POOL:

http://tek.dsync.net/

if anyone is having a issue with block count not matching to my pool. what i ended up doing was using the original windows client downloaded block chain. then moved the blk to my linux server. to ease everyone's process i have uploaded the blk chain up to block 23xxx

thanks spoid been a long day here

reward 1 tek per block ?
and the spec is 100 tek per block ?
any explain ?

no connections, always out of sync, post some nodes?

thanks... already at block 1721, instamine or premine? lol

Bj2XqVmA2CfhqpeJcKauiynEorqHZrwfEC  help, i have no TEK!!

OMG!!! 1 coin per block instamine.

lol

1 coin blocks are all orphans, at block 1722 now? wtf

no instamine or premine. was announced in cryptsy chat right when ann post went up on cryptocointalk.. maybe 10 mins later i posted it over here on btc-e

the had been release rumors of this coin for days . i think some asic were just ready to hop on at a split second notice.

that does not explain 10 mins 1720 blocks. According to spec it should be 10 blocks for 10 mins.

either premine, or massive instamine.

also "100 Tekcoin Initial reward" what's that mean?

another coin we don't need which won't have any future whatsoever.

Nothing to see here people, move along

clearly massive instamine at least, even now (at block 1759) the actual block time is less than 20 sec instead of the designed 1 min.

The coin has been talked about for about a week in cryptsy chat i suspect some good size asic were ready to go at release.. i dont even have an asic to instamine with if i wanted to.

yes starting diff was low, it didnt stay that way long the asics hopped on right at release. will take some time for diff to balance out.

not accusing dev do instamining, just state the fact that instamine happened here, with blockexplorer we'll see the details. Many people have big asics for sha256, this is the problem of sha256 coins.

Solomining with bfgminer, getting the following error:

                   

Qu'est-ce que c'est?

true. hopefully it plays out ok. With the insta asic hammering in retrospect, this coin may have benefited from a increased starting diff.

1850 blocks in 105 minutes? A block every 3.4 seconds if launched when the post says it did.

GUI is terrible  ;D
Why did you choose this layout?  :o
I Cannot read nothing in the first tab

looks like you guys put some good work into this, not the same old shit at least :)

I'm mining!

p.s. for windows users you do not need to make a shortcut with -server. When I did this I couldn't solo mine, only worked when I ran it from the main qt.exe

And how is this revolutionary?  ???

The difficulty jumped a lot in the first minutes. For most users this makes no sense without a pool. Also the design of the UI is horrible. It looks like a 10 year old did it.

OK, Announcement at Cryptocointalk was 10:17pm PST. It's now roughly four hours later and we're on block 2067. 240 minutes or 14,400 seconds divided by 2067, that's roughly seven seconds per block.

The blockchain will tell the real story.

Waiting for lock explorer to insert derogatory remarks here

The link you gave, wallet can not download is how it happened?

Incoming update today sounds like a dual update with one having default type wallet design.
It looks like the original release wallet is looking for a custom font, and then defaults back hence the stock tiny lettering.

Did get some blocks after a while. Only 1 coin per block seems very little, hope it will worth more ;D

Any exchanges?

Almost got a windows compiled for the new wallet. Stand by.

Pools???

Need pools!
And why don't you change this user interface, it looks ugly?

Well, I admit, it's no PowerCoin ::)

Why is there no pools?

I've asked multiple people about getting a pool up.

Nothing yet. :-[

You would think with all the interest, that there would be a pool already. :)

+1

I am selling tekcoin.

1000tek = 1BTC
100 tek = 0.1 BTC

I am in the process of setting up a pool, but need some help.

Someone help this man!!!

I have a vps and domain.

Any luck on the pools yet? Almost every other new coin this past week has a pool except for this one.

i keep messing it up. Im trying

It's so funny, the community get's all pissy, if there's a premine on a new coin, yet, that SAME community, will not create a pool, for a coin that doesn't offer a bounty, becase there was no premine ::)

I can't get the wallet to sync on this at all. It's just stuck at block 7075. I'm running ubuntu, any ideas?

Cheers

addnode= 75.111.65.232

Put this in a file called tekcoin.conf and put that file in your %appdata%/tekcoin/  if on windows

haha that helps a lot! -- thanks!

haha is anyone mining this? I just turned it on and I'm getting like 1 a second!

and the obvious answer is no

yeah that's just what I thought :) Still it's nice to see the thing flash up every second.

Might move on to something more productive thought.

Might want to change

<Ann> advanced new sha256 Tekcoin

to

[ANN] [TEK] TEKcoin - An Advanced New SHA256 Coin

for starters...
The formatting of this thing makes me wonder what the code looks like.

Can anyone help a brother out with a config file? My dumbass cant get my miner to connect :'(

change user and pass if you feel like it. if your miner is not the same computer as the wallet, you will have to add an rpcallowip accordingly.

bfgminer will connect a jalapeno like this:

bfgminer -o localhost:18514 -u user -p pass --disable-gpu

and block erupters like this:

bfgminer -o localhost:18514 -u user -p pass --disable-gpu -S all

Thanks spoid!

Giving it a go right now

I think thats where I screw up. My eruptors are not the same computer as my wallet, if I'm reading that right. For reasons I cant figure out, I just cant get TEK to connect. I can solo mine OSC no problem.




Here is my OSC bat file.

bfgminer.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:80 -u user -p 12345 -G -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100


And my OSC confg file

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=80
rpcuser=user

rpcpassword=12345
server=1
gen=0

But if I try to plug in the different numbers for TEK or even TIGER she a no work!

I can't sync shit. I'm already using:
addnode= 75.111.65.232
addnode=184.155.117.207

Any more nodes?

edit: It's moving along, thanks JD. Guess that space in my addnode didn't help either ;D

Spoke too soon. It never did sync. I even deleted files in my my appdata to restart downloading the blockchain; nothing. It moved along down to less than 900 blocks then jumped back to 5k plus. Something fucked up here when the wallet can't even sync.

Alright, finally all in sync and solo coins are maturing.

one of those nodes was down, is now back up. i just synced up very quick.

better create a pool for this one, mining for 3 hours to get 1 coin is not fun.

+1 this! I still cant get solo mining working

i'm finding it hard to get this to sync. It will for a minute but then won't. It's impossible to mine with it. I keep getting communication errors. Was ok this morning so not sure what's up.

and the 10 minute pos is not working.....

Any pools yet?

thats the block spacing for the pos blocks to mint once you become eligible. you do not have any eligible coins yet they are not aged enough once they do then you can start minting stake blocks at the 10 min block time.

Working as intended.

Are there ways to earn this coin without mining, maybe by writing?

Is there are pool for TEK yet, or is this coin just going to fade away? Most coins have a pool within a day of their launch.

If anyone wants to purchase tek or a mining contract for tek PM me.

the wallet needs a gui change asap we can see anything on it

try this conf

listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*
Port=8514
RPCPort=18514

WTS 1000 TEK pm me offer

I also have some to sell. 1000tek for 0.3 BTC

I want to see this coin go somewhere, but if the dev is not willing to put any effort into it, then why should I, or any of us waste our time mining it?

may be need minnig poll + exchange like coinex.pw

I think the problem is that we cannot build p2pools with pos/pow coins. will have to wait until someone who can do regular pools comes along. or someone knows a foolproof tutorial how to set those up. I only know how to do p2pools. D:

how can i swap the gui look on this wallet?

who knows....

push our poll thread  ;)

Im not complaining. But the DEV should be the one who should do all of this. Not us. If your too lazy to get services for this coin then why the fuck make it in the first place?

Your probably also one of those people who get all pissy over Premines too. You can have bounties and give aways, or you can have a coin with no premine, you can't have both. ::)

Just when I see a new coin and I see all the comments on this. Think ill pass been as tho it don't look good for its future.



Well in many peoples views why you made the coin is completely relevant. Knowing why the coin was made what its use is and so forth, then many can decide on to place BTC into it or even to put on sites and exchange sites to grow. Seems like you don't really care for the coin much other than yourself by the looks of it.

Would of been nice to know what you have planned for the coin or even why you bothered to make it.

.10btc bounty to the first person who sends me instructions that can get me up solo mining with bfgminer

https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/blob/bfgminer/README

Solo-mining instructions for BFGminer begin at line 487. CLI specific example cited on line 505, localhost is the same as 127.0.0.1

*Make sure you have appropriate <wallet>-qt client running



Hope this helps

What are you mining with? Eruptors? A Jalapeno? This matters......

thank you TEK fans from the cryptsy chat

Is there any news on this coin being added to any exchanges?

POOL IS ALL FIXED AND UP

ps: check your block count.. compair the block count to my pool to ensure you have the right fork

mining like a boss. Now all this coin needs is exchange.

I vote for btc-e :)

It's an unusual coin with only one coin per block, I guess you always know how many coins are in circulation.

Not sure if it will get picked up by an exchange, needs to have a quorum of regular miners. etc.

Might be worth chatting to coinex.pw they do a few of the SHA256 alt-coins.


BTW. is the chain forked? I can only see about 18678 blocks of the supposed 24642

Can I have an IP for someone that's on the correct chain please?

All the ones in this thread so far are not helping atm.

"connections" : 13,
"proxy" : "",
"ip" : "75.111.65.232",
"difficulty" : 1568.33352991,
"blocks" : 24665,
"moneysupply" : 24665.00000000


tested the download and installed on a clean machine and the windows sources linked here, work fine. Sounds like a few people are on a bad chain im not sure yet.

I tried 75.111.65.232 it just gives connection timeout in the debug.log no problem pinging 75.111.65.232

Perhaps it's hit a connection limit or something?

i would back up your wallet .dat then wipe the files and instal and start with a fresh one of the ugly gui
 let it sych all the way you shoudnt need a .conf or addnodes. then you can swap you the qt for clean if you want and maybe trya wallet.dat copy pasta

maybe a repairwallet in the console at some point

Done that a few times, still only hits the 18k block count and stops. I am using the version I compiled from the github source about a week ago. v0.1.3.0-g99999-TEK

I just downloaded the source again and compiled it, deleted the chain etc. and it speeds along until about height=18705 then starts spouting continuous messages about ORPHAN BLOCK and looses the plot.

Can't, I am running Linux and Mac not windows. Have to compile from source.

heres the fix

download OLD windows client

 downloaded block chain up to 24xxx
 ziped up data then send to linux
 run tekcoind

maybe i can get the chain posted up

Is the source on github bad?
I used the one from https://github.com/maxxine/tekcoin

If I force peer with connect= commands in the conf, and only specify peers with the large block chain, the debug.log fills up with:

ERROR: CheckBlock() : bad block signature
ERROR: ProcessBlock() : CheckBlock FAILED


That looks like a problem.

If the only platform that gets the right block chain is windows then that is a major problem which requires urgent attention, as pools and exchanges tend to run linux back-ends.

so this is fu*king awesome .....
i was mining the whole time on the wrong chain because developer fuc*ed up sources ??? - and not just only me
what a world .....

Same here dude. This dev is a fu*king douche!

Unfortunately with the bad source code and the forked chain TEK is going nowhere.

You are wasting your electricity mining this coin in the broken state.

Stop until it is fixed.

pool seems to be working good, thanks!

thanks

how we doing on this coin, mining is nice and easy.  Need some more activity it seems though

^^ Agreed, is this coin dead or is there active dev pushing to get it on some trading sites?

yeah i'm finding heaps of blocks then getting "pool 0 share became stale during submission failure..." for all of them. Think something's very broken.

mining on tek.dsync.net and all is fine...

If ur solomining, make sure, ur at correct blockchain. There was bad blockchain few days back, created by linux tekcoind wallets. To be sure, compare your blockcount to blockount on pool.

For exchange, why dont u post here? : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291647.0
Its not that big but still exchange ;)

yep ok i must be on the wrong chain. The fix looks a bit of a pain. I downloaded the latest source but is there an easy way to get on the latest chain?

Cheers

Cryptsy is great! of course. post here to give them a nudge http://forum.litebonk.com/index.php?topic=691.0

That thread is very old, almost one month with no post, are you sure that is where you should go to ask them to add it ?

The super bad COIN after backup all my tekcoin  uncomfirmed

Yeah BitJohn has been busy, but he still keeps up on the thread and has recently been looking for new coins to add.  He knows about TEK, he made a comment about TEK and OSC last week when he was doing his coin rounds.

What would be good for TEK lets do some brainstorming as a group. Anyone have ideas?

faucet
giveaway thread
?

I am adding Tek to my site http://crazycointalk.net/forum and adding a bunch of other things to. Feel free to join up as much is coming for coin owners and pool owners for hosted forums and much more :)

Go vote for TEK to be added to Cryptsy!!!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=309704.0

I will send a few TEK to anyone who votes, adds a post to the thread above and sends me their address via PM.


Thundertoe, can you add the same information for TEK to the thread as is in this post?  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=309704.msg3325515#msg3325515

I just mined my first proof of stake of .45 TEK.

Yessir stake is minting, mostly .4 for me so far but a couple much larger when larger amounts get staked.

I just started getting a runtime error in my wallet today that won't allow me to open it.

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

In the wallet at the bottom I see:
EXCEPTION: St13runtime_error
ReserveKeyFromKeyPool(): read failed
C:\Users\Name\Desktop\TEK\tekcoin-qt.exe in ThreadStakeMinter()


I also tried to move my wallet.dat to another machine and ended up with the same error.

Ideas?

EDIT:  FIXED with --salvagewallet

id be in for helping start some bounties

As would I.

+150 TEK

Have they fixed the coin so it runs on any other platform than Windows?
It's been over a month.

Both my tekcoind wallets are now on correct blockchain;

they did not sync by themselves to correct blockchain, i had to supply them with the correct one from win qt wallet. But this was like 3 weeks back, maybe tekcoind can sync now withouth issues...

Thundertoe...... Are you going to set up some bounties? If you dont get something going it will soon be gone once a few new sha coins are released

Services can be bought with bounties sure.  Is there something that seems worthwhile or people want?
Some services are out of the question until TEKcoin is trading on an exchange vendors wont be able to really use it.
However something like blackjack or a satoshi dice betting site is very doable.
TEKcoin is setup atm to be on a sha-256 multipool service with other new sah coins as soon as any of them hit the market.

Today i am working on some web development ideas, and a TEKcoin project that i hope to be able to announce soon.

In short.. Let me know what services are desired or would help TEKcoin out and then we can go after them.

how about just setting up a wallet to except donations for an exchange bounty?

i can't setup tekcoin on linux no matter what i try.  i tired to copy the db from windows which is correct, but the databases must be mismatched?  This is simply an issue of compiling with a different dependency?

*edit* I can't even sync my windows wallet and my linux wallet directly.  They connect as peers, but data is refusing to transfer.  is the source code going to be update do fix this problem any time soon?  This is stupid, this problem has been on going for far to long.  The fork is almost 42000 blocks now!

this is no fork. there was a bad source released 9/8 on linux and people mined it. This was fixed as soon as it was discovered quite awhile ago. The original TEK chain has never forked.

This is current.

current chain is blocks" : 57168,
"moneysupply" : 57143.91383500,
  
i

I pulled the newest code of tekcoind, and I kept getting cycled into clients with the wrong block chain (and matching version clients) when building on Linux.  Is there anyway to get a code update that updates the client version, and that they can detect a client that is on this corrupted block chain and prevent them from communicating with newer clients?  I'd be nice to download the block chain on a Linux (server) without having to get 2xxxx blocks from windows and moving it.  I even tried building from the posted source code, and no change.

if anyone is having a issue with block count not matching to my pool / or not on the correct fork. what i ended up doing was using the original windows client downloaded block chain. then moved the blk to my linux server. to ease everyone's process i have uploaded the blk chain up to where the fork happend block 23xxx
