Either way it would be bad for BCE, because this is just not the type of business that works this way.
The latter reason would be less bad, because once you were able to awake them, they migth keep paying attention.
I don’t know how to fix the situation, but you can’t do it this way. People paid for BKS. You can’t just dispossess them, because they don’t behave like expected.
I can only think of awkward solutions, which include at least partial dispossessions - if you want to get the 4.0 votes over 90% there’s no way around that and I don’t want to go into greater detail about them for now.
To get done what I have in mind you only need a simple majority, but it will shed a very bad light on BCE.
Let’s wait and hope for the 4.0 votes to increase.
I messaged @BCExchange on Bitcointalk about using the BlockShare sale contact list to inform people. I was answered before on Bitcointalk, so hopefully I can find out if this was done yet or not.
Weird: Just realized that I have NOT minted a single BKS since April 6th…, as of displayed by the wallet QT.
Anyone has any clue?
Stake: 0.00 BKS
Client version: 4.0.1-beta , win7
I just checked mine. I updated on March 31st and minted up until April 4th and then it stopped as well. I usually mint blocks many times each day, so this long stretch does seem strange. I don’t believe it’s a problem with my laptop or internet either, because the Nu client v2.0.3 has been minting just fine. I’m using Xubuntu Linux by the way.
For some reason my bcexchange exe was deleted during the weekend…it seems, weird.
But more than that, my last minted block was on 07APR16 19:43 and then nothing.
I will wait and see for a few hours but it seems that the network is undergoing some kind of weird bug.
Same, I leave my laptop minting on my desk. I just upgraded to the new version, unlocked for minting and left it alone until today. I just restarted it though and am currently loading up all my clients again.
Well, that wouldn’t explain my issue. As I said I’m using Xubuntu, not Windows. I’ll be going to work in about 3 hours. When I come back I’ll check to see if I minted at all.
About active connections, currently Peerunity has 8, B&C has 3 and Nu has 5. I recently restarted the laptop though, so I’m not sure if that is a reason for the low number.
