Dry Run 9: [Block]Chain Hang Low (featuring guest performer: ~~BitUSD~~)

[bytemaster]

I just updated the OP with example commands.

[bytemaster]

Tried to import my private key but I have this error:

Code Select Expand


default (unlocked) >>> wallet_account_create spartako
default (unlocked) >>>wallet_import_private_key 5...BTC..PRIVATE...KEY.... spartako
10 assert_exception: Assert Exception

EDIT: even if there is this error after wallet_rescan_blockchain command the balance is CORRECT

Known issue, Toast is on it.

I had to up my RAM allocation to compile this Dry Run version. 

Off we go:

had same issue
and was fixed after a hard reset...

On this Dry Run and Dry Run 6 if I can remember well (linux Mint 17 64bit)

We've reset, please wipe your chain directory to reconnect

Some funds please  :)

Is this thread gonna be about expensive play dough?

On another note, I said that 'I will not try to be a delegate' (post is dilated now due to semi-smooth start to this run).
So I made the right decision and end up saving a lot of fake money! Should I jump with joy?

It is obvious not a problem with Dry Runs and fake money, we are only discussing it now so maybe we prevent problems on the original chain run...
I guess on the real chain everything will be smoother due to real coin value...

By popular demand, the delegate fee calculation is clearly way more volatile than I intended so we are going to reset this dryrun before we get too far into it.

New calculations:

Code Select Expand


delegate_pay = total_accumulated_fees / (blocks_per_day*14)
delegate_registration = delegate_pay * blocks_per_hour * 2 / 101


The effect of this change is that delegate pay will rise much slower, and registration will have a much smaller impact on delegate pay.  (14 days vs 2 hours).

Something needs to be done about delegate registration fees.

Code Select Expand

2014-07-15T18:16:37 544       bitcoiners          bitcoiners          0.00000 XTS           856,060.89468 XTS   register bitcoiners as a delegate       92fe4244


The registration fees are doing their job of rate-limiting delegate signup.   They are currently 4 million, and in an hour will be under 60K if no one else signs up and pays the huge price.    In 2 hours it will be under 6000 (assuming few fees are collected during that time).

so that means only the BitSharesX whales will have the oportumity to be the first delegates, and I assume the last ones as well...

Ridiculous.   Even at todays BTSX prices on BTER the current signup fee is only $1800 and falling.   That is hardly whale level.

I think you are wrong. To get a delegate right now it costs 6,312,291 XTS
that means 6,312,291*0.0000203 BTC = 128.1395073 BTC * $620 = $79,446

It seems delegate registration fees are changing quite randomly. It dropped down below 100,000 XTS and now back up to over 10 million..

No it goes with what BM said - the price melts down to amount the next candidate is willing to pay, if he pays - it is automatically increasing total_fees and reseting the clock waiting for next rich candidate for a delegate to participate.

But it goes along with: Rich get richer, poor get poorer...
