Well, I have kept quiet to see if this latest fix has sorted problems. No, I haven't abandoned it..anyone who knows me knows that I want this to keep going - aside from that, I do have a large investment in TAG.
We've been doing some more research, and reading some older posts about PoW/PoS combo coins. Seems that the orphans issue MIGHT take 7 to 12 months to resolve itself. That's not something we can control, that is something built into the code base and I have no wish to re write the base from scratch. IF the orphan issue continue to be a problem, then we will simply disable POS mining completely and revert to PoW only. The block generation will go back to being about 4 every minute which MIGHT shock the price, so as part of a fix, then we might change block generation to 5 or 6 minutes.
Glad to get your CONSTRUCTIVE thoughts. No point in slamming us, we just want to get it right for the future. These issues only started happening when PoS came on after 30 days. So, we may need to just turn it off.
I'm all for turning off the POS minting. We were smooth sailing before minting started. If it gets turned off, and things work back into smooth sailing, and I'll be a pool admin. IMO, 7-12 months is too long term for a fix. Plus turning off POS minting encourages the hoarders to spend or trade their coins, which would probably help out the Tagcash exchange.
As far as a long
er block time target, that's fine. I don't see that being an issue in the long run.
