I propose a solution to the distribution problem: Payment.
Feel free to take shits all over this, I am sure it could be improved and modified but maybe something like this could work....
Would that not only work if the payment amount was more to gain then doing a runner would be? |

Guess I could make a cron job that builds and releases a new chain each day.

note that with john doing escrow, there's an additional 2% of the total fee. so, assuming we order exactly 300 and each have a .05 shipping and handling, that's 2.0808 per unit, for a total of 624.24.
I think I am missing the point of the escrow in this case. All it is insuring is that your pass the funds to asci miner as I understand it. It will not ensure that you actually then ship the miner on to us. If that is the case I would rather not pay 2% for something that really adds little protection. |

The current client can not handle spaces in the path, the next version should and hopefully it will be ready in a few weeks. You could try manually making a folder called 'receiver' in your .devcoin folder and copying all the receiver files into that. If that doesn't work, you could try putting the receiver files into the same folder which contains the devcoin executable.
Maybe the first post can be updated to point to the builds at https://www.box.com/s/1mqfk22gyqq97ytdmifi ? I think they do help with the bootstrapping issues many see. |

i still dont know how to do this can you help me ? is it adding to the ixcoin shortcut ?
i am getting this error when i put the command it appear error
the name 'C:\program files\ixcoin2\ixcoin.exe addnode=198.154.60.183` specified in the target box is notvalid make sure the path and the file name are correct.
please help !
You need a dash before the addnode C:\program files\ixcoin2\ixcoin.exe -addnode=198.154.60.183 But where are you putting this? can you type this at the command line. It should work from it. |

I have thought about it. Not sure it makes as much sense with competing currencies as it does in the environment he pictured it in. I do think a chain should not stop completely generation new coins, so it at least has some replacement of lost coins though.

You don't need to run windows. What you do need to do is either run a local daemon, and then point the miner to it, or use a pool and just mine like you would with litecoin. for a pool for example see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=192907.msg1999204#msg1999204If you want to run solo mine, you would need to run the daemon, and then follow those directions only look for the conf file in ~/.coinname/ instead (don't know off hand what the chncoin name is for the directory). Then point the minder to 127.0.0.1 and the port number you set in the config file and password and user name you set, as in the post linked to earlier. However, most mining rigs running off flash drives and such are not speced to also have to run the daemon, since they don't need to when using a pool. |

I may take a stab at this, but then the conditions on the bounty seem to make it far less interesting. I would have no control on if Vircurex reenables its support of the chain. So the bounties would have to be changes to just being for the technical end that I can control.

All right, so something like https://www.box.com/s/3smwokd1rt83andsfpshThis seem to work for people that don't have, or delete old versions on their computer and clean out the old data directory. So it should work great for new users. Not sure what to do about current ones yet. Thanks for this, works great with saved wallet from the earlier windows bundle. A few questions - why does it generate 2 additional addresses to my original one and does that matter? Do we still need to add the receiver files manually? And what is the 'random number' file for? Actually when you first run the client, it creates a number of addresses for you. I think it defaults to 100. When you receive a payment on the currently shown addresses, it will then show a new one. It also will use these addresses for change addresses which can be a source of confusion for people as well. So you have,unless you set a flag, had at least 100 addresses internally. What this also means is that you can not backup your wallet.dat file once and be done with it. You need to maintain fresh backups. You should not have to do anything with the receiver files manually. If you do it is an issue that should be fixed. That said, it does right now depends on github. If github is giving a 'I am being slow' page instead of the files, it will not bootstrap at that time, and will need to be closed and rerun later then github is more cooperative. Any other issue should be reported so it can be fixed. I did not look to closely at the random number file, but presumed that it was to prevent every client from requesting a receiver file at the same block change all at once and DDoS the sites that host the receiver files. |

I made an offline wallet (on an SD card), and it's being weird. I made it like 4 days ago and never put anything in it.
I tried opening it today and it said that it couldn't open, and I couldn't delete the file because it was in use.
Then I took out the SD card and put it back in, and tried again. It opened, but it froze. It's like loading, but forever and it's never going to finish. It's like when the internet is "not responding" I can't click anything, it's just not working.
There's no money there, but I'd like to put some there. And BTW this is the wallet from Jasinlee's thread.
Does anyone know what's wrong? Or of another offline wallet?
EDIT: NEVER MIND, it loaded, my computer is just a piece of shit. Attempting deposit now.
EDIT 2: During the deposit confirmation the wallet disappeared, I'm not sure if it was confirmed... But now I can't get it to open again, not even the frozen screen.... Maybe all this is my computer...
Can anyone help? Run CrystalDiskMark on your SD card and report the numbers, especially the 4k ones. |

I'm curious what people thought about my idea a few pages back: there should be a dedicated site with 1) a section devoted to explaining how the shares work, how valuable shares were in the past, and a section (updated daily) showing how many shares are slated to be distributed in the next round, and 2) a section listing all the bounties, a section where people can propose bounties and vote on the amount of shares each bounty is worth. I'd propose a bounty for such a site, but I would love to work on this, so I don't want to be too biased.  I would say devcoin.org would be the obvious site for a dedicated site. I think someone proposed a bounty for the design of it already. Perhaps though we should come up with the sites requirements first and part of that would be deciding that this should be part of that site. |

But presumably that is merely cosmetic, the array of IPs-as-integer should work with decimal integers too assuming that is actually what they are showing there. So, using their page on our four stable node IPs, I have arrived at unsigned int pnSeed[] =
{
3331996855, 3331996733, 1815951733, 84535656,
};
But... was your version backward deliberately? Does pnSeed actually need a bytewise-reversed version (different-endian, or something) ? Yes, as the bitcoin code is written to be unfortunately dependent on x86 byte order, instead of the network byte order and do conversions as needed. As for it being cosmetic, I don't know about you but I can convert each byte of the quad over and get the integer dotted quad form in my head using the hex notation, but just can't manage it with the integer one, so for debugging I find the hex a far better notation to use. Here I made a q&d tool for you to use if you dont like doing it in your head. #!/usr/bin/perl
# Twobits twobit integer dotted quad to reverse hex convertor
# designed for q&d use to put seeds into pnSeeds in *coins
my $ip;
if (@ARGV) {
$ip = shift @ARGV;
} else {
print "Enter an (dotted quad) ip address: ";
chomp( $ip = <STDIN> );
}
printf "0x%08x\n", unpack 'N', pack 'C4', reverse split '\.', $ip;

Does the wiki have plugins for other markups? I for one would like to see markdown supported. |

FWIW, my Chrome (OSX 10.  didn't flag it, nor did my Sophos Antivirus. Cheers for finally having a DVC wallet I don't need to use the terminal to access. Now if we could get one for NMC...*dreaming* THANKS AGAIN!  Actully I did one for NMC awhile ago, I suppose I could bring that up to date aswell. |

I want it to be packaged in an idiot proof windows installer - and with the same modern skin as all the other crypto coins. e.g Litecoin, Feathercoin, Freicoin, PPCoin, pretty much any coin except Devcoin!
Also, the client should actually say Devcoin - not Bitcoin - on the gui.
There is already a bounty for this and I really, really think this is very necessary for Devcoin to grow it's user base.
All right, so something like https://www.box.com/s/3smwokd1rt83andsfpshThis seem to work for people that don't have, or delete old versions on their computer and clean out the old data directory. So it should work great for new users. Not sure what to do about current ones yet. Did you just whip that up? Pretty nifty - except my antivirus recommended I discard the package as containing a virus  Any chance of fixing this? I'm excited for Devcoin windows installer! I know it was the case that a lot of antivirus programs will detect mining software as some virus's had a miner as the payload. Maybe it could be fixed by stripping out the mining code, other then that I have no ideas off hand. |

The new net.cpp has our four deisgnated backbone node IPs?
I responded to you on irc as this seems like stuff few others would care about. I am thinking of asking deoublec if it is okay to plug the IP of his devcoin node in as the fifth core node. It maybe gets enough load on it already just being used for his merged mining pool though so he might prefer not.
doublec did post his node, but as a name, not an address. So to me the only question would be if he expect to be able to move it and just change the name or if he will try and keep it at the same IP. |
