i understand the coin control aspect, but not really how the blocks are weighted.  Do i do better with 2x 1000 coins, 4x 500 coins or 20x 100 coins?

Keep in mind that the message that displays the likelihood of staking within X amount of time is a snapshot of that exact moment and reflects the mature coins of that exact moment only. The chance of staking could possibly be much, much higher even an hour or a minute later, depending upon when one's immature coins mature and the stakeweight of other coins on the network, which also can change a great deal from block to block. Old wallets with old coins come online, others go offline, etc.

question about stake management.  Is it worth creating a second wallet file for stake, or can i just create another address in default for stake, and then transfer coins there, and then when they stake, move the dust out, and back in larger chunks?

And what is the preferred size of the blocks, right now I'm using 1000 coin transfers?  I read something that you want to reduce the CPU usage, is my goal...

I created multiple wallets, one for trading another two wallets labeled reserve. My default wallet says I have a 50% chance of producing a stake every 57 min while the others say days, I did create the alternate wallets about a month ago.

May the force bit with you.
I was once again able to start HoboNickels-qt with git-952ef63b599b, no more assert failures in GetStakeModifierChecksum.
Or is it just a coincidence?


Glad to hear. Its a good idea to stop the client and take a copy of blk0001.dat and txleveldb, so if something happens in the future you are able to get up to speed quickly!

Okay so I tried to combine some of my coins for the first time as I'm starting to have a ton of small chunks of coin. Fortunately I just did a small trial with coin control to start. I selected a few small pieces that added up to about 5 HBN (using coin control) and I sent them to a second wallet I created. The outbound transaction shows in my main wallet and it shows as an inbound transaction in my secondary wallet but there are no confirmations showing up and when I hover over the outbound transaction in my main wallet it says "offline (0 confirmations.)

What the heck does that mean?

Does the transaction show up on the block explorer?   Were you fully up to sync when you combined? You might try to do the menu wallet->checkwallet to see if there are any issues.

Well, I was online and fully synced at the time. It eventually confirmed and went through so frankly I have no idea what happened.

The wallet will resend unconfirmed transactions periodically. So that might have been it.

There is a rpc command resendtx will force it to resend(currently broken will be fixed in v1.5)

Kind of weird...  I just tried opening the HBN client to transfer some loot and it crashed with and 'error opening blkindex.dat.  On further inspection there is no blkindex.dat anywhere in the AppData/Roaming/Hobonickels folder.  Wonder what happened to it??  Huh

I don't have blkindex.dat either, but my clients loads and syncs fine. What version of the client are you running and what OS?
Windows 8.1 64bit & HBN 1.4.0.1 (latest)

It has been working just fine until now.  Anyway I just deleted everything (but the wallet  Grin) and have started the download of the blockchain again.  That is interesting you don't have that file either, I guess that is by design, I just assumed it was missing because every other coin I have has that file in the root folder.

Sorry about this, it is a bad error message. When you open 1.4.0.1 for the first time, it attempts to upgrade your index. The index used to be blkindex.dat, but now it is kept in files in the txleveldb directory.  1.4.0.1 adds the block hash to the index, this will decrease start up time quite a bit.

You can also check this page, get up to speed faster.

Sounds like your wallet client was not connected properly to the network when you sent the coins.  So the transaction was never broadcast to the block chain and network. See what the repair wallet button will do.

Did you payed tx fee? I'm usually send coins within one wallet just to another address, and the client says that they were sent to myself (as it should be) and of course even such transaction must be confirmed by the network.
