WALLET Wont sync

bluebox

@xonar Something wrong with UFO wallet/masternodes/whatever today? Sync is stuck on block 1080513 from this morning. Mining sites all having problems too. Any big changes happen that I didn’t read about? :hushed:

Nevermind. Seems to be fixed now. :)

@Bushstar @xonar Well, that didn’t last long. Back offline again after half an hour, mining sites having trouble.

What’s going on?

Hi, these situations happen when no miner activity presence (bored mining pools) or when the miners activities goes low against the extraction difficult. Pay attention in the explorer to the dificult extraction. The bockchain is rock solid.

Ok, just seems odd that it started to do this only one day ago. Hashrates went up when UFO went from 2 sat to 6 on coinexchange. Mining-dutch multipool started switching large miner/farms back and forth between FTC and UFO. Who knows what coins NiceHash has in its neoscrypt pool, but it went from 25MH/s jumping to over 2GH/s in the last few days…

Some folks in chats are saying the diff retargeting algo might be broken; this issue only showed up recently when hashrates started rising/swinging around.

I’ve never seen this happen on any other coin (in my limited 3-year experience), including FTC or other neoscrypt family coins (ORB, PXC).

@bluebox :bow_tone1: soori if disturb…
seems, UFO coin got some ‘attraction’ ehh…
:hugging: :hugging: :hugging:
.
differents in 4 - 5 sats price increase, huge different in hashing… :metal:
.
C, mon UFO coin… lets go to ORBit… :speak_no_evil: :hear_no_evil: :see_no_evil:
.
again, soori if disturb… :bow_tone1: :bow_tone1:

Yes, I think it’s caused for the Nite’s Gravity security , this the short explanation of Nite’s Gravity shield implementation of UFO

“” Additionally, UFO coin have implemented Nite’s Gravity Well, which allows for rapid response to hash rate changes. This help to prevent multipools from ruining mining profits. A multipool is a large collection of miners who mine the most profitable coin at any given time. With Nite’s Gravity Well the payouts for UFO coin per MH/s will rapidly drop when a multipool starts mining UFO coin, which will force the multipool to mine something else. Then payouts rapidly increase when the multipool leaves, benefiting UFO coin GPU/CPU miners. “”

Sorry but UFO it’s unique and a particular coin because after the Bushstar and Ghostlander implementation became an extra secure coin…

by other side I’m not a super expert miner, may be the best answer can reach from others friends here.

@FlatBlack I saw that too… Cryptofarmer at mining-dutch had mentioned something about a new wallet, but I don’t see anything about 0.8.8.3 anywhere… let alone that 1.0.0.0 dude…

Bushstar

Someone must have been watching the network traffic closely to spot the 0.8.8.3 client. It is a maintenance release to allow v3 blocks on 0.10. Feels like a lot of effort as 0.9 will be coming out tomorrow or the day after. The 0.8 source has to be updated and as I have to compile I may as well release it.

I will test that it syncs and that UPNP is enabled, make sure that UPNP is enabled on your router to allow the auto configuration of incoming ports. It should work without it, but more connections are supported with the incoming ports open.
