What is the optimal block size for staking?

Indeed!  Every single file except wallet.dat

.lock, addr.dat, the db text document, the debug document, the blk0001.dat file that was in there, and the blkindex.dat file.  All gone.

The client re-made all the missing files and went to town.   Cheesy

I'm not one hundred percent on this with HYP, but for most satoshi based clients, you can force the issue. Start your daemon or QT with -bootstrap (eg /usr/local/bin/hyperstake-qt -bootstrap)

Most of them look for it anyway. And yes, always delete everything but the configuration file, bootstrap.dat, and (optionally) the wallet. I frequently do it with no wallet, and then copy my old wallet in when it's done. That way if something does go wrong, you only lose time.

Force the issue like Bruce Jenner?

to your stations, man the pineapples!!!
is there any guide to setting up a daemon for staking ?
including such things as handy input sizes ??

thanks

sometimes clients dont load the complete bootstrap before stopping. then they sync from where it got up to.

i've noticed that sometimes you can continue, if you rename it back to bootstrap again without deleting anything. and sometimes not.



when you made the bootstrap, did you delete all the other files when starting it ? they confuse it if you dont delete them.

Lol. All these altcoins are confusing.

Yeah they certainly are.  I moved my HYP wallet to a different computer, downloaded the bootstrap that was mentioned on page 253, and then watched it get about 1/2 way loaded (took about an hour to reach that point for me) before I went to bed.  This morning I got up, and the HYP wallet had loaded, BUT! it was syncing with the network and had about 14,000 blocks to go.  I went into the appdata folder and the bootstrap.dat had been renamed to bootstrap.dat.old (I thought it did this when it had fully completed as not to run again)  So apparently the bootstrap didn't work??

{EDIT: I'm stupid.  Didn't attempt to read the OP before proceeding with the bootstrap file..  It's right there in black and white!  Too many paint chips as a kid...}

I tried creating my own bootstrap (for S's and G's) with another coin following the directions on another forum where they said go into your roaming folder using a command prompt and use the command copy /b blk0001.dat+blk0002.dat bootstrap.dat (and continue this for however many blk.dat files you have) I had only one, so my code was:

copy /b blk0001.dat bootstrap.dat

It made the bootstrap.dat file.  I copied that and went over to my test machine and popped it into the appdata folder and launched the client.  It wanted to start syncing from scratch.  *SHRUG* I guess it didn't like my bootstrap.dat file!

HAHAHAHA

Guys can someone please help me.

I have been away and so redownloaded new wallet and fresh blockchain, and put my wallet in.

It is not showing any of the coins in my balance, but I have only tranferred coins there once and mined twice.

There are not even any outgoing transfers so are my coins fucked and gone? :/



You're using the HYPER wallet, not the Hyperstake wallet. It's a different coin.

Did you try to repair your wallet?

I have set up a bootstrap server. Updated every hour.

Changed it, thanks for the heads up.
I also lost the Hyperstake folder somehow, now i have to reimport the bootstrap all over. I hope it gets it done during the night.

from bootstrap, it usually takes 3-4 hours. Not terrible. It will show out of sync until it's finished reindexing, even if the block height is correct. This isn't a problem, it's just the way it works Tongue

Also, and this is something that's a little confusing so I figure it's good general information (for all satoshi based coins) is that you don't HAVE to use the default folder. You can make one and point the client to it. But you have to point it to the folder every time you call it for the daemon, and it needs to be in the launch command line for the QT.

The command is -datadir. For QT, you would run it with hyperstake-qt -datadir=/some/predefined/directory. In windows, you would want to modify the link target to be hyperstake-qt -datadir=\some\predefined\directory

For daemon access, it's hyperstaked -datadir=/some/predefined/directory to launch the daemon and then hyperstaked -datadir=/some/predefined/directory from there out. I actually use this a lot to have multiple copies of the blockchain. Again, this is totally optional.

Okay, one last thing. I have setted up a .conf like the guide says, am i missing anything?
Code:
rpcuser=hyperstakecrew
rpcpassword=AUeYFdcL6r8YXurj23xLbIAVsxVflN7R
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
gen=0
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1

If that is the password you are using, you should change it and not be posting it publically, it doesn't pose an immediate risk but better to be safe than sorry.

listen=1

You might want to define the ports (rpcport= , port= ) but if it's not giving any conflicts, that's totally optional. I always run txindex=1 so I have ALL block transaction data, but that too is optional. It looks fine.

So um i'm no expert or anything like that, but i'm curious, why are bootstraps used? Couldn't one just paste the blk000 and blkindex into his client data folder?

Mainly for speed, and also for the new guy trying to get synched. Good developers try to maintain an up to date bootstrap so that new people don't have to wait (sometimes literally) days to get up to speed. For instance, bitcoin synching from a bootstrap takes around seven hours. Synching from the network can take over a week.

On smaller coins, it's more a convenience. Also, it is possible for your local copy of the block chain to get corrupted, and a bootstrap will get you to a reasonable block height and allow those last few blocks to synch fast, instead of starting from zero.
