ok i did not know someone had a repo started on 9.2 ---- Thank you very much for pointing it out.
In windoze getblocktemplate is really not a very important command at all however I feel that a proper release of any program either a coin client or anything else should work ! All commands should work. Releasing something that does not work happens often but then fixes should be done. One big fustration is when you fix one thing and break something else. That is why the more people testing and contributing is usually better.
I will certainly check it out , i can build my own 9.2 clients from source for bitcoin should not be much of a change for iX , excited to see it.
This thread is so long it is easy to miss things, and of course if deadsea was on 9.2 and went back down to 8.6 I would have advised him not to go back honestly.....that explains the re indexing due to unspent outputs (spare change lol).
I am going to be busy for a few days but I will fork that repo and check it out when I have time.
Thanks for pointing it out !!
Also to the nay sayers , look if you don't like IX or that fact that a few of us are continuing development just go to another thread and do something constructive with your time and posts instead of cluttering up this thread more that it is allready. Let us waste our time (in your eyes)
Vlad should just declare himself the lead dev. Lots of other lead devs out there who are not coders in todays environment.
If someone 'new' wanted to get involved into iX coin, how the hell would they know what client to use, where to find it, what github was the correct one ect
It is confusing even for me and I have been trying to follow along. A new thread with the latest builds and events in the op may not be a bad idea.
The original creator of this coin seems like a nice guy but has never updated his github in years. You need old tools to compile it. Frictionless source would not compile for me without changes. My fork compiles to a working build of 8.6 (honestly it resembles 8.2 more) but I think it great that someone had the time to do the 9.2 job.
I will need some time to study the code that has been elevated to 9.2
Only 2 coins I know of currently run 9.2 they are bitcoin and riecoin.....
@zebedee - perhaps you should go the cremation route.
Thanks for this effort cinnamon_carter, really like having qr code support in a client. As your branch here is off the 0.8.6 code from frictionlesscoin & not the 9.2 code base Ahmed_Bodi has created, that source found here:
https://github.com/IXCoin-Dev/IXCoinFelt it worth pointing out to folks, (aka deadsea33) jumping up and then back down a version while testing different 'ALPHA' client programs, your lucky if all you need to do is a blockchain rescan.
Looked @ your code changes to fix those rpc commands, had not forgotten about that issue cinn, running 9.2 here & just executed the getblocktemplate/getwork commands in the v0.9.2.1-g752ecec-beta client console, they seemed to return good responses, without any errors or a client crash, other than that I've no idea if they are really working as you need, or what source code diff there is between them.
The link to that Win executable is somewhere back in this thread...know he had some units of measurement source changes((mIxc & uIxc) since the last .exe compile, perhaps that fixed and a MAC version would be great, and then also just figured out we need to have an update on the Ixcoin 0.9.2.1 build date, it says July 4th, 2014.
@cinnamon_carter - Was hoping
you would look over how the merged mining code in v9.2 'feels' too you, and report back, no offense to Ahmed, the fact he intends on releasing it fully tested and ready to run MM on a major pool is outstanding. Yet IMO the more understanding eyeballs we get on that section the better for Ixc and many other alts, we need to be able to formulate a proof of the merged mining technique used, perhaps even to save us from the same fate as zebedee...
Where I'm at, is the whole issue of building the Ixcoin executable from scratch, gotta figure that out & then study the critical components and code changes which make that work is going to take me months, call me slow....I'll get there.
GR
tl;dr ===> so it sounds like you are making copys of bitcoin nice! so what makes this one so rocking?
