Topic: [ANN][ENRG]Energycoin since 2014, a coin with a green mission [new client v1.61] - page 92. (Read 172933 times)

For now that is not the intention.
But I concider to fork and change the specs.
The very fast blocktime consumes also extra CPU/spikes and if you are offline a few days then it takes a long time to get in sinq.
I disccused with my co-founder also a coinswap so we begin with a very fresh blochchain and can implement the latest developments like Etherium have. For the ecosystem we have in mind we think smart-contracts can play a role and that is not direct posible with EnergyCoin now. But it is to early to start with that development now and lower down the CPU/MEM consumption is the first priority and maybe we need to fork but that is not clear yet. I'm in discussion with the dev about the posibilities with the budget we have. If you want to contribute BTC for developmen then PM me and more is possible then.

Good plan to build ecosystem

 Are we going to need to re download the chain with the new client?

Ok that is clear. I think building the indexfile into virtual-XP takes some extra time. The block-time of EnergyCoin is so fast, maybe too fast.
You are no on the right way and if someone need a fresh blockchain I send that the next day, just PM me.

Sorry, Jan, I probably described it bad -- download speed of the huge ZIP file is absolutely OK, I did complete this action within several minutes. Problem is, that this ZIP file is from 2015-09-04, I "implanted" it into my ENRG client somewhere around 2015-09-20, or so. It means, that during this period there was ~ 50.000 of new blocks. So my client had to download these newest block for "fully synchronize state". And this action is performing around the week and still persist ;-). Now I have ~ 919 blocks remaining ... but sometimes probably the new blocks are created faster than "my ENRG client block-download speed". So it's similar to the "Achilles and turtle" issue :-)

Thank you for your positive feedback.
I know downloading new blocks  in de wallet is not very fast.
I hope the wallet client 1.4 is faster with that too.
One reason for this slow download is that EnergyCoin created many blocks, more than 3000 per day.
These blocks must be downloaded and build into the index file.
I shall ask de dev to look at this in detail, it is part of the improvement of the client but you can imagine that with 200-300 blocks per day the download would be much faster.

The download speed of the ZIP, if can also discuss but that is more a problem on your side I think.
I tested this @home and I took 2 hours or so. Did you also try the Bootstrap server?

Success!
 

Hi Jan,

many thanks for your suggestions - yes, ENRG client runs on my virtual WinXP, and you're right, I did all the steps as you described (just rename file as a "bootstrap.dat", not "boodstrap.dat", as you mentioned, it's probably typo :-) ), and it worked from that while till now - there was just one single crash, if I remember well. Yes, this client is sometimes very slow and consumpting too much system resources (we looking forward for version 1.4, isn't we? ), but it works.

I tried to download whole the "fresh" blockchain from the beginning, but it's too slow process, it'd probably takes months and months. So, then I stopped it, download your "blockchain in a ZIP file" (created at 2015-09-04) and ran again the client. Even if I proceed this step, it's still very slow and it's still downloading the blockchain (about a week) - now I'm "~1504 block(s) remaining", as orange indicator says, so I hope in day or two days the blockchain will complete and my client will be able to start mining again :-)
If the new version of ENRG client a/ will be a "less-intensive-for-OS-resources-consumption" and b/ will be able to download blocks much more faster (yeah, I know, it probably also depends due to number of up-to-date peers), it will be really great!

Thanks again for all your hard work with this great project!

More RETWEETS please.
On Bittrex we stay stable, one dumper last night to 140 Satoshi.
Have patience we have much attention and I have great plans for application I present 14th of October in Arnhem.

The developer is testing and I hope in two weeks the clients are available.
Two extra VPS 1.4 clients are running alraidy.

nice to see new wallet coming ,looking forward to staking 24/7 again

De first EnergyCoin meetup in Arnhem is in Dutch.

Nice to know the development looks active here.  Holding my coins and wait for the new wallet as well..

Yes I hope that more people like you have their ENRG on Bittrex and that is the reason for so less sell-orders.
If the total supply in Bittrex is 25% of what now is available higher levels are possible for sure
I hope in 2 weeks all the tests are done and we have then a stable wallet 1.4 with less CPU/MEM consumption.

One part of the development is the Energycoin bootstrap server.
You can download the Blockchain from the link below.

waiting for new wallets before withdraw from bittrex. have a windows computer ready for the staking, awaiting update and the coins i am holding will be removed. my assumption is that there are other bittrex wallets awaiting this too ..

No, the new release is a few weeks. The developer is updating the code for less CPU and MEM consumption and some other tweaks.
We have now two extra VPS running.
I update today the OP with new EnergyCoin.coif and add these nodes.

Marketwatch EnergyCoin.
We had a nice uptrend but now investors are scared to put buy orders in range 100-200.  
The explanation is that there is only 1.7M sell orders in the order book and 14M EnergyCoin on Bittrex!
Check the Block Explorer: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/enrg/#!wallets
If you want to sell better put your orders in the 100-200 range.



The distribution on Bittrex looks healthy, not very big wallets there. I think we have potential up but then we neet realistic sell orders.

An exchange rate of 5000 Satoshi is not very realistic soon, if you want that price better stake your coins and withdrawal from Bittrex.
That gives the market more trust people are for long into EnergyCoin.
