Ummmm WTF ? Why so many hits instead of just the usual 2 from the built-in bitcoin miner if this is just a direct clone of Litecoin....

Do you think it's some kind of malware? I scanned it using virustotal before I initially ran it and it seemed to be fine.

Yes I do in fact, did you scan the .rar file or the actual .exe ? Or are you just trusting what the dev posted with his virus check ?

The above scan is from the actual 9000coin.exe file...

These are the worrying ones, if you google what they are I would be deleting the wallet & roaming data & doing a full system + rootkit scan.

its a fucking crypted trojan im sure.

I also just done a VirusTotal scan just out of curiosity & I would reccomend to stay far away from this !

With that many warnings and files named like those I would be running ! keyloggers, remote accesss, automatic background downloads of more malware & viruses..... NO THANKS !

Wow.

Artemis is the "Active Protection" component of McAfee's Security Center which uses a combination of signature and behavior analysis to check with McAfee servers in real-time to identify possible new malware threats. Artemis is not the name of an actual virus, but an alert displayed by McAfee when it thinks it may have found a new virus. These detected files may or may not be malicious.

Its heuristics guys; settle down christ. People like you are ruining Cryptocurrency. People entering without much in the way of computer skills are scaring off the newcomers en masse.

You know that there are runtime and scantime fully undetectable trojans. They crypt the trojans with specific tools. At first we had only 2 detections . Now we have more with same file. So that means the anti virus scan tools got updated and maybe the wallet.exe is dangerous !

Sure do. Theres two with 'Artemis' as I described above, two with UnwantedProgram/Nuisance program qualifying as BitcoinMiner-style detection, two with BitcoinMiner and an unknown, which lo and behold is more than likely using a BitcoinMiner signature. I'm guessing this program is related to Bitcoin somehow  Roll Eyes

If I were to write a trojan or something that stole private keys; just a bit of C, threw it in the wallet and compiled today - it would not show up as a virus/malware. Antivirus companies lag behind the real world, as they need people to submit examples of viruses before they can agree on a common 'signature' which is then used to detect code in future.

Now stfu and stop scaremongering.

I rented a VPS linux ubuntu 14.04-64bit how to compile source codes?

I want to make a pool for all of you.

This would be great, thanks dude  Cheesy

Try to install Webmin on you server and CSF
With webmin you can easily setup the cronjobs needed for MPOS and CSF is a great firewall with a module for webmin.

Web min installation guide for Debian & Ubuntu
http://www.webmin.com/deb.html

CSF Script install (Needs to be done as root!)
http://download.configserver.com/csf/install.txt

I don't understand why people keep using MPOS unless the coin doesn't support batch RPC calls (JSON2.0), its rubbish.

Use NOMP (instructions debian 8.4 x64):
apt-get install -y redis-server curl git screen
/etc/init.d/redis-server start
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.10 | bash -
apt-get install nodejs
git clone https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal.git nomp
setup config.json
setup pool_config/coin.json (use litecoin_example.json)
setup coins/coin.json (check examples)
screen nodejs init.js

On a lighter note, anyone want one full 9000Coin?  Roll Eyes

I'd love to have one haha, my CPU stopped giving me the rewards.
and you said rubbish, british detected  Grin

No british here; just regular Australian convict, although I guess you could say all the brits are criminals haha.. once i'm home i'll have a look. Theres no reason this coin couldnt be listed on somewhere like Cryptopia.. reminds me of 66coin for some reason Smiley

This is a joke right?

from the OP  ---   "It is basically just an experiment"

Have some fun man, atleast its not a coin promising a buncha shit ;p

Cant spend money mining it. I don't have money to burn but good luck with the experiment.


We are just CPU mining this coin until someone with real power comes and ruins the party, come over!

I didnt know. I will set it up before bed and see where I am in the morning but 0.1 blocks are so small its going to be funny to see the rewards coming in.
Cheesy

No worries, you better hurry up before someone starts GPU mining!

cool. might throw my 7.5mh zeus and 8x 5.4mh gridseed blades at it once i'm home.

RIP my CPU. it was nice trying this atleast  Tongue

all good guys, was more a joke.. not going to spoil anyone learning/having fun  Cheesy

How much money did you guys get from the ico and where is it going to be spent?

What ICO?  Cheesy
You know this coin/chain was started early 2014 right?

From the OP.

Quote
We will host a mini-IPO for 5% of the total X11 PoW coins. The proceeds of the IPO will be used to finance the coin development, website/servers, marketing/promotions and maintenance and enhancements of the coin.

Sure. I do see that now.
You do know Griffith was basically handed the reigns from the original developers who disappeared with that money?

What I don't understand is why 2 years and 2 months after the fact, you're asking where the ICO funds went? Were you around then? Have you contributed to the continued development of SuperCoin?

Just sounds like you're a shit-stirrer is all.

If you hang around, you're about to see a brand new chain with a much smaller disk footprint, transactional-load based block mining, which can receive funds from several other existing currency wallets (with no modification) and true anonymity with sends.

Look forward to seeing your contributions; both donations and your input.

I for myself have decided to donate these step by step for charity.


A noble gesture - please post a list of the charities you will be donating the 50%+ premine to.

Guys.. to be honest, if any of the premine is missing or quote 'dumped' - its what PatrickMacH kindly sent my way for porting getblocktemplate over, bit of housework on the code, hosted custom pool with code that i wrote solely for SixEleven. If you'd like to question any large sends; i'll confirm my own addresses to/from exchange.. he doesnt deserve suspicion guys, hes an honest dev.. and hes been quite patient with me haha

unless you've a couple million dollars behind you; or a fat stack of 16nm chips ready to solder to a chinese cloned PCB - i'd probably advise against wasting your time. the mining paradigm has evolved from companies releasing machines to home users, then exclusively large mining outfits; to then hoarding their own equipment for their own exclusive use (knc, bitfury, anyone remember the bitcoin brothers?)..

if the end goal is still mining for profit; set up a pool and rent some hashrate at an agreed price, and hope you beat the cut. this will be your most successful option; as the only people making money are the ones who either stole the equipment they use, are not paying for power or have a large amount of space at their disposal (not to mention those who mine selfishly.. f2pool/btcc/antpool).

get some interested candidates to throw some btc at a reasonable amount of hashrate; then split it accordingly. this is still more than possible and worthwhile
492  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Do i need a good computer to mine with ASIC? on: June 30, 2016, 09:12:39 PM
you'll get a better profit margin with a more powerful processor, try hanging it off a x64 linux box which has its usb controller hanging off its PCI bus. the arm architecture still suffers from poor i/o due to its reduced instruction set; meaning that it executes more commands per cycle meaning it can't respond to interrupt requests as quickly.

im not sure that DuddlyDoRight knows what they are talking about; the system processor itself is not mining.
493  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: SUPERCOIN'S REVIVAL on: June 25, 2016, 11:49:18 AM
hey guys,

sorry i havent replied to this for a while; but i thought itd simply be easier coming back with some positive news instead of potentially disappointing you.

i am at the final stages of confirming whether the upcoming changes will work seamlessly. i've got code in alpha stage, aiming to implement a working cross-chain mechanism, where will involve a brand new blockchain. this means a much smaller blockchain that doesnt grow as quickly as the existing supercoin chain, quicker to sync, as well as being able to send SUPER directly to the NEW CHAIN with no modifications required to the existing client.

the biggest surprise?
since i've attempted to keep the sending function as compatible with SUPER as possible; adding other currencies is simply trivial. this also includes making sure that once sent to the new chain, devious types cannot 'respend' their sent currencies with their original wallet.

another interesting feature i've been playing with is the 'transactional load' based miner. as we've all seen with bitcoin's empty profit-based blocks (mainly f2pool/antpool), why does the chain need to move and consume diskspace if theres no one staking/no transactions?

i hope this news is exciting for some as i've had fun (and some frustration) writing it.

donations are welcome; any who donate a significant amount will have their name listed on the splash/about screen (make sure you PM me after sending and let me know which txid is yours)

You are welcome.
MOON has no single dev, completely decentralized development.
Now an idea is to have several compilations made by independent persons.

You are welcome to make your own Github and copy a code with these contributions and to compile wallets and post here.
But: you need to provide some transparency, at least your website in a Mooncoin wallet's Help section when you compile a wallet.
Please PM if you are interested.

as long as the coin 'rules' arent touched by devs; this sounds like a good idea.

Up to date wallet would be awesome sir. then make the new ann and start from there. this is looking great for mooncoin!

its already out?
https://github.com/mooncoin-project/mooncoin-landann

works well

Yes, this code is great and official,
the problem for common users though that it has outdated seeds of mooncoin.info
and people need to add nodes manually to get a wallet synched.
Also people voted earlier to leave an original logo.
There is no official compilation of mooncoin-landann.
The previous version compiled by an original dev (who has not been seen since 2014)
is severely outdated and people ask for another wallet,
and compiled by an independent person.

That's why we have contacted walletbuilders.com https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=470761

they updated a code (all contributions are transparent and can be seen at https://github.com/walletbuilders/Mooncoin )
Mooncoin 1.875.1 compiled from Mooncoin 1.871.1.0 minkiz.co https://github.com/mooncoin-project/mooncoin-landann

for the moment guys, we've got some pretty insane/crazy ideas coming up for SUPER (amongst other things), all doable.. just needs a bit of patience.. no hints..
500  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: SUPERCOIN'S REVIVAL on: June 10, 2016, 12:16:07 PM
was considering doing a coin swap to eliminate some of these issues... thoughts? possibly to merge a coin or two.


edit: i have a mobile wallet for any bitcoin clone crypto just about done right now

edit edit:

Neat idea would be to run Supercoin through a block explorer and log all balances (besides dust), nullify the chain by changing pchMessage bytes, change block value for block 1 to a suitable amount which could encompass total values of addresses that we've logged, relaunch chain and then distribute on block 2.

Other variables could be changed to reflect current state of coin including block reward etc.

This way everyone can just dump their existing addresses via dumpprivkey; move to new wallet, reimport the keys and everything should be (relatively) as it was. Except the wallet isn't chugging through 2,000,000 blocks to sync; or verify when a new key is added.

About 4 hours work.
Note - I do not hold any SUPER; someone has approached me asking how this coin could be made 'SUPER' again.

barrystyle

i have been working on a chain that keeps the current one that just holds less variables inside the blockindex class and will calculate the rest when it needs them and it uses about half the ram.

with your suggestion, if im understanding your correctly, would be to launch a new chain with people logging the value of their current wallets (via BE) and then having it resend out the coins to the same addresses (amount) then using the BE to redistribute the coins. but now the chain is different, reset, and smaller. effectively doing the same thing a coin swap would do but automatically?


yep, essentially culling the previous 3.8 mil blocks yet all addresses holding the correct amounts.

another potential thought would be the reliance on leveldb itself; LMDB looks to be a good replacement with a tiny footprint.. however this would be a reasonable body of work.

compression is a neat idea however compaction/expansion will require just as much ram (if not more) per load cycle and would be even slower during client bootup.

there isn't going to be a silver bullet with a 20 second PoS time; perhaps spacing this to a 60 or 90s would resolve the amount the chain grows (fastcoin/infinitecoin suffers from this too).

i know its possible to condense blocks so you dont have to load them all into memory to store them. i did a LOT of testing with it, my conclusion was that you need to have the chain do it from the start rather than implement it later because of the way it loads transactions and looks up blocks using the index. i know that you also need to use a different data structure other than a std::map because even if you delete elements from a map the size doesnt shrink. essentially a custom class would be needed (i have one prototyped) that would be the new way to store the chain. its based on the idea of using a vector as a map, with individual look up functions, while still being able to shrink its size (BTW there are a lot of map.find function calls, which is not something you can do with a vector. map find is O log N while going through each element in a vector to find something is O N. so this isnt feasible, it takes the wallet over 3 hours to load doing it this way) so just replacing the map with a vector cant be done.

id rather find a solution that just restart the chain every year because that doesnt really solve any of the problems.

why not use my automated chainswap technique with 60 second pos blocks?
this would mean that instead of roughly 0.85gb chain growth per year, it will be 0.28gb per year.

meaning that you'd reach where we are now after 6 years.

the way i see it now, both of our solutions require a new chain; why wait?
