Topic: Bottlecaps 2.1 UPDATE REQUIRED - HARDFORK JULY 4 2014 to 200% Annual PoS - page 106. (Read 388610 times)

my CAPS address is not showing on http://cap.blockx.info/richlist/

is it safe for me to buy more CAP from cryptsy and have them transferred to my address?

thanks Ill try that

Sounds like you got stuck on the wrong chain.

Please shutdown client and remove blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat and restart. Please be sure to use 2.1.

Alternatively you can also try to create a DB_CONFIG file as suggested by ghostlander here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7362114

You can hit control c on the window and paste the entire Detailed View into notepad.  The popup window that I used built into QT doesn't allow size update. But one of these days when I have time I will see about popping up a more custom window, similar to the about window. It's just a lot more work.

I've thought about bannode before. I may do it.  I'd would hate for everyone to ban these IPs and they are not able to get connection to network, once they get themselves fixed up.

hello! I close and open the wallet again now it says out of sync but it says 8 active connection
when i put my cursor to the word out of sync its says "the displaed information maybe out of date your wallet automatically synchronizes with the bottlecap network after a connection is establish but this process has not completed yet"

Banning bad peers via firewall worked, thanks. Are there plans to add some kind of peer blacklist to the wallet? Something like bannode=1.2.3.4.

The Extended Peer Information window has the advantage over getpeerinfo that it shows converted date/time but it has fixed size and the text box is very small. I had to copy&paste to notepad for comfortable reading, so a variable size window would be cool.

607 to go, or at block 607, either way no reason for that. The connection icon is to the right of the staking arrow. I have 19 connections 3 are bad, 2 are in the process of syncing. So it looks like things are getting normal.

Mining for profit is not supporting the coin, it's purely for your own enterprise.
That is fine, miners are needed and very welcome but it also diminishes any opinion you have on a community thread.
People who are prepared to put in real time & effort to assist other users with issues and promote adoption and services don't want to hear about you blaming
everyone but yourself for your own lack of due diligence.

Treat you mining enterprise like the business it should be, its dog eat dog and your choices are your own.

If you want to bash the dev team for real coding and wallet issues go ahead, you'll be a while waiting for a problem that these guys don't get on top of before you have finished typing your complaint.

Out of interest, can you give an example of  "do everything I can do to drive up it's value"
Sounds like you were trying to do everything you could to dump hard on a fake pump and never look back.

my wallet stock stock in block 607 im using the latest fix... where can i find the connection bar?
tnx

Where to even begin?

1.  Dev's job is to make a good coin.  Dev's job is NOT to make sure you personally can profit from mining a coin, or that it be worth a certain value. 
2.  Even so, the coin is at it's highest value YTD what are you complaining about?
3.  The coin did not lose 40% of it's value.  The coin was very temporarily and artificially inflated in price because while people could buy as much as they wanted, those holding coins couldn't get them on the exchange to sell. 
4.  He just came out with major changes and a new wallet (incidentally, you want him to do things but doing things is what caused this in the first place); that isn't "abandoning" the coin.

Listen, if you were paying attention at all you would have known it was only listed on one exchange and that the exchange wasn't accepting deposits.  Common sense could have told you that the brief run up in price was not real.  If that wasn't enough, you've spent the last two weeks bragging to anyone on here that would listen about how much better at mining you were than everyone else, what a genius you are at picking coins, etc.  Perhaps you will learn from this, and next time you see a well known coin with a much higher return than average, ask yourself why no one else is jumping all over it.  Or you could just blame other people for your mistakes.  I guess that works too.

Fact is, you fucked up.  You used the wrong numbers, your autoswitcher used the wrong numbers, YOU fucked up and mined the wrong thing.  Not the dev.  Smarten up. 

Regarding Cryptsy and other exchanges.

I do not take part in pushing any coin anywhere. I may vote for free here and there if I have a few minutes. But if it requires sending BTC to get a coin listed, it might as well just be a bribe in my opinion. I do not take part in that. If an exchange wants to list it. Here it is.

My job here is to get the wallet working, the network secure and the community excited about a coin. The rest is up to you guys. 

I may work towards getting certain people or aspects on board. Such as I will soon be working on getting some high profile charities involved with HoboNickels. But that is about my fullest extent towards pushing a coin on anyone.

Let's work together to achieve the ends we all desire. Divide and concur and casting blame, isn't likely to have the desired results.

Thanks!

So there are still a few people who do not know their wallet is stuck and requesting the same blocks over and over.  After the fork I am going to be sending an alert to all people on 2.0 and 2.0.0.1. Advising them to check and make sure they are on the right block and that they should upgrade to 2.1 to fix a staking issue with their client.

In the mean time you can click the connections bar and see if you have a bad peer.

You can see a bad peer as follows.

You can then ban that IP via your firewall.. I won't be doing this personally as I will be needing to send them alerts.  But there is nothing to stop you from removing a peer you deem unreliable.

I'll support the coin as long as I deem it profitable to mine.

I have no altruistic intentions.

that said - "what is good for the coin?" - to allow it to languish at 1 satoshi like so many other coins or and have people like me mine it and do everything I can do to drive up it's value...

that's my opinion...

If the deposits hadn't gone down the price would not have spiked the only people losing out there are buying on a coin that cant be deposited
and miners blindly following coinwarz etc.
First thing I looked at when price started moving again was can I deposit ? No .. right then i'm not mining it OR buying it because the price is unreliable.
Cryptsy should really suspend trading when this happens because it has knock on effects for difficulty when there is only one exchange to compare. and
the auto exchange feature is probably backed up with all those hopeful souls keen to dump the minings
I cant accuse anyone of taking advantage but I wasn't born yesterday either.. So I call myself out of the fray until it looks like I'm playing a fair game again.

If you had significant deposit on cryptsy that price would not have happened you only think you saw something happen - it was never really an opportunity in my view, just numbers.

In short I agree with you but you walked right into it and shouldnt be complaining in this thread about those issues.
The coin is starting to go somewhere again.
Are you a supporter or a profiteer?

I love mining this coin - it's my my best interest to put my money where my miners are - simple as that. They told me at Mintpal they don't take 'bribes' ...er... I mean Donations.

trust me - it's cost me more than 1 btc in lost revenue if I could have sold for 10,000 instead of sitting and playing with myself as I waited for big jerk off vern and his merry band of dysfuncional programmers to get off their asses.

I told a friend of mine we'd see 6,000 or close to it when the dump came after they got the wallet working and now we'have to wait a few weeks before things return to normal and there's no guarantee BTC will still be at 600 when the value of CAP recovers from the dump

Phew. That lot sounds like a not much research ... ooooh  butt hurt situation.

Tranz is navigating this coin through a recovery from near oblivion, it's risky but people have voted with their BTC in support of his efforts.
And people who have taken a moment to think it through obviously think its worth the risk to support it.

In other news my wallets are working ship shape after above posted advice on this thread and I'm looking forward to the tranzition on the 4th
to the new chain, may it work flawlessly or get a dose of community support to nudge it along ... but please no more
WORDS

Nope there is no owner of open source software. Taking this to PM now, don't want to spam the thread with garbage.

it's like Owner a company calling as opposed to an employee - after if he's the dev it's he who the exchange will ultimately rely on to get things done....

correct?

Ok I am just trying to understand how Tranz querying MintPal would be any different than you doing it.

if you're going to take something over then assume responsibility - simple as that. You can't have it both ways.

I'm doing my part but I'm just a miner trying to insulate the value of the coin from the whims of one single exchange.

if they decide to delist it - the coin is doomed. not a good position to let your coin get in.. is it?
