After all, this is Growthcoin, after all, it wouldn't be called that if it didn't have a large growth, now would it? Also have to keep up with PHS, HBN and CAP, otherwise it will be left to dry without anyone using, or buying it.

You are right about being growthcoin, I believe it should GROW but not only the supply, the value too Wink

speaking of PHS, HBN, CAP and others...


PHS has 50% rate
HBN has 100% rate
CAP has 200% rate
TEK has 400% 500% rate
and now HYP has 750% rate


with HBN at 100% and GRW at 100%, it's like we ride the same bus... so we could crank up the volume a tiny bit to 150% or be crazy and jump it to 1000% just for the sake of Grrrrowing Smiley

if we decide to go to 1000%, I think we should cap it in some way to keep the inflation at a minimum.

I'm not sure about 1000%, at least not at the stage that we are right now (meaning having already ~30 millions coins in circulation).  but then again it could be a fun thing to try!

Can someone upload an archive of the latest chain?  

There you go, this is the blk0001.dat renamed to bootstrap.dat for convenience

http://grw.blockx.info/grw_bootstrap_20140711.zip


for anyone wanting to use this file, just copy it over into your datadir, and start your client. The client will read from this file before connecting to other nodes.  If you have a corrupted database this is a quick fix rather then redownloading the whole blockchain.

Just delete the blkindex.dat file and use this bootstrap.dat (or rename your own blk0001.dat file to bootstrap.dat to save some bandwidth Smiley )

Thanks to presstab, you can find the windows Qt with latest commit here

keep in mind this is a pre-release build. It's still safe to use.

Let me check for that blockchain file

Let me see if my block chain corresponds with the block explorer.

Is there no way of getting it from grw.blockx.info?

I would like to know how you guys feel about the current PoS interest rate, among other things?

We will need to hard fork the chain in order to fix the bug to get minimum coin age back to 5 days. So why not get creative and suggest changes to the network that also require a hard fork

on the menu we could discuss

  • min/max stake age
  • yearly % rate
  • max PoS block reward
  • Network speed (45 second block too fast/slow?)
  • is PoW reward halving satisfying
  • Transaction fees: Too low/High? should they go to miners or be destroyed?
  • Other? ...

Also, current Proof of Stake rewards should be diminishing with difficulty rising, but the way it's been setup is wrong and doesn't take into consideration the diff.  I believe this is an important point.  While High PoS is good and beneficial in the early stages of adoption, it certainly isn't in the long run when adoption is more spread and coin supply is larger.

I would like to get the pulse of the community. I would also like this to be some kind of a brainstorm.  

I think GrowthCoin is pretty awesome the way it is, but improvements are always welcome and discussions alway encouraged Smiley
I have no view on the POS and such, but the halving has occurred when there were just a few people mining it, at diff under 0.2, most of the time. When I mined it solo it was 0.01 or so. Coins with long/high block time, are just a pain in the neck, leave it as it is. Tongue Maybe you could lower the transaction fee a little, to say 0.1 and 0.2 max, depends on the value, but also on the block size. I mean who wants to use a coin if the block size is 12.5 and the fees is 0.1 or 0.5 just to use it, in the long run? Min stake age of 5 to 7 days is fine I guess.

After all, this is Growthcoin, after all, it wouldn't be called that if it didn't have a large growth, now would it? Also have to keep up with PHS, HBN and CAP, otherwise it will be left to dry without anyone using, or buying it.

Ohh, did you change any of the version numbers? I changed at least 3-5 of them. Let me see.

Okej, it's still very much 1.3.0.0 AFAIK.

The only thing I did was put a proper .ico in there, other than that exactly how it is from github.

Thanks PressTab, you're awesome Smiley

just wondering if you made a git pull in the directory?  because I'm pretty sure I updated all reference to the .ico file and uploaded a correct version a few commits back. so if it still doesn't work, let me know and I'll fix it.

Not the .ico was corrupted or something. Or maybe it didn't download properly I am not sure at the moment.

ok don't sweat over it, I think I remember it being corrupted or something at some point, but I also changed it.

Make sure you are updated (or clone a clean copy to make sure) and if it's still don't work let me know.

Pool up.

With the new wallet I can read the starting time of it in Linux with Wine:

Quote
07/11/14 19:09:25 Loading block index...
07/11/14 19:32:43 LoadBlockIndex(): hashBestChain=00000000a13be8e96c06  height=586800  trust=1216338894556  date=07/11/14 18:30:31

It is about 20 minutes

it varies but it's supposed to be much faster,

so while sometimes I get 20 seconds, other times I can have up to 20 minutes load time!

last 3 load times

about 8 minutes
Code:
07/11/14 18:52:07 Loading block index...
07/11/14 19:00:53 LoadBlockIndex(): hashBestChain=7d2502a692ce371fd76b  height=586824  trust=1216365027684  date=07/11/14 18:49:58


about 11 minutes
Code:
07/11/14 19:39:55 Loading block index...
07/11/14 19:50:01 LoadBlockIndex(): hashBestChain=0a6cb3ef54a9204e3451  height=586886  trust=1216425229379  date=07/11/14 19:38:05

16 seconds!
Code:
11/07/2014 20:00:47 Loading block index...
11/07/2014 20:01:03 LoadBlockIndex(): hashBestChain=00000000536aed8aa5b0  height=586910  trust=1216444370251  date=11/07/2014 19:59:41

I plan to make use of level db in version 1.4 or 1.5.

I hope this will become more constant on load time

You can now click on the little padlock and up arrow. Plus the connection bars and status symbol. Neat. Wink Grin

Yes pretty sweet Smiley

Did you like the splash screen?
I wanted to make it look more neutral and trustworthy.



there is also the different one for testnet Wink

yeah it will be 1.3.1.0 when the I finish a few minor updates. I haven't changed it yet because I'm not finish.

Okej, that is fine, I'm just on top of things. Smiley It'll be 1.3.1.0 next then. Just wanted to make sure.

It seems to be working fine, I'll test the new stuff now.
