Well looks like livecoin may be finished, or at least down for a long time.  Any other exchanges scifi could get listed on?

Looks like problem is just SSL cert config related so warnings popping up, expiration looks ok.

From US use vpn, DOGE market because current price unknown. And Nova never had big liquidity. I traded KED and BUK2 before.

Yeah, used vpn but was more than that for creating a new account.  Enabling deposits require name, address and cell, enabling withdrawals require veriff which appears to be scanning documents for identity.  So if US then no way to get past that, guessing those with old accounts get grandfathered in.

Definitely miss the old wild west crypto days.

Document scans do not require, I gave them only the mailing address, but I am not from the USA

Ok thx, maybe docs not required for non-US withdrawals.  I didn't go farther after reading their levels since obv need some way to withdraw coins, figured there was no way past for US residents:

Nova Exchange Account Levels

1. Nova Member
    A fresh account with only e-mail and phone number verified.
    No Deposits. No Withdrawals.
2. Nova Trader
    An account with contact details filled in.
    Deposits enabled. No Withdrawals.
3. Verified Nova Trader
    Fully verified account where the user has passed our Veriff verification process.
    Deposits enabled. Withdrawal enabled up to $10,000 per day.

    For users requiring higher withdrawal limits, please contact our customer support.

Your account is currently at level 1.

And clicking on withdraw for any coin popped up "Regulated by law Nova Standard Exchange is forced to know their customers incase of withdrawals. Please click here to verify your identity to enable withdrawal."

Anyone know when the Nova exchange listing goes live for scifi?  Tia.

Listed today, but looks like non-US accounts only and no BTC pair available. Not looking good for liquidity.

What's next, no development is visible, everything is frozen. DEV, any news about the development of a coin.

Yeah been very quiet. But both POW+POS have been mining fine. IIRC waiting to list on Novaexchange, last Wed news said they're getting closer to allow opening to new user accounts, guessing that prob aligns with new coin listings.

Btw think it's worth mentioning so far vampirus has been a top notch dev imo.  Cheers.

Something wrong was with time.windows.com server. I found that one of my computers set to 1 hour ahead since yesterday.
Just set computer time and restart wallet, soon all start working.

Hmm, I didn't see this on any of my computers. You said max time drift is 3 min, so wouldn't this limit prevent any times 1 hour into the future? Also, the time is UTC so even if time is ahead one hour, UTC time should still be correct regardless of what Windows tells you is the time.

Something buggy, no?

it does seem dangerous that my (correct time) linux daemon/wallet was immediately accepting blocks generated 1 hour into the future. they should have been ignored (at least until the correct time catches up to the block's time.)

It would be interesting to see a postmortem from an expert like vamp.  Maybe too nuanced to be meaningful, but curious if it should be thought of as a low probability event that occurred (was it a specific case where majority high-stake pos miners with UTC+1 took over, but chain operation was still robust in the end), or actually a corner case because the fix required outright action from a majority miner (resetting their clock)?

Arguing against the latter point, was the "fix" simply that with enough miners coming online with the correct time it would "clean up" the network adjusted time (baseline https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_timestamp
)?

i'm noticing new blocks arriving consistently 1 hour into the future the last couple days.
Just found this in my debug.log. Yes, seems to be an issue with timestamps:

Code:
CheckStake() : new proof-of-stake block found  
  hash: 782039806d45cb037e7b07e74ec1637058a8b5959b2d5d2fe348847a5a21b840

...
ERROR: AcceptBlock() : block's timestamp is too early
ERROR: ProcessBlock() : AcceptBlock FAILED
ERROR: CheckStake() : ProcessBlock, block not accepted

Edit:
Yeah, guess there is something wrong with nTime/ntp.cpp? The following workaround 'fixed' my 'issue', but it's really... shady.

1) Close the UnitedSciFi client. Sync your system time.
2) Disable time syncing and set your local system time to current time + one hour.
3) Enable the NTP server on your local machine: https://www.interfacett.com/blogs/creating-standalone-ntp-server-windows/
4) Start the UnitedSciFi client.

PoS worked again.

Curiosity question: to my untrained eye, won't the client fix also require forking/checkpoint from where the problem happened (181997?) since currently the UTC timestamps of all the blocks since then are wrong?  Trying to conceptualize how miners with the correct time could get back on the current longest chain without kludging the client to mess with how timestamps are agreed to.

Something wrong with the chain?

LPool: Last share 29 hours ago
Solo: Everything rejected
Also haven't seen a POS hit for a day or so.

Please check?


Yeah noticed same thing here, no POW on pool or solo, and have had decent stake inputs but no rewards since height 181996.

We made it to $0.02 on coinmarketcap today wooohhooo!

Yep that was an epic run but looks like it's over. Personally didn't think QBT would ever see 10+ cents and 30+ BTC volume. The whale manhandled it.
