A lot of newcomers to crypto soon call $5 a lot of money.

Changing the minimum coin age would put more coins out there available for stake.  This would increase the net stake weight, which would increase the PoS difficulty, which would lower the Annual Stake Percentage, which would help keep inflation from running away.  At least that's my theory.

Yes lots of solutions can be done for CPU. That is the easy part.  I am leaning towards 45 -50  sec target time, and stake starting age of 1 day right now. It is not purely my decision.

Thanks,
I have updated the first page.

Hi Isotactic,  I am not accepting personal donations at this time. But thank you.

We do have a charity page on the main website http://hobonickels.info/donate.php. I have 4 wallets loaded up with 1,000 HBN each and I am donating 50% to each of those address.  I do not control any of those addresses.  See https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/9606-hbn-trouble-shooting-and-user-guide-stake-for-charity/page-2 for using multiple wallets to use for s4c.

Regarding your suggested site.  That would be great to have them on board! Just let us know if they accept and when they have an address listed, and we can see about getting it added to the donation page.

Thanks!

HBN pow difficulty retargets every block, so no need to post it on every retarget))

2mullick: is it safe now to send/receive HBN to/from Crypsty?

Hello,

I was inquiring about you accepting donations in HoboNickels. It is a cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin, with a proof of stake feature. One of the benefits of this coin is that the developer has implemented code in the wallet that allows for stake blocks to donate a small portion of the stake to a wallet of their choosing. This allows a miner who is generating proof of stake blocks to donate small amounts of currency on a regular basis, with minimal effort. I believe that by accepting HoboNickel donations you could further the excellent cause of Sean's Outpost while at the same time providing a holder of HoboNickel a great reason to donate. I hope that you do consider this proposal. If you do believe that this is a good idea, please let me know what your Hobonickel deposit address so that I may update my wallet in order to stake for your cause.

Thank you,

Im working on getting added to the twitter feed. Ill start posting updates on mine for now @CryptsyMullick

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.

I made around 0.5 BTC, all from mining and dumped immediately when Poloniex market came online, I didn't buy any.  It was tempting to purchase some when I saw the price below 0.001 but I decided not to, what a great choice that was

I guess it was people like me who probably contributed to its demise.  But anymore, dumping mined coins as soon as they're able to be traded is about the only way to make money.  There are very, very few out there anymore with enough support for long-term growth.

yes but what is the final block #?

20Days/40 Days max, Start staking at 161280.

cryptokillers not up

40 confirmations btw...

what do you mean by instamined
i'm sure that he's not intamine it with one CPU
