Hi!

I'm not an original dev of this coin, but I have been helping, as you might have noticed.

There is a fix already done, I will push it to github tonight. As someone noted, the source code is public, so you all can review the code. Actually, I hope you do, because these kind of changes on a live coin are risky. The more eyes check it, the better.

You (or I) don't need the priv keys for fixing the coin.

The root cause of the problem is integer math, which will end up with 0 with small coins at these coin parameters.

The hard fork time is planned to be 2.6 18.00 GMT (or whatever the blockchain tz is), but if you all vote for earlier or later time, it can still be changed.


I have noticed your name in the changeset, which made me wondering if a previous FUD was real or not. But since you post here i do believe the FUD was a real FUD Smiley
Great to see someone doing bugfixes!

About the current bug, it is just blocking wallets sometimes?

It rounds stakes with too small coins to 0. Very understandable error; the parameters has changed a lot; max coins down to 1000 and max stake in 3 days.

But here is the good news; as a side effect, at the transition time, the algorithm will share stakes generously, until the retarget algorithm rises the difficulty.. (which can, unfortunately, happen quite quickly) so keep your wallets open!
