Looking good!  I did have to resync and add the above nodes but it is working well for me.

I was a little bit disappointed because all my coins staked rather quickly, I assume because of my built up weight and not everyone has their clients open, but it did that thing where smaller blocks of coins were automatically swept together into one larger input for some reason.  I understand that it does this to ensure the inputs don't get too small and make sure the network stays healthy.  It was a little annoying though because I easily could have gotten my multiplier higher.  Any way we can have some control over that, ya know, for me and the 2 or 3 other aspies who want to obsess over the small details in an effort to gain a tiny advantage?

As far as know it shouldn't require a hard fork, just an optional update.  I imagine it would be easiest to do with a handful of rpc calls.  Like 'stakesplit' would ensure all your inputs are left alone and your stake splits into 2 outputs, 'stakecombine' would leave your inputs alone but combine your staked coins back into 1 output, and 'stakenormal' could shut off either of those commands and return to the default.  It would be enough control that the few who want it can use it, but its hidden enough so those that don't won't have to bother with it.  They could be taken out in any further updates past the 30 days of turbo stake, or left in as irrelevant vestiges of SNRG's turbo staking birth.

Not sure how difficult or time consuming something like this would be to implement, but it would be nice to have for the next 3 weeks or so.  For that matter, exactly which block or time does turbo staking end?

Your stakes would not be gone if you were on a fork. Get on the right chain and they will eventually earn full interest. You won't lose anything.

Sync takes time to happen because of TOR, which *does* have trade-offs. Just try restarting your wallet if it fails to connect and delete your tor directory. Tor is slow to connect, but typically more robust than the regular net once established.

Sometimes the particular TOR rendezvous you grab has some problems. This could effect subsequent restarts. If you have problems, try deleting your "tor" directory between restarts, along with the other suggestions here. Make sure your ISP is not blocking connections to TOR rendezvous servers.

Our connection count for the seednode is 36 right now. We have a non-seednode up too, and it has 19 connections. These are very high numbers for any network. It means that most users are not having problems. Once you join the network and get on the correct chain, you'll find it very stable. It's hard to join the network sometimes, but these are conscious trade-offs that we made by using a TOR network.

As far as modifying staking code goes it is very difficult, and we need time to make sure any small kinks are worked out. Thanks for your patience, I am sure we are close to having this perfected (if not already). This is why it is open source! We need your help as much as you need ours, so very specific details about your problems will help us to make this coin as good as it can be.

It is in the OP.

Where is the block explorer?

wow awesome . good job dev . i can send more SNRG to my client  , i certain this concept it's good for future

Thanks for mining with Suprnova guys - please don't forget to withdraw your remaining funds from the Pool and please RT:

Nice and slick I'm going to grab more right now so I can turbo stake some more coins in the time that's left Yeah Yeah lol

Linux Wallet

A linux build is now available. A link is in the OP.

Whether or not you are certain you are using the right client, can you please go to the OP and download the client for your system. Then brute-force a sync to the correct chain by using the bootstrap.

See here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11502274

Delete your peers.dat before you restart. You'll get a bunch of good peers from the seednode.

Then, as soon as you are synced and connected, start staking.

why the wallet not sync?

Synergy Wallet Features


This is simply a post to outline some of the features of the Synergy wallet. Several of these features, like stealth addresses, transaction comments, and blockchain notary ("Exist") were inherited from BitSwift, which itself inherited some features from other coins.

Note: The origins of these features are documented in the source code. If the Synergy base code has something in it from your favorite coin, like for example coin control from yaccoin, or cryptocurrency functionality from bitcoin itself, please resist the urge to advertise that fact here. Such advertisements, framed as fudding, "just" asking questions, making observations, etc., will be considered off-topic and will be deleted. We understand you are proud of your coin. We probably like it too. But this is the Synergy thread.


Built-in Tor Network Anonymization

In Synergy, we have provided basic network anonymization functionality by including the Tor service in the wallet. It starts automatically at launch and works in the background without any configuration from the user. We included Tor not only for anonymity, but also because cryptocurrencies that use Tor networks tend to have better connectivities between nodes. This is because Tor acts as a port proxy, allowing nodes to discover each other and stay connected with much greater ease than with standard peer-to-peer routing.

Tor uses encrypted layers of routing information to ensure that the source and destination of packets of information are exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to link. Much has been written about Tor vulnerabilities, but most of these vulnerabilities are theoretical or require communication through Tor "exit nodes". Because the Synergy network does not have exit nodes, and because the information is very limited in nature (confined to transaction information), many theoretical Tor vulnerabilities do not apply to Synergy communication.

Although it is most tested network anonymization technology available, we do not claim that Tor routing provides perfect anonymity against any agency or institution. It is quite possible that some governments have penetrated the Tor network and can track network traffic therein. However, we are confident that it will be strong enough to prevent targeted attacks from most potential adversaries.


Public Transaction Comments

Public transaction comments, stored in the blockchain, can be entered from the Qt wallet at the top of the send page:


Transaction comments are convenient, but they take up valuable blockchain memory. To compensate for this resource usage, Synergy charges 0.0001 SNRG per character. The charge is effectively "burned" by the network. In other words, the individual making the transaction pays the fee, but no person collects it.

Can someone spam the chain with transaction comments?   Sure, but it will cost them. Each block is 256 kB. To fill up one block requires 25.6 SNRG. Additionally, those 25.6 SNRG will simply cease to exist, reducing the money supply as a result.


Blockchain Notary

The blockchain notary is a simple tool for incorporating a "proof of existence" into the block chain.

In the Qt, this feature is called "Exist", and it is also at the top of the send page:


By clicking the "Exist..." button, the user will be taken to a file dialog. Simply select a file for which to store a proof of existence and the SHA256 hash of the file will be inserted into the comment field. The file could be a scan of a paper document or an electronic document. In any event don't lose the original file! You will need exactly the file (byte per byte) if you ever need to use the blockchain as proof of existence of the document at a given time.

Dual Key Stealth Addresses

Stealth addresses are a way to cryptographically hide the receiver of a coin, using a public address. A stealth address is long, but can be made public. Synergy users send to a stealth address, but the stealth address is not the actual receiving address. The actual receiving address is derived from the stealth address, but only the sender and receiver know to whom this derived address belongs. An example of a stealth address is:


If an individual sends coins to that address, the actual address used in the block chain can not be linked to the stealth address or any other public address.

Stealth addresses are conveniently created in the wallet when making a new receiving address:


Notice that the "Stealth Address" checkbox is selected.


Efficient Long Term Blockchain Validation

Chained-hash cryptocurrency algorithms like X11 and X13 are exceptional for protecting GPUs during mining. That's why we chose X11 for our PoW period. However, they are unnecessarily computationally expensive for PoS, which does not rely on the difficulty of the algorithm to achieve security. Early in a cryptocurrency's life, the added difficulty of chained-hash algorithms make little difference. However, after a few years, validating a block chain can be very computationally expensive.

To ameliorate the computational expense of our choice of PoW algorithms, we decided to make the PoS phase SHA256d, which requires only two SHA256 hasing cycles. This reduces the work load for block validation significantly. It's easier on CPUs, quicker, and energy efficient. Use of the SHA256d algorithm will begin quietly about 10 days after launch.

well my wallet has 1500 less coins than it did --    -- but i understand how staking works-- we will see if it is the same with Turbo Staking

yes i did --
 here it is in the trash



and here is my App Supp Folder

You will get those coins back pretty fast. Just keep staking. You don't lose stake. You will always re-stake if you don't mint a block with it.

Let us know if you "freeze" again. Unfortunately I don't see you on my seed node. Are you sure you deleted your peers.dat?

that seems to work except i lost all the coins i staked -- about 1500 --

and as noted here--- i was on the correct chain

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1070124.340

Got it. I see you minted a block that one of my nodes rejected. Unfortunately I forgot to turn the debug=1 flag on for that client so I'm not quite sure what happened. What I do see in the log makes me think you are using the experimental client that I released.

Whether or not you are certain you are using the right client, can you please go to the OP and download the client for your system. Then brute-force a sync to the correct chain by using the bootstrap.

See here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11502274

So my seednode picks you up, delete your peers.dat before you restart. You'll get a bunch of good peers from the seednode.

Then, as soon as you are synced and connected, start staking. This way, I'll make sure to pick up anything if you mint a "bad block".
