Immediate mandatory upgrade: Nu client version 0.5.4

[crypto_coiner]

What is addr.dat used for?

[CoinGame]

addr.dat stores peer addresses that your client will try connecting to when it boots up. If you delete it your client will use the seed IP addresses hard coded in the client and it will rebuild addr.dat over time with other peers it finds.

I just upgraded my NSR miner to 0.5.4. I noticed that it has some data feed functionality too. Are data feeds functional already?

[willy]

Are data feeds functional already?

Yes.

[CoinGame]

Yes, you can use data feeds now. They were introduced in 5.3 as a beta release. We decided to skip the official release for 5.3 and moved forward with 5.4. There will be one final release before going open source after 5.4.

@JordanLee would it be possible to clarify why you’re waiting to push new builds for OS X and RasberryPi?

@Ben will be providing the OS X build and @CoinGame will be providing the RaspberryPi build. I’m hoping they can provide more information on when these will be available.

[CoinGame]

I spent a couple hours on it today after I picked up my RaPi. Having some technical difficulties with the build. I’ll have it ready by tomorrow I think.

Do you see stale blocks (unconfirmed blocks) in your Transactions list during the last two days?

Yes, I had a stale block in my transaction list during the last 2 days.

Let me give an update of my status.

• I Deleted my old blockchainchain and Re-downloaded it.
• Wallet indicates 0.00NSR in Stake and 0.00NSR unconfirmed.
  Questions/inquiries:

• Why did my stake go down to zero and how long will it take to replenish so that I can revote?
• In my transaction lists, I see unconfirmed blocks (generated but not accepted ) that go back to 2014/12/22 - This contradicts the wallet status giving 0.00NSR as unconfirmed.

[crypto_coiner]

OK - I don’t see those duplicate proof-of-stake ERRORs showing any more, after a fresh DL of the blockchain.

[CoinGame]

Sweet! Sometimes it has to be done unfortunately.

[crypto_coiner]

However, I still have 0.00NSR in stake and have not minted a block since 2/21

[CoinGame]

Does your client have the same block height as the block explorer?

[CoinGame]

ARM nud for 5.4 is here. As always… back up your wallets before using these builds

[crypto_coiner]

If you block height = current number of blocks, YES.
My estimated total blocks is different from the height.
My verrsion build date = 2/15 22:56:55 +0100

BTW, in my log file,

1. Just noticed that nushares are considered as moneysupply… and not as shares.
   moneysupply(S)=1009613644.9063
   This is the same figure as given by https://blockexplorer.nu/status
2. Why does it not sum up to 1B?
3. As for NuBits, moneysupply(B)=6286333.2604
   This is different from and superior to what is given by https://blockexplorer.nu/status
   Why?
4. What does it mean? --> “ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED”

[CoinGame]

1. It’s just expressing how much of that unit exists in the network. The label was never changed to express it as shares.
2. NSR is created through the block rewards. It shows more than a billion because 40 NSR is created whenever someone mints a block. There’s also a 1 NSR transaction fee for sending NSR.
3. Because the block explorer excludes NBT that were in the strategic reserve, since they will not be in circulation unless a drastic under supply occurs. CMC does this as well. This client does not do this and always shows the number of NBT that was created through custodial grants.

[Passed] Proposal to create a strategic reserve of NuBits

The First Strategic Reserve Team or FSRT would like to propose the following multisignature custodial grant, the text of which (beginning with the letter N and ending with a period) has a RIPEMD-160 hash of : 477C951F2073CE098750F56D13C1D4CF20A4CF2B *******Begin Proposal******* NBT address: BhCnQrYrA5LZm871dtMQEXeU93gmqbhdrC NBT amount: 4040000 The purpose of this grant is to create a strategic reserve of NuBits. There are only two circumstances under which the FSRT would transfer the funds…

4. I believe it means that you’ve accepted a block from one of your peers.

Thank you @CoinGame. Anyone else having problems unlocking the ARM 0.5.4 wallet? It keeps saying that the passphrase is wrong, although the same walletS.dat unlocks fine on my PC (with the same passphrase).

[CoinGame]

That’s strange. I had someone else from the community test this build before releasing it and all core functionality was reported working. Positive you’re not fat fingering something? Tried wrapping in quotes?

[creon]

Yes, I checked it several times, put the passphrase in quotes and even copy pasted the walletpassphrase command to the console of the debug window of the PC wallet. The PC unlocks, the Pi doesn’t.

Can someone maybe just give it a try and see if it works?

EDIT: lol nevermind, I forgot that I changed it on the Pi some time ago and it was forever unlocked for staking. Everything is fine. Thanks for the binary @CoinGame!
