Thank you.

Give me a link to blockchain zip please.

Seems like deposits to cryptopia doesnt work atm . Probably due to wallet maintenance.. price go up there with the no influx  of new coins..

Nice... One thing to keep in mind, that when a wallet is turned off (no deposits) the price can be artificially inflated due to lack of new coins.

Thanks!

Went ahead and updated to 1.5.3.1. This will now allow you to start and stop staking with a click of a button or rpc command. Also as a startup switch.

Also do we have any Mac Compilers here?  I do have an old Mac, but I have not done it before. So I can learn it, but it will take away from my dev time to set that all up. If someone can help out, that would be great!

1.5.3 update done here

Yes but they are saying they will not update until it is pulled into the main repo  https://github.com/Crypto-Expert/HoboNickels. I have messaged Ahmed, but he is away. Does anyone have another contact for him?

Edit: Ok I did get hold of him and he pulled it in. Mr reliable. Unlike devs that take 2 year vacations! 

Here is my market analysis

Cool, updated to 1.5.3 with no issue.

Looks like Cryptopia is in the process of updating their wallet.

Great. I will send you a message later today with user and pass.

Anyone else?

Glad to help

I updated hobonickels.info to make links correct.  Not to much change to front page content. Does anyone want to give it some time to check it over make sure I didn't miss anything?

Also does anyone want to work on the wiki or news section? I will add a few news posts here soon, and maybe to the wiki, but it is very low priority. If others want to contribute just let me know. It is a private wiki page due to bots! But I can add others.

Thanks!

Yes and No.  Those on anything less then 1.5.3 should stay on the same fork as 1.5.3 unless they turn off Check Pointing.  The worse case is they accept a bunch of invalid blocks and when a valid block comes in, all of their invalid blocks will turn in orphans and the wallet will re-organize the chain to the 1.5.3 version.

The Checkpoint sever will be running 1.5.3 well before the cut off block, and I will send alerts to the other older versions letting them know to upgrade or expect issues. Really if 30% of wallets upgrade we should be fine.

switching to 1.5.3 is a kind of vote ? if majority stays with 1.5.1 including cryptopia and fairglu's explorer they will be on diffrent chain than 1.5.3ers after mentioned blocks?

No forks. I have wallets running all versions of 1.5 and all are good to go. However I will say the network was very very busy this morning with a ton of PoS and PoW blocks.  This caused many wallets to lag while they processed the blocks. Also some, including two of mine, and sounds like yours, may have missed a block in the middle of that, and this caused a bunch of orphan blocks to come into your wallet.  Until you were able to get that missing block, you were behind. All of mine resolved themselves without having to do much more then just wait it out. 

You can try to set the reserve balance high and basically turn off staking for a bit till you can get caught up. Or you may need a quick wallet restart.

This further validates my notion to turn off PoW at block 6.0 million.

Further more I think we need at least 1 more fork to put block time to 90 seconds and allow blocks to stake starting at 1 day old.  I think both of these will allow the network and wallets to run much smoother. We will see how things go after block 5.6million which will put the brakes on PoW, not stop it, but slow it down. Then how things are at 6.0million when PoW is turned of.

Hopefully by that time I should have a much more efficient staking algo that will lower wallet lag and decrease CPU, which will help your wallet and the network run a lot smoother.

Did you update to the new wallet version 1.5.3??
When was the last reboot of your machine?

shouldn't be that, my transactions are under 500 total wallet is under 1 Mb

Too much transactions in your wallet?
Had the same issue with a wallet size of 120Mb and about 135K transactions.

Did the network fork recently? My wallet is all messed up since last night and is always a few seconds behind syncing and now is farther and farther behind on its block height. I just ran the wallet staking. Is there anything that can fix this?

Don't know too much about Master Nodes. What can you tell me about them, what benefit do they have?
