So developers are at huge disadvantage compared to writers.
Developers are at extreme advantage over those who ARE Devcoin network = miners. No miners, no Devcoin. Behold - are we supposed to be satisfied with 10% of coins and thus continue to keep alive network from which you are taking 90% of coins and distribute them as you, or selected groups you like, wish? It reminds me of something ... let me find it for you: --snip-- This may sound harsh but if you are unable (due to lack of intelligence, wisdom, logic, etc) to understand how the system works, then dont even try to argue! |

Unfortunately there are lots of places in the code that should be using a constant that can be set in some header file where you plug in all the stuff that names which coin you are compiling it to be.
We changed pretty much only what obviously needed to be changed, the word bitcoin appears in variable names as well as in data the user gets to see, and with no idea of how the GUI really works I had to basiclly just guess in some places whether changing the word would help the GUI to keep the user aware it was a different coin or prevent the GUI from identifying correctly or working hand in hand with some internal name it might use to tell the operating system which coin type's GUI details it meant or to match it up with some g\variable all the different coins all use and all still use a name for which still contains the word bitcoin.
I expect somewhere the GUI code is getting confused between different coins' icon sets or something like that, or more than one coin type is telling the system tray the same name for which indicator on that tray to activate or de-activate.
If you start into trying to change every occurence of the word bitcoin you end up with a much harder to patch codebase since each coin type would change similrly (and comparing to some other coins is part of how I tried to check I had changed what needed to change), such as I have even seen a bitcoinrpc.cpp instead of rpc.cpp in some incarnations of the codebase even though it did not seem to be necessary that each coin have its own distinct coinnamerpc.cpp file really if constants differentiating coins were moved to some central plqce where they could all conveniently be changed.
There are new images/icons in the recent upload on sourceforge, sa mentioned in a previous post.

Well, everything seems to be working fine now, I think it may have been related to a java issue that I just corrected. devcoin dosnt use java  but well its winblows, everything can happen ^^ |

coinotron, litecoinpool, and notroll are all down.
burnside's pool is still up, though.
thats why u should use p2pool lmao p2pool's current hashrate is "0" according to http://allchains.info/I'm mining LTC on P2Pool and the pool itself is reporting "Pool rate: 25.8MH/s (13% stale) Share difficulty: 0.0482" while AllChains says "0.00000" for the hashrate. P2Pool/LTC is definitely up, and both Xurious and Pool-X are down, as of when this post hit. p2pool CANT (unless u DDoS ALL nodes) be down so u should even have to argue about it  Wasn't arguing about it, just letting everyone know that AllChains is reporting incorrectly in that case. If anyone could take P2Pool down they could just as easily fork a blockchain so it's a moot point anyway. wasnt talking about u, was a reference to c4n10 |

Pool wide DOA drop under 10%, looks like all troubles are gone. Upgrade  Shares: 27 (0 orphan, 0 dead) Stale rate: ~0.0% (0-66%) Efficiency: ~124.7% (42-125%) |

Did you already reup to that link Killer? I got time to test it out now.
no, il make an announce when its updated. |

We are under ddos too...  Will be online tomorrow, after setting up antiddos proxy shield. Most ppl dont know how to properly configure a server therefore its easy to DDoS (or even DoS) it.
... and how will you configure your server to prevent 18 Gbit/s UDP DDoS, if you have 1 Gbit/s link? You'll power it off? 1. rule: never have only 1 server 2. rule: contact ISP (takes only some minutes? but well, dunno how it is in other countrys) 3. rule: since u have now 2 (atleast) or more, setup loadbalancing or create a cluster... not going to continue more. |

Great, I switched branches and used the coin control dialog once without issue. It is slick, nice job. In case anyone else created transferred their savings to Armory in one massive transaction like I did, and now are bothered that their savings is all tainted (if you spend 1 BTC to someone, they can pretty easily see how much you have in your savings), here's the script I used. It asks how much you want to anonymize, and the min and max amount you would want in each address. It creates addresses in your selected wallet, uses blockchain.info's API to create an anonymous forwarding address, and selects a random amount between the min and max. It builds a transaction with as many outputs as needed to hit the total, and then saves it to a file. This can then be imported into Armory, inspected, signed, and broadcast. http://pastebin.com/XLT5FgdBCool script. I wasn't aware of blockchain.info's service. How does it work exactly? You give them an address you want the money to end up at, and they give you an address to which you can send coins and they will eventually be forwarded there? How long does it take? For anyone wondering, I just went through the script and it looks like a variant/mod of the extras/cli_sign_script.py that I added to the project recently. It uses the Armory libraries exactly as they are installed/compiled, to access your wallets, find your coins, get forwarding/anonymizer addresses from blockchain.info, and then constructs an unsigned transaction for it. I can't vouch for whether it works, but it very much looks like how I would've written it (but I didn't write it) So in talking with some users about the new wallet format, an idea came up: what about encrypting the watching-only wallets? And giving the option to encrypt even the public data in an encrypted wallet? Perhaps the wallet is on a laptop and the laptop gets stolen. The person can't get your $100k in BTC savings, but they now have your identity and know you have $100k in BTC savings... I'm thinking that it could be implemented by encrypting, basically all the fields of the wallet, the same way as the private keys are encrypted. When Armory opens, it will request the passphrase for the outer encryption, and give that key a lock-timeout of inf. So the wallet will be accessible as long as Armory is open, but if it is closed (rebooted), the wallet will be inaccessible. I'd prefer the outer encryption be a different key/passphrase than the one protecting the private keys, but I don't know if that would just be a P.I.T.A for the users (they can decide for themselves, I guess). Really what this does it makes sure your unencrypted wallet information is only ever stored in RAM... it's only ever written to disk encrypted. I think I like the idea, I just don't know how I want it implemented... perhaps a single password for all your wallets, rather than per-wallet? That way, if you have 10 different wallets, you won't have to type in 10 passwords everytime you start Armory... Glad you like the coin-control I'm quite happy with the way it turned out! K1773R: have you tried it yet? Does it satisfy your use case? Or are the other features you were looking for in "coin control"? No i didnt try it yet as i have no Testnet Coins (nor the blockchain atm). Altough from what i see this is exactly what i need Maybe you could implement something like "bitcoind listaddressgroupings" into the GUI? the original link ive send u (the thread) has something like this implemented, if this would be implemented it would be all someone/anyone can ask for! great work! |

I find it highly unlikely that there is one guy somewhere who has a monster LTC mining rig as well as a monstrous botnet that is so huge he is simultaneously successfully DDoS'ing the 4 largest LTC pools by himself.
5 BTC is enough to DDoS one website for 24 hours. 20 BTC == the 4 largest LTC pools down. Are weekends best time for botnet to work most efficiently? If the hackers have access to some institution/research facilities, I am sure weekend attacks work best. Most ppl dont know how to properly configure a server therefore its easy to DDoS (or even DoS) it. |

Ok, killer just to be safe, add those two files to your zip and I think it will work, I experienced the same issue when I did the install. One of the dlls I downloaded wasnt any good had to get another for libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll. Any way we could change the programs name from bitcoin to devcoin?
i will fix that so u dont need it! did i really forget to rename it from bitcoin to devcoind? that would be a shame ^^ EDIT: nvm i did rename it. EDIT2: uploaded newer bundle with static linked libsdtdc++ and libgcc When I run the program the taskbar still shows it named as bitcoin, and the ico for the file is a bitcoin, could you snatch the logo from devtome.com and put it into the program killer? Did too ah right, sry |

Probably, I think I asked killer to adjust that in the code, but I dunno if he updated it yet. I have not reinstalled it yet to test it. When I mouse over it in my taskbar it does say "bitcoin" I just checked but the logo is different from the new bitcoin logo, its the older gold coin that is yellower instead of the new orangish one.
no you didnt ask me, patch welcome il try to compile (and probably fix) the newer version ASAP. |

In case anyone else created their savings to Armory in one massive transaction like I did, and now are bothered that the entire amount is linked (if you spend 1 BTC to someone, they can trivially see how many coins you own), here's the script I used. It asks how much you want to anonymize, and the min and max amount you would want in each address.

I used blockchain.info for this because I trust them, they have an API, and they charge a (IMO) reasonable 1.5 % fee. http://pastebin.com/XLT5FgdBwho created this? |

any interest in visiting Abe with TOR, eg .onion domain? im setting up a multi altcoin Abe and im looking forward what ppl need |

Actually it turned out that Xnova is horribly broken, it does not even hve working combat for example.
So it would be 2moons I'd be botting instead. But yes, libcurl seems to be the way to go with that.
Hopefully we can start financing development, so we can consider fixing Xnova's combat or, probably more useful, making a 'port routine to 'port Xnova data over to 2moons; and to have a minimal-reply mode made for 2moons intended for bots to use so they get the info they need without wasting bandwidth on all the extraneous crap that gets thrown at humans. An "API mode" kind of thing I guess maybe, or iof not start just with a be brief flag all the display routines will honour by trying to limit themselves to just giving the raw facts.
-MarkM-
for packet bots the Windows Scriptlanguage "AutoIt" is perfect for such stuff, it even runs under wine without problems well its not fast but it suits for this. |

It is probably best for web games to have a mode that does not waste bandwidth on crap the bots have no use for; a mode that just answers some simple query from the bot with some direct answer without wasting bandwidth on images and ads and so on that the bot has no use for nd that no human is going to see due to no human is at the computer at the time. My frien'ds T.K.C. game, http://trollkeep.com/ , takes that approach. -MarkM- then you should really create a packet based bot. |

Any botters around, maybe with source code of bots for various popular venues? I have not really looked yet at how to bot web-based things such as via greasemonkey browser-plugins or whatever. First I built eggdrop-based IRC bots, now I am working on a bot for the Crossciv "Freeciv Galactic Milieu" Crossfire-RPG server. (It is online in game as the character known as "Trader".) It occurs to me that it ought not be hard to use shell scripts similar to those my eggdrop-based IRC bots call from tools such as MUD-clients so as to be able to bring Bitcoin capabilities into pretty much any MUD / MOO etc type of environment / app / game, and that might interest me to do if player population actually picked up at kingdoms.se MUD which is the only one I ever really stuck with. Can anyone recommend good scriptable-bot free source code available for scripting web based games? -MarkM- -- See sample web based game at http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/Some years back i developed in the section of Bots and AI's (no frameworks/similiar). I even developed some web based bots, there are 2 ways to implement it: write software that manipulates the browser write software that interacts directly with the game (http/https/etc based). At the beginning manipulating the browser was the easiest way to do it, later i did only program the later kind (so called packet bots). Just checked your "sample" game and i did develop some bots for xnova/similiar. |

I'm a little surprised as how their site shows tens of thousands of downloads, but the DHT network shows only ~750 retroshare nodes... anyone have a theory about why the number is so low compared to the downloads?
The new version has a DHT network and visible nodes? All we had/have was/is our neighbors, who are almost all almost always offline. Maybe with the ability to see 750 people you don't need to rely on your offline neighbors now? The thing has crappy anonymity anyway, if you connect to me, you can see who all my neighbors are, so for any of them to be able to post something without you knowing its a direct neighbor of mine posting they;d have to set up a cutout node between me and them, which most people are not likely to do, especially when there are better systems such as Tor and i2p that are better designed from the start. -MarkM- not even to talk about their bugs, just check out the bugtracker. i used it for some time and its annoying as shit: DHT = DoS with UDP packets, why broadcasting ur identity only once in DHT, no you have to do this constantly in a loop with unlimited bandwidth GPG = good idea but always using some malformed implementations (thats why i dont/cant use it anymore, according to the new GPG implementation my pubring is invalid ^^) im not going to tell more up to that point, if u want more informations, just ask. |

Once upon a time there was the biggest dumbass in the world named, Realsolid. He typed a bunch of bullshit into his computer. Compiled it. Released it. Then acquired shills to help troll this subforum to hell. Realsolid sucked ass at PR. Realsolid sucked ass as a coder. Realsolid touted his "great new payment system". Then Realsolid went silent. Then his shills started to ask when MicroRASH would be released. Realsolid begged his shills to give him 250 BTC to finish MicroRASH because he was unemployed and could not pay his bills for his wife and family. Realsolid was paid 250 BTC at least. Realsolid made promises to deliver. Which he has not. THE END  Note: sounds like every other scammer around here. Not able to deliver like a fat pussy. well at the end uve got PPCoin PPC > SC correct, but at the end he didnt create MicroCRASH, he developed PPCoin and guess what, it isnt that scammy like SC. i really like the idea of proof-of-stake, but well here its the same shady stuff again. |
