1 of the main reasons people should switch to cryptos

The Swiss government has become the first ever to issue a 10Y sovereign bond at a negative yield.

A further possibility:
Huobi, BTC-China and OKCoin are preparing their ZEIT walletz for the amazing "Brotherz Reunited" event.

The Zeit Block Explorer on multifaucet is being bombarded by IP Addresses
with No Subver, version should be 2.0.1.6 or 2.0.1.5 , the never updated guys would be .072

Hi kiklo,

Subversion isn't important imo - but the protocol version.
What do you mean with being bombarded? Is there any sign of a single connection attack?

Code:
// network protocol versioning

static const int PROTOCOL_VERSION = 60007;

// earlier versions not supported as of Feb 2012, and are disconnected
static const int MIN_PROTO_VERSION = 209;

Their protocol version is 0, too.
Means -> auto disconnect.
Why doesn't it work on multifaucet?

Chainz seems to be working as usual.

Have seen 2 or 3 on chainz in the past , but at the moment none are showing up on chainz and ~7 are showing up on the multifaucet. Always wondered if those at protocol 0 could cause a freeze up of the wallet, that would require a restart to clear, no proof just a feeling.
Multifaucet has been slow in updating the new blocks for a week now.
They are minutes behind on their block updates where they used to be ~ same speed as chainz.
Something strange is going on there, did PM Grinz about it.

PS: Would be nice if someone could test the Linux version.

I could possibly scare up a linux vmx and give that a shot bruh. All work and no nerd play time is making solar a dull boy.

Based on kiklo's windows script:

MacOS script (ZeitCoin Client - TESTED):

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#MACOSX
echo "\n\n\n\nZeitcoin Chain Loader (CTRL-C [^C] to close)\n"
while [ true ] ; do
echo "Loading...\n\n"
/Applications/zeitcoin-qt.app/Contents/MacOS/zeitcoin-qt &
sleep 3600
osascript -e 'quit app "zeitcoin-qt"'
echo "Restarting...\n\n"
sleep 90
done

Copy the code into a file called synczeit_osx.sh and start it in the terminal with:
>   sh synczeit_osx.sh



Linux/FreeBSD/Darwin script (ZeitCoin Client - UNTESTED):
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#LINUX
echo -e "\n\n\n\nZeitcoin Chain Loader (CTRL-C to close)\n"
while [ true ] ; do
echo -e "Loading...\n\n"
/path/to/zeitcoin-qt &
sleep 3600
killall -9 zeitcoin-qt
echo -e "Restarting...\n\n"
sleep 90
done

First replace with your application path, then
copy the code into a file called synczeit_linux.sh and start it in the terminal with:
>   sh synczeit_linux.sh

Cheers,
Ray

Good work, kiklo.

We should fix that issue in (one of) the next versions:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/4468 (Bitcoin: Headers first patch)

It ends up with a fork.

Cheers,
Ray

In the Future Version with https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/4468 (Bitcoin: Headers first patch),
Would also adding  https://github.com/google/leveldb in the same version.
Give any gains that would be useful?

After talking with Sa_ddam213 , it has become apparent we need to improve the 1st time syncing process for anyone not downloading the Monthly Blockchain or using the BootStrap for the initial Sync.
Thanks to his suggestion, this idea unfolds

We create a batch or script file to be included with each wallet downloads, that restarts the wallet automatically every hour.  Windows User would place both zeitcoin-qt.exe & SyncZeit.bat in the same directory. 1st time sync users would run SyncZeit.bat which would automatically start the Zeit Wallet and Close & Restart it each Hour. Once Fully Synced they can close the SyncZeit.bat window and delete the SyncZeit.bat file as it would never be needed on the PC again. Then access the wallet normally from then after.

Wrote 1 for Windows called called SyncZeit.bat
Can be downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/s/bq0crpw4d8mswfb/SyncZeit.bat?dl=0
______________________________________________
@echo off
:loop
cls
start /min zeitcoin-qt.exe -maxconnections=8
Echo 1st Time Sync with Zeit Network
timeout /t 3600
taskkill /im zeitcoin-qt.exe
echo Wait 90 seconds before Restarting Wallet
timeout /t 90
goto loop
________________________________________________

Now we only need to make a script for the Mac & Linux.
We include the scripts with each wallet in the rar file.
And we can post a link to the linux script for anyone that gets it directly from Github.

slowly making progress, up to block 886908.

I've never even heard of buttercoin.

And that is why they are shutting down, not enough exposure for the capital invested.
Weird part they had even received seed money from google ventures.

 Cool

FYI:
With Buttercoin gone , what will we put on our toastcoin?   Huh
Maybe Maplecoin , where is a BlueberryJamcoin when you need it.  Cheesy

Got this via twatter - may be of some help for those who don't yet quite understand how the whole staking thing works.

Quote
This gets asked a lot whenever we have an unusually high Stake Weight on VeriStats - "How is it that there's X million stake weight if only 27 million coins exist?", so I figured this would help clear up some confusion with some very old wallets reviving - we'll be over 27M stake weight for a while probably.

The key here is Coin Age. Coin age is determined by the last time that particular Vericoin has been staked (and is reset if the VRC is sent to another wallet). It has a multiplicative effect on the likelyhood of contributing to block completion, and the portion of the payout. When a wallet is actively staking with only very brief periods of downtime, coin age is kept very low for all coins in that wallet. However, when a wallet is left offline for long periods of time (up to 365days - technically the max coin age of VRC), that allows the coin age to stack up to levels that would count those particular coins to many times their normal contribution to the network's stake weight. This means that when a large wallet, or a medium sized very old wallet, is staked for the first time in months, the network's Stake Weight will reflect that. As the coins are staked, it will level out, and the wallet's contribution to the network will no longer be weighted nearly as heavily. This is what allows Stake Weight to be larger than the total coins in existence.

As a general rule, high Stake Weight is a great sign. It means either A. A large number of coins are being actively staked, indicating a very strong network (after PoST, keep an eye out for this behavior ^_^), or B. Old, inactive nodes, are taking an interest in their wallet again - also a good sign for obvious reasons, and predictably occurs after a new release.

4-5 restarts are needed because of the max orphan memory issue.

Sorry for the delay in listing, we seem to be having a lot of trouble syncing the wallet, been a few days and still only at block 700k, it stops every few hours and needs to be restarted.

I cant find any reason why its downloading so slow, we have synced 5 other coins in the same time, so I think its just the peers we are connecting to

Hoping it will finish tomorrow or the next day and it will be live for trading.
