Looking for someone that can compile the elacoin-qt into windows binary.

Also looking for people that are willing to donate .btc for the elacoin windows binary.

Ill start and add .1btc

If you want to help out and reach a higher.btc bounty so most likely more people will try and compile one.

Developer will get the btc amount rewarded when elacoin-qt for windows is online and working.

Basicly the idea is people who like elacoin can invest in .btc to make a higher bounty so windows users can have there wallets aswell and also the value of elacoin will go up.

You can send you .btc to the following address: 1BxeYiGGk64tCsotMwVhepVcAfoRRsR81k ( Also post that you have donated and how much in reply )

I will keep the total .btc reward updated !

Donators BTC:

1. Wesjuhnl 0.1BTC

Btc reward contains : 0.1BTC

I know its not that much but I add 500 BQC to the bounty

Ill add 1 Elacoin the the bounty.. thats all i got so far.

i cannot accept all kind of coins so keep it to btc.

I cannot assure the maker will get the other coins like bcq or elacoin because im not gonna get every wallet on my pc for this.

Just donate in btc please.

Didn't Hazard successfully compile it the first time?

Dont think so no, its not out yet as far as i know

Yes, but I refuse to support this garbage this time around. The developer has proven himself to be extraordinarily inept, and I refuse to help him in any way, shape, or form.

I encourage you to ditch elacoin and try out feathercoin2. Unlike elacoin, feathercoin2 has windows support!

I'm going to wait for feathercoin3 android binaries.

Soon! :)

you guys mean this one right? hahahaha

I'm on it.. Just got home from work.. I compiled it this morning, but some chang were pushed after that so I have to recompile it.. I except bbq coins and any other altcoin you would like to donate ;-)

Mind you though, i compile the source as is.. So no complaining about litecoin features.. Milkshake didn't spend much time on the qt part..

Btw you guys want qt or the elacoind.exe?

ELC - premined scamcoin!
Feathercoin2 is the future. it has windows support! © Hazard

Here it is:

Have fun!

Btw, this is the QT client. I'll try the elacoind.exe now..

O, and I included a shortcut with an addnode I used on Linux this morning.. Since the IRC is crappy and the dns entries seem to be invalid, I'd suggest you add some more nodes. You can find them all around the Elacoin topics...

And for the BBQ lovers: bUJC6MYEN8ZkwtA94wqPh9ztcJ4S1SQY5V

Hmm, a new release will follow.. Apparently someone though it funny to add invalid checkpoints to the checkpoints.cpp file:
https://github.com/elacoin/elacoin/commit/992bdc98758006bd597135df66c8c4b7b752109b (https://github.com/elacoin/elacoin/commit/992bdc98758006bd597135df66c8c4b7b752109b)

Which causes the client to error:

Edit2: Wasn't the checkpoint.. Was the starting difficulty:
https://github.com/elacoin/elacoin/commit/0d3db7e9da6b12801439d24e32250c0243021b18 (https://github.com/elacoin/elacoin/commit/0d3db7e9da6b12801439d24e32250c0243021b18)

Genesis block was mined with diff 0 so the client won't accept it with diff >>20 :p

Did you get the new github upload ?

Its currently running without error only it doesnt sync blocks

Yeah I got the new one.. that was the mistake ;-)

gief :D

So we have a working -QT now??

Almost.

Soon hes compiling it now i guess

Here we go...


I'll explain what I had to do in the next post..

Okay,

I got some unexplainable errors: nBits below minimum work


I tried to see what exactly the value of nBits was at the time using


But alas, it won't give any output.. So... What I did, quick and dirty is:



I removed the error ;-)

Consequence is that your clients when used for mining might think it mined a valid block but actually didn't. The network will correct that I think. Maybe a more experienced dev can tell why this error occurs in the first place. I personally think it has something to do with the fact that the difficulty was changed from >>100000000 to >20 after mining the genesis block.

Let me know if it works there!

OK, it hangs after dl-ing a few blocks, but when u restart it if happily resumes..

btw, use the conf file i added in the rar, it contains some working nodes..

Update: New rar file with elacoind.exe as well:

Sent you the 500 BBQ bounty :)

Thanks tyrion!

Can you tell me what version of mingw, qt, and deps you used?
I was trying to build it, but have some errors with the boost lib.

Cool! Thanks! So it's working fine on your end now?

Sure, I first followed the guide on:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0)

I used all the mentioned downloads there plus miniupnpc-1.8.

Then the fun part begins because the quide itself is not enough unfortunately..

You have to change the net.cpp file because it loads the upnp lib with a prefix (which is fine for Linux but not on Windows)

Also you have to make some changes to elacoin-qt.pro and src/makefile.mingw. Some libraries are needed in a different order and you need to add the
option to prevent mingw to use the wrong dependencies

I've uploaded changed files here:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0f2VDPOrXt4V05WRFRDejlDYzQ/edit?usp=sharing (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0f2VDPOrXt4V05WRFRDejlDYzQ/edit?usp=sharing)

Works perfect for me, thank you!

Thanks! Indeed, I tried that guide, and did some tweaks in .pro file, but not what you did.
Those changes are gonna be useful in the future ;D

For some reason I'm getting stuck at 2499 blocks?  :-\

Hmmm.. That sounds like a checkpoint issue.. 2499 blocks left? or 2499 loaded?

was your appdata/elacoin dir empty when u started? Wesjuh had a similar issue but that solved it for him

Elacoin dev inserted checkpoints to overwrite the actual blockchain with one that he created in private.

This is old news people.

Thanks,

totally forgot I had ran it earlier and didn't clean my appdata out, runs like a charm now, thanks!

Yup.. So mebezac had ran ur QT with the premined blockchain ;-)

Thanks

Can someone please post some addnodes ? ( can't find them in the thread, so many many posts ) My qt wont connect to the network.
Thanks in advance !

There is a file in the .rar called elacoin.conf copy this to your AppData\Roaming\Elacoin and it should connect.

Nodes are in the elacoin.conf

thanks men !!

so yeah...... The elacoin-qt crashes after like block 1200 for me? with (System cannot find file or directory) cmd windows.

Any chance you could elaborate on the exact changes you made to elacoin-qt.pro or perhaps provide the file so I can compare it line by line to the original version? I've been trying without success to compile the QT wallet and have had no luck yet the daemon compiles fine. It's very frustrating. :D

Seems pretty legit from what I have seen

I have no reason to doubt the legitimacy but I'd like to be able to successfully compile the QT wallet for myself for all future coins rather than relying on someone else's binaries.

this makes alot of sense if you read the source, or at least diff it against a known good set, before you compile it.

we're creating a step by step guide for it too

it's compiling now, so we'll have binaries with the retarget for all platforms. cept android.
