I did follow mullick instructions, seems fine for me with 8 active peers now. I will update my post if it goes bad.

{
"blocks" : 79651,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 1.18377558,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}

Yes, you will have to do this every few hours... because you will again be booted from the chain you are on, or they will leave. (They = the one largest pool that becomes the new tallest chain, every time.)

I am making a list of every time I was severed from "the tall chain", when my program was forced to mine with the others who were booted off the chain, which leads us into creating the many small isolated chains. In hopes that this will help to identify the exact issue... but without knowing why "we are all seen as misbehaving"... it will be of no real use.

If misbehaving = resubmitting a block that is not acceptable... due to being beat by another block... then that code has to be changed. CGminer is told to resubmit up to 12 times, which is NOT misbehaving, that is called persistence when the client does not respond with a valid reason for rejection, or does not respond with a rejection at all.

This is where a port-snooper comes in handy. You can actually see what it is sending before the program chews it up and spits out something that can't be translated.

Wow I am glad I stopped mining CAP awhile ago.  I figured I'd stop and come back in a week or two when the issues were fixed and now that its been that long this still is looking like a waste of time to mine.  Everytime a fix is in place it forks again, is this a coding issue or just the fact that the wallet software still isn't working correctly?

You don't get it...

We are all being disconnected...

The chains are all going rogue after a certain period of time... All of them... any one we connect to...

Stopping POS has nothing to do with it... We are generating POS fine for hours...

Versions have nothing to do with it... The new versions are being booted too...

There is a problem with the clients. They are either f-ing up with something related to the block-heights, f-ing up with something related to "sending data" or "reading sent data", or f-ing up because someone figured-out an exploit and is exploiting the miners through the IRC rooms.

That, or the one we keep following is just the only one f-ed up and causing all the issues for all of us. Someones "special compiled version" that they screwed-up and are persistently convincing us to connect to.

Then there is that guy a few posts back who said something about branching his own version of CAP from some other client. Could his rogue-branch creation be f-ing up the network, feeding us invalid data because he has no f-ing clue what the hell he is doing with his "branch".

Connecting to the right chain does not solve anything. It keeps disconnecting us. Like the logs show... we are all acting-up after time. No... that client is not reading our information correctly, or he is right, because our clients are not sending information correctly. Then it isolates itself, and we isolate ourselves from everyone else, doing the same... refusing connections because they are acting-up too. Creating one fork for every client, until no-one new can connect to us, and our fork just dies and sits there not mining or doing anything.

P.S. This happens at about 1:00 AM (GMT -5) and at 11:00 AM (GMT -5) for me, every day... it is that predictable for those times, by observation of my wallet filling with (?) blocks, which all start around those times. (There are other times too... but those two times it absolutely disconnects, and goes into a fork.)

And the fact that the program doesn't even attempt to fix the issue by looking for taller chains, or joining taller chains when found or reported... is making the issue a game-stopper. Even when you find the right chains, you have to delete the whole chain, or manually delete and restore a point where the chain was below that point, or it never connects and keeps forcing you back onto the wrong chain, because it is not fixing itself with the correct longer chain. Without THAT fixed, or working... this will never have resolution.

How to do that is simple. If you need guidance on that.. don't hesitate for me to outline HOW. Not sure why it doesn't do that in the first place, or why it was removed as a function.

I downloaded the blockchain posted starting at 79500 and it seems to be synced, I'm guessing the coins I mined were a fork but I'm kinda miffed at how they could confirm, sucks I wasted so much time. I wont assume a wallet is working properly next time Sad

Also having trouble getting the wallet to sync. Sometimes it shows it has then others it jumps from 1700 blocks to 2700 needing to be synced. I have solo mined around 800 coins and now have tried to withdraw them in the times I got it to show synced and still an hour later nothing...could the transfer reach 15 confirms if the coins I mined were bad/out of sync? Am I screwed out of my time spent mining? hope not...things are already thin for profits as it is.

Here is 1.4.2 More checkpoints to help you sync. Github updated as well Make sure your port is forwarded Default:7685

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0V-7FME2rcycmItM09wOFVvb0U/edit?usp=sharing

Please add reservebalance=1000000 to your .conf for now to prevent your client from generating proof of stake blocks until we are all on the same chain and stable

Hers is a copy of the blockchain up to about block 79500 if you are still having trouble syncing. Your connections may start low but will grow with time

‘Try to be nice’
Well it looks like Caps is having a slightly hard time of it, but what we need to remember is this is all a learning process , and in a way , good will come from this .

Well I think most people coming on here would be using the latest version (since hopefully they come here to read the posts) and since as of yesterday the latest version only listens to the newest version........looking forward to problem being solved.

What people don't understand that this takes time to fix, theoretically the fix is in place, but it will take time to get rid of all the bad nodes. It's the people using outdated versions..

Is the correct one. I guess i'm one of the lucky few but I have had no problems yet at all.

We're stilling mining away: http://cap.coinmine.pl

Hope we're on the right chain.

coinmine was not on correct chain again... I have now idea what is going on - trying to redownload again

gents - I moved the pool to new server and you have to wait until DNS is updated or use IP: 188.165.211.202 in your miner settings. Hope this move will change anything but now we are on good chain

feeleep

This should help.If you find the correct chain the peers wont tag you as having the wrong chain anymore becasue of the new IP

Im stuck at work prob. till the wee hours of the morning. Ill re evaluate the situation then

After moving to new server coinmine pool is on right chain
