Proof-of-Stake minting, only 4 of 25 confirmed

[Skrudzh]

Hi, please tell me what POS minting happens? I only have recently started out of 25 only 4 confirmed is this normal?

It might have to do with a slow internet connection or possibly computer performance where someone else got that proof-of-stake challenge solved and broadcasted quicker than you. I’ve experienced your situation before, but I don’t know much more of what can be done about it.

I have a similar problem with my minting node, no longer able to generate valid blocks since 7/3/17. Nothing changed, same computer, same network. Just restarted the lot, still same problem. Also unable to use the new client, this results in blkindex issues after a few blocks. Tried everything to no avail. It is connected to 8 other peers.

I suspect the recent fork has something to do with all this.
Blockexplorer is also down. Things are going downhill quickly in the last few days. Not good.

NuBits v3.0.1ban2 Release – Urgently needed Nu upgrade now available

This release is not able to make a full download of the blockchain because some blocked addresses appear in past blocks. So if you need to do a full download (or haven’t run your client for some time) you should first run the official 3.0.1 and only run 3.0.1ban2 when you’re fully synchronized. Should I make a new version that blocks these address only after a certain block or date? Note that you can also continue to run 3.0.1 if you don’t support this ban. It’s not a mandatory upgrade. The no…

This seems to help for the blkindex issue. Full sync and then immediately restarting node with new client (ban2).
So I should be able to mint now again, not that there was a choice anyway, the non-ban fork is apparently already dead as Phoenix controls the majority of the minting power.

Will update this message when I’m minting again.
Edit: new blocks are still rejected even when on the new client.
Edit2: finally 1 minted block confirmed 6 times, hope it holds without reorgs…

Ok, the situation stabilized during the transition to wallet 3.0.1ban2, today produced 6 out of 13, 594/584/582/463/269/107 confirmations.

Same here, about 50% confirmations. Still way too many rejections I believe.

Could it be that our seed nodes are using the old version?

You guys should update this page with the latest version https://www.nubits.com/download

Updated my seed node to 4.0.0 today. I couldn’t manage before due to the blkindex problem which got in the way a couple of times. 4.0.0 solved that nicely.
