Topic: HoboNickels - HBN - High Fast Stake - Version 2.0! More Secure, Less Intensive - page 132. (Read 478852 times)

I've read a couple of recent muck-spreading articles about Cryptsy, largely based upon rumour. The articles were overly-biased against Cryptsy. I'm sure most of you are aware of them. Hardly impartial journalism. There was much presumption and very little fact - and presumption being pushed forward as fact. I believe that Cryptsy is being targeted by unscrupulous people - possibly even bankers/criminal elements. DDos attacks, spamming with micro-amounts, rumours etc. Here's what Paul Vernon has to say:

HBN has been around so long , isnt it time for it to move to Bittrex? I mean I cant imagine Bittrex not accepting HBN.

wow, i had no idea, thanks

ha ok , i didn't check the list,  i tried with the search  hbn it didn't find it

That is mostly going to impact CPU consumption, memory will stay about the same. As far as I have learned, an old chain with too many blocks coming in (more than 1 per minute) will consume a large amount of memory due to several different std::map that are stored in ram. Fuzzbawls and a few others are working hard to fix this on MintCoin, best to watch the progress there.

You can submit a request by rewriting this to HBN code

Any movement on the wonder-not-fully huge memory draw?

I tried it a while go but there was no volume.
I will go back and hopefully we will have 2 active exchanges

Re Cryptopia: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/

It is not only Bitcoin/HBN - they are all there!
Here's what to do:
Log in > click on 'Exchange' - true you will see Bitcoin as the default on the base markets menu, but if you click on the other base markets in the drop down menu, you will find that they are all there. Click on any of the above mentioned base coins and you will see active trading with HoboNickels and many other altcoins. Yesterday, I successfully traded Dogecoin for some HoboNickels at a ridiculous price on Cryptopia.

They also have an interesting arbitrage page which compares the prices of altcoins on some well-established exchanges, including Cryptsy.

If they need more traders, then let's get on over there and do some trading. That's how the wild west was won!

no you are wrong

it s only Bitcoin/HBN

but need more traders

If you are looking for exchanges that have HoboNickels listed try Cryptopia: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/

Cryptopia has been around since 2014. Besides HoboNickels, Cryptopia has a large selection of altcoins and gives me the impression that it is really trying. There is a lot going on there.

HoboNickels are listed in six altcoin markets on Cryptopia:

• Bitcoin/HBN
• Litecoin/HBN
• Dogecoin/HBN
• Feathercoin/HBN
• Popularcoin/HBN
• Unobtanium/HBN

... so there are plenty of opportunities for arbitraging!

Cryptopia is based in New Zealand, which means that it is less prone to US regulation and clampdowns. I still like Cryptsy, but they are currently going through some turbulence. Cryptopia could become a good standby if Cryptsy, God forbid, goes down for any reason. Cryptopia deserves to succeed IMO.

Airlift some BTC, HBN and other altcoins over there and let's give them some custom!  

same problem ,  i had to withdraw 4 times to complete it
i already report it to cryptsy 2 weeks ago
it works a few days and it happen again after

probleme is also we pay lot more fees , more than double (1st time i had the problem no fees was count  but now it is)


so and why is this coin not on other exchange , to good for yobit ? 

Their replies might as well have been cut and pasted from the CAP
replies I received when CAP had the problem some months back.

The good news, it took a while but eventually their "wallet specialist"
got it fixed.

Not impressed by Cryptsy at all. They knew about the problem from previous users. I got fed of waiting for them to give me the all-clear and successfully withdrew my HBN with a series of smaller withdrawals.

It occurs to me that the fact that the HoboNickels blockchain is becoming bloated could be largely due to the large number of small amounts tucked away in Cryptsy wallets - either intentionally, or by couldn't-care-less-ness.

Yes, I'm angry!

18th October UPDATE: I have since withdrew a moderately sizeable quatity of HBN from Cryptsy and the transaction went through very quickly with no problems. Looks like the withdrawal issue has been sorted out at least for now.

Spot on! I've just received this email from Cryptsy:

"Hello J,

Thank you for contacting us about this issue.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you.
It appears that our wallet has many inputs built up in HBN
so the withdrawals get chopped to a size that is able to fit into the block chain.
I have informed our wallet specialist who will begin to merge inputs on HBN this way
the withdrawals will no longer be chopped in half to fit into a block.
Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this matter.

 Sincerely,
 
Joyce"

Let's hope that they take on board what you suggest, and that this does the trick.

HBN and other pos wallets at crypts likely do get very bloated as many stakers send a small amount of each stake to cryptsy.  In contrast most buys are much larger in relation and that makes for large transaction sizes.  Crypts should be more proactive in combining blocks to larger sizes often so the problem is no so often encountered by buyers withdrawing large amounts.

I have mixed feelings about Cryptsy. In the past I've been both critical and supportive of them. I like the way Cryptsy have pushed the boundaries and, in Paul Vernon, they have someone upfront who strikes me as being pretty decent. However, there seems to be an issue in withdrawing large amounts of POS coins, which is happening far too regularly for comfort.

Cryptsy have sent me two emails telling me that my issue has been resolved. I tried again to withdraw, but only a fraction of what I requested came through. Here is my reply to Cryptsy:

"I have received two emails from you telling me that the issue has been resolved. The issue has not been resolved. I tried to send the rest of the HBN I hold on Cryptsy to my desktop wallet, but the same thing has happened. Only a quarter of the requested amount was sent. At first it was a half of the full amount; then a quarter of the remaing half; then a quarter of the remaining three quarters.

Whilst the fractional amounts have come through to my desktop wallet, the issue of subverting my requested amounts is continuing. I originally requested the full withdrawal amount to be sent. So far I have made three requests to withdraw one amount. Each request has cost me:

• the withdrawal fee of 0.00200000 + 0.50% HBN;
• lost POS interest for the delay in sending me the full amount; and
• time which is valuable to me.

I have taken screen shots and have reported the incident on the HoboNickels Bitcointalk thread. Others have confirmed that the same thing has happened to them. This is not the first time this type of thing has happened to me either. Previously, when I have tried to withdraw large amounts of another POS coin, it threw your system wallets into maintenance mode for a long period of time - losing myself and others a considerable amount of lost POS interest.

With regards to the current problem, I have two questions: what algorithm (linearly descending vector) in your software sends half, or quarter amounts of the remainders instead of the full amount requested? And why?"

Whether it is a person, or algorithm doing this, I believe it to be important to get to the bottom of this issue and prevent it from happening again. It makes you wonder whether Cryptsy have run out of enough HBN to send to cover large buys.

Yes, I mentioned I was charged 2 - 4 times but did not get refunded.
They gave me a couple Cryptsy Ponits which are very valuable (not)

Same here. Annoying but in the end, you don't lose any coins. Just takes some extra effort.

Do check the amount of withdrawal fee you pay. It happened to me that I had to pay 0,5% fee and only got half the amount sent to me resulting in an actual fee of 1%. I mentioned it to cryptsy and got the excess fee refunded.

 

I had that happen a lot on CAP.
Would take 4-5 w/d's to get the amount
I wanted in 1 w/d.

They explained that the # of transactions in their wallet
gets so large that it slows things down and the break w/d's to
smaller amounts. They eventually fixed it. Now sounds like it's
time to fix the HBN wallet.

takes several tickets complaining. but, they will then get to it.
