May the force bit with you.
    Ninjarobot, thanks for the feedback, see below

I switched back to 1.4.0.1 for now.

reasons:

  • The last few days a lot of my staking coins ended up in change addresses.
As the S4C is sent, the remainder of the block is sent to a randomly selected change address. PressF1 has also stated he would like to custom address be selectable for S4C. This is in my plans but for now it is not ready.
  • Trying to consolidate coins back from change addresses to the original stake address using coin control would fail with "The amount exceeds your balance"
    (even though my transfer amount was smaller than the selected inputs - fees)
This I am not so sure about, and is not something I have seen. Perhaps some discrepancy between the wallet.dat and the wallet index(database)
  • S4C would sometimes send the transaction twice (double the amount)
If the block that triggers the S4C does not get  accepted, and you get a new block(re-org), this is possible. It seems to be very low occurrence, but is something I am looking for a solution to.
  • S4C would sometimes stop working even though enabled (no S4C transactions)
Not sure here, was this after a restart of the client, or while it was running for a while?
[/list]

I was a bit worried that switching back to 1.4.0.1 would cause wallet compatibility issues but it worked fine and I was able to consolidate my coins into a single staking address again.

Tranz, was able to successfully add the latest S4C changes to HyperStake! Thanks for all your good work.  Should we update the daemon makefiles as well?

Glad to hear it, your start to the gui helped quite a bit, so thank you too.

I don't believe these changes require updates to other make files, as the dialog pages would only effect the qt client. Although to be honest I haven't tried a daemon compile in a while. So if you find out differently just let me know..

Tranz, how can i see S4C transactions?? I activated S4C but i don't know if it's working.

They will show up in the transaction page after the send goes through. You can see where and how much you are giving my clicking on the Stake For Charity tab, or the Network->Extended PoS Information menu option.


Well, i am using beta 2 wallet, in S4C tab i see a green text "Thank you giving.....", in Extended PoS Info tab i can also see percentage and S4C address. But i had 2 PoS blocks yesterday and there are no S4C transactions in my list.


Did you set any values for the min/max boxes in the S4C tab?  I have S4C set to 50% with min = 2.  If 50% of the stake is less than what I have set in the min box then the S4C will not split that stake transaction.  Believe the default value for the min box = 0.

Correct.
By default Min is the MIN_TX_AMT which is .0001. Max is MAX_MONEY_SUPPLY which is 120MM ;-)

You won't see them as S4C, unless you have them labeled that way. They will only show up as normal send transactions. If they are not showing up, it could be the min/max value (if set) preventing them from sending. As Crypto_chellie suggested.

Hi Tranz, do you have any best guess what date the eventual hard fork will be?  

Nov/Dec most likely. Not hard date yet. I still have a bit more work to do before I code up the hard fork. I have been busy with other things the last few days haven't had much time to code.


Why add that max stake? Does the larger block bog down the network? I constantly refold my blocks in to prevent thousands of sub 1 HBN stakes. I'm not quite at the 25k HBN block yet, but I recently made a 20k block.

The main reason is to incentive people to stake on a daily basis rather then only a few times with large blocks. Mostly it would be to prevent someone from simply holding thousands of coins offline, and then bring them back online after a long time and get a very large reward, for doing almost no network protection.

NO, you get it wrong. This is MAX reward for a POS block. So if you have blocks < 20k HBN you should be fine.

thanks for the explanation

"5) Add a max stake value of 500 coins."

Does this mean that holding blocks of more than 500 coins will not generate bigger stake?

Hey Tranz, looking forward to trying out HBN 1.5 beta, will give it a go next week.

I was wondering, and vaguely recall reading some mention of a hard fork coming when 1.5 is finished. Is this still planned/ accurate?

I haven't gone through a hard fork yet with any coins I use. Is there anything to concerned about it (i.e any chance of losing coins?) or is it pretty safe except for those people that are using really older clients ?

Thanks for your continued work on this great coin.  

Thanks Glendall, always good to hear from you. Please let me know your thoughts on the beta 2.

Regrading the hard fork, yes it will be part of the final 1.5 version.  

As with all hard forks, any coins you have pre-fork are safe and shouldn't be lost.  The worst thing that can happen is a side chain can form with clients who didn't update in time. Their old coins again would be safe, but new coins, PoW or PoS mined, would not be valid on the correct fork, once they got back on the right chain.

Most of this will be mitigated with alerts being sent to old versions well in advance, and the the automated block checkpoints being issued.  But there is likely to be some chaos. Hopefully it is minor..




trying beta 2 - works flawless for me!
why hard fork required in 1.5 final?
Thank you

See here: https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/13199-preparing-hbn-v15/

Mostly these are for fixes or to close attack vectors.
