Send more coins txt 2d8e697b040e310aad5bf00d708433fe7a9ebbcc54c5234c5d6c638f8471775e coins yet to appear

At least in my chain all inputs (12 SMC) in this transactions are redeemed. They should not be spendable anymore by the originally receiving address. Only SA2NzADW3mip5EfDFnQsiV21mik6WczJJz (received 2 coins) and SAAGek7oewMQ6WwGjkePeGsHGTNW7VE8Ns (received 10 coins) can do that now.
Sure that you weren't sending coins off and receiving right after that transaction new coins (e.g. from mining) ?

Win wallet shows 2 active connection. Coins sent to addresses generated by win wallet are yet to show

Well perhaps soon it all gets fixed

Lol when i send coins from 1 address to another address between 2 wallets, the receiving wallet balance goes down by amount of coins sent then back up to its previous state? wtf lol

I think the coin with some changes can really be working fine. Maybe we can form a developers group and make it work nicely this week. I know where to change some parameters like difficulty, etc. Maybe someone more experienced can do more.

And yes make maybe new name and logo as balhazar suggested

I think that we need to perform the following steps:

1) contest for the real name
2) contest for the best logo
3) send petition to btc-e

Cheesy

Well, I know the momentum is good right now and of course it would be nice to recycle (parts of) this coin and create a new more thought through one (in fact: anyone can just fork and do so right now).
At least I wouldn't do this, until we have some more novel changes that make the coin solve problems better than other currencies.. also I really like to have some models first that give us hints how the coin could behave in the future or during attack scenarios, .. .

But block size and transaction volume limits should be adjusted before.

working on that.

So it sounds like, the faster the target block time, the faster we need to retarget the difficulty. I also like reward delay and graduate reward increase idea.

These parameters bounce of each other in interesting ways, but it doesn't seem like a terribly complicated system to model. The hard part would be finding the boundaries of the variables. Things like minimum time required to request and start new work. minimum latency requirements. maximum data throughput to a casual users wallet. That would give us limits on the model, which we could then fine tune to give the performance we want.

...

brain ran off the deep end here for a minute. this may be completely unrelated, but i'll dump it here anyway, since we have people who actually think in this thread. bare with me; i'm shooting from the hip here, and the coffee is only starting to kick in.

dynamic difficulty retarget seems a given. what about dynamic rewards? it sounds like a terrible idea... i believe liquidcoin made an attempt at it, but hear me out a sec. dynamic rewards plus dynamic difficulty would allow you to tune for a specific number of coins a day, regardless of network has rate. that seems like a reasonable way to control inflation.

... i had an idea here regarding arbitrage, but I just talked myself out of it. either way, inflation is one of the critical variables that needs to stay well damped in a fast moving currency.

Okay, makes sense. I will do a complete resync to the main network and put my miner back on it and see what happens.

How do you perform a resync? (noob question). I suffer from the same. TONS of solved and 24 coins in 7 hours.

For the non-GUI client:
Optionally, delete ~/.smallchange/peers.dat (contains all previously found peers, but since you're split, they don't help you much) and restart client. Look at ~/.smallchange/debug.log and make sure, that there is something like that:

Code:

IRC :pelican.heliacal.net NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname...

Unfortunately, irc.lfnet.org seems to point sometimes to a dead IRC server, hence you might need to try a second time.

To verify your connection status:

Code:

# ./smallchange getinfo
{
    "version" : 60300,
    "protocolversion" : 60001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 75.40000000,
    "blocks" : 25617,
    "connections" : 7,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 0.06622092,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1366762258,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "mininput" : 0.00010000,
    "errors" : ""
}

The field 'connections' should be > 0. In case the coin survives the first 2 weeks, I'll setup a domain name entry and a well connected node. Then such issues should not happen anymore.

You COULD go ahead and read the previous reply's to the thread. It was DDOS'd @ 4.5GB/Sek. Wallets/DB are safe and owner is working on getting it up and disbursing coins.

update on my experience with the coin so far. I left my miner going over night and when I woke up I had 8200 confirmed coins. I thought, okay great.. So I had to do something on my machine and restart it. I turn my wallet back on and it starts to resync to the network... Now I have a total of 12 coins mined.. and the rest show as not being credited to me. Why would it show as confirmed and then now take them all away? I think 15sec blocks might be too quick for the network if you have 1000's of people hitting it with their machines.. Or am I just sounding like I am crazy?

I had scan time set to 1. Queue 0. and expiry 1

Not at all.
Seems to me you have been split from the (main)network and mined alone or in a smaller separated sub network. Of course you would confirm your own blocks, but as the hashing power of the separated sub network has been smaller than the main network, your block chain was in the end smaller than the block chain of the main network. Hence by design you lost everything after the split when you resynced.

Splits could have been prevented by a more dense network (i.e., more connections); and some main hubs (well connected nodes announced by dns, instead of the IRC channel).

I think 15sec blocks might be too quick for the network if you have 1000's of people hitting it with their machines..

Up until block 24 180 the block generation rate was much faster than 15 seconds.. at the beginning of the block reward (block 17280) we even sometimes had 2 blocks per second.. only about now we have reached approx. the target block generation rate.
So 15 seconds block rate might work, while I agree that a block rate of only several seconds or even subseconds can't work well with the current design.

Hmmm, so, I've been mining just fine for the past few days and now I suddenly have "0" connections, stuck at block: 20, 668

EDIT: Fixed by opening my listening port in iptables. Not sure why it was working before then suddenly stopped working, but whatever, back to mining

Please include more detailed build instructions for Linux.

Ubuntu server 12.10 - extract from my sysprep script (run by admin)

Code:

# dependencies
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev

# enable in firewall
if ! sudo ufw status | fgrep --silent 9030
then
  sudo ufw allow 9030
fi

Extract from installation script (run under user account which is going to run the daemon)

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# smallchange installation
# intended to be run as the user who will run the service

# get software
if [ ! -d ~/smallchange ]
then
  cd ~
  git clone https://github.com/bfroemel/smallchange.git
  cd smallchange/src
  make -f makefile.unix
fi

I think that we need to perform the following steps:

1) contest for the real name
2) contest for the best logo
3) send petition to btc-e

Cheesy

Well, I know the momentum is good right now and of course it would be nice to recycle (parts of) this coin and create a new more thought through one (in fact: anyone can just fork and do so right now).
At least I wouldn't do this, until we have some more novel changes that make the coin solve problems better than other currencies.. also I really like to have some models first that give us hints how the coin could behave in the future or during attack scenarios, .. .

But block size and transaction volume limits should be adjusted before.

working on that.
