The open source CCE 4.0 repository is now up:

https://github.com/cryptocoinexplorer/Open-Source-CCE-4.0

The example server will be up this weekend.

The open source CCE 4.0 package is a very basic version.

The web server is simple and mostly text based. The API only has 2 simple commands. It is not meant as an example of what the production version on CCE will be like, but rather a foundation for others to build on.

The database loader is also just a base version of the production version.

I cannot give away all my secrets.  Wink

Can someone share a node or two?  Client isn't finding any peers at the moment.

You should be able to grab some nodes from here:

http://hbn.blockx.info/connected-nodes

e.g:

Code:
addnode=[2001:41d0:1:f2b5::1]
addnode=91.121.177.181
addnode=204.11.237.233
addnode=176.9.140.183
addnode=176.9.63.136
addnode=94.23.29.195
addnode=104.236.252.34
addnode=[2001:41d0:1:f2b5::1]
addnode=91.121.177.181
addnode=72.52.131.70

I have a question I need to pose to the users of POS chains.

When accounting for the number of transactions on an address, would you consider the address on a POS stake TX to have one or two transactions?

I can see it both ways.

Technically, it appears to be one transaction as it is one transaction hash.

However, the address is in both the TXIN and TXOUT in the transaction, so the argument can me made that it should count as two.

How do you think an explorer should count it?


Nothing to do with you question, but can you please take a look at how you get actual balance of an address?
At this time, i have 21150 hbn
On your explorer, it report 21745 (+595 from reallity) and diff keep raising over time.
But on hbn.blockx.info my balance is right there  Roll Eyes

http://hbn.blockx.info/address/ErmqaiunrcguMEhpDP5uqEQhRKmn3oViWv

You can compare both.

I did not realize its scope of this issue until recently.

I posted an explanation here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11267668

As I posted, it starts to show up more as the number of account transactions start to go in the thousands.

It appears the difference between in the numbers quoted above is about 2%. That would be within the realm of rounding differences with a large amount of transactions.

The next version of CCE (CCE 4.0) corrects this issue.  Smiley

It's great to hear about moves to improve what is already, in my opinion, one of the best coins available. I I know most are interested in just minting the POS interest at the moment, but looking to the future, I'm wondering how Hobonickels could be used in the real world as a form of barter. Perhaps there are practical things each one of us could do such as spreading the word to communities and groups who could benefit by using HBN. At some point we should do some brainstorming and maybe form an informal group to look at marketing the use of Hobonickels.

You could use the MarketPlace at cryptopia to place items for sell only accepting Hobonickels as payment, or place ads will mow yard for hobonickels or programming software to help get a Hobo barter system started.

Put a commit on github today.
https://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels/commit/f46fa0c32d33ffd6194cc5f2c994a2d62081a7d4
Code:
 Update split/combine threshold
Up the max to 100/200 as startup, and added rpc commands, which allow
the default max, or wallet balance divided by 250

I am going to look at a few of the bugs with s4c, and see if I can get those fixed up. If I can do that in a reasonable timeframe. I'll officially release 1.5.1.0. If not I'll compile this small change and release 1.5.0.1


Really great. Thanks a million. As for bugs with S4C, I haven't noticed any lately. Only when I had the huge blocks the automatic selection of with block to send the S4C from wasn't perfect but no one has big blocks anymore since the max stake reward was introduced.

But thanks again, the splitthreshold dependency on wallet size really works well with bottlecaps and I am looking forward using it with HBN as well!

I haven't noticed any bugs either and my latest POS minting, earlier today, worked like a dream ... pop ... pop ... pop, one after another. I've experimented with large and small block sizes, and large and small numbers of blocks. If the weight is there, POS interest happens fairly quickly. On large block sizes e.g. <7,000, I wait a day over maturation (10 days + 1). On smaller blocks (200-500), three to five days over maturation. That seems to work well for me. However, when there are a very large number of blocks, full POS minting can be spread over the best part of a full day. Interestingly, smaller blocks (e.g. 250) can sometimes be quicker to mint than larger blocks (e.g. 500), even though the larger blocks were established slightly earlier than the smaller blocks.

It's great to hear about moves to improve what is already, in my opinion, one of the best coins available. I I know most are interested in just minting the POS interest at the moment, but looking to the future, I'm wondering how Hobonickels could be used in the real world as a form of barter.

Concerning the CCE explorer at: hbn.cryptocoinexplorer.com

The new database loader has been patched into all the explorers and restart tests were done over the last few days.

...

There are so many options being added to CCE 4 that most likely it will be offered in a tiered format. From very basic free explorers (text like with only a couple, if any, API commands) with advertisement type funding to a top tier with things like blockchain downloads updated weekly, coin client downloads, user accounts, advanced API features for statistics and "lite" clients , user and developer explorer customizations, coin website hosting and much more. Much of this is covered in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptocoin-explorer-version-40-development-announcement-922521
Once a larger chunk of the new features is finalized, I will  post them in the CCE 4.0 thread. Please offer any ideas for features you might want in that thread.

...

I like some of the additional features. Those sound very cool.

Seeing high CPU utilization while staking...80+ % on a core2 laptop. If I combine smaller blocks into fewer larger blocks will this bring down cpu usage? What else can I do?

You can also set the "Affinity" and only allow the process to use 1 cpu.

Is it normal while staking to have upwards of 700k weight?

I'd like to reiterate I am still wondering about this. I am over 1 Million weight and have quite a few blocks of 500+ sitting at 30+ days age. Wondering if this is normal or not? Should I be coming into blocks of 1000+?

That is a bit odd, you should be staking those 500 pretty darn quick. My oldest is 14 days, and that is 160 in size.  My weight is 170k.

Are you getting many orphans? Are you getting some good stakes? Which client are you using?



170 when I repaired just now. Not too many I suppose. Most of mine anywhere from 1-20 chunks with some bigger ones in there. At this point I just want to have it combine into blocks that stake ~100 hbn at a time. Using client v1.5.0.0-gd677d58e-V1.5. I can screenshot it if you would like. I mine on 2 computers, 1 is 24/7 with 1 cpu, other is like 8 hours a day on 6 cpus.

New message on my client today. WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers.

If you have a lot of little blocks, those could be getting in the way of the bigger blocks. I think combining the little blocks is a good idea.

That message should go away now, on your next restart.

Thanks. I do have something like 4250+ in the coin control menu. I assume that's a bit too many blocks of HBN.

I was looking at all of the updates for 1.5 and came across coinstake updates. Would this help solve my problem? If i read this correctly it can automatically group blocks together after a successful staking.
-splitthreshold=    " + _("Set stake split threshold within range (default 5),(max 20))")
-combinethreshold=  " + _("Set stake combine threshold within range (default 5),(max 20))")

Is that max set in stone? I feel like if my blocks could automatically lump into 200+ blocks I would be fine. How does one go about using startup switches like this?

To use a startup swtich you can just create a .bat file and run the following.

Code:
start HoboNickels.exe -splitthreshold=99 -combinethreshold=100

You can also put them in your .conf file.

I will be updating the code and releasing a new version that will allow for higher threshold checks, similar to bottlecaps. I may get to it tonight, or at least this week.

To best of my understanding on HBN.
Only options are to combine smaller blocks into larger blocks with the same PC to reduce CPU %.
For HBN a recommended block size is ~3000 HBN per block, according to this post
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303749.msg10250077;topicseen#msg10250077
To stay under HBN's max reward limit per block of 250 .
CPU with more processor cores is currently the only other way, if you keep the same # of blocks.
Would try to combine blocks after they stake so you don't lose much time.
Up to 3000 HBN per block.

 Cool
