Hi,
Does any one have any addnodes?

My wallet been showing "No block source" for 3 days now.

Thanks

if wallet has no peers, you shouldn't be able to mine, and if you can then you are forking the chain.

You only need 1 connection, but you DO need one connection

It's a very old coin that someone tried to get going again, however you don't need the faucet, just go to the front page, grab a wallet, grab a miner and its easy enough to mine a small amount via the pool.

Hi,

I see Sunny has updated the linux version, but no windows version...
Can someone please confirm which version of Linux and Windows wallet i should be using. (with links).
I'm currently testing "primecoin-qt-0.1.5-linux" on Ubuntu 16
On windows 10, i have "primecoin-0.1.5-rc1-win64.zip" which when opened says "v0.16.0.0-4e31bf9ed" "walletversion": 159900


Also, can anyone update the cpu miner to work with xpmforall.org ?
I have tried jhprimeminer and it fails, and can't find any others, all the "mega" and "dropbox" links are well dead.

Thanks
J

Crazy way to launch a coin.

Have to use an online wallet via telegram (absolute no-no for most miners)
No compiled wallets for Linux or Windows.

What are you thinking.
Compile the desktop wallets and restart the chain, totally crazy otherwise....

TBH, i started @ 7.30am with LM20.1, (my fault), then rebuild hard drive with clean LM20.04 for a few attempts, finally started afresh with LM18.3, and now @14.50pm, still have no wallet, so i give in

I must stress, i completely appreciate the efforts yourself and many other programmers on here put in, but when i read
"If you need to preserve wallet compatibility with distributed Gapcoin executables, then do a "depends" build",  i'm sat here thinking, i don't even know what that means, nevermind knowing if i should worry about it....

It really should not be this difficult to start with a clean drive, install LM or Ubuntu and get a fresh wallet running...

Hi,

Tried building on Clean install LinuxMint
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:   LinuxMint
Description:   Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia
Release:   18.3
Codename:   sylvia

using
git clone https://github.com/gjhiggins/fuguecoin.git
cd fuguecoin/
qmake
got error "qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory"

Then did
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev

(my bad, i was following build-unix.md instructions, not readme-qt.rst)

then tried

sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev
qmake (at least this worked on 18.3, on 20.04 it failed on qt4-make and libqt4-dev)

Hi,
Any chance you can put up build instructions for clean install of LM20.1
I've had a go, but it fails on the DB4.8, and when i try to manually build using

Can anyone give me some simple instructions to follow?

I think you're missing the point slightly.
No one is going to tell you exactly what you can or cannot do, or advise you what is safe.

I think you simply need to look at any performance desktop PC and look at the size of the air coolers, or the water coolers they are using, along with the huge power supplies and it becomes obvious that a laptop cannot be expected to do the same.
So YES, you can cpu and gpu mine with a laptop, just like you can mine with a raspberry pi 4 as well....but how well it performs, and how long it will last....well no one can tell you that.

If i was going to cpu mine with a laptop, i'd only use 1/2 of its cores (not threads), so on a 8c/16t cpu, i'd use 4 cores....might not overheat too quickly....
Be interested to know how things turn out for you.
Keeps us updated please.

Based on a bit of Googling, looks like the specs for the laptop gpu are significantly lower then the desktop version
GPU Engine Specs: GEFORCE RTX 3080
NVIDIA CUDA® Cores:8704
Boost Clock (GHz)1.71
Base Clock (GHz)1.44
Standard Memory Config: 10 GB GDDR6X
Memory Interface Width   320-bit
Graphics Card Power (W) 320

GPU Engine Specs:GEFORCE RTX 3080 LAPTOP GPU
NIDIA CUDA® Cores: 6144
Boost Clock (MHz) 1245 - 1710 MHz
Standard Memory Configuration: 16 GB GDDR6
Memory Interface Width:   256-bit
GPU Subsystem Power (W): 80 - 150+ W

Have to say looks like a pretty awesome laptop (although i would only ever spend £400 max on any laptop, and probably then go for a chrome book)
I guess for me at least, you buy a laptop to use as a laptop, and if you only want max mining performance you might be better saving on the laptop and getting a dedicated desktop (or rig)....as they say "The choice is yours"

Don't even bother wasting your time trying
The coin is using scrypt, and is already @ 67mh/s, even with a threadripper you'd be lucky to achieve 20th that hash, that's before gpus, and ASICS, completely pointless.

Hi Dev,

Can you please post latest links to Windows / Linux compiled wallets and explorer.
(Might be a good idea to stick them on the first page also)
Thanks

Hi Jaydee....

I have tried using you're miner...works with BTC 16 and lower, but not higher

They are worth what ever someone is will to offer me.
I am happy to trade against, say, LTC, Doge, or other coins

Also 1 sat is a unit of BTC and so only has 8 decimal places (even thou some exchanges have added 1 extra zero, and when they do, they usually mark the 9th decimal place with both a warning and a different colour))

--------------------------------------
2 issues

Issue 1
 need to change .conf
----------------------
server=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=13000
----------------------
 change to
----------------------
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=13000
----------------------

This will now work for most solo mining (sometimes --coinbase-addr=bc1q5d7lfmu9esswxjayjyynk5tn8jd2w9x5jxn0n5 helps sometimes fails - try both ways)

HOWEVER
issue 2

You can no longer solo mine to the BTC wallet. I cannot remember the version but they removed the rpc function, i think from version 16 onwards.
If you want to solo mine, it will have to be another coin. (Unless a solo pool for BTC exists)

Are you just wanting to learn how to solo mine? If so i can probably find an old worthless coin that still syncs and  is cpu minable, just so you can see the process.

PM me i'll see if i can help

Hi, anyone want to trade some of these coins. I have about 100,000, are they worth anything?

So the gist is, there is zero point leaving my wallet open, and unless i buy some more coins, i will never gain any extra....
Thought as much, just wanted to make sure i wasnt making any silly errors
