EBT is alive. Adoption of the security update is nearing 60%.

At about 75% adoption we'll make some announcements relating to the direction of EBT. As a preview, we can disclose that EBT holders will be among the first to experience some new in-wallet uses of cryptocurrencies.

EBT is under constant development and monitoring. We have been keeping close track of the performance of the block chain and of any threats. Currently, like most other coins, there may be some periodic attacks on the EBT network, but they have not significantly effected the block chain. The only evidence of attacks that we have at this point is some unusual variance of block times, although this variation may be from normal network activity. Currently, the mean block interval is 80 seconds, which is almost triple the target interval of 30 seconds, giving the team a small amount of concern.

The block interval has been high since the PoS switch, which was expected because of a minting rush from very mature coins followed by a vacuum of stake once these coins minted. The mean block interval has stabilized greatly in the last week or so, although it is not yet ideal. If the mean block interval does not stabilize to close to the target of 30 seconds soon (within 2 weeks), we will add additional block consistency checking and more tests for misbehaving peers, to reduce the opportunity for denial-of-service attacks.

Anyone else have over 2500 transactions and notice the wallet getting slow?  POS brought me a lot of daily dust.  I finally dumped all my EBT into an exchange, deleted my wallet, created a new wallet and am now redepositing my EBT into the new wallet in larger transactions.

What does this mean for POS minting?

My wallet keeps crashing. I have emptied the appdata folder and did a resynch, but it keeps freezing every time I try to do a transfer I have the latest version.

Anybody else experiencing this?

I will now try getting rid of all traces of ebt excepts wallet.dat. Hope it works.

It is synching. You have version 3.0.1? Older versions are not working because they are on the wrong fork.

The correct versions are 3.0.1.1 for Mac and 3.0.1.2 for Windows. Both are version 3.0.1. The last number is simply the build number. The 3.0.1 Windows wallet had to be rebuilt because the first build accidentally included a deprecated dependency.

v3.0.1.1-gdf9d55a-EBT is what I've been using.  No issues so far and I didn't realize there was a 3.0.1.2 build.  I'll update tonight.

I moved all my coins to a single address in one transaction, so only have one amount to stake now. Wallet is much faster it seems. I can recommend it. Otherwise it will stake each tiny mining amount seperately.

You are running an old wallet. Go to the OP and download the latest-greatest.
