Re: CHESSCOIN - 32% POS - COIN FOR CHESS COMMUNITY

The 2nd entry in my blog is dedicated to the checkpoint:

Please see the bug report for an overview:
* no uptodate checkpoint: https://github.com/COINFORCHESS/ChessCoin/issues/1

Why is it good to have a checkpoint ?
* at least until the checkpoint time the blockchain can not be manipulated anymore
* the syncing speed for new users will be better
* since their clients with a newer checkpoint will decline clients which are on a fork

Hey, that's good news in the early morning Wink

The checkpoint is important for building a bootstrap.dat?
If I build a bootstrap.dat for ChessCoin then end this ~ Sep. 2016 and then the blockchain must be downloaded...
So far every month I'm saving all blockchain for security and for new users...
Do we need a new wallet for Win, iOS and Linux?

Best regards

I am running and staking my chesscoin walllet downloaded a week ago if there are some weakness on it I don't know there are 4 to 6 active connections and I'm earning a good amount from staking but it will be good if you can create a new version of the wallet since the dev is using the old one i can donate 2000 chesscoin and the other could follow

Thanks for your feedback :-)

I have actually experienced the same, currently max. 6 peers

here is the task I created:
* how many peers do users get in the wallet? https://github.com/chess-fan/MCT/issues/5

about "new version":
* as stated in the roadmap draft (1): "this is what I am currently doing:
analyzing the ChessCoin project: the software, the community and other aspects"

but I also do not want o shit on someone's project, that's why we need to identify what the current dev intends to do from here on (2).

(2) see my blog: "But let's not forget... first the current dev (aka: Isolani159) needs to be contacted about his plans (why he did not update yet; his ongoing plans with ChessCoin; ...) before starting something that brings only negative thoughts, frustration into this all - this is surely not what we all need or want!" https://github.com/chess-fan/thoughts
