481  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [800,000 DVC remaining bounty] for Devcoin preliminary testing on: November 18, 2011, 10:29:16 AM
I am trying to get a devcoind running on my PC at home running ubuntu 11.04.

I compiled everything and the daemon is running and downloading blocks. Once it reaches block 11999 I get the error message (using getinfo):

Errors: WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade.

The version shows "32400".

Any ideas?

Hi g2x3k, just noticed it too, monitoring the log files I saw people having been referred to the exchange from pool-x.eu

Thanks for listing me.

Yes I am still tweaking the SSL installation. I have received an official SSL certificate (RapidSSL) and installed it, but my various redirects need to be adjusted. If you login directly via
https://vircurex.com   the error should not be happening.

Hi Caston,

I'm just looking around, the other exchanges trading TBX don't even have 1BTC volume per day and the hashing power is a mere 0.00059 GH/s (quite a bit of a risk for exchanges due to 51% attacks). Not sure whether TBX is going to last much longer if the hash rates keep on declining like this. But I'll keep an eye on it.

Regards
Kumala

Out of curiosity, what is everybody's take on the purpose and goals of devcoin? (Especially Unthinkingbit's opinion)

The way I see it it's a token currency to allow open source projects to trade resources and to pay people for contributions. When you start an open source project you have ideas that there will
be lots of people helping you just because you made it open source yet the reality is that many projects have just one or two developers doing most of the work. Devcoin allows people to help kickstart new or further develop existing projects and get some outside help.
Thanks for the response.  It seems to me that devcoin has a fatal flaw-- 90% of the benefits go directly to a select group of people (approved by whom?), thus ensuring it would never get adopted as a currency/means of barter by the greater population. Also, what is the motivation to mine it for the greater population?  Or perhaps I'm not understanding it correctly?

I believe the idea and concept in general is an excellent one, everyone nowerdays talks about supporting opensource, but how many people actually support those releasing opensource software? Here we have a means of supporting a broader range of people and projects without having to transfer funds "somehow" to each and everyone individually. You could argue that this can also be done via BTC or any other of the existing alt-chains, but the main difference here is, one can now support a larger group of projects with one purchase of DVC rather than having to transfer coins to several projects. Similar to the Red Cross, I guess, you entrust them with donations and expect them to manage it properly by funding individual cases. You want to support opensource, go buy a couple of DVC of the exchanges, keep them or throw them away, doesn't matter, with the purchase of DVC, you have most likely bought them of someone who received them as being part of the opensource community group that is supported by the DVC.

Is the 90% too high or too low? Time will tell, we need a starting point somewhere. My take is that the majority of the coins need to go to the Opensource commonity because they get supported by selling their coins to those who want to support the projects, and not the miners selling them. Yes of course most miners mine to make money or at least cover their operational costs, so obviously a fair share needs to go to them too. 

Most likely there will only be a few miners unless we get merged mining up and running and convince some pools to use it. That sounds easier than done, strangely some of the big pools are not even merge mining BTC/NMC yet.

The ultimate goal is to support the Opensource community, right? Most people dont want to go and mine to support, they'll probably just want to go buy some DVC to support the overall community and then possibly donate them to a specific project.

I'm getting the 3rd party SSL, ordered it last week, but it seems to take my provider ages to get process my purchase and install it. I hope it's all done by end of this week (I should have ordered it directly form the SSL provider rather than going through my hosting provider).

In regards to security, I made some comments on the post below, that sheds some light into the practices:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34586.120

Obviously we also have measures in place to address:
Session Fixation
Brute Force Account attacks
Session Hijacking
CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery)
Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
SQL, CSS, Ajax injection

We are taking the security issues very serious and constantly update our countermeasures but obviuosly we dont want to discuss them in every detail here in public.

I guess thats the fate of most alt-chains these days.

It still does.
493  Economy / Marketplace / Re: I want to buy some Litecoin on: November 09, 2011, 03:54:17 AM
use one of the exchanges. e.g. mine at www.vircurex.com

Und nun werden auch Geistgeld und Devcoins unterstuetzt.

The exchange just released the trading of geistgeld and de
vcoins.
496  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANNOUNCE] New alternate cryptocurrency - Geist Geld on: November 09, 2011, 02:29:16 AM
anyone?


The "Likely to be Geistnet?:" should be true. Try recompiling and using the default geist.conf without any changes, it should be OK.

Thanks. Got it working. I shoudnt have changed it conf file too much.

They arrived, many thanks.

Hi Unthinkingbit,

1. If you enter the wrong passwort more than 3 times, a Captch shows up (for the next 5 minutes) that you require to enter in order to proceed with the login.
2. On the OS level I use fail2ban to capture attempts to crack the SSH username and password
3. Backup policy: the wallets get backuped up daily, the appplication database gets backed up every 10 minutes (currently full database backup due to its "small' size).
Further backup enhancements are planned: every order execution, withdrawal or deposit will be emailed to an admin account, this will then also allow a recovery with 0 data loss.

I'll send you the code snipplets and an extract from the backup script via PM,

7 generation shares, my DVC address: 1FCJgGYirQ4w2uA3rcE2zwVnD8LVwm8fbB

Thanks
Kumala

Use bcrypt. Here's an open source PHP implementation.


I'll probably pursue the loop I was mentioning above. Though I found a library that offers bcrypt for the framework I use, but I am trying to keep the source of my Exchange as lean as possible with as few dependency as possible. Every additional library and external code is ultimately a risk in the sense of potential additional vulnerabilities, version dependency (who knows if it will be maintained in the future, etc.).

Lets see, need to wrap up some other features I am currently implementing and testing. Another Chain, will probably also mean an upgrade of memory of the servers.
