Has the beta been moved to production yet ? I am eager to stake some SCC on a shared MN and am not sure if new MN's will be added to the current version, should I wait until the beta is in production ? All in all very positive about this project.

^^^ The fix for above was:

add:

rpcport=4835

to both wolfcoin.conf and sentinel.conf

(note, port 4836 is relevant to masternode.conf)

I am having trouble getting the sentinel running, it says:

Code:

venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py
[Errno 111] Connection refused
Cannot connect to wolfcoind. Please ensure wolfcoind is running and the JSONRPC port is open to Sentinel.


The up and running daemon's config (in /root/.wolfcoin/wolfcoin.conf looks as follow:

Code:

# specify path to energi.conf or leave blank
# default is the same as EnergiCore
#energi_conf=/home/dev/.energicore/energi.conf

# valid options are mainnet, testnet, or testnet60x (default=mainnet)
network=mainnet
#network=testnet

# database connection details
db_name=database/sentinel.db
db_driver=sqlite
server=1
rpcuser=MYUSER
rpcpassword=MYPASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1


The daemon is started from a different directory using ./wolfcoind -daemon (and there is no alternate conf file in that directoy).

The wolfcoin-cli client on the vps succeeds with:

Code:

 ./wolfcoin-cli  -rpcuser=SOMEUSER -rpcpassword=SOMEPASSWORD  getinfo
{
  "version": 120303,
  "protocolversion": 70210,
  "walletversion": 61000,
  "balance": 0.00000000,
  "privatesend_balance": 0.00000000,
  "blocks": 315739,
  "timeoffset": 0,
  "connections": 14,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 28743.82117521081,
  "testnet": false,
  "keypoololdest": 1563733002,
  "keypoolsize": 999,
  "paytxfee": 0.00000000,
  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
  "errors": ""
}


(but fails with ./wolfcoin-cli  -rpcuser=NO_SUCH_USER -rpcpassword=MYPASSWORD1 getinfo)

The sentinel config looks as follow (note the attempt to specify path to wolfcoin.conf, apart from that a symbolic link was also tried to/from /root/.wolfcoin/wolfcoin.conf in the sentinel directory before uncommenting the _conf line)

Code:

# specify path to energi.conf or leave blank
# default is the same as EnergiCore
energi_conf=/root/.wolfcoin/wolfcoin.conf
wolfcoin_conf=/root/.wolfcoin/wolfcoin.conf

# valid options are mainnet, testnet, or testnet60x (default=mainnet)
network=mainnet
#network=testnet

# database connection details
db_name=database/sentinel.db
db_driver=sqlite
rpcuser=MYUSER
pcpassword=MYPASSWORD


In the windows wallet, under my masternodes, it says the masternode has been active 16h44 and last seen a couple of minutes ago, only the status says SENTINEL_PING_EXPIRED.

masternode status gives the following:

Code:

{
  "outpoint": "7e095ed80b1afba69146376b8ed1795ad5b4e13cfee06f76a493a63665427a4c-1",
  "service": ":4836",
  "payee": "WXifBojHiwA7kCCTLf3jYE1rtQ1iR3CaPV",
  "status": "Masternode successfully started"
}


If I understand correctly the sentinel MUST be running for MN rewards.

Please help.

Re: [ANN][TOKEN] XYO - Decentralized Crypto-Location Oracle Network. Sale 20.03

Have not read the whitepaper yet, but what are the planned incentives for running the various components of XYO, sentinel/bridge/diviner/archive/ and recommended hardware specs. and other requirements (especially XYO to be locked if any) ?

Also, would you consider lowering the 0.5 ETH minimum ICO buy-in for the last couple of days ?

Hey there! XYO tokens will be used as credits to request information from the network. All components along the Proof of Origin Chain get paid for their involvement in fetching the answer to the query. Sentinels, Bridges, Archivists, and Diviners are all rewarded for their work in XYO tokens. You can read more on that specifically, from part 9 of section 3.3 of the whitepaper [1]. For an overview of how the components operate, check out section 3.2. You can also read a little more on rewards and incentivisation from section 6 of the whitepaper. Smiley

With regards hardware specs, the XYO Network is an open system that any operator of location devices can plug into and begin earning XYO Tokens. With regards mining (verifying proof of origin chains) check out these pages [2][3] for more info.


Excellent, thanks.

sorry i cant help you with the transaction. but after i read you post i checked the price. this i crazy. for a few seconds i thought about selling. what the hell will happen after the release if this continues like this.

Don't know what will happen, but if you take the growth since 11/4 it does not look all that apocalyptic yet (perhaps even a healthy correction)

I have claimed my tokens from ICO and it shows up in myetherwallet.com linked to Metamask, despite the ETH transactions for deposit for ico and claiming of EOS succeeding in metamask (the EOS is correctly showing up in Metamask) I can not seem to send EOS tokens to either KuCoin nor okex.com. I have increased gas price to 50 GWEI but no transactions are going through, just remains pending for about two and half hours now.

Does the following transaction look right ? i.e. correct contract etc. ?

{"nonce":"0x05","gasPrice":"0x04a817c800","gasLimit":"0xd9e3","to":"0x86fa049857e0209aa7d9e616f7eb3b3b78ecfdb0","value":"0x00","data":"","chainId":1}

(I have about 0.03 ETH in my wallet for gas)

What i must did with my eos tokens before launching mainnet. I hold them on binance account or i moved from it

You must send your tokens to one of the compatible wallets, such as Metamask (browser extension) or MyEthereumWallet.com before 1/6/18 (actually before 2/6/18 I think).
AND you must generate a public/private EOS keypair at eos.io which must be registered (also at eos.io). There will apparently be a snapshot of the chainstate after which it will be impossible to send/trade the tokens again. The registration of the key(s) and snapshot will then apparently be used by third party developers to issue new coins/tokens or otherwise be used to determine your holding in the EOS  platform as I understand it.

From the EOS ICO website:

Quote
REGISTER
•
If you hold EOS Tokens in an Ethereum account and fail to register your Ethereum address to your EOS public key, then your EOS Tokens may not be part of a Snapshot (as defined below) a third party may wish to create when the EOS Tokens become fixed and non-transferable on the Ethereum blockchain. In order to be part of such Snapshot, it is important that you generate an EOS public and private key pair (see the “Generate EOS keys” button below) and register your EOS public key with your Ethereum address prior to the EOS Tokens becoming fixed and non-transferable on the Ethereum blockchain which will occur within 23 hours after the end of the final period on June 1, 2018 at 22:59:59 UTC.

I think this lays to rest the accusation that according to EOS themselves the EOS token has no 'use', and indeed it does not (except for trading until the cutoff date).

The coin or token that will be released in accordance to the above (snapshot) will however have very real use and value.

EOS has been presented as a replacement of Ethereum, but its price climb once again looks unsustainable. EOS broke above $20 again before starting to slide - and triggered new talks of displacing Ethereum. EOS, which has a supply about 10 times larger than Ethereum, is still far from the three-digit prices. However, Ethereum just a year ago was in the price range of EOS.

The extremely active EOS trade on OKEx may be one of the reasons why Tethers (USDT) are rising in volumes. EOS is paired with the fixed-price token, and profit taking or stop losses are showing that the USDT is a necessity when it comes to securing crypto gains. In the case of EOS, the wild series of volume records, unprecedented BTC and dollar prices, may be broken by skeptics. The involvement of Brock Pierce in the project, the talks of price manipulation, and the potential troubles around the elections for block producers may shake the confidence in this project.

I agree to some extent, but note that Ethereum had an active main-net while EOS still has to go active (EOS software is already available for test net though, and all seems well on the surface at least).

Looks like EOS reached the peak price... now falling back to $5!

Personally I don't think that is it, though the dip may trigger anxiety snowballing into selloffs (or it may simply continue to go up and down alongside BTC)

EOS is going Down trend
A price correction?

A good to sell some and buy again in the dip?

Many alts climb and fall alongside BTC, sometimes in a slightly delayed fashion.

There was a dip in BTC since about 3am UTC this morning, don't know if it is an inflated correlation with BTC perhaps.

Seems fairly similar to yesterday's (delayed) correlated 07:15 to 11:00 bitcoin dip and subsequent gradual climb.

With the exception of conventional block or transaction verification / mining / masternodes:

Do we have a list somewhere of existing and upcoming coins that make good (meaningful) use of server resources such as witnesses or rewarding units of resources used:

I have so far:

Steem
Bitshares (and Cryptobridge?)
Substratum
Gladius
Shift
Peerplays
EOS
XYO
Turtle Network
Universa

Andy, do we need a separate wallet address for staking coins in the future? As coin collector said, we are receiving the rewards for MN on the same address  as masternode is running on.  Can we let the rewards  one the same address for staking or send them to a separate address?

You can use you masternode address for staking. There is no isssues with that. The amount of 1000 coins will be always locked and will not participate in your staking volume but the coins that you earned via MN rewards can contribute for staking. You'll receive your staking rewards at the masternode address too.

I presume the cli wallet (on VPS/linux for most) is good for staking as well, does it need to be unlocked as well ?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but do you simply need to hold XLR in your wallet for staking, can or must you lock the coins and does the wallet need to be online all the time ?

I think the 1 XLR at a time payouts you see at the moment are actually accumulated rewards paid 1 XLR at a time, but I may be wrong.

Thus: 0.9 XLR per block is currently distributed 45% to PoW miners and 45% to MN holders, thus for MN 0.9x0.45/701 (there are about 701 MN holders now). So each block adds a bit up to your reward which is paid out when it reaches 1 XLR

And when PoS starts its first phase, the MN will get say 1x0.45/701 instead for each block.

It's going to be impossible to mine this is a few days, right?

Correct PoW+MN becomes PoS+MN round about 15/4 I think.

would this also result in reduction of MN reward? i mean average reward MN is getting now VS average reward after switching from POW to POS?

As I understand it will effectively increase slightly as currently we have 0.9 XLR per block distributed 45% PoW, 45% MN, 10% Budgeting system, but when PoS start it will be 1 XLR (initially), and I think in the PoS list below the 90% will be more than 45% for MN and less than 45% PoS staking as I remember the dev saying something to that effect sometime ago (MN will earn more than stakers). Perhaps dev can give some clarity ?

From first page:

PoW Rewards Breakdown:
[block’s            2-43200] 20% MN (0.4 XLR)    / 80% MINER (1.6 XLR)
[block’s   43201-151200] 20% MN (0.4 XLR)    / 70% MINER (1.4 XLR)  / 10% Available to the budget system (0.20 XLR)
[block’s 151201-259200] 45% MN (0.9 XLR) / 45% MINER (0.9 XLR) / 10% Available to the budget system (0.2 XLR)

PoS Rewards Breakdown:
PoS Phase 1: [blocks 259201-302399] 1 XLR (90% distributed to staker and masternode - 10% available to budget system)
PoS Phase 2: [blocks 302400-345599] 0.95 XLR (90% distributed to staker and masternode - 10% available to budget system)
PoS Phase 3: [blocks 345600-388799] 0.90 XLR (90% distributed to staker and masternode - 10% available to budget system)
PoS Phase 4: [blocks 388800-431999] 0.85 XLR (90% distributed to staker and masternode - 10% available to budget system)
PoS Phase 5: [blocks 432000-475199] 0.80 XLR (90% distributed to staker and masternode - 10% available to budget system)
PoS Phase 6: [blocks 475200-518399] 0.75 XLR (90% distributed to staker and masternode - 10% available to budget system)
PoS Phase 7: [blocks 518400-561599] 0.70 XLR (90% distributed to staker and masternode - 10% available to budget system)
PoS Phase 8: [blocks 561600-604799] 0.75 XLR (90% distributed to staker and masternode - 10% available to budget system)
PoS Phase 9: [blocks 604800-647999] 0.70 XLR (90% distributed to staker and masternode - 10% available to budget system)
