no!

I've fixed heavycoin:// URI parsing issue and tested it this time / plus updated the builds, sha256 checksums, and signatures.  [It was what you found, but also the length of a string replacement for stripping out "//" needed fixing too.]

If you download 1.3 again you'll get the patched version (1.3-4-g565b5a9).  This build includes improvement to the Chinese translation of "Heavycoin".
The windows installer will have to wait for the next release.

Thanks for your contributions

You're right.  We've missed something.  This will be fixed for the next release, but we'll try to get a point release out sooner.

regarding no1 - There is no Heavycoin windows installer, so I think something needs to be configured in your Windows to make the association work.

regarding no2 -  I guess the forum mangling is related to the length of it... maybe we change to hvc:// Would that fit?

Development update

Heavycoin version 1.3 has been released!  This version contains payment protocol support, a few minor updates and a checkpoint.

Changelog

• Payment protocol support for heavycoin: URIs
• Added checkpoint at height 60,000
• Minor UI fix

Download links are listed on the Heavycoin website and the Heavycoin ANN post
We recommend that everyone upgrades to this version.

The next phase is the "Limit phase".  In the limit phase voting for a lower block reward has the effect reducing the max money supply from 128M to something smaller.

The max vote is still 1024. The duration of the limit phase is in the number of blocks.

So if the voted block reward is 512, then for each block mined 512 coins are effectively lost from the network forever and the total money supply decreases.  (The coins that are "lost" are the 512 that could have been mined if the block reward was the maximum 1024.)

How much HVC for 7 nights stay in your top apartment?

Send me (or mumbly) a PM with your HVC address if you not already.

you are confused. there are only 3 phases of voting. the genesis block is part of the first phase, but not mined. the 53M includes the IPO.  website correctly shows that only 45M are mined in mint phase.


no. the website says 56 days for limit phase, not 45 days.
website has a typo... says 56 days, but should say 88.1. we will update this!

no matter... the max supply introduced is calculated based on # of blocks, which is correct on website.

max supply introduced during limit phase is 64,999,424, as presented on website.

the duration of the limit phase does not depend on the amount voted. the duration is approximately 63,476x120sec ~ 88.1 days. limit phase is in blocks, not money supply.

the max vote for the last 3600 blocks of the limit phase is 8. during this time the reward could be 1024 or 0 and 42... no matter, the time per block will be 120sec.

The equation you are looking for


Missing from your calculations is (nBlockRewardVoteSpan + 1)*MAX_VOTE
A special voting interval needed to make sure the block reward decreases from 1024 down to 8 before the sustain phase starts; otherwise you could start the sustain phase with 1024 block reward, which would be bad...

you gets


This has been on the "About" page from day one: https://heavycoin.github.io/about.html#decentralised-voting

Thanks.

Intresting!  we like that its different/  mumbly will be posting some new logos here sometime soon,. to get people's opinions.

Very nice!  Bounty coming your way!

as for as we know this is not a function of the wallet, but of your host OS.. You must associate the heavycoin: prefix with heavycoin-Qt command.

Thanks.

Good because Heavycoin has received all the maintenance it has required so far. and we will continue to maintain it.

There have been no bugs and the coin has handled huge swings in difficulty without getting stuck or needed a hard fork.  That's very good for a coin that is not a copy and paste and actually experiments with several new ideas.

For those suggesting the idea that the devs should override the democratic aspect of Heavycoin and taper the block reward, you are going to be very disappointed.  This is not "maintenance" and such development won't be happening because it would go against Heavycoin's democratic principle of having the block reward decided by decentralized block reward voting.

It's entirely sensible for current miners to mine as much as possible before the limit phase, if that's what they have democratically decided.

For all those who want to fork the HEFTY1 cryptographic hash and get the power savings advantages.  We don't mind as that serves as a form of promotion for Heavycoin.

Stay tuned for an upcoming anoucement from our new head of marketing and promotion.

Sounds like an interesting idea, but what do you mean by "trade value"?

Is this about building adoption?

If you are trying to increase adoption, then we can support your effort with some HVC from the Heavycoin fund.  Just let us know the details.

thankz

We're in the process of recruiting a new head of marketing. hope to make an anoucement in the next couple of days.

WRT block reward.  It's completely in the hands of the voters.

+1 for community activity

hmm... It's been 6 days since my last post.

Just a quick note to say that we Heavycoin developers are still here and we will continue to support Heavycoin for the long term.   If there's something urgent then please send us a BitMessage.

Finally we are calling out to the supportive members of the community who have shown long-term commitment to Heavycoin.  We'd like to hear from you on BitMessage if you have ideas for promoting Heavycoin and getting it accepted more places.  There's quite a bit of HVC in the Heavy Fund and this should be put to good use.  Committed members with good ideas and the time to contribute toward them will receive large bounties for meeting their targets.
