Well played

Guys can someone please help me.

I have been away and so redownloaded new wallet and fresh blockchain, and put my wallet in.

It is not showing any of the coins in my balance, but I have only tranferred coins there once and mined twice.

There are not even any outgoing transfers so are my coins fucked and gone? :/

You're using the HYPER wallet, not the Hyperstake wallet. It's a different coin.

Yeah they certainly are.  I moved my HYP wallet to a different computer, downloaded the bootstrap that was mentioned on page 253, and then watched it get about 1/2 way loaded (took about an hour to reach that point for me) before I went to bed.  This morning I got up, and the HYP wallet had loaded, BUT! it was syncing with the network and had about 14,000 blocks to go.  I went into the appdata folder and the bootstrap.dat had been renamed to bootstrap.dat.old (I thought it did this when it had fully completed as not to run again)  So apparently the bootstrap didn't work??

{EDIT: I'm stupid.  Didn't attempt to read the OP before proceeding with the bootstrap file..  It's right there in black and white!  Too many paint chips as a kid...}

I tried creating my own bootstrap (for S's and G's) with another coin following the directions on another forum where they said go into your roaming folder using a command prompt and use the command copyb blk0001.dat+blk0002.dat bootstrap.dat (and continue this for however many blk.dat files you have) I had only one, so my code was:

copyb blk0001.dat bootstrap.dat

It made the bootstrap.dat file.  I copied that and went over to my test machine and popped it into the appdata folder and launched the client.  It wanted to start syncing from scratch.  *SHRUG* I guess it didn't like my bootstrap.dat file!

HAHAHAHA

Indeed!  Every single file except wallet.dat

.lock, addr.dat, the db text document, the debug document, the blk0001.dat file that was in there, and the blkindex.dat file.  All gone.

The client re-made all the missing files and went to town.  

Force the issue like Bruce Jenner?

That has been the question since the project started. I think the answer remains "it depends". I'm combining to 25K for my next few rounds, and see how it goes. Under 5K takes most of forever to stake, so you have to find the balance between your patience level and expected reward. Lower blocks take longer, but you won't always hit the cap. Bigger blocks hit the cap before you're eligible to stake. I suspect there are as many strategies as there are HYP holders.

Will i be fine with 7.5-10k?
Oh another thing: how do i split blocks in clients that don't have split block feature?

Got it.  So if i wanted them to stake more quickly i'd have to use blocks of 20-25k?
