Does anyone have the approximate best height of HBN? I was under the impression that it is currently 2m+ blocks correct? Still have a server dedicated to HBN only bootstrapping nonstop trying to catch up. right now it is around 1.4m blocks in. I am assuming it is taking long because HBN uses scrypt which is a bit harder to hash than some of the other algos.

FYI, it's taken about 2 days for me to fully sync from scratch when I moved to a new computer.  HBN has been quite the resource hog.

2 day for a 3+ year old coin, is really not bad, especially looking at one that is 30 second block time. You must have a fairly fast computer.  I still don't have an answer for the amount of ram that the daemon uses. But I am beginning some research into it.  CPU is pretty low, just keep your block sizes large and use the auto combine you should be in good shape.

actually cpu for hbn is the highest i have

it us 45% of my cpu  old athlon x2 4200+
i m running 8 POS wallets on it, possible to add 1 more   with 8 giga ram
cpu usage 95% average  ram 5.35 giga used


second wallet runing on a p4 3ghz  4gig ram    5 POS wallets  running
80% cpu usage , ram 2.8giga used
same probleme hbn using mostly 1 core on it s own and more than 1 giga of ram

so could be great if it use half less resources

for downloading the blockchaine it s very to slow
even if i add 2 local wallets as node  it s downloading at very low speed  a few kb/s

better manually copy the blockchaine for a computer to an other

I've moved to a quad core i7 and ssd for my coin server.  The dual core xenon server cpu wasn't doing it anymore... relegated it to media serving through plex.

I manually combine to ~7-8k block size which has helped a lot... but I made sure to build it with 32GB of RAM...

32!  Shocked

My main is 16 and even with 3-4 coins + web stuff I still have 50% free.

memory is cheap now... I remember the days of 1MB being huge...  I had two 512K sticks and thought I was the shit...

=== NODE IS OK! ==
currently the diff is below 10 for HBN
so... mine !

"proof-of-work" : 18.09070715,

haha, that's ridiculously low

how to use the auto combine feature?


in console type command combinethreshold 1000 ( it will set the maximum it will be probably less than 1000 , seems like it can be up to 0.3% of total amount of coins in wallet)

you may set up in same manner splitthreshold command

Question for someone who has the knowledge on POS / POW.

What happens when the hashing becomes so low on POW that POS is the only thing securing the coins? Is this a likely event? How secure would the system be then? Can the coin survive solely on POS in a secure manner?

Yes a coin can survive just on PoS. It can be secure, depending on how much coin weight the network has. I still have no plans to remove PoW. Will reevaluate as time goes on.

Appreciate the response kiklo and tranz. Was not suggesting we remove it, was just curious. I noticed low CAPS hashrate and was hoping it wouldn't matter too much.

maybe we could add cryptopia  on the homepage of hobonickels.info   it only show cryptsy

yes I am going to update the home page and wiki. I have done the OP of here and CCT.  Was waiting for PT to finalize the block explorer and do them both together.
