Thanks guys!

I do understand that there are some bugs in the HBN wallet and network.  Namely the assert failures dealing the blk*.dat files and the error 22 files dealing with wallets.

I haven't had a wallet error 22 myself, so that is a bit more difficult for me to trouble shoot. I do believe this last case (based on what was said here) is the database directory had some bad data, and this caused the wallet to fail to be loaded. The wallet.dat may have been fine. Difficult to tell from this end.  I just wonder if strawie had started a fresh directly with only that wallet, which was causing problems, would the error 22 still have happened?

The assert failures I can now (mostly) duplicate.  So I will be looking for the root cause and solution. Both of these will be in focus as we get closer to 1.4.  I can not promise I will be able to fix both or either of them, but I will continue to look deeper. If there are any other coin developers that may have any ideas I would be glad to brainstorm.

Remember btc has fairly big team with years of development.  HBN has me, and I've only been doing this for about 6 months now.  I do my best to search through the pull requests of many coins. BTC, PPC, NVC. If anyone sees pull request that deals with either of these, please bring it to my attention, it may help.

I am trying to push the envelope, good or bad, on what can be done with a coin. Some of this will cause bugs.

I plan to complete a bit more work on stake for charity this week, the move on to some of these and other issues. 

I hope that in the next year or so HBN could be part of a bigger picture which many sites choose to use this coin for general spending and for charitable giving. Obviously we will have to work some of these issue out as we go.  As I understand they can be frustrating and cause people to turn away.  Neither of these is satisfactory in my eye.  But for now it is what it is.

Thanks all and carry on the good fight.
