sigh...this has been such a painful blockchain sync. I'm running 1.4.0.1, have had checkpoint warnings off and on throughout the sync, which I assume are ok for now, seems all my peers are on older versions, and its been going > 24hrs now and still ~60k blocks to go. I've got a bad feeling its not going to be legit when its done, either.

Attempted using the linked blockchain from April 6th (or whenever), but it just started at block 0 anyways. Maybe I'll revisit that again if this ends up not working out as it is.

I've been getting the pi to re-sync. So far 3 days in at 670k. Most of the issue seems to be with new check points coming in and causing a slow down by searching for orphans.. I shut down at 400k and take a snapshot, just in case. Don't worry about checkpoints until you are 100%. Then a quick shutdown/snapshot/restart as a quick procedure to make sure all is good.

I think we need a few fast dedicated seed nodes out there as well.

Bootstrapping is quickly being the fastest method.

I'm doing a research project on coin distribution for both older and new coins. I'm interested on gathering some data for top addresses and how much of the coins the top100 have. This along with the number of people (addresses) actually holding any amount of coins.

I have some info from bitinfocharts on a few coins but I really do need some data on other coins along with less exposed or new ones.

If anyone knows an explorer with this feature drop a line.

HoboNickels: hbn.blockx.info | MintCoin: mint.blockx.info | FairCoin: fac.blockx.info | GrowthCoin: grw.blockx.info

click the richlist. you will find the information you need for these particular coins there.

Thanks to unick for hosting and maintaining these block explorers.

please feel free to donate some BTC to unick here: 1AAYAZgaz2me7hyumexUZzcyGRZEYtCx5C

It is a long proccess, It took me 26 hours to re-sync. It took 2 tries because my server crashed on the first run, corruptin the blk0001.dat file (I was halfway through Angry

).

Don't worry about the "checkpoint too old" message. It's because at some point in the sync, the checkpoint of that perticular block the client is at is too old, but it gets fixed as soon as it continues to sync with the network.

If you could download from the link Tranz posted, it should take a few minutes to download, if not, then just be patient, you'll get there Wink

I asked Hash Cows about it I'll let you know if they respond favorably. They just added zeit and some other coin so now that's 3 they allow payout in, can't see why adding HBN would be a problem.

For me it may be the volume, if you want to buy a "lot" of HBN "right now", there is not that much offer to do so...

then the laws of supply and demand kick in. If you need to pay higher prices to fill orders let it be so. It just means that HBN is actually much more valuable then it is now. Limiting mulitpools to coins like MINT, ECC or ZEIT doesn't make sense because percentage-wise, they can move just as much if not more than HBN.

Good news. After fixing a small issue with the Pi, it staked quite easily within 10 minuets of 1500 coins at 20 days weight, after getting up to current.

https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/8233-pihobonickels/

I am considering loading up a few of these bad boys with version 1.4.0.1 and some coins, and selling them. Fast load time, easy staking, should be perfect for the pi. If you are interested in buying or helping, let me know.

i'd be interested! hell ya, great use for a pi

By Multipool I assume you guys mean, mine the most profitable coin and then dump it for HBN?

Yes I think Meska would be the one to hit up for that

Hash Cows already has a multipool up and running that does this, and they added mint due to many requests from that community. They have talked about adding more payout coin options based on interest/demand. If enough people asked about hbn, they could easily "add" this with a very small amount of work.

The more I think of it, what has been done in FairCoin is an address swapping mechanism, they use http://wafflepool.com/ (witch pays in BTC). So if you swap the HBN address for a BTC address and use wafflepool's infrastructure, then when the amount of BTC is big enough, you buy HBN and then distribute it back to the matching HBN address.

I think it's brilliant and could be done fairly quickly. at least it could be a start.

That's the system the Zeitcoin devs implemented yesterday. The price has since doubled. Though to be fair, it did double from extremely low levels.

It seems to be a good system to create demand.

I don't know how it's going to play out for HBN, but it is extremely hard to mine this coin, so this could help people that want to mine their way in at much bigger scale since the supply comes from the market. Plus it's could create a nicer liquidity those PoS block looking to be sold.

(Sorry unick, I didn't understood your PM, but now I get it) Wink

So for me the trouble of this kind of multipool, with payout in HBN, is the fact there is not that much "offer" in the "selling" part.
From MY point of view, I'm also a bit afraid with the responsability.
Let's say we have generated 1 BTC. And I have to change them for HBN, at the current price (0.00032099), it's around 3000 HBN. But there is no one selling that amount before 0.00037201. So it's a big "price" responsability to do it, and I don't really like it.
Other way to see it, there will be more people selling their HBN, so maybe more SELL orders...

Currently, I'm putting my crapy miners (dedicated servers ~10Kh :p) on hashco.ws who allow me to get paid in MINT. It's not much, but it's still some staking coins.

For me the big trouble will still be the "buy some HBN from BTC (or any other currency)".
But unick, if you want to try something with me, why not. You have an awesome hashrate, so maybe we can start some tries with a new pool just the two of us to see what we can mine (I can bring also some friends to start it and see how it works)

I am willing to throw hashes at a multipool that pays out in HBN. The way I see it, the multipool will help push the price high enough to the point where other miners will start PoW mining HBN to sell for BTC. From these PoW HBN miners is where the HBN multipool will find its liquidity. Its possible that the HBN multipool will send the price of HBN to not only the moon, but past Pluto and into the delta quadrant. how is that ever a bad thing? this multipool will help HBN in price discovery and give HBN its true value, which I feel is more than what it is now.

HBN Multipool : HBN investors/traders/miners - buys from regular multipool miners.
Regular Multipool: BTC miners - Sells HBN to HBN multipool miners in exchange for BTC.

Coins with multipools are doing over 100 BTC/24 hour in volume over at mintpal. look at ZEIT, ECC and BC. Now imagine HBN doing that kind of volume, trust me the price will go to orbit because of the number of coins available.

They will feed each other liquidity. If this multipool happens then it gives me another reason to pull the trigger on a couple gridseed blades.

Holy crap, the load time of 1.4.0.1 was under 5 sec on first load!!!
Grin

I am re-syncing the block chain, will check load time afterwards.

EDIT: full block chain loaded it took 14 seconds ... not bad at all Grin

Thanks for this amazing fix Tranz, this will help the community a lot! Wink

You can get the mac compile here. http://hbn.blockx.info/hobonickels-1.4.0.1-macosx.dmg

I know the build might crash on your computer, I tested on 4 different Macs and anything I build fails on my mid 2010 iMac... I'm not sure what the problem is.

So please DO REPORT THE CRASH here, it will help figure out what the problems is.
