What should we do to get this running again?
I have 0.8.1, and am connected only to 0.8.1 connections. I'm mining with 2mhz, which should be enough to find blocks at this difficulty, but I'm not getting any blocks after several hours.
Would it help if for the time being, we created 66.conf files that that only connect to other 0.8.1 wallets?
I did this by using connect=(0.8.1 node ip) and limiting my maxconnections= to prevent older wallets from connecting.
Is there anything else we can do to jump start this?
It needs a code change to continue, GetBlockTeplate returns negative numbers so you will NEVER find another block on the network, which mean nothing is EVER going to confirm.
The dev needs to fix this ASAP
No Blocks = No Confirmations
Without working deposits/withdraws we have had to suspend trading, but people cant even withdraw their coins.
As far as I can see there are 3 options:
1. Change the code to generate 0 reward blocks, so mining can still move the network, but may be hard to find people willing to mine for txfees only
2. Change the code to increase the total coin amount and continue as normal
3. Implement a POS feature, would still require a greater than 66 coin total, but would allow transactions to move without mining.
This problem is NOT going to be fixed by people all connecting to a certain node version, not even sure why anyone would think that.
I am with you and am willing to create a new version in fact already had thought and said, the only problem is that many miners will like losing all 66coin that have undermined and time invested.
keep looking solution to this problem.
