can anyone help out devlin here?

Thanks usukan

Hi PressTab - yes its looking good.

I have done 4 snapshots of blocktimes over 100 blocks (POW and POS) over the last 2 days

the numbers were 1.6 1.3 1.01 and 0.73 - so its pretty much about 1 block per min as it should be over a 24 hr period.

The retargeting is working great and staking working 100%. Send/rec working and fast now for confs with proper blocktimes.

Everything is fine

Nice work

Thanks usukan

WALLET UPDATE REQUIRED

Ultracoin is hardforking to a new and much improved wallet. This new wallet addresses many issues including the diff re-targeting causing trouble for miners and includes more efficient staking plus increased staking rewards (new wallet after fork - 5.6% PA).

The fork date is set for Wednesday, October 12th , 2016 (block number 1,824,237).

You should download, install and run the new wallet - preferably before the fork date.  The old wallet will not function correctly after the fork.


The new wallet files can be downloaded from here:

https://mega.nz/#F!nAVymCQa!wdJ4DMaULSptCqC5BX8fCw

This link has downloads for both 32x and 64x Windows installations.

The simplest installation of the new wallet is via running the appropriate setup.exe for your Windows operating system - either 32x or 64x i.e. "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win64-Setup.exe" or "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win32-Setup.exe"

This applies if you want to install a NEW Ultracoin wallet - OR if you want to update an old installation.

So - if you have a Win64 operating system - just download and run "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win64-Setup.exe"

Once the installation has completed - you need to be sure to run the correct ultracoin-qt.exe so the NEW wallet opens (i.e. don't use your old desktop shortcut).

Best create a new desktop shortcut - as follows

- Navigate to C/Program Files/Ultracoin folder
- Find the file ultracoin-qt.exe
- Create a shortcut to this file - and put it on your desktop.

Use this new shortcut to run the new wallet (and best to delete your old desktop shortcut)


As always - be sure to back up and save your wallet files (wallet.dat) to several other storage devices.

If you know what you are doing - you can use the .zip files shown in the MEGA download link (i.e. ultracoin-qt-v1.0.0.0-Win64.zip) to manually configure your own wallet installation.

what is the correct wallet to be using now?

Just took a quick look at the explorer charts. Things are looking a whole lot smoother now. No more domination of PoW for a bunch of blocks then PoS for a bunch of blocks. Pretty good balance now.

Hi, new cards with 8G is efficient at N14?

thanks Valpe   

Thanks there bathrobehero - its early to call but it all looks damn good so far.

Last set of numbers I ran put blocks (POS + POW) at 1.01 blocks per minute over about 100 blocks (small sample size).  Its fluctuating but looks on plan for 1 block per minute.


Sync, staking and transactions working fine from my tests.

Some tweaks maybe coming next week - but looking good - I agree.

Hit it with as much hash as you like (on/off) "at will" - need to stress test.


Cheers usukan

Congratulations guys!

Hi barbados-fs

Thats a very interesting but strange problem.

The good news is that its on your computer - and it works!

So it exists somewhere - you just have to find it somehow.

Maybe @Presstab might have some advice to find it?



First - just check that you have not "hidden folders and files" applied to C:\Program Files on Windows Explorer (this would stop you seeing the folders in program files when you do a manual search yourself on the computer)  In the Control Panel you need to make sure "show hidden files and folders is selected. (Control Panel/Appearance and Personalisation/Folder Options)

I have installed and many others - and it always end up in C:\Program Files\UltraCoin

I can only suggest a search with the Windows Explorer open on "This PC" for ultracoin-qt.exe - it shows me every instance of ultracoin-qt.exe on my computer (and the path/location date installed etc)

here is a video showing you how - for Win7

and another

otherwise also do a Google search "how to find a file on windows 7"

hope this helps

Congratulations to the UTC team! 

UTC looks very promising now.

Valpe

I have installed Win7 (x64) I have, previously, UTC was set to Win7 (x86) and the weird thing is - I downloaded and ran "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win64-Setup.exe" I Went to the installation process. After that, UTC launched automatically and started to sync (yay), BUT in C/Program Files/Ultracoin folder - no. Only in "Program Files (x86) and the exe file there is dated (22.02.2015). Now I wonder where to get the new file to run ultracoin-qt.exe. Searched the entire PC - I can't find a new one.

I'm so sorry to hear about earthquake and tsunami. I think that supermoon has caused this.

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a horrible time, but at least you weren't injured and I hope nobody you know was!

I'm also glad to hear you're OK. Take care of you!

Morning Alenevva

I was unlucky enough to be in the right place to have a rather large earthquake last night - a few dead here and many injured.  We even had a tsunami 2 hrs after the quake.  Not much sleep.  I have just woken up and got things a little organised.

I will check out stats and everything in detail later - but for now it certainly looks like the fork went smoothly.

Great work everyone.

I sure hope the fork didn't cause the earthquake - it started just before the fork and went on all night  
Crazy and weird timing...........

Cheers - usukan

Payments will be resumed on Mon-Wed

Now that the fork is done, will you enable payouts from the pool again at some point?

usukan, thank you. I helped install a new wallet. On the previous version of the addnode task nothing. But dbug does not open. But of course the addnode operation is entered, something else I remember from those times when I extracted the world. Thanks for the help!!!

Congratulations to the whole team!

We have successfully passed the fork block.

Thx
