I'm thinking the issue might be nodes that are still on the oldest version feeding blocks without checkpoints and stake modifiers. I think we should work with it for now and try to get some more public nodes up for people to connect to.

If anyone would like to add a new Node, I'm offering 500 CON per node that can be added to the list.

All you have to do is run a node on some VPS somewhere and put up the IP address of it for people to connect to. You can host a node in the Cloud for as little as $5 a month and does a lot to help improve the stability of the network.

Added your node still synching stuck on Block 38031

Where do I add "-reindex" and does Paycon have a bootstrap to build Blocks quick?

Thanks for the message and update Crestington!




^^^ Why the FUD?
FUDBlockers ON!

Why does anyone think 100% PoS is a good thing?

Who wants money with 100% inflation every year?

Seems like it would have been better to leave it at 50% to me, just my 2c

You would only get 100% at minimum difficulty, every 64X difficulty increase the reward drops by half down to a minimum of 50% (100%, 75%, 62.5%, 56%, 53%, 51.5% etc).

There is a cap of 30 Coins per Block to Stake so the maximum amount per year is limited to 15,768,000 Coins.

The increase in Stake reward is to offset the cap on Blocks and if doing something as radical as changing the whole reward system, it would need to be more rewarding to gain the majority vote. It's less about actually giving a higher percentage per year though and more about encouraging use of smaller Blocks to create a more secure network.

Besides, in about 2 weeks it will be Proof of Stake only so that will take away all that extra POW sell pressure.

I see someone trying to pull a Con. We can only have one Con..

I figured I would stop and say hi on the Omega post..

On an unrelated note, has anyone tested out the IRC chat? elmanager mentioned to me that he couldn't connect properly to it.

I see them too. I can see them join and leave. I can't see anyone typing anything, and not sure if they can see what I type.

The update and upcoming POS phase have spurred investors and market insiders to drive up the price over 100% in the past 2 days.  And that's just the calm before the staking storm.
