Topic: ECCoin (ECC) Takeover by Trusted-Cryptos Team [Griffith] - page 4. (Read 91207 times)

update of the new ecc wallet:

it will not be released this weekend. all rerlease dates as stated on the Griffith Code Section of the www.trustedcryptos.com will be delayed ONE WEEK.

Reason:

 New wallet code base has some very inherent BAD problems and minor setbacks,

1. You WILL HAVE to resync. it will not read the old block index files and a resync is mandatory. because of this i will let some nodes do it first then paste the block index files so that everyone else doesnt have to wait for it.

2. there is a very bad problem with checking for proof of work blocks ||| aka, it doesnt work. it errors out and the only way i am getting it to sync right now for PoS testing is i am ignoring several PoW checkpoints.
for obvious reasons i want to address and fix that problem before i release the new wallet.

3. incomplete testing on whether or not the new code actually fixes what i thought it would fix. so i need to sync a wallet first and test the opening times before anything else. if the opening time isnt improved there is something else wrong and the new wallet wont do anything different anyway,

4. need to test that it can read the wallet.dat files. if it cant. then we have an obvious problem.

5. code base is a mess. a lot of hack fixes atm and i feel like the code is being held together by duct-tape. id prefer not to release it like that.


TL;DR    code base messy, 2 Major bugs, new wallet will be delayed 1 week

considering ive done nothing for the past 72 hours besides work on this and sleep. i dont think a week is too long to ask (i do have school assignments during the week otherwise id say 3 days)

Thats good !

I forgot about all the forking problems : wondered why my balance looked strange. Have now refreshed wallet/blockchain, run Repairwallet and all seems fine.

he sent me a private message and was able to recover his coins. we are on the main chain.

When we took over this coin it had a lot of forks in the chain. Griffith fixed them and we decided then that the "Mintpal" chain was the one to build on then, because all the volume was on that chain.

That being said it's clear that your coins must be on the right chain and that your coins must be available to you IF mintpal sent them on the blockchain. We all know what happend with mintpal and we are NOT responsible for any coins that where lost when mintpal stole them.

Since you lost faith in ECC (it never died) you will probarley have an old wallet, that is fine... I will try to help you recover your coins.

1. Dump your "private keys" from your wallet addresses and store the combinations (address and private key) somewhere save.
2. Get a new wallet or wait untill we launch the new one (expected any moment now)
3. Sync that new wallet.
4. Import your addresses into that wallet using the private keys.
5. Do a repair wallet.

This should bring your coins back to your wallet....IF mintpal send them to you.

If you don't know how to do these steps then send me a PM and I will guide you thru these steps.
 

update on ECC Wallet: it is operational, it opens and correctly uses the scrypt algorithm, but it has a reorganization loop that i need to fix because of the dual algos. this might take into tomorrow


edit: wallet seems to be working except it wont sync because there is an error in the message system. fixing that now

the block explorer isnt on the wrong fork and you are talking about issues that were over 200,000 blocks ago. (which is half the chain today)

the mintpal addresses are still on the blockchain. and there were a lot of forks back then that have since been fixed when i took over. i took over when the other dev left. there was a community takeover after that almost immediately and i spent quite a long time making the blockchain stable again.

 if you are asking about why those addresses show 0 in and 0 out thats because all of them do atm as BlockExperts sent me an email this morning saying it would be like that until the richlist finished compiling.
 and if you dont believe me on that? click on any block and any tx and click any address off of that and it will show 0.

if your wallet is fully synced now and on the right version (versions before..., 2.2 i believe wont connect to the chain anymore), you can attempt to recover data with the wallet repair and stuff but as far as missing coins go when it comes to mintpal no one can help you.

i am currently still working on the wallet. i am having some problems with it writing the blockIndex. it is erroring out at the write stage so i am currently debugging that if anyone was wondering why it is taking so long

Sweet. Looking forward!

All eyes on you!
Looking forward mate...

undergoing final stages of new ECC wallet testing. should be done tonight if i dont run into any major problems. stay tuned

list NO.85,GREAT

My real question is what we as stakeholders can do to help? I guess I feel a little helpless watching all of the hard work that you're putting into development and not being able to contribute anything other than donations. It's not a natural thing for me and, I would hope, many others.

Also do you ever sleep, or are you a cyborg that has been developed to write code?  

no no. thats correct. it is 25%. and if you look at the code, once it reaches 25 bil coins it goes to 0 interest. if it somehow goes over 25 bil then it actually destroys coins. but there is other code preventing it from going over. so. (this scnenario of going over should never happen)

yeah... just checked it. if you have a stake that goes over the max money, it does a difference calculation and will give you a negative amount to put it back at max money. (thats only if you are at max money and try to stake more)
if it is at max money, you stake and get 0.

if you are below max money. say its 10 coins short. and you stake. and your stake is supposed to make 20 coins. but that means it will be 10 coins more than max money. then it will deduct 10 so that you will only earn 10 and again, the max money will be the max money in circulation



max_money is also used for some other calculations in transactions. which is why i chose to edit the max coins the way i did



we will be reinstating our MP this weekend. it is currently offline




i think thats everything... any remaining questions?

Awesome, thanks! Would you mind clarifying the annual interest please? If PoW was 18 billion coins, and 25 billion is the max coins, then interest can't be 25% annually ongoing as that's 4.5 billion coins annually. Max coins would be reached in less than 2 years assuming all wallets were open and staking (I know they're not). Is it 25% annually until max coins is reached, then nothing? Or...?

It was really quick. I also left a remark in Allcoin's trollbox (there's still 50 billion).

Nice Catch....Changed!!!

Good observation. Griffith, come and put things in order, please

The TrustedCryptos website says 50 billion in the coin details: Link

My mistake, you're right:

25 billion. OP says truth

Good news!!
return to BTC market, wallet update, new members... im happy, thanks team!
Multipool is available?
ECC still alive
