Topic: Bottlecaps 2.1 UPDATE REQUIRED - HARDFORK JULY 4 2014 to 200% Annual PoS - page 180. (Read 388610 times)

So if you're mining in a pool and the pool is on block 54015, are we on the wrong chain?

Ok, here is what is happening...

Ten coins become staked on the 0.00 blocks... (Not sure if it REMOVES 10 coins or not.)

Then on the 0.01 blocks, 10 or 10.01 coins move to staked, but move back to normal coins after confirmation? (Every other one has the 0.01 added to the 10 it moves.)

In the process, every other 0.01 block produces 0.01 coins as a bonus...

This is NOT how I thought it was going to work... At the most, I will have only about 100.10 coins staked at any one time. I thought they were all going to move to stake, and only the "rewards" would instantly become coins, and after 90 days, the staked coins become unstaked...

It is more like 25 blocks not 90 days, and the coins become unstaked and move back. (Thus never rewarding more than 0.01 or 0.02, at the moment. They don't stay long enough to accumulate more than that micro-amount, before moving out of stake.)

Eg... we get 0.005 per POS block, essentially... it has nothing to do with the number of unspent coins, or accumulation of coins in stake. (As far as it is acting now. When I had 70 I did not get 0.07 reward, as implied, or 0.03 even...)

For the latest list on the right chain

I am synced again and running. Block height 77382 same as http://bottlecaps.kicks-ass.net/block_crawler.php

I think what you are seeing is that when you get a POS it moves 10 to the staked column + the POS amount mined so something like 10.01 Then once that has been confirmed they move back to the balance.

Current block-height check...

I am mining on 77359 @ 10:20 PM (GMT -5), same as on http://bottlecaps.kicks-ass.net/block_crawler.php

This still correct? All connections are version 70000, except one IP: 192.241.142.48:7685.

Getting TONS of POS-reward blocks. (Few actual POS-changeover blocks. Ones that convert 10 coins to stake.)

Though, the numbers don't add up...

4 POS blocks 0.00val = 40 staked coins...
53 POS-reward blocks 0.01val = 0.53 staked rewards?

Total should be 40.53 staked? I have 40.02... it went down again from the 70.06 I had... odd.

Oldest confirm is 488 confirmed, my first POS 0.00 block.

We really need a "Stake reward" column, to show that coins have moved from stake. That, or a running-total in the list of transactions, to show "Mined", "Staked", "Rewarded", and "Deposited"... or something like that.

As I type, my staked coins just dropped to 30.02... Am I loosing coins?

Can someone post another archive of the chain that is fresher? My wallet jumped ship again.    I tired the on posted earlier and it is not allowing me to sync up for some reason.

I really wanted to mine on CAP tonight and all was well. Took the wife to dinner and came home and off again. Any ideas on how to keep this from happening or ddo I just have to wait until tomorrow at noon?

They will we had a corrupt wallet and had to do a repair be back up shortly.

Surely you can't miss the big blue button that says Download bottlecaps_76709_blocks.rar right in the center?

The only reason for actually downloading MemoPal itself would be if you actually wanted to share your own files.

Same issue here. I sent some some CAPs to Cryptsy from Multipool about 12 hours ago and they still haven't shown up.

Looks like I managed to fork NVC P2Pool to work on CAP
My git repo: https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav
use "cap" branch
My 1st block: http://bottlecaps.kicks-ass.net/block_crawler.php?block_hash=00000001a43f7af2523c3d390889e916c301b79876bd323d33d32edea3c115f0

Please get the new link up soon.  Petrified's link requires 3rd party software to download the file...

And as for being banned, how did this happen? What sense does it make to ban someone with the wrong chain from the right one?  How else am I supposed to get on the correct blockchain?  Am I going to have to hope someone posts the current best chain and that it is correct?   

I've sent some caps to cryptsy that haven't showed up yet in the account balances page. They have over 700 confirmations. This is on the same blockchain as the explorer.

BitJohn, are you waiting until things settle down, until you start crediting accounts with caps? Also, what is your node's IP? It would be nice to add you.

Thank you very much. Ill throw some hash there tonight. Thats one thing we need now is a few good pools

Downloading the copy of the chain posted by petrified earlier should get you on the right chain. Ill upload another soon

You were most likely banned for "misbehaving" once 1,4,1 clients saw you on a bad chain. If you get on the right one and stay there for a while they should accept you again

There still may be some issues until only 1.4.1 clients are the only running running on the netowrk. There will be a few hiccups until then but after that im confident once only 1.4.1 clients are runing and we are all on the same chain we will good to go

The old clients are still there generating the issues. Its just a process of weeding them out and getting everyone on the right chain.

The node at 199.180.115.100 has been rock solid staying on the correct chain

I've redownloaded the blockchain several times now (first downloaded an hour after it was posted) with various addnodes listed from today.  My client is still hanging back about 7000 blocks.  Nothing is changing, I get stuck on a bad chain everytime.  

I think I finally managed to update http://cap.coinmine.pl to latest client and successfully download blockchain. Please send some hashes here to test current setup.

Thank you! That got me back on the correct chain. Cost me another 500 coins though. 
Total of over 1000 lost due to wrong chain issues. Oh well, life goes on.

Guess I better get to mining to get some back. Hopefully it stays were it belongs this time.

Further to this, when I restarted my daemon earlier I backed up my blocks in the %Appdata%\bottlecaps folder. At the time it was up to block 76,709 (We're currently on 77,009 as I type this).

Here is the download link

You may need to start your client with the -rescan flag if you use this.

That is the list that I use, as it has the highest block-height. (Works for me now, after constant restarting, to get that right height.)

Odd things happening...

My staked coins just went from 70.07 to 60.05 when I got another POS...

Also note... I went from having no POS for a month (with POS ready blocks), to having 7 in a few hours... The odd thing is, the POS rewards are 0 then 0.01 than 0 then 0.01, and they are going into POS only. I thought the 0.01 reward was going to show as a normal TX? EG, 70 staked results in 0.07 reward that shows in actual coins, not back as more POS staked coins... Which would leave tons of staked coins that can never be touched?

Or will those later roll-out of stake, into a normal coin, after the 90 days? (Eg, they unstake themselves.)

As I wrote this, I am now up to 80.07 staked... lol, it gave me one of the 10-coins, but rejected one of the reward POS blocks of 0.01... odd again. I guess the reward was inside of the "next block", but the "next block" it was in, was rejected by the network... so I lose my reward which was in that block as a transaction to the coins that were moved in the prior block... that's annoying.

Also note, annoying CGMINER change...
Accepted no longer shows the number accepted, it shows the DIFF of the last accepted block. SO much for tracking how many accepts/rejects we get now...

EG, it shows A: 70687 lol... Yay, 70,000 accepted blocks and only 0 rejects! great odds! lol (Sent a notice to the devs of CGMINER.)

I have 11 (confirmed) 0.01 blocks, and only 6 apparently show as staked?
I have 1 (confirmed) 0.00 blocks, and 70 show as staked?
Total: 70.06, should be 10.11? or 60.11??? (2 10's resulting in 1 of 0.01)

POS blocks total (not including the ones still pending confirms)
12 total confirmed, indicating 80.07 staked
8 total unconfirmed

2 are 0.00 blocks
18 are 0.01 blocks
