Hey I just wanted to let every know I will be releasing v1.4 tonight. To fix the open ssl bug. I would suggest everyone upgrade ASAP.

There was some more things I wanted to get done, but we'll be working on it for v1.5 along with some hard forks. Big discussion later.

After trying for days to get a windows exe from source code, I am going to be very happy to see this!

One more comment.

At http://hobonickels.info/ there is info that HBN are currently traded on two exchanges: Atomic Trade and Cryptsy, but I didnt find HBN at Atomic Trade, but they are traded on coinex.pw

May be somebody have more info where else our little hobos are currently listed?

I was chatting with ByronP at Atomic Trade last night and he told me that HBN is temporarily taken off of Atomic due to low trading activity there, and the resource usage of HBN. If faststaker reduces resource usage enough then it will be readded to the exchange. I will take them off the site for now, but the may be back soon.

Concerning coinex.pw, I have heard they are not allowing withdrawals, so have left them off for now. If you are able to successfully withdraw HBN then let me know and I will add them back on.

You mean this bug "News: ♦♦ A bug in OpenSSL, used by Bitcoin-Qt/Bitcoin Core, could allow your bitcoins to be stolen. Immediately updating Bitcoin Core to 0.9.1 is required in some cases, especially if you're using 0.9.0."?

Exciting news, then !
Your wallet work is particularly impressive: that would have been a daunting task for some developers.

I have been a supporter (and holder) of a number of PoS coins over some time, and have watched them develop (for better and worse in some cases) with interest. We will no doubt get a lot of varying viewpoints in the run-up to hard forks.

I bet if you had combined blocks your pent 4 would have been fine.

OK, thanks for the info. .. Maybe it is a silly question, but this got me wondering:

If I have the same addresses in wallets open on different machines at the same time, would the faster CPU get all the stake ? .. or would there be any other curious consequences ?

Your wallets would create a worm hole and be sucked into an alternate dimension!

I would guess you would see a lot of orphans, and would likely be not very efficient

I have some different minting problems (all stakes are now rejected) as per my posts in this thread....I am not sure if any of the other problems are related...Confused !

Well lets go over a few things.

1) What os and version?
2) What wallet version?
3) Are you up to speed with the block chain?
4) Is the gui responsive?
5) Is your computer clock correct?
6) have you tried starting with -reservebalance=1000 where 1000 is 1/2 your coins?

Thanks for the response: Now I seem to have solved the issues, by creating a fresh instal on a different machine. I believe the CPU performance may be the issue on other machines. All are Win7, 1.3.1, other things check out of course (except res. bal which I didn't try)

I was using an AMD Athlon, then an alternative, and now an Athlon 2 Quad Core, but I now realise that the alternative machine had only an old Pentium 4 !

I have about 40 QT wallets for different coins, but mostly they are installed on better machines . Now I will make sure HBN runs on something suitable.

Incidentally it might be instructive to note that the Pentium 4 seemed to cope well until just a few weeks ago.

Just a consequence of having 14 computers kicking around over 10 years, and losing track of the specs. and upgrades !

I bet if yo uhad combined blocks your pent 4 would have been find.

Someone at cryptsy dont like NVC much)

I like wiki's story more http://wiki.hobonickels.info/index.php?title=History_of_HoboNickels
"..on the family tree of coins, Bitcoin would be HBN's great grandfather, PeerCoin the grandfather, NovaCoin the father, and similar coins like BottleCaps and BitGem are siblings."

And Tranz the holyfather)

Thanks for maintaining HBN.

You are welcome. Hopefully things settle down here soon.

I have been making some headway into the assert failures. Essentially some of the blocks are missing from the index. I still don't know the root cause for this. As it appears to be somewhat random? But I am continuing investigation into this issue.

Keeping a running backup of the txleveldb folder and blk???.dat files should help. As you can quickly use a slightly older version, and then re download the missing blocks.

I'll put up weekly zips of the files so others won't have to re download the block chain many times.

Plus after you have a working backup you can always use that to catchup to current quickly.

Hello all. I have been trying to get my hobo wallet to work for a while now and I now have a simple workaround!

I'm working with Tranz to fix and will let you know shortly. Are there alot of people with assertion failed errors? That's the error that i've been dealing with in my Windows 7 setup. I'm glad to have finally solved the problem and minting is working flawlessly as it should.

I would like to know your workaround as well. I don't have any problems with my machines, but I am curious.

You mean you keep getting orphan PoS blocks? How many blocks do you currently have in your client that have a weight over 0??

I have been holding HBN for over 6 months now, and the staking was working quite well (always a few orphans while synching up) until about a week ago. Since then my wallet has attempted to stake over 40 blocks, with only one having been accepted on the network. I noticed that there was frequently one confirmation, with the stake block being transferred into unconfirmed, only to be transferred out again, and the stake lost, rather strange.

I was using Windows QT 1.3.0, then 1.3.1, and have also tried 1.3.6 .. Synching seems very slow as well (taken 28 hours to download the whole blockchain). I am opening the wallet for long periods, but shut down every now and then (at least once a day).

Any suggestions welcomed !

I had a look at Coin Control. as there are only 266 blocks in the wallet, I would guess combining will not help ?

The wallet is no longer updating the transaction list. The last one was on 6 April. Since then stake has showed up as incoming, with the relevant mother block being transferred to the unconfirmed balance briefly, before being transferred back and the stake lost: now without any record of that showing in the transaction list.

This is 1.3.6 , with a fresh download of the blockchain (which took 28 hours)

I have a wallet (windows 1.3.0.0). Can not synchronize - lags 7 hours.

Great good ideas, soap box or not.

I know there is workforcrypto, website. But I can see snagging a site like www.angieslist.com would be very cool. Ebay has already warmed up to cryptos. So find a way to spread the word..

Regarding the college idea, I also like this. I can't find the time to oversee projects of these types, but if you feel passionate about it, see what you can do!

It would require a bit of work. But 10-20 hours a week for 6 months, you could have something pretty big!

Hey Tranz, great work as always - do you have any news about hbn like any adoption efforts, marketing etc? I am just curious. I am holding (and POS-ing) long term, I'm naturally interested in long-term value appreciation.

I have a few ideas myself, most of which will revolve around charities. However if members of the community simply try someone whom they know does business online, and speaks to them about HBN, I'm sure it can help.

Anything specific you thought about?

Well, my latest soap box rant is that the crypto community needs to figure out a way to get people paid in crypto. Nothing drastic like full-time salaries (yet) but even just small things like auction sites, freelance work sites, etc etc would help jump start the crypto economy. Regular people aren't going to go out of there way to learn how to use crypto and acquire crypto coins just to spend them the same way they could spend a credit card - there's no point (to them.) So for now the whole economy is miner -> investor -> other investor. If people were getting paid in crypto for selling used things, doing small jobs, etc then they would have a reason to spend them (and that gets them involved in the whole scene and then they might start wanting to acquire more as they get into it, etc.)

Another random idea I had is scholarships. If we could get some merchants on board that sell school supplies (not just books, think about all the crap teenagers need to buy when they move into a dorm) and then sponsor small scholarships it could gain a lot of attention and also it's a good cause (since you mentioned you are interested in charities.) You could even make the scholarship based on public service or something like that. Just an idea.
