www.cryptopia.co.nz listed ftc.

Hi @Lizhi I’ve added that to exchanges.

Exciting, the second is 1658834.

Halving should fall on July 9th 2017 at about 1AM EST - as of this post.

:)

but may vary, based on the average block creation time. Nevertheless two days before the halving, the day is pretty certain.

Heh I’ve been using @wrapper’s blocktime calculations as well as figures from Bitinfocharts.com to get me a rough idea.

I usually do my math based on the avg of 1 min 3 sec block time… the variance isn’t that wild to be honest, I think even now we have a pretty certain date.

I wanna get to the point where I can screen record/cast the blocks coming in on fsight.chain.tips so we can watch the halving take place live :-)

Well the little variance we have shows, that our efforts to design and implement eHRC were not useless ;)
We have updated the counter on www.feathercoin.com today, so it should be rather precise.
We will update it more often for the next days, until the halving takes place.

no, it’s me

@Wellenreiter said in A New Public Pool for FTC , Welcome:

The name lookup returns the IP address 115.29.46.13

ip-tracker.org then shows that the server is in Hangzhou, China

sweet!

At least you had a diverse option by voting Trump.

I am from Greece, guess what our choices are :(

Ps. I don’t like Hillary or Trump. I dislike Trump less though. He is a businessman, not a politician and i am really curious to see what his actions and impact of those will be.

They trade FTC since 2014.

@ Does 0.11 “at least” compile all the automatic tests?

@Wellenreiter

I suggest the 0.9.3.2 development version be imported into 0.9.6-master for the release

Because of the confusion of 0.9.5 (Wallets) still being in the wild -

The “Genesis Block” is really just what is returned when the daemon is poked for the settings.

Update the function that finds the BlockIndex and set the paraphrase, unix time, and a nonce.
Hash your paraphrase and get the merkle root of it.

The main problem I see is, like the Doge “re-genesis” solution, a lot of power and space will be required to store the temporary “New blockchain” while it is built.

The only solution I can think of to that is to add the “disk space” algorithm to FTC with Neoscrypt, then use part of that disk space to perform the “ReGenesis”.

Probably choose to pay 2% to disk based POW / “ReGenesis miners”, with a disc space requirement of > 2 * blockchain size. It would be a hrad fork.

It will definitely bring in more community members! Its a hot ticket right now.

The feathercoin block explorer doesn’t find the trnsaction id:

returns
'transaction not found’

So the transaction didn’t make it to the block chain.

I was just looking at Litecoins new forum / website and I note they thing 2.5 mins is fast enough transaction time and they don’t need v4 upgrade yet…

Not very good :(

I noticed an increase of orphans last night (europe9), too.
Orphans are part of the protocol and p2pool create orphans as part of the work distribution, as orphan shares are counted also. Orphan shares do not mean oprhan blocks.

I think the percentage of orphan shares increase, when larger changes in the p2pool clout happen, e.g new pool nodes join the cloud or two clouds merge together.
So we should wait several hours and see, if the orphan rate goes back to normal.

Also if one cloud node has many miners connected and therefore has a high hash rate, the number of orphans increase on low hash rate p2pool nodes, as these nodes can’t produce shares fast enough to get them accepted by the p2pool cloud.

The last reason for orphans is a large network delay for one p2pool node.

I also came across this wallet that can store and exchange FTC. Still going, interesting if anyone tried it.

tried to install http://www.ftc-c.com/pack4/featercoin-osx-0.9.3.1.zip and says is damaged or complete when go to install? OSX 10.11.3. here cheers for any help!

@lizhi
That is good :)

It is the expected behaviour.The next step is to keep mining with both versions, but slowly move more and more miners to 0.11.x. As far as I understood, the 'old clients should be obsoleted, as soon as more than 95% of the hash rate is on the new version.
The question is, if this woks smooth, or if we get a fork in the testnet during this step.
