And I got .255 of a solarcoin from my main wallet. Maybe working a bit too well!

Actually that's working perfectly. It fits with the inflation model of solar claims.

Solarcoin just got harder to farm and that's exactly the right direction, it'll give an even greater incentive to claim Solarcoin, since it can no longer be farmed with ease. The original plan was to mine 100 million coins in the PoW phase, but that seemed impractical due to the increasing popularity of solar claims.

I have a positive vibe about this.

Hello SolarCoin Community,

As you may have noticed, the fork occurred at 835000, a slight oversight on my part before leaving for a needed sanity button reset.

Here's what I need everyone to do. Check your block height by hovering your mouse over the Sync/Staking icon. At the time of this writing, you should be at height 835224. If you are at a larger or lesser height, please go to File->Reload Blockchain, download the bootstrap and restart to get on the main chain.

If you have trouble getting the Download to work in the wallet, you can get it here: http://solarcoin.org/downloads/bootstrap.zip

To manually install the bootstrap, shut down the wallet, remove blk0001.dat and txleveldb in your data directory, extract the contents of bootstrap.zip, and move the contents to your data directory.

It looks like the 10% cap is working. If you would like to share the results of your staking, please post them here.

-Steve

EDIT: We need as many wallets staking as possible to get the blockchain moving along a 1 bpm.

EDIT: If you are mining on 1.5, please turn off your miners as you will be wasting electricity on anything past 835000.

I am not doing that until all questions have been answered instead of ignored. Shall I repeat them all? Yes I will.
For now, I will stick to 1.5 and mining, current block is 835469, anything else is just a joke, and it was not all of us working hard and being worried here that did it look like a joke.

The current 1.5 node list to use in a SolarCoin.conf file along your wallet.dat for everyone who wants POST done and tested professionally before being implemented can be found here:

Thanks!

Hi y_virtual,

I have not been able to read all of the posts from the past few days. If you have any unanswered questions, please post them here. I will be monitoring the thread the rest of the day.

Current block height is 835225. I know about the web server issues with reloading the block chain. We will be moving the bootstrap to a more reliable server in the next release. In the mean time, the manual bootstrap procedure above is the fastest solution.

More 2.0.3. nodes are starting to come online. We need everyone on 1.5 to upgrade to 2.0.3 asap.

Note: Everything appears to be working with the interest rate cap. This solution, I think, is going to work best for SolarCoin. We may need to tweak it as the network matures in the next few days/weeks. (PoST will run more smoothly as it matures.) To alleviate any concerns, the first attempt at PoW to PoST was working as designed in the PoST protocol. Its inflation model was not necessarily a good fit for SolarCoin, so caps had to put in place.

Thanks everyone,
Steve

hi all,
I am just wondering ....
"SolarCoin move to POST ...Minimize carbon footprint".
How do we know that ? This is not the 1st time i am reading this assumption .
Do we have some math ?
how many miners versus users wallet opened behind a PC ?

Thanks

Hi User fred,

.. "There is a marginal energy drain on CPU's but it is a function that is not-related to the value of the network."

...

Nick

Thanks nick for this long answer
100% to 125 % of my CPU is not marginal at all, i am not alone in this case . That's why i am asking this question.

Lets just all hope this is part of the plan

if this is part of the plan, all I can say Is that was very unprofessionally done. POS should start at a time when everyone is aware of it, especially since rewards are higher the first few days

edit: at least it looks like it's working now, just got 24 coins interest

I'm so confused right now, are we now on post or is this another mess up?
Should I close my wallets and panic or leave it open!

true but i do remember him saying at one point PoST would start on this current block 835,000 but then he did change it to the block you mention 840,000.

Yes.

~~Anyone earn any interest yet from there coins today?~~

Just got 11 coins interest.

I would not consider this current version of the wallet application legit.
1. As per the developer, staking was supposed to start at 840000 after he gets back and finishes preparations
2. PoW mining with 1.5 wallet continues because of point 1.
3. Block explorer is not functional because of point 1.
4. Questions have not been answered for the specific reason for the malfunction of the previous release, so the cause has not been officially identified and named so that we can verify it has been fixed in 2.0.3
Thanks!

Here is my choice as of now:
1. backup all current wallets, exit & uninstall 2.0.3;
2. Reinstall/restore 1.5, use 1.5 wallets from backup, check balances 1.5 vs 2.0.3 wallets, try to figure out any possible discrepancies;
3. Resume PoW mining on miningpoolhub or solo (if needed).

What the hell is going on?

Im sick of constantly keeping track of all my wallet.dat files.
Im going to lose something in all of this mess.
There are a lot of unanswered questions on the last two pages, it would be nice to get a few answers regarding this entire mess

Edit:
I do have testing-only new (2.0.3) wallets with balances in them. Apparently staking that started at 835000 is on the same blockchain where 1.5 mining continues. So for these new wallets I will take the risk (no other option actually available) to add step 4:
4. (try to) Send 2.0.3-only wallet balances to 1.5 wallets, then fresh install 1.5 in place of the 2.0.3 application.

Edit2:
5. try using 2.0.3 wallet in 1.5

Solarcoin notice

Hi
This is miningpoolhub.

Solarcoin pool is reverted to previous fork. (No hardfork)
We resumed solarcoin pool and mining is working well currently.
We will announce if things change.

Thanks.

Well looks like 2.0.3 started staking at 835000, and PoW mining in 2.0.3 is currently disabled. Now what?

Staking started at 835000? Why is that?
