Yes the name choice and logo similarities (leaves are commonly used for the word seed) are definitely coincidental. We did file for TM last month, but this was not in response to Bitseed. We are completely for what you are doing and will not be entering into any TM war with you guys unless that is your plan. We did it for copycats who might try to use the name and Rainforest Foundations standing to con/scam people. I believe both parties are doing a different enough thing in the crypto world to not be mistaken too much. I would also (if we don't enter into a TM war) would like to use Bitseed for BitSeeds, I'm not and neither are a lot of my friends, technical enough to build nodes. Hope all is well with Bitseed, and good job on the name choice, I really like it! =)

Yes, the node can run POS coins, and is ideal for running full nodes for these types of altcoins. We have run Crypti, NXT, Skycoin, and Peercoin on the unit during development.

In response to the comment on the mark-up, it is actually 42% over BOM, not 100%. For someone who makes less then $20 per hour, it might make more financial sense to source and purchase the parts, build the unit, and load the software. We will be posting the CAD files and parts list for those who want to do this, since it encourages development and we are committed to the open source philosophy.

The similarity in names and logos of Bitseed and Bitseeds is coincidental, though Bitseed was used in commerce first. Bitseeds (the coin) has filed an application for registering a trademark, "Bitseeds", http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4808:mm2dq7.2.1 , so this will need to be resolved since we were already shipping units and demoing at Bitcoin meetups well before the filing date on April 3, 2015. We didn't file earlier since we're adverse to IP.

Their product is just an off the shelf micro computer stuffed in a case with a hdd that has ubuntu and bitcoin installed on it. The mark up is around 100%. You could built it yourself fairly easily.

Here's a start https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#ubuntu-1410

I think the wallet is behaving normal and what you were seeing was most of your coins actively Staking (not spendable) while just a tiny amount of a single coin was left Spendable thus making your POS-Weight very very Very small compared to the Weight of the network. Only spendable coins can have a Weight against the network and once your staking balance reached maturity they were placed back into your Spendable and your Weight was then including them once again.

Here's a question.  There is a company with a coincidentally similar named product (Bitseed instead of Bitseeds) and what they make is a low power plug and play hardware node for Bitcoin - but according to this page their new v2 product will be customizable for altcoins:

https://bitseed.org/product/pre-order-bitseed-v2/

I think the project is very cool and am planning to get a Bitcoin node at some point from them, but I'm especially interested in the potential for supporting smaller networks like Bitseeds with hardware nodes like this. The one thing I'm wondering is would this act to stake coins on a POS network like this?  That would be kinda cool.

Well, I don't know what happened but I staked all of yesterday then started again 2-3 hours ago and the days to reward jumped up to over 40,000 (!) then dropped to 30K, then jumped around 13-16K but just now it's dropped down to 1 hour and most of my coins are available again.

Really weird, but I guess I won't have to wait decades anymore before having access to them. That's good! Heh.

I'm guessing the Mac wallet will be done by Julian, which is great if so since he signs his builds as an Apple developer, which means Macs with newer versions of OS X are able to run them without changing their security settings. The main focus of my teaching is to help people who are more tech challenged, so the less complication the better. 

I just PMed you. 

The reward days doesn't seem to make sense for you. Does anyone else have this problem? I know other people staking with no issues, they are staking 11,000 and it says 8 days for reward.

Now that the blockchain is fixed we have reached out to someone I'm sure you all know to make the Mac wallet. That should be done very soon.

We did reach out to Bittrex to update the wallets and that should be happening soon.

The giveaway idea is awesome and I'm sure Rainforest Foundation will match the amount given away so more people can get BitSeeds. Please PM me I would love to speak with you about this further.

Thanks worth, based on your "getpeerinfo", here's a node list than can be added to a bitseeds.conf file for anyone not getting any connections. Also, could the devs please post "getpeerinfo" from the client running the block explorer, then I'll add them to the list ? Pretty please. Also, could a dev please confirm that Bitseeds allows addnode in the conf file?

addnode=165.154.37.19
addnode=54.149.178.155
addnode=52.11.78.176
addnode=74.133.85.14
addnode=52.10.242.143

Woah. I'm staking my coins with a fraction of one coin available to spend and the rest locked staking with expected time to reward 16,929 days(!). 

Never seen an expected time anywhere close to that high a number. Sure hope that doesn't mean my coins will be unspendable that entire time...

Speaking of staking, would love to be able to do so without running a second OS in a VM. Any ETA on the promised Mac client? 

Also, I'm considering recording video tutorials on Bitseeds and doing a giveaway to help continue educating my newsletter's 25,000+ subscribers about cryptocurrency.  I can't do that until there's a wallet application for both Windows and Mac.

Here's what I get:

Thanks, but I'm still stuck. Assuming you are running the qt client, could you please go to debughttp://pastebin.com/. If you'll do that then I'll go through the list and make a list of suggested nodes tomorrow and post it back here. Thanks

The block explorer is showing 13 connections, but there doesn't appear to be any way to list them.

I'm on block 610, have 5 connections, and am not using a conf file (and I'm not aware of one). 

Have you tried relaunching the wallet application and have you tried relaunching after removing everything from the /appdata/roaming/bitseeds folder except for the wallet.dat? The blockchain should resync very quickly.

I'm not having a problem with Bitseeds, but those steps have solved similar problems I've had with other currencies in the past. Hope that helps.

Stuck at block 503 with zero connections. I need a node list to add to my conf file, but there isn't one posted. Thanks.

Oh, I see it was from the Bittrex status page. It now lists it as Inactive. I'd still guess they haven't updated yet for some reason; looks like it's trying to communicate with the old network.


Edit:  I tweeted Bittrex about the update.

this is the screen shot from bittrex

It did seem to get briefly stuck around when you posted, but I've been staking for hours and checking it periodically and it's working smoothly now.



Not sure where that screen shot is from, but it looks like they haven't updated yet.

what's wrong with network! when it will be fix?

Noticed the blockchain got stuck again right after the network weight went from 4k+ to 48 Mil+

Last Block was a hour and a half ago.

Same here. Hope this gets fixed..

I got a runaway exception when I tried launching the new wallet after I installed it.  Had to delete everything in my data folder except for the wallet dat files and relaunch the client.  Am now staking.
