Yes for sure. Been a busy week!
Looks like your explorer is down?

So the botnet will be kicked due to mandatory at block 33400.
But 33400 on our chain or the bot chain?

I would say that bot is already out of the "official" PoDC chain because we are getting our own confirmations (finally) and bot is 30 blocks ahead on its own chain. It can go on like that forever.

If bot tries to upgrade and hook to the "official" PoDC chain, he will mine by PoW until 33400 is reached (not likely as we are pretty close now).

Oh cool. So it is unclear if Sanctuary rewards from the previous 8 hours from bot chain will persist, but rewards on new chain (in last few hours) should

[znffal]

It depends what you call botnet as it seems there has been different uses for that word around here. With the standard and used definition of what a botnet is,  it's impossible to know if the miners of this/these botnet(s) were upgraded or not and are therefore on the new chain (or not). They will eventually end up upgrading anyway.

There should only have been 1 chain until block 33400. Then those who didn't upgrade would have continued mining with PoBH and those who upgraded would have gone on a new chain with PoDC.

From what I understood, the new protocol (PoDC) was supposed to kick off on block 33400 and hence should have been the splitting point between those who upgraded and those who didn't upgrade (there is no such thing as the botnet chain/non-botnet chain, etc).

That did not happen and instead there was a split between those who upgraded and those who didn't upgrade waaaaay before block 33400 for other reasons  (haven't looked at the exact block but it happened at least 5 hours ago).

The block explorer is offline right now while I put it back on the chain used by people on version 1010002.

Right, I was using the Botnet chain as meaning the "other/old" chain. But PoBH chain would have made more sense.
Ok then so the 33400 block target number should be on the new/PoDC chain

[znffal]

33400 should be when the new protocol kicks off. But there is already been a fork between those who upgraded and those who didn't for other reasons. So if you upgraded, you are already on a new chain.

Edit:

Just to make to make it clear. It's not (or shouldn't be PoDC yet), it just forked for other reasons. Probably by forcing new clients to drop the connection from old clients. Both chains should still be exclusively PoBH right now.

Awesome, thanks. That's clear and makes sense.

[Rob Andrews]

Guys, I set my alarm to watch all the fireworks but unfortunately I have to take my son somewhere, so Ill join the party as soon as possible.

I see the non-PODC chain (the botnet is at block 33401 with a difficulty of 5000! a very high diff) and the PODC chain is still at 33376 with a 97 diff, and Im hoping that with the confirms and wild differences forming in the two chains, none of the "botnet" blocks will bleed back over to our podc chain, lets hope all these confirms stick.

[T-Mike]

I was talking to canopus and he is stuck on the old chain with the latest daemon. Just be aware of that.

Update:
Just found out my sanctuary crashed an hour ago:

I've got three different wallets open, and all three seem to be on different chains:

The blocks stated are the blockheights, so it seems to are on an other chain too... Or certain chains just stall at certain points.

[Rob Andrews]

Looks like somebody was "smart" and connected to an upgraded node from the "other chain". Since it's the same protocol but is/was/has the longest chain, the upgraded nodes now took all these blocks in or may be stuck I guess depending on your situation.

Or more like "stupid", as anyone who created a fraudulent client to "help" the botnet in my opinion is a traitor, and practices dissent.

[jaapgvk]

The active chain is always the longest chain.  Somebody was smart and saw the only thing preventing upgraded node from connecting to old nodes was to check the version number (which can be changed easily).

The "old chain" was the longest/chain with the most work so it became the active chains. Upgraded nodes are now on that chain or stuck depending on circumstances.

On top of that, I haven't been following PoDC much I guess PoBH seems to still be accepted by "upgraded" nodes so they're accepting these blocks.

I thought that the older wallets had different protocol versions. Or has that nothing to do with this?

[T-Mike]

Or more like "stupid", as anyone who created a fraudulent client to "help" the botnet in my opinion is a traitor, and practices dissent.

So should I be banning peers with height greater then 33400 or should i just let it play out? But it's crashing my masternode.

[Rob Andrews]

I finally see my CPID after confirmations started working. However I want to separate the controller wallet for PoDC from the MN controller one, to another windows machine.

Can I run QT wallet on a new windows machine and re-associate to Rosetta, or do I have to "un-link" the current association first?
Thank you

I would recommend waiting til we have one chain, and maybe at least 25 blocks in after 33400 first, but anyway, you can reassociate your wallet to a new wallet by just running the 'exec associate' command, with "true" at the end (that means force).

[Rob Andrews]

zap transactions worked for me! --zapwallettxes=1

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/45988/how-do-you-apply-zapwallettxes-on-windows

Open a command prompt to do it, the config file option didn't work for me. All the transactions I made yesterday and today are gone from my transactions list.

I actually lost a wallet with 60k because i forgot to backup it up and now the funds are showing in my sendto wallet again! Praise God!

You can also just go to dos prompt and type:

cd c:\program files\biblepaycore
biblepay-qt -zapwallettxes=1

Etc.

[Rob Andrews]

Rob, while we are waiting. To get 100 UTXO, you need 50k BBP according to the wiki. What does the polpercentage affect then?

The polpercentage affects how much of your 'exec stakebalance' the wallet is allowed to try to stake in a PODCUpdate tx.

If you have 100,000 available generally then you could set it at 50 for example to stake 50K per podcupdate.
