So I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I made my own vanity address using the normal vanity address generator but using the settings -X 11 (prefix) to gen. my own CGB address. I have the address and privkey. I tried to import the privkey with the console and cryptogenicbulliond but I keep getting the "Wallet is unlocked for minting only. (code -13)" message. How can I import it into the GUI so I can use it properly?

I got to the settings by using help from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Vanitygen

You must have got my post about that the other day about this option and built cryptogenicbulliond with line 86 of src/wallet.cpp set as:

Code:

bool fWalletUnlockMintOnly = true;

instead of:

Code:

bool fWalletUnlockMintOnly = false;

so your wallet is unlocked for minting only. You need to do:

Code:

cryptogenicbulliond walletpassphrase 120
cryptogenicbulliond importprivkey

in order to unlock your wallet fully for 120 seconds, and then import the private key.
Also, I found it is always a good idea to use a label with every address, otherwise you can lose your default address, because it will replace the default "" address.

So what exactly is the reason for the all the orphans on the pools ?

PoS growing pains. Great developers on CGB, will work through it all!!! Also, every pool (I notified flound at multipool but haven't got a reply yet) should update to only the official addnodes (above) and also delete peers.dat and then restart.

Was block subsidy not meant to half around today or so? The current block is around ~136k and isn't it meant to half at around ~145k? Huh

Please clear this up for me Sad

Should halve around Sunday per my estimation. Grin

Your easiest method of calculating, although not 100% due to PoS blocks not being considered is take the block reduction cut off (145k) and subtract the current block (136k) = 9k. Divide this number by 24 (hours in a day) and then again by 60 (minutes in an hour) = 6.25 (estimated days till next halving).

Hey all, any timeline on a fix ?

There's nothing to fix per say, we're analyzing the situation as PoW subsidy halves and PoS block frequency increases and takes over the blockchain, as planned. Once the PoW subsidy reaches the baseline .01, it will be extremely inefficient, since PoS blocks overrule PoW blocks. But the plan from the start was to have CB PoW fully mined and running only on PoS. We have several plans ready to be implemented to assure a lower bound in the PoS block frequency so that we can guarantee the transactions will move. Other than that, these are just growing pains as we analyze the behavior, use testnet on the side to continue to experiment with development ideas, and eventually we'll have the tweaks so that the blockchain is in the sweet spot.

There were several roll backs because of long sequences of PoS blocks. As I said before, we'll tweak the math and analyze the potential for letting PoS takeover, so these are growing pains. When the time comes, we'll modify the PoS when we have enough testnet data to justify it. In the meantime, make sure you have the new addnodes in your config file, as the old ones are useless:

addnode=70.98.114.237
addnode=72.78.100.7
addnode=192.81.209.17
addnode=192.241.222.16
addnode=88.198.184.231
addnode=109.169.220.58
addnode=80.255.6.123
addnode=66.58.170.165
addnode=37.187.9.53

Thanks.

merc, i don't mind to provide a linux binary if you need one.

Hi rewt,

Thanks for the offer. I'm in the middle of moving into my new home in North Carolina and I don't have any of my Linux machines setup yet. I'm afraid I'm a bit of a mess for another day or two. lol

Elambert was going to pm you, and we appreciate the offer.

Cheers,

-Merc

right on i understand how it is. good luck with moving

I'm late to the CGB party and was wondering if is still worth mining with a CPU either solo or pool? Or you just need a few good GPUs?
If you are still finding blocks solo, what is your hashrate?

Thanks in advance. Wink

Consistently in the top five most profitable scrypt coins to mine.

Network hashrate is steady in the 400-500mh range.

I cpu will work but if you have a good gpu then obviously that's better.

Solo blocks will not be easy with anything under 1mh.

Thanks for your interest!

-Merc

Thanks for your prompt reply. I get it need some GPUs if I want to mine. Wink

To be sure the new checkpoint/seed info is being used by your client, the block chain and peers data need to be downloaded anew.

If you are getting the "checkpoints too old" message, then you must definitely do this.

Close your client and go to your AppData/Roaming/CryptogenicBullion folder and delete the following files:

blk001.dat

blkindex.dat

peers.dat

Do not touch any other file, especially the wallet.dat file, or else you'll lose ALL your coins!

Restart your client and you'll see the blockchain download from start. Don't be alarmed if your coins are unconfirmed. Your wallet balance will return to the expected value once the blockchain has downloaded completely and the wallet is in sync.
-Merc

Did this. It worked. Coins reconfirmed after about 15 mins of downloading.
