This is why I have always felt keeping some level of POW in a coin is important. People don't tend to want to keep their wallets open 24/7.
I would open mine to help things move a little, but all my coins are in limbo somewhere just outside of Bittrex...

The richlist has my balance wrong... I guess it doesn't count coins that have just staked and are waiting for confirmation?

exactly

I compiled the new wallet daemon and it's downloading the blockchain again. Hope this will fix the isues on the richlist.
I'll leave a reply when it is updated.

Also, is there a working block explorer? cryptoblox is not updating (2014-06-21 22:50:20)

edit: blockchain has been downloaded and processed. can someone please verify if the ballance is correct? (note this is not the wallet amount but the address amount)
you can check the address amount under advanced coin control.

Insomniac: The richlist goes by your deposit addresses, not the total OC in your wallet.

Oizo: You the man, thanks. No regrets asking you for the richlist! Smiley

I know, I only have one address in my wallet, but the rich list is still not showing the correct amount.

Strange, are you staking, have you staked? Does the rich list show more or less than you should have? There's been no forks, so that's not the reason. If you'd like to PM with your details, I'll try to figure it out for you.

Finally worked this out, it seems that when staking the wallet will generate new addresses to put the coins in. In my case the missing coins are in one of these addresses. The dont show up in "recieve" but you can see them under coin control.

Had a thought after I replied to your PM.

Just my opinion from experiences: I think the Wallet or PoS has code that tries to self-maintain, self-level or self-preserve to even out the staking difficulty or "PoS hashrate", as my experience with staking has been halving my minting over and over as time goes by. Also, when I receive large amounts to my wallet from the exchange or wherever, the transaction is for X but the coin control shows the deposit into my wallet as X divided by two and as 2 deposits. All my minting and deposits are 100% correct in the total amounts, they are what they are supposed to be. I haven't experienced this anywhere else in crypto, but is a neat feature(?) - self-leveling PoS difficulty.

Yes this all is correct, this is a great thing Split PoS does. One other the things Spliting does is allows easier spending, with out throwing of the whole stacks coin age. What I mean is, if you have 20 OC and it mints. You get 2- 10 OC stacks, both start coin age over agian to 0 after minting. Now if you want to send 5 OC 10 days after that mint, you can pick 1 of the 2- 10 OC stacks (stack A and B) to send it from. So you pick stack A to send from. Well stack B stays in your wallet and stays at age 10 days only 4 days away from minting. Stack A is send out and the 5 OC remaning returns to you wallet as change. So Stack A now has 5 OC at age 0 and Stack B has 10 OC at 10 day old. Instead of the whole 20 OC being now 15 OC at age 0.

Sending out whole stacks and getting the change back is how all cryptos work, when the stack is bigger then the sending amount. It's just with our PoS split it helps to solve resetting big block coin age to send small amounts just before mint age hits. I hope I explained this ok, I'm on my mobile atm, and hard to keep rereading what I have

Perfect! Thanks, Jim. I'd assume it's better for network security as well, reducing the odds of a 51% via staking from having a higher constant rate versus the spikes of huge stakes then little ones.

Ahh ok, thanks jim, explained it perfectly. So when you get change back it goes in to its own temporary address, is it ever meant to return back to the address it came from?

Is it possible to mine with multiple workers? There is nothing in the how to about this.

Yes you can use multiple workers as long as they are all valid CAIx addresses.

great idea  Smiley

So we have to use different addresses per worker? We can't point them all at the same address? If this is the case it is work adding to the getting started section.

You can use one address for all workers, or different addresses for each worker or group of workers, the workers address will get payment for the shares sent.

Thanks for the clarification!

I would check to see if any of the wallets that work have a copy of msvcrt.dll and if so copy it to the unum folder. If not see if you can find a copy from else where. You will want the win7 version or later.

I think it sounds reasonable so far, I do have a couple of questions though.
It was mentioned before that a static IP is required. I guess this is because an address needs to be provided so it can be added to the config file.
Is it possible instead to have a domain name that tracks a dynamic IP? Or must it be static?
Also, someone mentioned that DDOS protection would be required as the nodes would be targetted. Is this just an assumption or has this been proven to be the case from other coins that have masternodes set up?
What is the real risk in hosting a node on a server used for other perposes?


Ddos isn't necessary if you are able to restart your server/node immediately after an attack. But are you able to stand by your computer for days? DDOS protects your server from this and ensures your node stays up and provides that security of knowing the node is safe to the network. Your server if used for anything else woud be affected by such an attack since ddos attacks go for the entire server, not the part with the node.

I understand that if ddosed all services would be effected, I suppose my question was more what the chances of a ddos occurring, are there any known accounts if a ddos against masternodes?

 Would like my other question answered more though, would a domain like ones from no-ip work, or does the connection have to be a static ip?
