I still haven't had much luck in setting up a throne, I can't quite pinpoint why this is the case. I'm using ubuntu 16.10 and following the guide exactly. when I type throne list in debug console it shows up as enabled. However, when I type ./crown-cli getinfo in putty, it shows a 0 balance. looking through the block explorer it shows the throne has exactly 10000 crw associated with it.
If the throne is showing up in the list and crown-cli throne status shows the node is running just be patient, the rewards will come into your controller wallet with the 10000 coins in it. How long would this take? I waited hours then typed ./crown-cli getinfo and it still shows a 0 balance. It shows up initially in the list then disappears after a period of time, I can only assume because it boots the node because it doesn't see 10000 crw attributed to it. If your using the .10 guide from the OP, it tells you to set up hot and cold wallets. The hot wallet(VPS) never has coins in it, the cold wallet (windows) is where your coins are stored. Keep entering the start command. never spam the start command as that could result in getting your node banned, you should be running a hot/cold node setup. the hot node contains the 10000 coins for the throne, as well as a throne.conf with the information in it pointing toward your cold node. The throne private keys from both the hot and cold node MUST match or your start command will not start your cold node. When you start your cold node with throne=1 throneaddr=IP:9340 throneprivkey= and type "crown-cli throne status" you should see that the node is waiting for remote activation. On your hot node setup your throne.conf using the example in that file. wait for the 15 confirmations to start your throne. then restart your hot node. and send the command to start your cold node. when you use the throne.conf with a QT based wallet you should see a throne manager tab, which will give you access to all of the nodes in the throne.conf I've folowed these guidelines without success. The cold node cannot communicste with the hot node. it initially shows as enabled then becomes missing before accepting payment as the hot node shows a 0 balance. Private keys are identical. Maybe the hot node's conf file is in the wrong spot? I've tried sething it up a dozen times now What time zone are you in? Let's set a time to chat (Skype, alack etc) to get this solved. |

the wallet synchronous take very long time!
maybe, support zip file for history blocks more kindly for user!
Can you help us by stating which wallet and how long it takes? Thanks |

If anybody would like to read our series of paper, Urban_Idler has put them on Amazon for Kindle download. We wanted to list them for free but unfortunately Amazon sets a minimum price of £1. Still, if you're like me and hate paper...  |

I just updated my wallets and started my nodes hosted at Node-VPS. All went fine and exactly as it should. (Thank you CHAOSiTEC for the service and support!)  Love the Throne tab in the wallet, makes it MUCH easier for anyone to manage their nodes. Also the 10k vins connected to Thrones seem to be auto-locked now, which is another step forward for throne/reward management.  A new wallet, new website, new papers, new mobile apps, constant improvements, etc. All in all a big step forward for CROWN! Here's a screen grab of the throne tab. Please note that it only appears in the wallet if you have Thrones listed in your Throne.conf  |

What would be required and how long would it take for an independent Spreadcoin development effort to be able to match (at least) most of those statements?
I have just seen a project with a small team do a Bitcoin core update, implement some Dash features, drop in a few other features such as sha256 merge mining and speed on down the road of independent development in less than six months. With a handful of people with the right skills and motivation, nothing would stop SPR from doing the same. |

I think the fork idea has promise.
Having said that that, some of us came to the same conclusions as you and decided that a newer core version was desirable but didn't have the stomach for the histrionics that comes with the Spreadcoin territory. We decided to take our plans to another project instead.
I have been contacted by a few people lately asking about the feasibility of a rival fork to SPR. It seems that other people have had the same thoughts.
From my perspective, I haven't got any time to be involved but I'd look on with pseudo academic interest.

Just as an afterhought:
I see no point in me posting on the other SPR thread now. I'm only there because I'm interested to see what is happening and I don't want to continue to be name called for FUD and Trolling. Its rather tiresome when I feel I'm asking perfectly constructive questions.

Crysx and gjhiggins making incisive posts as usual. Nice to see gjhiggins acknowledging Coins101's efforts too. His research has been tireless and I can't wait to see where his ideas end up.
I'm really sad to see georgem turning on even gjhiggins now. Less than a year ago georgem told me that gjhiggins was one of the few devs he would be happy to collaborate with and spoke with nothing other than respectful words. I have no idea what has changed.
From various sources I have picked up on a level of paranoia on georgem's part that previous SPR team members are attempting to undermine his project. It has even got to the point that there is hostility towards the projects that they are now involved with. The bottom line is that some people had enough, found themselves to be the target of hostility and insults after investing a lot of time and effort and decided they had enough and wanted to work in a more constructive environment. There is no rivalry or ill feeling. Indeed I believe several of the people in question have large SPR holdings and are still supportive of the project.
I agree with crysx that georgem is developing his ability to deliver whatever his vision is for SPR and could well deliver something amazing but to refuse to share that vision with the community and do things in isolation, indeed insisting on monthly payments to even see a preview wallet seems like a strange approach to me.
From my own point of view, the only thing I would like to understand is why georgem has recently turned on so many people who wished him well? It makes me wonder or worry that all is not well with him. I really hope that isn't the case.

About 12 months ago you said that you didn't have access to Mr Spread's code with the original masternode implementation. Have you found it now?
Are you just making stuff up now? BTW... How are the crowncoin whitepapers coming along? I heard you guys ran into a forking problem... ... you do sound a little bit more pissed than usual... Published last week. Me and Coins101 asked you if you would be aversed to us doing some testing with the old Mr Spread wallet to see if we could get a better understanding of how it worked and also find something for the community to engage with during a period where people were complaining about missed deadlines. We wanted to extend our knowledge a little and also take a little pressure off you (which you said at the time you were feeling). At the time, you said that you couldn't provide us with Mr Spread's code. Maybe I misunderstood something but I'm certainly not making stuff up. |

Go ahead, why hasn't this been done yet? You can even base it on mr.spread's abandoned masternode implementation.

official Spreadcoin
Stop trolling the community. Spreadcoin is an open source project, in the context of which the term “official” is semantically vacuous. Cheers Graham Doesn't the code need to be shared to make it open source? It's not open source yet... |

Is the guide currently up to date with the correct folder names/file paths? Everything is fine until I get to adding "./autogen.sh && ./configure && sudo make install -j 2" and I get "./autogen.sh: 9: .autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found"
We've found that they work for ubuntu 14.04 but 16.04 and 16.10 they do not. One of the other guys should be able to chime in shortly. But there are bin's available at https://github.com/Crowndev/crowncoin/releasesBitchin, I'll give it another shot tomorrow. I was using the latest ubuntu. Here's the script that I use to compile on 16.10. It sets a non persistent page file. #!/bin/bash
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/swap/
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/cache/swap/myswap bs=1M count=2048
sudo mkswap /var/cache/swap/myswap
sudo swapon /var/cache/swap/myswap
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install git-all dh-autoreconf pkg-config build-essential libtool autotools-dev libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils libboost-all-dev -y
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev -y
mkdir -p src && cd src
git clone https://github.com/Crowndev/crowncoin.git -b master
cd crowncoin/
./autogen.sh && ./configure && sudo make install -j 2 |

I've just updated to the latest version (120061) and verified I'm on the correct chain. But when I try to do a "throne start", I get:
Not capable throne: Could not connect to 51.254.131.226:9340
I verified that I can actually telnet to this IP and port (besides I've not changed anything on the server except for updating the client). What is the issue here?
Is the throne.conf stored in the folder crown or crowncoin? I renamed ~/.crowncoin to ~/.crown. I don't have a throne.conf in it (except for the default), since I have the required output in the throne's wallet. At least that used to work fine with the old client - do I need one now after the update? alright now that i know that, are you trying to run the throne locally or remotely? and by locally i mean hot node. so the funds for the throne would stored on the throne instead of in a remote wallet. Yes, I'm trying to run a hot throne. (But I'm happy to change that, whatever is easiest.) I'm not 100% on this but I don't think throne.conf allows you to run a hot Throne. I'll do a test a bit later when I'm back in front of a computer. |

what are the hardware requirements for running a throne? CPU / RAM ?
At the moment, very small but this will increase in the future as we roll out the service layer. You can run a Throne on a single 800Mhz core with 500Mb Ram and 10GB storage if you have the patience of a saint however I would recommend a minimum of: 1Ghz single core, 1GB RAM and 10GB storage. You'll find that you need at least a 1GB swap file to compile although you can get rid of that once complete. Thanks for the tipp about the swap while compiling, as just in that moment my compile failed with "out of memory" error. Hardware requirements are reasonable and should not be a problem to set up a small Throne with this. I planned on running it on Quad-Core 1,8Ghz ARM with 2GB RAM. Storage is not a problem here. No problem. Set a 1GB swap file and you will be totally fine. Let me know how you get on. Compiling went smooth after setting 1GB of swap. Thanks a lot. But now I come to discover that the qt wallet is not included for ARM. Well I wanted to setup a small wallet box on a Pi running Ubuntu, thus qt wallet would be nice. Later on, a second box will go headless for the throne, which does not need qt then of course. QT is included for ARM but will only compile if you have installed the dependencies for QT. This should do the trick: sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler Optional but recommended: sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev Install those and recompile and you should find the QT has been built. In an hour or two  |

I trust that you'll be fair with your estimates A few of the other team members and I also did the same and incurred some losses along the way, It was a big learning experience for the whole team, so we're trying to make sure that nobody got hurt too badly while we were learning. Like I said, I really can't estimate what was lost. The hashing, I don't really see as a major loss (although it would have been nice to keep all that crw that was building up from almost solo mining CRW Saw stonehedge on there and we were pretty much competing for hashing at the start, so I can verify that they most likely suffered large losses as I believe they were trying to support the proper chain) If need be, I can dig up the list of their tx's/txid's. (I'm not overly concerned about my losses on the mining aspect, just the users of mergemining.com). The thrones, well, lets just say thats up in the air. 4 of them I can bring back today, the other 10 are hosted, and it doesn't sound like they are coming back anytime soon, since it sounds like the entire setup needs to be cancelled and re-setup. If anything, I guess I'd like to see stonehedge compensated as he was a major contributer of hashing yesterday. I'll just suck up my losses. I chucked 0.5BTC into the rescue efforts yesterday. I'm asking for 0.25 BTC worth of CRW from the dev fund in lieu of this. Its up to the team, no love lost if not appropriate. |

I do not like the merged mining thing. Only want to mine some CROWNs. Maybe a nice community member could set up a pool?
I don't get the anger towards merge mining .. You can mine 1 coin at your hashrate, or mine that one coin at your hashrate and include other coins... Seems frivolous to mine only one and throw extra funds out. Might sound a bit stupid but wasn't aware that merge mining works like this. I thought that hashrate would be divided through all the mined coins. Then I like merge mining much more. Alright, even if it takes 3 weeks, i'm fine with it. Thanks a lot. Will you put it here when it's ready?
Of course. I haven't set up a pool before so wish me luck. Good luck Not stupid, you just didn't realise. Why mine one coin when you can mine four or five for the same cost? Its why we have a network hashrate over 4PH sometimes. People mine Bitcoin & Crown |

Is there any working pool to mine CROWN ? iSpace Mining Pool stopped working today.
no. as you can see here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/crw/#!extraction , there is only one known pool: infernopool - but it's website is really bad, you do not get any information about CRW there.. I was mining CRW here yesterday with no problems https://mergemining.com/I do not like the merged mining thing. Only want to mine some CROWNs. Maybe a nice community member could set up a pool? I'm going to be setting up a CRW only pool but it won't be ready for about three weeks, too many other things I need to finish first. CRW might be added to Slush soon, our proposal there is doing very well. |
