having problems getting a fresh new wallet to sync. wants to download to 17020. sometimes updates to 17301 or the current block but then reverts back to 17020. been at it for awhile with current wallet and partial blockchains and new wallet, all with no luck.
Despite all our efforts, our pool servers still fork randomly soon after POS block. We have couple of ideas but have to replicate the problem in the test environment.
I'm going to start a philosophical debate, and I'm going to do so starting off by saying, every cloud has its silver lining.
Theoretically, PoS isn't of much value until there's already a large, widely distributed money supply to serve, isn't that correct? Otherwise it makes no theoretical sense, right? (Those who are already asking for the ETA for POW's scheduled end do get a chuckle out of me.)
I've always said (first time here on this thread) that PoS should only come once POW is done.
In my opinion, PoS shouldn't even be considered until PoS rewards are > POW rewards, and not one day sooner.
That's the theoretical debate, that perhaps leads to the silver lining of all these cloudy issues we've been experiencing. On merits alone (what benefits does PoS really bring us?), that is to say, theoretically, at the present time, does PoS really make sense?
I'm all for junking it until it's actually more valuable than POW, and just letting Groestl POW do its thing!
(
It might have been a noble idea and effort, but has anyone made a hybrid POW/PoS work yet? As far as I know, even DMD is still having [important] problems with its PoS payouts minting . . .)
