141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DRK] Darkcoin | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW and Darksend | Instant TX on: December 15, 2014, 07:59:20 PM
Anyone knows why average spacing between DarkCoin blocks is approximately 157 seconds instead of 150 seconds? I remember that when creating SpreadCoin several months ago I noted that there is a small bug in DarkCoin difficulty retarget which causes block generation to be a bit slower than it should be. But it seems that I lost this knowledge. When I'm now looking at difficulty retarget it looks correct to me, although a bit obfuscated.

Please, let's not start flamewar here. Everyone makes mistakes, we are all human after all.

I mine ok with HD7970/280x. But when I mine with a HD7850 2GB, it crashes and spews out a bunch of error syntax. Does anyone have a conf for the HD7850?
What errors? Can you please paste them here?
If it starts with "LLVM ERROR: Cannot select" then you need to update your drivers.

The Spreadcoin dev is reviewing the Darkcoin code and just posted this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=715435.msg9839488#msg9839488

Mr.spread,what's status of masternode and darksend developmnet?
It is far from ready yet but I think I found a potential vulnerability in DarkCoin which allows miners (actually pools) to not pay part of the block reward to masternodes.
DarkCoin wallet checks the following things for each new block:  
1) There is a payment to master node.
2) There is a payment with the same amount as a payment to master node should be (30%).
But there is no check that this is the same payment. This means that if you generate a block you can pay 0.0000001 DRK to masternode and pay 30% and (70% - 0.0000001 DRK) to yourself as separate coinbase outputs. Such blocks should be accepted by DarkCoin network but I haven't tested it on testnet so I can't be 100% sure.
I don't want any vulnerabilities out the wild so thought I'd check here.  This is what happens when "Enforcement" is off, right?  Or is this a separate issue and potential vulnerability?

Patched:  https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/commit/ee8174a2c690b995003449a046b036d87ae25b5d  (sorry, trimmed space after every line)

Compiling 10.17.24 now, feel free to update from source
Is there any reward for discovering bugs and vulnerabilities? I have found several other bugs.

Sorry but it looks like your coins are gone.  Embarrassed



I'm really sorry about this.
Not necessarily, while address format is the same, private key format is different, it is necessary to convert it, I will try to do it.
Ah, I was hoping something like this would be the case. You are a great dev Mr. Spread.
I successfully converted this private key to SpreadCoin format and now I can steal your 0.16 SPR Grin

Oh, you are truly great dev. I wrote to C-CEX, and I wait for the answer.
If they will give you this private key you can send it to me if you trust me and I will send these coins to your new address. If you don't trust me this will complicate things but we can still figure out how to return these coins back to you.

Mr. Spread, have you found the part of the Darkcoin code where, "Enforcement" is on or off?  I THINK that may be what you're seeing as when enforcement is off, yes, that can and has happened.

And have you notified the Darkcoin developer, Evan Duffield?
It is in the code that checks that payments are correct if they are enforced, more specifically it is in these lines: https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L2822
I found it about half an hour ago and haven't yet notified anyone from Darkcoin team. This probably is bad, I should think better next time and contact dev first.
I'm still not 100% sure if it is a bug, maybe all the necessary checks are performed somewhere else but I didn't find any other checks.

I personally find this graph a tiny bit confusing. IMO it makes a lot morse sense if we use the old one but say "Reward over 10 minutes" instead of just "Reward" (for the Y axis).
Maybe "block reward" would be more appropriate name?

What is this other coin? Maybe it uses the same address format as SpreadCoin.

epic fail.
You need to contact C-CEX and ask them for private key corresponding to this address. Then you will need to import this key into your SpreadCoin wallet but I'm not sure if this will actually work.

Hello, Mr. Spread. I make mistake and send my spr to wallet address of other coin. How did chain processed this transactions, if this spr address is incorrect?
What is this other coin? Maybe it uses the same address format as SpreadCoin.
Just type checkwallet and repairwallet,the wrongly sent coins can be back ,dont worry about it.
No, this transaction is in blockchain: http://spreadcoin.net/explorer/SVMV9Mxk9H9JSrPDAdLeua1FNvnNnU4muw
It may be possible to recover these coins by using corresponding private key from other coin.

I was about to say "Wow, how did you change the picture for people that quoted the old one?" But then I realised it uses the same URL. Heh, looks like you traveled into the future. Smiley   (Notice the time stamp)
I replaced logo in repository and started builds with the new logo. Then I went to OP to replace logo there but it was already replaced, this shocked me, for a moment I thought that our world was overrun by artificial intelligence that automatically fulfills our wishes Smiley After that I remembered that after first logo replacement I pointed it directly to github repo so that it can be automatically updated.

Mr Spread, perhaps a change to the thread title to reflect your plans for Masternodes and Darksend might get some more traffic in here? Wink
yes, its a good marketing there are hundreds of darkfans
yeah,changing the thread title can attract more attention. Cheesy
Well, I want to have least some working prototype before such announcements.

For those who want to run miner with older AMD drivers but get "LLVM ERROR: Cannot select", I think I know the solution:
1. Install newer drivers.
2. Run miner once; it will compile necessary binaries.
3. Install older drivers.
4. Execute miner with the same parameters, it will now use previously compiled binary.

For R9 280X you can use binary compiled by me: http://spreadcoin.net/nonsite/spreadcoinTahitiglg2tc8192w256l4.bin
Just place it into the miner directory and use the following parameters
Code:
 --thread-concurrency 8192 --lookup-gap 2 --worksize 256
you can vary other parameters but these must be set to these specific values.

If others people will compile binaries for other GPUs then I can add them to the miner distribution and there will be no need to install newer drivers and compile them by yourself.

I will start working on integrating DarkCoin features: masternodes and darksend. I will not copy-paste them blindly, maybe I will make a few improvements if possible. After this we will test it on testnet to see how it is working. Once it is ready I will set a hardfork point and make new builds, I want to make this transition flawless. I understand that there is a lot of impatience, people want everything to happen instantly but I don't think we need a rush here.

Since masternodes and darksend work for DarkCoin I see no reason why it wouldn't work for SpreadCoin. If you have any suggestions about how masternodes/darksend can be made better you can say it.

I will leave the names Masternode and DarkSend as is, I don't see any reason to rename them.

Also I want to write a white paper about my changes and original DarkCoin features themselves, current DarkCoin white papers are either outdated or describe only part of the necessary information. I want my cryptocurrency to have a good description about what it is and how it works.

Yes, the wallet has to be in server mode for the miner to communicate with it. Hence, 'server=1' line in the .conf file.

okay server mode running the wallet and a browser error 127.0.0.1:41677 {"result":null,"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error"},"id":null}
Spreadminer  running and not accepted shares

The Nvidia miner needs Compute 3.0 or above capable cards, I couldn't mine with the 720M in my laptop. What GPU are you running?

Nvidia GT 730 desktop PC


As others have told you, you are already mining. Since this is solo mining, it is much more random than pool mining. With such hashrate you will need several hours to find one block.

- I think we also should use an opensource freefont for the corporate identity. Now the Myriad is used, it is nice but copyrighted.
Myriad is currently used only on the website. I don't see much of an issue here; as long as we don't distribute the font itself, only graphics with it, I think it's ok. We probably should use the same font everywhere, on the website, splashscreen and in the about dialog.

I made some examples, 1. Montserrat, 2. Ubuntu (bitcoin typeface, however different weight and not slanted)


Unlike Susel, I like the Montserrat more  Smiley

Thanks!
I'd like to! I'm actually a web-designer Smiley
So, if it may help I can do a landing page.
This would be awesome!
