Another teaser for you all Wink

and yes... my block of 366 is driving me nuts Tongue

SELECT is good, but it would be even cooler with a MERGE
SELECT < 300 ; MERGE into blocks of 1000, for instance.

I like that. The min and max is a nice feature too. Next step is to get S4C to write to disc and initialize on startup. Good work Tranz Grin

Yes, good work Tranz!

It is optimal under the assumption that you stake every month. Then, the interest you get will be around 1000 HYP, and so not clipped by the max subsidy.
If you keep larger blocks, but open your wallet more often, then you can keep larger blocks and still not get your interest capped.
If you were to stake after 10 days (so, 1.2 days after the shortest time posssible), you could keep blocks of 4500 or something around that value, since you'll get maybe 20%-25% off that, which is almost 1000. But you get clipped if your block takes a while to stake (and as difficulty gets higher, it tends to go that way).

We are working on a fully-fledged solution, ideally something like a wizard asking you "how often do you plan to open your wallet most of the time"? You enter the value and the wallet automatically optimise your blocks accordingly.

but it has the age column in coin control that moneromooo added which has become an essential piece of information for me

Yes, essential is the word.

Hi Guys,

just after some help please. i downloaded hyp wallet on new machine last night, it was synching fine so i sent some HYP from polo to the new address, then fell asleep. When i woke up my machine had turned itself off and when i reboot and try and run hyperstake-qt it gives me an error saying "error loading blkindex.dat" and the application closes. does anyone have any ideas what may be wrong? i know i was bit stupid to send my coins before it had fully synched, will there be any way to recover them?

thanks in advance for any assistance offered. Wink

Hi and welcome!
I never experienced this. I'd say: delete all the content of your %Appdata%HyperStake folder (assuming you're on Windows, ~/.HyperStake if you are on Mac or Linux) EXCEPT the wallet and maybe .conf/.config). Then restart and wait for resync (and cancel the autosleep feature on your machine at least until sync is complete).
I guess this was some kind of data corruption at OS level (power out, maybe?), not something related to HYP itself.

I added some more information on the HyperStake Development page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=722227.msg8595629#msg8595629. Foxy or presstab, just ask me for the password for this account.

I had a great conversation with Trololoh yesterday on ##hyperstake. I will try to sum it up here.

Feature requests

Multi-wallet (à la HBN)

makes it easier for one person to cater for various NGO
makes it easier for everyone to separate "my wallet" from "tip bot", from "reserve for buying gift for grandma's birthday", "paying IRS"

Stake for Charity
a.k.a "The Caritas Initiative"
Drop-down menu for S4C with headers
----------------------------------------------- ||===========================================|| || HYP-centered || ||===========================================|| || {*} {x%} Stacking bounty (?) || || {*} {x%} HYP development (?) || || {*} {x%} Faucet #1 (?) || || {*} {x%} Faucet #2 (?) || || {*} {x%} HyperShield (?) || ||===========================================|| || NGO || ||===========================================|| || {*} {x%} Red Cross (?) || || {*} {x%} Reporters without Borders (?) || || {*} {x%} Transparency international (?) || ||===========================================|| || Causes of the month || ||======================================+====|| || {*} {x%} ALS (Icebucket Challenge) (?) || || {*} {x%} Presstab's birthday (?) || ||===========================================|| || Custom || ||===========================================|| || {*} {x%} (enter address) (?) || -----------------------------------------------

The "(?)" button leads to a pop-up window wich explains the charity and mention, if necessary, that such charity also donate to another charity (daisy chain charity). For instance "1% of the faucet goes to Red Cross".

For Faucets, the (?) will explain that the faucets are meant to be self-replenishing.

For "(enter address)", people would have a "save" option to permanently save this address, like in the address book. Example: one want to give specifically for the translation in Portuguese, he enters the right address (of course, a bounty address for this must have been generated first)

Finally, one can donate to several charities ({*}) and even decide of the amount (base: 1%, min: 0.25% max: 100%) ({x%})

"Fidelity program": "Dear HYP holder. This is now 14 days you've been staking on a daily basis. Ain't it good to receive daily coins? We propose you to give 1% (or more) of these daily gains to one or more cause(s) of your choice. This will be completely transparent for you, the wallet will handle everything. You can always turn it off later, but remember that a small deed can go a long way."

Catchy names
(a.k.a. brandable names)
Inspiration: Apple with catchy names like "CoreAudio", "Quartz", "Grand Central"
Examples:

HyperProof: new stacking code (will require hardwork, not in less than 6 months)
HyperShield: voluntary buy wall to enforce a minimal price
HyperSpread: the wizard that helps getting new stake every day (people would have it easier giving away 1% of their coins if they stake daily - when you see a daily popup (or even several), you are happier. And when you are happier, you are eager to give some money)

Ideally, people would forget about 750% because the rest of the coin (communication, actions) would overshadow this "issue".

Others

IRC chat (like TRK)
SMS sending (like MYR)
Themable wallet (with CSS)
On/off features (with checkboxes, risk of bloating)

"Empower the users, they will reward you"
"Let's reinvent PoS!"
