I'll PM fairglu.
Done. CC'd to bitcreditscc and dragos_bdi

Dev, is the BTC address in your sig/OP OK to send to? BCT user fairglu runs chainz, I think all he needs is the location of the git repo to compile from.
|
|
|
|
I'm pledging .1 BTC to help get a block explorer at Chainz.
I think we need .5 BTC total. Can anyone else contribute?
+0.1 +0.1 also. |

Does anyone know what version of wallet we should be using and what nodes that wallet should be on?
Following the instructions here if you are on linux... http://bitcredit.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_Compile_Bitcredit...will get you v0.30.16.5-46b577d-dirty which works but I don't think the devs own nodes are up right now so I have these in my bitcredit.conf: addnode=91.230.123.11:8877 addnode=91.230.123.101:9999 addnode=91.13.108.10:8877 addnode=75.71.165.126:8877 addnode=217.244.9.99:8877 addnode=91.230.123.101:8877 addnode=71.225.205.181:8877 addnode=5.83.18.254:8877 ... 5 of which I am currently connected to. If you are on win and need a binary I have no clue, sorry, beyond the one linked in the OP. |

Looks like Bittrex synced up to 87035 before taking their wallet down. Still have 20% of my BN stuck there.  |

213.120.39.82:43622 is not connected to 91.230.123.101
What you have in peers tab ?
Edit: you're connected to :9999 but not to 8877
add to nodes also 91.230.123.11:8877
Added 91.230.123.11:8877 and I can see it in Debug window > Peers, but but still not syncing past 85774. Might try deleting the lot and syncing from scratch again. 75.71.165.126:8877 217.244.9.99:8877 91.230.123.101:8877 71.225.205.181:8877 5.83.18.254:877 and I am connected to the network it seems. Thank you!  Fully synced up. |

But... thats for Android !  Yes, I realised that about 5 secs after hitting Post. Forgot it was native ubuntu and not a chroot env. |

Yeah, I just bought one  Grab them while you can, stock is very limited and they take "ages" to re-stock. They don't announce availability, so its a permanent flash sale. In theory you can buy any of the others (or other brands) and flash ubuntu onto it, but its not straight forward at all from what I gathered. This one is the first and only official one so far. Asked them if they'd be released any of the higher spec'ed ones, and they said no, not for now. But of course, that can change at any second. Are you sure you can even get a terminal on that thing? I wish Canonical would stop messing about with useless newfangled UI rubbish. I managed to compile darkcoind on my old Galaxy S2 a few months back in an ubuntu server chroot, it took about 3 days... no use as a MN though without a static IP. From what I know its Ubuntu Unity desktop with a phone touch overlay  It’s designed as a mobile (or portable) operating system for smartphones and tablets, although with a caveat that I’ll write about a little later. For our readers unfamiliar with Ubuntu, this is a full blown operating system running over a LINUX kernel. It will run over an Android kernel, which makes it an interesting diversion from Google’s operating system. Now, the caveat that I wrote about is that the Ubuntu Phone operating system uses the same core technologies as Ubuntu Desktop. This means that if an Ubuntu Touch device has the necessary desktop components installed, plugging it into an external monitor gives the user a full desktop experience. http://www.androidheadlines.com/2015/02/install-ubuntu-phone-os-onto-bq-aquaris-e4-5-smartphone.htmlYou're good to go then, but I highly recommend something like this if you can find a similar app for ubuntu mobile, if you don't have a decent bluetooth KB: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard&hl=en_GB - it will save you hours of frustration. |

DEV could you please make contacting Bittrex a priority? Their wallet is still stuck on block 85002 so nobody can withdraw anything. At least stick a running wallet on whatever IP(s) their wallet is expecting to find a working node at? dragod_bdi's nodes also seem stuck, I'm currently 16hrs behind @ 85774. Basic things like this should be sorted out IMHO before working on the fancy stuff. |

CRAVE DEV = DASH DEV = WOC DEV?
It seems that DASH DEV didn't earn enough money and start making coins and implement their Darknet into CRAVE and WOC.
Have you only just figured this out? What's hilarious is that the target dump price is right there in the code for anyone who cares to look. ?.cpp: #define GET_VAL( val, type )
{
ASSERT( ( pIP + sizeof(type) ) <= pMethodEnd );
val = ( *((type *&)(pIP))++ ); // 0.008 LOL - E.D. ;)
}

I received an email from Ryan Hentz at Bittrex saying he'll pass on dragos_bdi's nodes to the appropriate person. I would suggest that bitcreditscc (whom I will henceforth refer to as 'Dev' as it's shorter and I'm lazy) have a word with them as well. I can't be the only person affected by the exchange wallet being frozen... As soon as I can withdraw there will be another BN on a reliable VPS to act as a seednode, plus I'll chuck some daemons on my DRK MNs too if I can. Good to have you back Dev! |

Anyone mentioning "Crave" in the same breath as Dash is doing a disservice to Dash.
Crave is NOT a copycat of Dash; it is a Proof of Stake coin.
Proof of Stake and other non-mineable coins like Crave, Shadow, Ripple, NXT, B*SharesX, etc. are ALL scams, by nature. What do I mean by scam? I mean there is nothing ensuring decentralization. Nothing you can trust. A coin with no mining is not even a coin or currency, in an economic sense. It is a non-trustable token of a "public" ledger; at any point it can be 51% attacked/coins stolen/manipulated (see the "nothing-at-stake" attack for technical specifics)
To basically understand why Proof of Stake coins are extremely risky investments, you should first delve into one of the fundamental ecomonic reasons of why real Proof of Work cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are valuable in the first place.
The value is in the public blockchain that is at once not-fakeable, completely trustable, and decentralized. The thing that ensures these properties is the Proof of Work, which comes from real (not-fakeable) value invested in mining it, i.e. computational power and electricity.
Bitcoin is attractive as an investment because it can be trusted, and that in itself gives it value. That is the only reason Bitcoin has a multi-billion dollar market cap. Smart investors will continue diversivy into real cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dash this because they are real and persistent commodities, like gold.
With a proof of stake coin, you must assume it is compromised. There is no way to ensure otherwise. A "blockchain," you say? An ostensibly public ledger with no mining behind it is not a blockchain in the true sense of Satoshi's invention. It is not a matter of if, but when someone decides to run away with the money (claiming hacks or whatever... there is no difference between a POS coin and GOX, mintpal, etc.). People are blindly trusting whoever is in control of the coin. That trolls constantly attemt to defame Dash as an instamine/centralized/scam coin speaks volumes to the fact that this is the only reality they actually know (the one where the developers and cohorts always hold all the cards (POS/ICO/2dayPOW/etc) and manipulate unsuspecting investors).
So back to Proof of Work. Let's use Dash as an example. Dash is a PoW coin with actual $ of hardware, electricity and effort put into the confirmation of the blockchain and creation of each coin. As explained above, people invest long term into such coins because they can trust that nobody is able control it and steal people's money. Add to that the masternode layer of 1000 coins that are trustable due to PoW, then you have real value (collateral) being put into the masternode network as incentive to provide services that give the individual coins themselves even more value due by increasing their fungibility, along with providing countless other services to keep the network healthy and efficent.
Now, say the PoW aspect of Dash did not exist, and the masternodes themselves would find blocks and be rewarded based solely on their 1000Dash collateral, plus the current affordable VPS specs required to maintain one. Now while it is true the VPS represents a modicum of real world value, you have now removed most of the coin's grounding in reality, or rather taken away the value of the coin which is agreed upon in non-crypto world (electricity, hardware power, effort, etc.). With this situation, you can no longer say that the collateral for the masternode network is trustable as value in the sense that you can for a another currency or commodity that is either widely trusted and government manipulated (fiat) or requires no trust (bitcoin).
What I'm getting at is that the only reason you can trust Dash masternodes is because there is PoW required to ensure the collateral is even worth anything. This whole "Crave" thing is an insult to Dash's truly two-tiered masternode+PoW system by comparison. While I feel sorry for anyone who gets suckered into buying that, SDC, XC, or any of the plethora of other POS coins, I also realize that most people don't take personal responsibility for their money and generally feel the need to entrust others with it, thus creating constant opportunities for scammers. It is a necessary step in the growing process when new freedoms are born.
LOL, Jo Public doesn't give a flying fuck about the amount of electricity you wasted manufacturing your digital currency or how mindbogglingly many CPU/GPU ops it takes you to process a pitiful handful of simple transactions per minute. PoW does not translate into coin value/price. At almost no point in the history of DRK has it been profitable to mine at the time. PoW centralised through pools is also next to useless as a security mechanism. Nobody who isn't a miner (that's 99.9999999999999999% of Planet Earth) gives a shit about PoW or PoS. PoW is a wasteful farce and should be replaced with pure PoS(ervice) - it's the services provided by MNs that provide worth to users, and actually decentralised blockchain security via MNs would be many orders of magnitude more secure. Utility brings value. Users are everything. Bollocks to your PoW.  |

I have contacted Bittrex and asked them to add a few nodes as provided by dragos_bdi, but I doubt they will pay any attention to me.
A node is just a daemon running on an accessible IP right? I'll see about sticking a few on some DRK masternodes, they are up permanently.

A forced custom change address that you can specify in dash.conf is a really great idea.* PM Evan about it and tell him it's A-OK with crouton. * For ease of use and disaster-prevention that is, for privacy it's a terrible idea, but many don't care and it's nice to have options. |

Hmm, just made a bittrex withdrawal and it's been showing on their site as completed for 12 blocks but hasn't showed up locally. Usually I get them almost instantly.
bittrex is syncing only with p2pool.website, and that is offline. So till the Dev doesn't power up ... will be no withdraw/deposits working https://bittrex.com/StatusBugger. I am trying to start a BN here.  |
