We need more exchange sites to be able to get a real value...

Yesterday I had an email exchange with someone from Mintpal. I asked him to add the coin and he urged me to vote stating that they would periodically add the top coin. In response, I told him that we aren't interested in voting and very bluntly asked him how much we'd have to pay to just get them to add it. Let's see if he makes an offer.

Cryptsy is completely down at the moment with a 500 error  Cry

Hmm, that is no good...

It seems they use proxies and those 500 errors happen occasionally when their proxies have issues.

Is it for sure that Cryptsy uses 1.2v? Looks like their tech support replies with generic phrases and they don't really know whats going on. Maybe  its better to contact BitJohn or who is in charge of technical stuff there...

I believe casinocoin coordinated with them during the last release and they were one of the first ones on 1.2.

This will cause the new wallet to never say it's in sync :/

Last wallet update has only nodes to the new chain, so no problem with the sync

The source code was updated to only connect to new wallet nodes but I don't think the binaries for Windows were updated. It was added shortly after the binaries were released.

I think the main source of the hashrate on the old chain may be coming from this pool:

http://us-east1.cryptovein.com:8840/

Have messaged the admin but no response Sad

Finally got them to update. It looks like they were checking the old GIT page and thinking they were up-to-date until I told them of the new GIT page  Undecided

Best I can tell, I'll need to run a few seed nodes with MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION set to 70003 when the new client is officially released. This will help with syncing. Then after we get significant distribution of the new clients with MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION = 70004, I can change the seeds to require a MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION of 70004. Does this make sense for the eventual release or is this overkill?

How did it go during the last upgrade?

I'm gonna repeat back what you said outloud to see if it makes sense...

The plan is to create several seeds with the new PROTOCOL_VERSION set to 70004 but keep MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION = 70003.
Then tell as many people as possible to move to the new release(70004 aka 1.3).  This version will have MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION = 70004

Then once a significant number of people are on 70004 you will remove the seeds with MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION = 70003.  (and if necessary replace them with MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION = 70004)


Seems like it makes sense but how have other coins done this in the past?
Are you in contact with admins at the bigger pools to make sure they are ready to move?

I'm a little concerned that cryptsy still doesn't have their wallet working.  Might be a good idea to make sure they know about the upgrade and if possible have them fix their current wallet first.

BTW, anyone here capable of code reviewing the changes I've implemented for the next release? If so, I can forward the relevant source, which is not in the main branch. The current changes are:

1.) max coins changed from 336000000 to 63000000
2.) old block reward halving scheme removed
3.) block reward permanently reduced to 10 after block 620k (we may adjust this to be a bit more targeted to follow 10 - 45 days after the release - just a placeholder for now)
4.) incremented MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION to 70004
5.) incremented PROTOCOL_VERSION to 70004
6.) incremented CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR to 3

If anyone can advise, would any other changes be required to perform the eventual fork in addition to changing the subsidy and max coins? I believe the changes made are what's required, but need to make sure another version number doesn't need to be changed. Anyone know for sure or willing to help with a code review?

If we get a boom before July please update the OP to reflect the lower max coins and subsidy.  Maybe put a line through the old numbers and put the new numbers in - until the code is fully updated.

That way new investors do the math based on much lower coin float and inflation numbers which are a big difference.

Thanks!

I'll ask casinocoin to put something about it on the front page.

Amazing how the price rises consistently on cryptsy when they stop deposits for 5 days. Just goes to show you how a market can function when it's not being dusted with autosells constantly.




Precisely, which is why we wanna slow down the mass inflow of millions of cheap new Casino Coins every month by cutting the max cap and the subsidy.

Once the new code is updated we should see a nice upswing in the price which should have a lasting effect.
Great, this is a good step towards even better community..

The changes to the source code are really minor. Only 3 places where I need to make changes. I'll make the alterations and we'll release it first week of July. In advance, lets plan a press release and we need to work on getting new clients compiled. This will all be release in approximately 4 weeks.

You guys have 4 weeks to get everything in order. Hopefully, this creates some improved value for people who already invested in this coin and brings some much needed attention to it as well.

Wow, and it's the top bid so he's not just flashing bits, he really wants to accumulate and put a floor under CSC.

It's very interesting also that he raised his Bitcoin bet as if he's going for an actual amount of CSC.  

So maybe he pulled his bid to see if CSC would drop without his support and when it went up instead he came right back.

There are a number of oversold alts under accumulation but nothing this blatant or big.
