For me HONEY is dead. I dumped my stake for whatever I could get.

I believed in this coin but clearly DEV has other priorities in life and we cannot see any progress being made in addressing the issues.

Until the wallet syncs without manual intervention this coin cannot be taken seriously.

All year we've only been hearing vague talk of personal situations and attempts to fix the code. But no concrete progress has been made.

It seemed earlier in the summer DEV was back and ready to start development again. This only lasted a few days and now is being totally unresponsive with more vague talk of "moving."

On top of that there are serious staking issues that are not being even taken seriously. The staking rewards are not consistent with the wallets holding. Something is really wrong.

Best of luck to DEV and anyone else hodling this coin for the long run, but I'm done.

It will be hard to motivate exchanges to add honey since there isn't much trading activity right now. Even on coinexchange there is only $400 USD in honey/btc trading today. This probably adds up to maybe a few dollars in fees.

After we see dev's big announcement this might change.


 

So I've been trying to figure out how to buy some actual honey with honeycoin.

Would anyone like to do the following?

You buy honey from a local producer and mail it to me, I live in Canada if that matters. I want it to be purchased directly from a producer, no supermarket mass produced stuff.

I send you the cost of the honey plus a reasonable fee for shipping and handling in honeycoin.  (I imagine something around $25USD is reasonable)

PM me if interested

I'll post pics of the honey in this thread once I get it

patience is a virtue. get your cheap honey while it lasts

It's just a placeholder right now, we all assume dev is working on it as we speak.
 

I want to buy some actual honey with my honeycoin

Ideally direct from a producer

Any ideas?

This might be a stupid question as this is one of the first staking coins I'm getting into, but what's the point of the "getstakesubsidy" rpc command.  Shouldn't staking profits be automatically added to my balance?

very excited about honey. can't wait to hear updates from dev

I enjoyed this

Having said all that, it would be more assuring if DEV was actively posting and giving updates on his progress.

He can't pull a Satoshi just yet..

This is how it started with mtgox and cryptsy

Thanks, I was able to get it fully synced using a download link that was provided in the discord chat.

I shouldn't relink it here since it wasn't posted by the dev, so it may or may not be correct.

But it works and I can send to/from coinexchange.io

dev should address this as soon as he's back, a new user shouldn't have to do any voodoo just to get the blockchain synced.

Thanks for the response. bumbacoin's link points to a 404. I can download from the google drive link you gave, but unfortunately all blocks are being rejected. Repeating ORPHAN BLOCK in debug.log. getinfo shows only 2 blocks after the bootstrap is scanned...

Ok gotcha, so the rpcclient is built into honeyd. A little unintuitive but OK once you figure it out.


Also do you have a link for the blockchain bootstrap? Sorry if it was already posted in this thread I can't find it

Thanks,

Can anyone explain how the Linux v.2.1.2 build works? I use makefile.unix under src/ but it only generates honeyd, it doesn't generate an rpcclient that I can find.

Also on Linux I can't get it to accept even a single block. Has anyone looked at the Linux build yet?

One concern I have about honeyd is that it's listening on a global IP for RPC despite setting it to bind to loopback. This is a potential security problem, RPC should never listen on a global address unless there is a very good reason.

honey.conf

$ netstat -ln

Other than this I'm very much enjoying this coin so far.

Anyone have a download link for honey2.1.2?

Anyone have any experiences starting honeycoin?

I'm using the client for mac that was posted in the announcement thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1823432.0)

It looks like I'm not able to sync at all, I just get endless errors about orphan blocks, ie ...

Is there a newer version I should be using or different addnodes?
