Would like to to do a bit of solo mining with cgminer how would I set this up? Thanks!

Here is a quick guide.

For HBN your .conf file will be called HoboNickels.conf

Hi Tranz, thanks it worked! It took forever to re-download the blockchain and it takes a long time for the wallet to load but it loads fine now....thanks again.  Is there any way to deal with the large size blockchain? I understand that this will be an issue for all coins at some point.

Good to hear. Yes the block chain will grow by about 1 - 2 gig each year. Some type of compression my help. Also as it gets much bigger we will likely offer a bootstrap download file to help speed up the process.

Hi Tranz, bad news. The Assertion failed error is back, no idea why (see link below for my exact error). I can't open the wallet at all again. I'm not sure what to try next? If I send coins to a new wallet will that help? what else can i try?

thanks

New commit to my master

See here: https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/4390-preparing-hbn-v14/?p=78577

Includes NVC FastMiner
Stake for Charity(beta)

Tranz, can you give some info about NVC FastMiner, or a link to read about it?
(found myself thinking that I follow HBN more often than mother-NVC  Grin)

Here was that commit for NVC.
https://github.com/novacoin-project/novacoin/commit/2c8f88fc67af7916670ce0086e6a9078df8182f0

I had to change it to work with my differences.

NVC has great development. Good coin to grab some on the dips.

Mmm, that's great but maybe is it possible to explain in 2-3 words for us, non-programmers, what this feature is useful for?  Roll Eyes

Basically it allows for a more efficient staking process. The gui should not become unresponsive if you are trying to process a lot of separate blocks for stake.

=== NODE IS OK! ==
Just lost my wallet with 8000 HBN to the error 22. Luckily, I had a backup  Cool

So basically,

1.) It allows you to store funds outside of a software wallet, so no one can every actually steal them

2.) It allows you to hand someone a piece of paper (or dispense it from an ATM, etc) so even without having a wallet they can acquire coins

anything else?

It seems that coinchoose.com is on the wrong chain too (or likely takes data form the wrong block explorer), displaying wrong profitability atm.

Thanks. I have replied to his thread.

Sad that nothing changed, and some people can get confused...

I zipped up everything that you mentioned but the wallet for you, I see that it is over 300 MB even after zipping it up so I can't email it to you.  Where can I put it for you?  Lmk.



You could try one of those free upload sites like

http://www.fileswap.com/

or

Thanks. I was able to re-create the error. It stems from corruption of the index. Which is kept in files in the %appdata%\HoboNickels\txleveldb directory.

The quickest fix was to remove or rename the %appdata%\HoboNickels\txleveldb directory. Then start the client with -loadblock=%appdata%\HoboNickels\blk0001.dat

This will re-index the blocks again. Takes a bit of time, but faster then using the network.

The newest BTC client 8.5+ has an option -reindex which does approx the same thing. I would like to add this into HBN, but it will require a substantial amount of work, so it won't be for a while.

Hi Tranz,

Can you please explain how to do this;

"Then start the client with -loadblock=%appdata%\HoboNickels\blk0001.dat"

I am getting the assertion failed error as well and every time I resync the folder txleveldb, the error returns. Please help. I'm not sure what to do and I can't open my wallet...I'm running 1.3.6

thanks



I think there is an issue with a bad client on the network feeding bad blocks, and causing this. I had the issue myself when starting up fresh.

Please try this.

#1 make sure you have a backup of your wallet. Good idea to use the export wallet feature as well.
#2 remove block001.dat and the leveldb directory, from your appdata directory
#3 replace your peers.dat with this one. ( http://www.fileswap.com/dl/d6lOaTzYz/ )
#4 start up the client.

Please let me know if that helps.

Ok, added a few neat functions to the blockchain explorer.

Last traded BTC/USD price
Last traded HBN/BTC price
