Sux. Still, as you mentioned it is pretty reliable and it will be hard to find something better in that price range. I've heard a lot of good things about this place lately but never used them so have no clue if good or not. http://www.dreamhost.com/servers/vps/

Thanks. Or maybe I should redo the whole server to handle reboots gracefully (erm... at all Cheesy

). I'm surprised it even works as is TBH. Grin

So we still think transactions will have a reasonable chance of being minted in 90 days? If so - that voids all of my concerns above.

Well, it the short/mid-term, yes. No clue if it will hold long-term. But even then, this aspect can be changed without a hard-fork if most of the nodes will be honest (at least short-term

) by increasing the minimum amount of YAC required for PoS and bumping the coin split threshold up a little - thus decreasing the number of PoS blocks required by a single address to get interest on all of its coins.

I thought if the update prevented two POS blocks from being being consecutive, this would reduce the number of POS blocks to 720 per day. With less POS blocks, I was concerned that our transactions may sit for months (or years) before having a chance of being minted. Transactions would quickly hit their coin-age cap (90 days) and only a static few (~720) transactions would be minted each day. I have this issue with PPC - I have several transactions that haven't been minted in over a year and they are no longer gaining coin-age. They are all reasonably sized and have hundreds of coin-years in age. Never the less, they aren't minting - making them less appealing to hang on to (not to mention the full year I've wasted holding on to them). I just wanted to make sure we didn't introduce a bottleneck like this to YAC.

I've rewritten the code to actually allow consecutive PoS blocks, but only give non-zero trust to the first one. Also, if my math is correct, YAC is supposed to have 144 PoS blocks/day (10 minute interval), not 720.
