Re: HoboNickels - HBN - High Fast Stake - Version 1.5 Beta Release 2 - Full S4C
Question for everyone.
I am going to be making a choice about IRC. There are 2 options that I see.
#1 Remove it completely from the code. It is already disabled and will only use IRC if the users forces it with -irc=1.
#2 Or we can also keep it in there and I can add to it, so it will connect to a IRC channel and allow users to chat with each other. The wallet will not use it to look for peers though.
Do we remove and forget about IRC, or keep it and expand it's usage?

Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.
Replace "email" with "IRC".Just tongue-in-cheek, though. I'd like to have it active on HYP to see if people use it (since HYP is all about experimenting and also have a pretty active IRC, it would make sense).
The main reason is to incentive people to stake on a daily basis rather then only a few times with large blocks. Mostly it would be to prevent someone from simply holding thousands of coins offline, and then bring them back online after a long time and get a very large reward, for doing almost no network protection.
A very elegant explanation, much better than the ones I came up with. I just updated the HyperStake Wikia page about max subsidy accordingly.Finally, regarding 1.5 beta 2: out of the version number mentionning 1.4.8 (I assume it is related to a technical constraint with github), very nice. First, it finally compiled (you remember I could not compile previous versions. Unfortunately, I had to redownload the whole blockchain. Not a big deal, but worth mentionning.
Oh! I also notice you finally fixed the ugly positionning of the "New", "Add" and "Upload" button on the bottom left by increasing the width of the buttons. Much better now
