Alright, I'm working on rebuilding fedorco.in right now. If anyone has those windows prebuilds or a download they got from back when languishing in their download folder, I'd greatly appreciate it. MystPhysX provided his OS X version, and mtxm got the linux version to me.  

In the meantime, fedoracoin users, play with this.

Don't make any general announcements anywhere else yet, though, your eyes only. Otherwise you might put someone's eye out.
Cool, heading in a nice direction. Why merc though? A mercenary is hardly related to pirating.

Old OSX wallet had an OpenSSL version which was vulnerable to Heartbleed. Updated version is available now: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60507461/FedoraCoin-Qt.zip

In 6 days it will be a year since Fedoracoin was launched. That means the domain fedoraco.in will be expiring.

I will not be renewing it. Does anyone want to take over it? I'll give them the details if they step up.

Out of curiosity what is the actual cost in USD to renew the domain? what responsibilities would taking over the domain include?  
8.5USD for another year.

I will be giving control of the account that owns the domain to whoever is interested. If you're not comfortable with that then it'll cost another 5-10UDS to transfer the domain.

In terms of responsibilities you will just have to manage DNS changes which is like 5 minutes and then you never have to do it again.
If no one else has stepped up, I will. If you don't mind keeping them going on your account and I just pay you the amount owed, pay you for both fedoraco.in and chainexplorer.info. What do you prefer to be paid in?  
----
Also, as an aside, and so I don't double post, anyone know why the fedoracoin URI doesn't pull the app in Linux? I tried digging around to see if there was a way to make it happen in Firefox or Chrome and couldn't come up with anything.
chainexplorer.info will be more expensive at 10.47usd, just registering a new .com should be about half the price. I'll send you the other details.

--------------------------------

I finally got around to doing this. Here is a bootstrap.dat file for blocks 1 - 530001. It's about 500mb, same instructions: https://litecoin.info/Bootstrap.dat

It will take a while for the client to verify all the blocks so don't panic if it doesn't respond for a bit.

I'm interested as soon as I get chainexplorer.info up. 

Also, MystPhysX, do you still have a zip of the Mac OS X wallet laying around?

And anyone that has the 1.0 of the Windows one would be appreciated, too. It's trivial to build the wallet in Linux, but these need to be rehosted, bad.

In the chat with mxtm, he said that this is the official linux download:

http://mxtm.me/dl/fedoracoin-1.0.tar.gz

Because, protip, if you git clone fedoracoin/fedoracoin, you're going to wind up with the 0.6 version.

Nah, I bumped the version here: https://github.com/fedoracoin/fedoracoin/commit/5e52a50ffff02b091174ea4aac8f398637ffdd2d

Say hello to mxtm for me.

MystPhys, don't you control the domain registration?

So, I've been using this wallet unlocking and staking with no problems. So I launch xCash this morning and put go to unlock the wallet for staking and it says... 'The passphrase entered for the wallet decryption was incorrect' So I guess now I'm locked out of my coins. I tried using a backup wallet and it does the same.

Could you guys try this for me?

  • Copy your wallet.dat and install a fresh wallet on another computer.
  • Replace the freshly generated wallet.dat with the one you are locked out of
  • See if you can access the coins with your password

I gave it a try and it still says passphrase is incorrect


Thanks. I'll look at the code again.

'The passphrase entered for the wallet decryption was incorrect' So I guess now I'm locked out of my coins. I tried using a backup wallet and it does the same.

So today I get a PM asking if I had any luck with my locked out wallet. I guess another coin was built using xCash as the base and they have three different users that are locked out of their wallets.

This happened to me too. My only solution so far was to start
a new wallet, this time without a password.  It is staking just fine
but the 1st wallet had 500 coins in it that can never be retrieved?
I'm absolutely certain that my password is correct.   I'd say fixing this should
be a priority.   Merry Christmas

210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FedoraCoin (TiPS); New style, new services, same unique features on: December 26, 2014, 12:20:35 AM
Hi Guys, I've been away for a few days now. But in the process, I am putting together a team of developers, all of them new to crypto, but very good at their work. The learning curve is steep so the earliest they could get to work on this coin is January 2015. Meanwhile, to be fair to the large wallets: Its not fair to penalize them, they believed in the coin while the rest of us were elsewhere, let us work with them. They could finance the development of features and services around the coin. We could also have Off exchange buying and selling of the same coins.

this is very awesome news!!!
I also agree we shouldn't penalize the large holders who were the early backers of this coin you have a good point. especially since it appears the large wallets belong to exchanges so there is nothing negative about that. I had also very busy weeks recently and couldn't contribute much here but I'm very glad to see TIPS alive and kicking! Anyway I was thinking today about the POS vs POW, if we could switch the algo without creating a new coin no body would lose their coins and the benefits are:
- community of TIPS would gain value (new TIPS) while supporting the network instead of miners who are mostly not interested in it and keep dumping the coin on us
- the value would be supported by the community because we are largely holders, price won't be pressed down through the miners
- for those of us who have mining equipment we could create a pool to mine other coins and automatically convert to TIPS or BTC
is that not worth doing?

I would also like to make donations to new ideas if somebody wants to do something for TIPS, and we also have the community fund now from which we can start supporting projects, so any suggestions?

What do you think of having a backup blockexplorer at https://chainz.cryptoid.info/? I contacted (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=221182) Fairglu, and the response was that he takes 125USD per year to host a chain explorer on the website. What do you guys think about that? Am willing to contribute some towards this.

Meanwhile, since the means and manner of securing the blockchain is a work in progress, how about we pick the best of each solution in the market? We retain the POW, while employing POS in further securing transactions via masternodes (Darkcoin). The quantity and quality of transactions (Proof of Importance) could also be used to further secure the network by encouraging liquidity and movement (NEM).


yah I see that fedoracha.in is still down (or down again), I'm not sure what's the best to do maybe the people hosting those can tell us if they can support them going whether we should donate to them to keep them running or should we pay for the back up. eitherway I will support what the community comes up with and donate what I can.

also yah about securing the network, I'm not an expert on the technicalities, but my understanding is that we need enough miners to support it going and this varies with the price of the coin because most of those mining do so for profitability. so to have a stronger network I have been and still am for improving this and changing or adding new algos to do it better. especially if we can make the community itself profit from securing the network through POS or similar additional algos instead of those with big machines and no interest in TiPS. somehow I think the community is still devided on that, I got mostly support for the POS idea first but I think the devs had a different view, so we need to really decide on this and then have this topic behind us!
I can keep mine going for 5USD a month. Anyone can actually do it. I still own chainexplorer.info but am not using it so I can donate that as well.

If someone steps up here's what they need:

  • A 5USD vps from Ramnode, DigitalOcean, etc
  • 10 minutes of instructions from me
211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN][MGT] Magnetz - Blockchain Torrents - Piratebay Replacer. (ICO, x13) on: December 24, 2014, 06:49:34 AM
So you want 55BTC to develop the main selling point of the coin without a solid proof of concept.

What you have right now is an x13+ocminer codebase which is 0.5BTC total and an OP from a Newbie account.

You are in the process of getting a POD from CryptoAsian which holds no real value as scams have happened even with POD, most notably Equinox which was for a similar ICO amount.

There have been too many ICO and IPO scams in the past few months for 1000s of BTC. I believe the responsibility for proving you are not about to scam us lies on your shoulders.

As such, please provide an explanation for your current and future investors as to why you believe they should trust you with their money.

First of all I wanna thank you for reposting this with a less aggressive tone.
The team is aware of the recent ICO scams and getting PoD certificate from CryptoAsian is just the first step to assure the community Magnetz is here to stay, Magnetz will deliver a wallet with torrents tab at launch and a torrent search engine less than 2 weeks after, the team will start adding torrents to the blockchain just 1-2 weeks after the blockchain is moving, we don't want to gain the community trust with PoD's, we'd rather gain it with our actions and constant tech deliveries.
Please read our roadmap for more info and follow us on twitter.
Okay let's update this with info from your posts so far:

    What you have:

    • x13 codebase with torrent code that ocminer says should work. Can't test because the blockchain isn't running.
    • A tab in the wallet named "torrents" which won't have torrents till you start development 2 weeks after the ICO.
    • A presentation video showing us what the coin will do and a very basic how. No proof of concept. (360p is terrible)


      What you don't have but have promised for 55BTC:

      • The main features of the coin which include the actual magnet url functionality. ETA unknown, preliminary tests start in Jan.
      • A searchable block explorer for the various magnet links. Beta ETA mid Jan


        Information regarding the coin and you:

        • Newbie account with a self-moderated thread.
        • Multiple senior members have posted in this thread doubting this coin and/or its functionality. Including, but not limited to, franckuestein, billotronic, nanoprobe, yourstruly (not me), and yours truly (me). ocminer has said the code looks good but is leaning towards you providing a proof of concept.
        • You are running if not related to NooCoin which was an ICO for 250BTC (122BTC actual). You are yet to provide a source or wallet for that coin as well. Newbie account, self-moderated with some doubt/FUD going around.
        • Another coin called torrentcoin offered the same functionality months back (thanks provenceday) thread and source


        This is what I have found/inferred from the past few pages. Let me know if anything is wrong and I will edit it.

        THIS. TECH. ALREADY EXISTS.

        google on DHT along with your favorite torrent client. People get pissed on again because they dont know their tech... sigh

        I think the difference here is that it is stored in the blockchain rather than on some servers

        There is no difference. You share torrents via p2p, just as you share a blockchain via p2p.

        There is a big difference. We were gonna release this in a few hours but we figure it might clear some of the confusion.

        What is Magnetz?: http://youtu.be/j7doWRSG834

        Sorry no. There is not difference what so ever. Google DHT, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainline_DHT

        I know that you know, and i appreciate your effort even still.

        In my understanding:

        The Magnet Link is a clickable Text-Link, for example something like: magnet://ajhdauhaofhfhsdjfhskdjfhwohr0w9iefohjdnowiefoiewf

        If the site where the link is stored is down, you cannot click it ...

        The Blockchain is a copy on every users PC using the wallet... So its quite hard to get it down.. The Wallet retrieves the magnet links from the blockchain..

        Again no.. read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainline_DHT

        I did that and this is exactly what it says, mate Smiley


        EDIT: Read on here:

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme

        You have no idea what you are talking about. Click a magnet link? You dont have to click anything. It contains data that a torrent client can parse. The data can be downloaded via DHT by any torrent client today, fully p2p, fully decentralized. Searchable.

        Hmm, i must admit i never used torrents for more than downloading a Linux distro or some big files which had no decent public mirror but interesting that every client should be able to search in an Index of every torrent available. I will have a Look for Sure..

        What about "private" torrents? Sometimes you maybe dont want to share them with every other client...
        How does that change when it is on the blockchain? Private trackers restrict DHT and local peers because they want to keep the content exclusive. No other reason.

        Hi,

        I need your help regarding this post:

        Does MoonCoin have the same backdoor as TIPS to steal wallets even with the private key ?

        I was reading a document and you can "apparently" clone other peoples wallets and even though there is a private key you can still gain access to it by making a mould....

        Maybe that is what happened.

        We have stolen mooncoins from 4 different wallets and are investigating in every direction. Perhaps you could explain if the post above is true and tips had the mentioned issue. If yes, what was the problem and how did the TIPS developers solve it?

        Thanks a lot for any help and best regards,
        peme
        We have never had any reports of coins stolen in this way but I will need proper details before I can give you anything solid. What do you mean by mould?

        I don't know, the user Nthused wrote that within the mooncoin thread and because I was not able to find anything about that within fedoracoin threats I just ask now.
        The mooncoin wallet hasn't been updated since months and the official compiled versions still use old SSH Version. Perhaps someone was able to use the SSH Heartbleed-Bug. But this is also just an assumption. The new mooncoin wallet with actual SSH is ready for release but it is important to know if there is perhaps something else that has to be fixed.



        Nope, not possible. Even if it was an RPC issue I have told users to use their own usernames and passwords. I still do not understand what you mean by "mould" though.

        I read it on the old TIPS dev invisibles post here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=193414;sa=showPosts
        Ah nice find.

        Code:
        - Attacker can execute code on the same machine as the target (eg. attacker owns a VPS on the same machine as the targets VPS)

        That makes me believe it is a non-issue. But if we want to be sure we would have to merge the upstream code from Litecoin if they fixed it.
