Anyone know how to kick off a peer connection from the daemon?

I have one connection (162.243.5.214) that is still on 0.8.6.4.

Edit: potcoind addnode 162.243.5.214 remove? Gives me an error Sad
In my quest to figure out why I was missing some receive addresses I stumbled upon something that answers one of my previous questions: "How do you keep your wallet/daemon from connecting to older version"

I noticed that older clients had a ban score of 10 and then discovered the banscore commandline switch. If you don't want to connect to older versions add banscore=5 to your conf file or alternatively launch potcoin with -banscore=5.

No more connections to previous versions Cheesy

Here is something I haven't seen before. Followed the upgrade instructions by deleting everything except for my wallet.dat file and letting it resync (still syncing).

I noticed that the wallet now has a new address that did not belong to me before. My other addresses are gone. All my transactions are there and I am not missing any coins.

I tried using a backup of my wallet file and my old addresses are there.

New address (valid?):
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/pot/search.dws?q=PXh1tH3pxVkvNLcSxA4nrZnF7bHHaLkdRd

Any idea? Did my wallet file somehow get corrupt? Where did this new address come from and what happened to my other addresses?
I am guessing I will need to revert to the backup wallet file.

Any address for any coin will not be seen as a "valid" and existing address until it has at least 1 input. Your wallet may have become corrupted, you should have no issue falling back to a backup, you can also export the keys from the backup and import them to a new wallet.

Well, I'm now all synced up and my old wallet addresses are still not there.  Embarrassed
Tried running -salvagewallet and now my list of Receive addresses is completely empty.

Edit: Sent 1 POT to a missing address and it showed up! Cheesy
Edit2: Strange...been mining on p2pool and receiving payments but that did not cause the missing address to show up. Probably because blocks mined on p2pool are "generated" not send/received.

sry noob question. i see I can stake coins. but whats interest? how much do i earn?

%5 percent interest/year, but POSv hasen't kicked in yet. It will be about a week or so.

We have 16 days give or take till it kicks in. The stake rate is 5%, but I believe that with this being POSv 2.0 there is code for it to split the 5% of the total money supply among those actively staking, if I am correct, that means that if 50% of the coins are actively staking then the effective rate for those coins would be 10%, this is a decent incentive to get the coins off the exchanges and actively staking. I looked through the code and I think I found the relevant chunk of data but I am not a code monkey, if someone who understands source better than I could look through it and confirm, that would be awesome.

It would be very nice if we can get this confirmed...

It would be very nice to have confirmation, though my reasoning for it being in there is pretty solid. Laudney, the creator of POSv and one of the creators of reddcoin, said that POSV2 would include this code as well as other enhancements, with potcoin having posted that they implemented POSV2.0, I am fairly certain that it is indeed a part of the code.

As I already said, if a friendly code monkey could look through the source and confirm that it is indeed there, or not, I will buy you a redbull or maybe even a 4pack Wink

Given that the difference is so significant, I can't understand why the devs have not chimed in here to dispel all doubts...

They likely don't know what all is in POSv 2.0 as they didn't create it. This is likely the reason it took them so long to get it integrated with the existing code, the dev that designed it did so in a way to make it difficult to just copy/pasta and get it working.

Wondering....I imagine you have to keep the wallet open (and unlocked?) for it to stake or does it work like Bottlecaps where you can open the wallet every few months and you quickly get stakes?

Perhaps even with Bottlecaps it would be better to keep the wallet open but it stakes so quickly and nicely just opening it up every once in a while.

All POS coins are designed so that your incentivized to keep the wallet and therefore a node open and running 24/7 to help secure the network.
Coins like caps, hbn, hyperstake have a max subsidy per stake, depending on the amount of caps your staking, you might be throwing money away by having it stake only once every few months. POT doesn't have that, so yes, you can open it once a year and get your 5% likely almost immediately depending the coin age, but your better off and so is the network if you can leave it open and unlocked more often to help support the network. Compounding won't be much, but it will help your coins grow a bit faster.

975,000 - 940,000 = 35,000

35,000 * 40 = 1,400,000 seconds or 23,333.33333333333 minutes or 388.8888888888889 hours or 16.2037037037037 days.

You missed some ZEROs  Lips sealed
I stand corrected.. to good to be true. I guess we have to wait.. not that long tho.

We are on block 94000

POSv hits 97500.

If my calculations are correct.

97500-94000=3500 blocks to go..

at 40sec blocks that's only 38 hours till POVs.. whoo hooo.. Grin

About time... it's been a complicated transition so far. Hopefully things will work flawlessly from now on...

Hi,

Potcoin is once again mineable at Hashnova for the week remaining.

https://pool.hashnova.com/pools/Potcoin/POT/

We have been on the wrong version, but is now re-synced and up to date.

Sorry but I should have followed the community thread a bit closer.

Cheers,
David
