Title: [PONY] PonyCoin [Obsolete] | Cryptocurrency for ponies | SHA256 | No premine
Post by: x86cam on July 22, 2015, 06:59:34 AM

Coin has been delayed until I can figure out some errors, sorry.

Quote
Since both Pwnycoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=464274.0) and the original Ponycoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=455133.0) have been discontinued, I have been working on a revival of the two. My goals for creating Ponycoin are to learn more about cryptocurrency, while also providing a community-run coin for everypony (communities are great, right?).

Ponycoin is built off of the Bitcoin 0.8 wallet, but will be upgraded to the latest wallet over time. If you run into any bugs, please use the official Github page (https://github.com/ponycoin/ponycoin) to notify me of any issues. Also feel free to make pools, if you desire.

Ports used by Ponycoin:
RPC: 6932 (Testnet: 16932)
P2P: 6933 (Testnet: 16933)

https://i.imgur.com/LtV2bqu.png

Windows (v0.8.0): Not built yet, will add soon. :L
Mac OS X: Not built yet, will add soon. :L
Github Source Code: https://github.com/ponycoin/ponycoin

PS: I know it's yet /another/ Altcoin, so please, spare the rant. Thank you.

WIN wallet worked ok for me but I have common missing dll files in a folder i put new wallets in. Probably missing one of them on your pc.

I replaced both the missing files and it then tries to open but just crashes on windows.

Let me repack with everything else. One moment.
I haven't exactly tested the build on any Windows PC other then my dev one. :P

we're kicking blocks, they are accepted by the daemon, at least the stratums say so... but the daemon won't list them

look like I'll close the pool, waste of time
I've seen a coin doing this some week ago, I can't remember which one tho

I don't exactly know what's going on here. I'm still rather new to the crypto game and maybe my source got mucked up. Any suggestions?

Also, new build: https://mega.co.nz/#!15gyybpQ!Ug0E8tfI7G9rhfDd5GAx2lcHIgaVGvXx_tq3nWPzCv8 (https://mega.co.nz/#!15gyybpQ!Ug0E8tfI7G9rhfDd5GAx2lcHIgaVGvXx_tq3nWPzCv8)

Ponycoin is forked and modified from Bitcoin v0.8.0, an old release that still has the miner in it, so it most likely detects as the BitCoinMiner virus.


This is a complete waste of time since it doesn't even work, seriously why bother releasing it if you didn't even test it ?
Meh, I might as well remake Ponycoin from v0.11.0 and see where I get, and I'll update this post when ready. v0.8.0 is just way too old now, so might as well give it a shot.
I pretty much only tested this on my dev PC with an Ubuntu VM and Windows 7, so I expected it to go rough at first.

That's just a false detect given by the old source used by the dev, still doesn't changes the fact that coin has major bugs

You think I should redo the whole thing from 0.11.0 or nah? I mean, I have time to waste :L

I like to mine new ALT's, given that they are bug and virus-free + have a good dev that actually wants to add pools, block explorers, exchanges,... So, if you have free time, and know you can stay dedicated to your project: why not ;)

It would be even better if you dedicated a lot more time, and came up with new and innovative development for your coin...

To be honest i wouldn't waste my time with it, but it is your decision. Maybe it is better to make a new coin where everything is working, or if you want to stick to this relaunch so it gets a fair start

I'll be sticking to it because I would like to continue the Ponycoin/Pwnycoin legacy, ever since they discontinued their coins.

Make a working source and pm us to test it. If it works, we'll be glad to run a pool for it :)

Imho if you will be trying to fix it, make it a New algo like neoscrypt, Lyra2RE or something..  Sha gets insta - raped after launch, no Chance for non renters or non asic owners

That's a good ideea make some change so your coin can be attractive to others, scrypt and sha are boring already

Yep, I did. I released a coin, realized it was filled with bugs, and then cancelled the release until I can make a better one. I do want to learn more about cryptocurrencies, but I guess this was my first step to learning more of it.

RDP is a good sollution, but you should try out the free version of sandboxie... I think it's less of a hassle than running a full RDP. Just open a completely isolated sandbox, drag the exe in the sandbox => completely isolated process...

You can make 1 sandbox for all your altcoin wallets, or use the same sandbox for all... If, after a while, you should trust the exe, you can "recover" the config files to your harddisk and run the exe out of the sandbox...
