you from behind their firewalls and NATs. Thus you get more connections. Its the same as with Torrents. If you have real and open IP, you will get much more peers than if you are behind company firewall NAT machine and are not visible from outside.

Thanks drays! I now have one connection. You can also add my node to your Vibranium.conf: 107.170.196.135:12225 (it's not always running, but it does run for a few hours every day). addnode.link:12215

I had been using listen=1 in my config out of habit more than understanding (question: if we don't set listen=1, does our wallet not listen for new connections?), and I am also running a staking node instead of a masternode based on the same logic you used (we want to move this blockchain!).

Too bad if this coin is abandoned; I liked the tie-in to the Black Panther super hero, and the idea of using it in an RTS game sounded really promising.

EDIT: updated my node address (see my post below)

all this thing needs is  a seeder node, no?

you can grab addnodes off topia but some server needs to be online 24/7 

I am running a node and have 3 connections currently. Here they are:
[
    {
        "addr" : "5.9.36.211:40015",
        ....
        "version" : 61400,
        "subver" : "/Haircut:1.0.0/",
        "inbound" : true,
        "startingheight" : 175939,
        ...
    },
    {
        "addr" : "188.165.2.147:36330",
         ...
        "version" : 61400,
        "subver" : "/Haircut:1.1.0/",
        "inbound" : true,
        "startingheight" : 175939,
        ...
    },
    {
        "addr" : "50.157.173.168:51037",
        ...
        "version" : 61400,
        "subver" : "/Haircut:1.1.0/",
        "inbound" : true,
        "startingheight" : 178863,
        ...
    }
]

You can use any of them, or my node at 104.207.131.249:12215.

Not sure where this is going though, as the Dev does not seem to be very responsive now. Don't understand what has happened to that guy

EDIT: one additional advice: you could want to set listen=1 in your config, and open the listening port in the firewall. This will allow you to find more connections. It helped me to find connections on several coins where I got 0 conn before. Also - if you have coins in your wallet, it is better to run staking instead of masternode, as staking will move the blockchain. Not sure which one will get more coins though (staking or MN), but at current prices it is not really important.

Nope - probably a paid node expired and with no dev - no node - no connection.
I gave up and dumped mine after waiting forever hoping the dev would return or someone would step up

I stopped running my XVI node a couple of weeks ago, because I stopped getting connections and started getting weird errors in the console; plus it was taking up a ton of CPU.

I started it up again today and I don't see the errors, but I still get 0 connections. Does anyone have any addnodes that work?

FADE was finally delisted from C-Cex. Thats ok actually, as they did not collaborate anyway, and wasn't even able or wiling to change the market name to XVI...
So now there are XVI markets on Bleutrade and Cryptopia, and FADE market at Yobit. Not sure if Yobit market is on track with the rest.

There has been an up tick on Bluetrade of buying.
Seems like someone knows more than us!

Hmm..Though the developer has mentioned, he is working in the background, he needs to at least post updates once in a while to engage the community.

The developer seemed to be an honest and serious person. Not sure why did he disappear (actually logged in yesterday, but did not comment). Maybe just no progress was made due to lack of time, hence no update...

I still hope he didn't abandon the project, and just works on it in background. It would be disappointing to see even seemingly reliable people to break their word. I hope (and actually I believe) this is not the case here.

seems almost dead as you can see - no community - no value -absent dev.
got it an cryptonia and disappeared - maybe just a long vacation

hope for a resurection - I still have a bunch

Is this coin still alive? Block explorer (http://xvi.altexplorers.info:3015/) is down..

Thank you for the listing of XVI at Cryptopia!

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange?market=XVI_BTC

thank you for the info.  cheers!

Updated the OP a little. Services will start to roll out as block rewards decrease. Thank you for your patience. If I seem absent from here, I'm just busy creating substance for the crowd-funding campaign. My mind is not on the markets right now. They will be late I suspect, but XVI WILL be picked up by all in the long run.

we are watching. Any new info, new roadmap, new market etc ?

and i see still fade market active on yobit and scam exchnag c-cex.

Seeking crowd funding outside of bct to help with the Game of Ore. Will keep you posted.

Ok guys, I have been working on our RTS game. I had started skinning and I wanted to get some input on the style of the game. Sci-fi, Mid-evil, etc and any unit types that you might like to see. There will be factions or alliances as well. I have them set as

Miners
Traders
Hodlers
Fudders
Pumpers and Dumpers
XDevs
 
Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you for your patience. This will be a success no matter what the price is now.
