Feathercoin Difficulty
-
I searched about as hard as I could for an answer, but could only find a lengthy discussion about adding protections against multipool flops.
My question is: How do I find the feathercoin difficulty?
The Feathercoin API for getdifficulty doesn’t seem to return what the actual difficulty is right now (at least, not obviously enough for me to catch). I’m not sure if this is due to other pool defenses put in place, the API being broken, or just general site down-ness… There seems to be portions of the Feathercoin site that don’t return a page sometimes, IDK. Anyways just looking for a way to figure out what’s going on.
Thanks!

Hi you can find the difficulty on coinwarz
http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency
Or if you have your wallet open and synced, click on help, then debug window and select the tab ‘console’
Type
getinfo
followed by enter into the text entry window on the console page and it will give you back a whole stack of info including difficulty
You are correct API seems to be giving incorrect difficulty value.
I will raise it with the team

seems to be going up at an alarming rate and Neo is looking no closer. i really hope this does not take too long as being tied to Scrypt is causing much pain. So many MH added every day :(

Actually, I should probably add that much of the API isn’t working… Things like addressbalance and getreceivedbyaddress appear to be not functioning correctly either.
-
Address balance works for me as does, as does value of FTC in Fiat and value of Fiat in FTC.
But will agree there is something wrong with difficulty.
The person that can look into this is unavailable at the moment, but will be hopefully sorted shorly.
getreceivedbyaddress is a call from the console in your wallet and not an api call.
Are you using the call correctly for address balance?
It should be like this
http://api.feathercoin.com/?output=balance&address=6oQqqYYPvnPRukPp2qiEWVzMkHnqCx2VKn&json=1
-
I’m using the API with the expectation that it’s like all the other API for coins (not my address) and in accordance with the directions supplied:
The balance for that address is not 0 (I can visually confirm that). I did see that you used json, which I was unaware of json support, so that’s neat.
Thanks again for looking at this, and that’s alright that the POC isn’t available. I just wanted to raise some issues.

im guessing the explorer and the api both use the same back end and I think the explorer has stopped.
this is that last block according to the explorer so 2014-08-07 14:18:26 so if you have had funds sent to your account since then it could explain the balance being zero as it wont know about those transactions.

This is most likely the problem. That address received its first transaction on 08/10. Can anything be done to fix this, or are you all super busy?
-
I’ll raise it with the rest of the team as see what we can do. Although it may have to wait until bushstar gets back from holiday.
-
Sounds like Bush needs to restart the API / feathercoind. Might be a memory problem or logs too big etc, DDos. I’ve had some power cuts etc.
We probably need some way of having a backup API.
-
I could look into starting an independent blockchain explorer, though my time is as limited as anybody else’s. It would also probably mean a negative profit for me unless I start my own Feathercoin pool to fund my interests. Could be fun, though throwing more hands at this is probably not the solution.
-
Seems like the daemon died, I have restarted it now and the explorer is updating and the API should follow shortly.

Thanks!
