Gridcoin Forking - A few good nodes?

donkeykong9000 (51)in #gridcoin • 7 years ago (edited)

With the release of Gridcoin v3.7.5.0 there have been major forking issues with no fix reported yet. Even the gridcoinstats.eu page lists at least 3 different forks.

Can anyone list any nodes that they believe to be on the main chain? Ie. If you have a difficulty that is above 0.5 then that may indicate that you are on the main chain. If so, would you be able to look into your .conf file and share what nodes you are using? For example, what comes after addnode= in your gridcoinresearch.conf file?

I am trying to go through the list of nodes here to find one on the main chain after performing a reorganize command as described by @cautilus.

Hopefully by sharing we will be able to figure out the main chain and get more people on it. Although if the wallet is buggy we may have to continue to do this until the next release.

List nodes you've tried below in the comments section even if they haven't worked out!

So far with addnode=node.gridcoin.us I was stuck on my own fork.

Note: it is probably necessary to rename or backup and delete your peers.dat if you plan on experimenting with different nodes

I have the following:
addnode=node.gridcoin.us
addnode=gridcoin.asia
addnode=grcmagnitude.com

I'm currently on block 1150096 and have a (suspect) magnitude of 0.010, though it is in line with what gricoinstats.eu is reporting.

I think the underlying issue relates to this: Forking due to beacon checks · Issue #893

You can also add the gridcoinstats.eu node which has the following address

addnode=gridcoin.crypto.fans

Thanks!
Just wondering which is the node represented by gridcoinstats.eu?
I noticed that Sonic and Tails seemed to be synced with a relatively high difficulty and the others are forked
