maybe me posting so quickly is making you also want it fixing quickly.. probbaly it's best if I do what all the other altcoin guys do, and just not post for several days ?? Cheesy

No, because huntercoin is not a shitcoin  Grin

Are you going to update the homepage?
Do you have an ETA, like do you have a call in to a developer or are we all just waiting on somebody stumbling across this thread and looking into fixing things?
Does anybody have the contents of the last original block chain to compare to the blocks that followed on the forks?


homepage twitter is updated
devs are asleep (unless someone else wants to look)
which chain do you want..
i have the one uploaded to mega which is past the first fork.. do you want the link? (although, you are already on that chain)

All mining power is going toward center chain. 450 blocks in the last 6 hours. This is the "correct" one lol (91311)

eligius is using modified version of eloipool.   for god sake they're the ones that likely mined the transactions that tanked out gox with malleable transactions.  eloipool might normalize DER coding, but not  PUSHDATA2 type malleability..

and we're going to say they're the authentic chain?Huh


all that mining power is just f2pool, because i told them to copy blockchain from their sha256 pool to scrypt pool..

this was before i knew there was eligius chain... the reason i assumed the f2pool sha256 chain (middle one) was the right chain, was because i was using an uploaded chain which had gone past the first fork..
when syncing from scratch you reach eligius chain.. and client won't accept the larger chains (i'm assuming because is some invalid tx) - but maybe some reorg problem/bug

what has happened is (from what i've deciphered so may not be 100% correct, although i think it is), first.. f2pool both scrypt and sha256 pool split away from eligius.. then i uploaded chain to mega.. then their own pools split... so is unlikely it's eligius doing foul play.. as f2pool had the same issue themselves?

anyway.. just wait till we find out why the chains split Smiley

why dont you just leave the chain that most people are on (the middle length one) and make it the real one?
whichever one has the miners support becomes the chain, right? whose to say that your earlier chain is the right one?

or were people stealing tens of thousands of hucs?

i know what you are saying.. but which is the right one?

if you try syncing from scratch you cannot get past eligius chain.. it's not reorging to the higher chain., which may mean there is some invalid tx or problem?.. or maybe someone did something wrong/dodgy or a bug

anyway.. i don't have the expertise to say what the problem is.. so anything i've said previously is only an opinion/guess work

for now, need to wait

oh and bud, maybe update huntercoin.org

lol
i will buy HUC for BTC from people on the middle chain
0.00001 BTC/HUC

this means i was playing on the wrong chain in the last 8 hours? i collected like 200 coins... im at 91257

Same here well 9271 now people in game are all calling that chain out to.. I'm hoping that is the right one.

what will be the process when/if the block is identified? will there be a client update with a checkpoint or something that will force everybody on the same chain?

probably people can just sync and i'll upload the blockchain..

need to know more information first, as it may happen again, then we can issue a  patch (if needed)

need someone to look at the moment of first fork in the chain (someone that's not me Smiley ) - still, maybe the long chain is the right one.. i don't know.. for now it's best just to not trade any coins

unfortunately devs unavailable atm..

if anyone can find/fix/patch the issue sooner i'll issue some bounty (400 HUCs).. until then need to be patient (time zones are unfortunately an issue)

---

all the spam error messages in debug.log is most probably due to peers on longer chains trying to move which are invalid in the older chains (the spam you get while syncing) - (and maybe vice versa)

I put my purse one from scratch synchronized, see what happens

so can stay on a long chain, if it was most miners? what could be the consequences?

maybe that chain, no one can ever sync from scratch to it, because of some broken tx mid chain (only guessing)

also, if we/it does roll back, any tx in the longer chain may/will be lost (maybe some tx have gone in more than 1 chain)

thanks snailbrain... i have one wallet loading from zero so will see where that stops.. i'll cancel the others that are using the mega link...

ok.. seems we are even further behind...

still checking.. looks like eligius may have been on the only correct chain..
the reason why people were stuck on around block 89xxx is because that was the correct chain.. it wasn't taking a long time to sync.. it was synced..

my upload may have been the wrong chain.. seems the other pool mining both sha256/scrypt may have forked themselves separately.. or.. maybe they all just split

still investigating..

so what is the right chain at the moment, what is the current block?

trying to find out..

it could be 89427...

as it seems i can't sync past that block when syncing from scratch.. the reason people were syncing past it was because they used my uploaded chain which had already gone past the fork split.. afaik, the chain split 3 ways.. f2pool is mining both scrypt and sha256, eligius mining sha256. somehow f2pool went off on it's own, then split.

people earlier were saying it's taking hours to get past 8xxxx block, they thought it was slow syncing.. i.e. taking an hour to do 30 blocks. that's because the blocks coming in were mined blocks in real time by eligius.

I'd guess that block 89420 is the legit chain, otherwise i'd reorg onto the longer chain.. but.. i'm not certain... maybe something is wrong with the reorgs (although strange it would happen now after 80k blocks, so maybe (as someone suggested) someone is trying some foul play.
I've messaged the people in the know, and will try to get more details..

i've removed the mega link for now

it's recommended you do not trade any coins until we get to the bottom of it
