I did speak with OneADev. I am here for any other questions or help!

hello, I have an issue.

I had like 40,000ish HBN. i was staking like crazy for a long time. I had an unexpected shutdown which rendered the blockchain corrupt so i used the bootstrap, got it back synced. The problem is only about half of the transactions were showing as legit so I checked wallet, it had a bunch of things so I repaired wallet. Now I only have 21000ish HBN. The rest was all NOW 'generated but not accepted" but gone after the repair. I went to send a tx to myself and I get an error that says "transaction creation failed" tried a few time to different address es of mine. Also, I have conflicted txs from where i sent txs to myself before I had to resync. What happened? What can I do about it?

Well dang... I guess my wallet jumped on another chain then because the block explorer and my wallet match now that I repaired it and it cleaned itself out of all those other transactions. The last time my wallet staked on the real chain was 2017-08-26 21:12:23 block 5593325 That really sucks...all that time running the wallet wasted...it's been on pretty much nonstop since then. I only shut down my "staking" server when required.

But ya, it wont let me atleast send the whole balance to myself. I also tried to send about a third of the balance to myself also. I will try smaller amounts in a min. Really what I want to do is separate the mined coins from the coins earned from stakes. I don't think the coin control can be set to find txs that way. I need to look again at it though.

edit: sent 6ish HBN just fine. It gave me the transaction was over the size limit msg though.

what if the perp is the gingerbread man?

FYI, selling 10k from HBN fund to pay for some additional BE hosting. Should be about 6 more months.

Doh!  It already sold. .095. I'll put the 10k back into HBN fund now.


Thanks BTW! :-)

edit:

Ok 10k back in fund. and someone sent Tranz1 10.7k  Thanks! You guys are great..

So just to let you know I am going do a bit of work for CAP in the upcoming months. Then I am going to move back to HBN. I think I can spare 3 to 5 hours a week. Or at least I plan too..

I have around 400K HBN and the wallet is open since three days and I cannot stake. Is this normal?
Thanks

in your QT wallet enable through options "coin control features"
then under "SEND" look under the "INPUTS" button.
i find lumps less than 5,000 coins just take too long to stake for my level of patience, i actually use 10,000

i consolidate lumps by selecting several smaller lumps and sending those coins to an address i own.
i set both the 'change" address and the "to" address to be the same (my own address) and send nice
even lump sizes.
of course tihs pocess will lose any 'potential' stake the smaller pieces have earned up to this point in time -- the stake timer is reset for those coins. if you already have lumps between 1,000 and 5,000 i'd probably just be patient and wait for them to eventually stake before you bother merging them into larger lumps.

you also do not want gigantic lumps, the maximum stake i believe is 250 coins at a time. a gigantic lump would be worth more than 250 in stake interest in the interval taken to stake (i believe there is something like one or two weeks minimum stake wait time.)

when you do stake, that lump will most likely split in half and you will have to remerge them.
unless you have your stakesplit and stakemerge options set perfectly. dont ask me how, i dont use them

this is why i use 10,000 size lumps, lets me go a round of staking without paying attention since the resultant two 5000+interest
lumps will stake in a reasonable time.

if you find this explaination useful, set your 'stake-for-charity' address to my address at about 50% rate. lol... just kidding

settings->options->display->display coin control features (experts only)

also in the bottom right corner of your QT wallet window there is a tiny up-arrow circular icon.
if you hover your mouse over it it should give a pop-up tip indicating an estimated time until the
next staking.

oh... i just noticed the button is grey if a passworded wallet has not had its password entered, and green if active.

is yours passworded? did you unlock the wallet with that password from under the "WALLET' options?
that could explain not staking in 3 days too.

and your wallet *should* be passworded, especially with 400k coin
