As Crysx has been on here a few times and is a friend of Pallas, am I correct in thinking that Cryptonite is a member of the CWI family of coins?

CWI's inhouse stratum now supports Cryptonite natively; implemented by myself a few months back and finished over the xmas/new years break. Once we've resolved a small issue regarding the actual server hosting, we're good to go.

For the moment I think Cryptonite belongs to the Pallas family of coin.

Not being a techie I have absolutely no idea what that means; care to explain??   Huh

As for good to go; go where?  What is being planned exactly?

Anyone got an answer to this please? 

there will be another pool for cryptonite in the near future.

ok. in home pc try to run this new miner. miner get many errors by 5 seconds and stratum baned me. I connect to my work pc in company. run new miner. some shares receive correctly, but after 1 minutes stratum banned this pc. I have 2 other ip`s with 3 rigs, but I`m not run, because I think miner have some problems with receive shares (flood?).

please run ccminer with the -P (protocol dump) parameter and see exactly where its tripping up.
i'm running the latest commit from pallas' github and hasn't given me any problems.
i get approx 12mh on a 1060 mining-only model, with stock clocks (under debian 8.Cool.
and around 12.5mh with offset +100 gpu / +200 memory.

there will also be a new pool available for cryptonite within 2 weeks.

Hi all and especially welcome Vassilis_Dev,

I had dropped the ball on this one; the hardfork block height had passed and basically I didn't have my shit together.
Anyone using the compiled 0.13.3 wallet would be advised to export their private keys; and reimport them back into the 0.10.5 wallet - in case of any lost funds.
I've removed the compiled windows wallet on the github just as a precaution.

As per mooncoin_foundations request; i've also updated the hardfork block to 1,250,000..

A lot of work had gone into this release, and I hope that it gets built on; particularly the new hashing algorithm - but this is for the crowd/Vassilis_Dev to decide.

Take care all,
james

86  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Incorrect Bitcore(BTX) Circulating Supply on CMC on: December 06, 2017, 01:25:03 AM
CMC lists an incorrect marketcap for quite a few coins.

Anyway.. to clear a few misconceptions, circulating supply means coins that have recently been sent or addresses known to be active (CMC gives no indication of the time cut-off however). A fairly stupid measuring metric to be honest.
Total marketcap are coins generated 'to date' or in existence at any given point.
If coins were sent to an address; and the owner lost the private key - this does not affect the marketcap total, as said coins still exist and are valid on the blockchain.
The Bitcoin holders 'forked' coins don't matter, if they were reimbursed with BTX due to the snapshot - the BTX they were sent already existed beforehand.

To find the to the minute (and correct) coinmarketcap:
Ensure your baking tray is lightly greased, along with a txindex'd copy of bitcored, mix with python 2.7 and gently stir python-bitcoinrpc library in (pip install python-bitcoinrpc). Don't forget to add your rpcuser/pass otherwise rpc comms will fail.

Code:
from bitcoinrpc.authproxy import AuthServiceProxy, JSONRPCException
import time, os, sys

def find_between( s, first, last ):
    try:
        start = s.index( first ) + len( first )
        end = s.index( last, start )
        return s[start:end]
    except ValueError:
        return ""

def find_between_r( s, first, last ):
    try:
        start = s.rindex( first ) + len( first )
        end = s.rindex( last, start )
        return s[start:end]
    except ValueError:
        return ""

# user-config section
rpchost = '127.0.0.1'
rpcuser = ''
rpcpass = ''
rpcport = '8556'

rpcpipe = AuthServiceProxy('http://' + rpcuser + ':' + rpcpass + '@' + rpchost + ':' + rpcport)
currentblk = 0
totalcoincap = 0

while True:

   currentblk=currentblk+1

   #get total blocks
   while True:
     blocktotal = int(rpcpipe.getblockcount())
     if currentblk == blocktotal:
        print 'hit end of chain, waiting'
        time.sleep(15)
     else:
        break

   #request each block
   blockhash = rpcpipe.getblockhash(currentblk)
   blockdata = rpcpipe.getblock(blockhash)
   blocktx = find_between(str(blockdata),'[',']').replace('u','').replace(' ','').replace('\'','')
   blocktxlist = blocktx.split(',')

   #parse all tx in block
   for tx in blocktxlist:
       rawtx = rpcpipe.getrawtransaction(tx)
       # generated pow/pos coins have no prevout
       if '0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' in rawtx:
          break

   #decode the 'generated/mined' tx data, extract the value
   coinbasetx = rpcpipe.decoderawtransaction(rawtx)
   valuemined = find_between(str(coinbasetx), 'Decimal(\'', '\'),')

   #special case for nonstandard pool where coinbaseout isn't first vout
   while float(valuemined)==0:
      try:
        valuemined = find_between_r(str(coinbasetx), 'Decimal(\'', '\'),')
      except:
        valuemined = 0
        print '* could not find vout for block '+str(currentblk)+'!'
        break

   totalcoincap = totalcoincap + float(valuemined)
   currentblk_fmt = str(currentblk)
   while len(str(currentblk_fmt)) < 6:
     currentblk_fmt=' '+currentblk_fmt

   print 'block '+str(currentblk_fmt)+'|'+blockhash+'|mined '+str(round(float(valuemined),8))+'|coincap '+str(round(float(totalcoincap),8))



We can see as of block 95,338; a total of 16,678,946.0337BTX are in existence.

Thanks. It looks good. The only thing I noticed was it's missing the close and minimize buttons in the upper right corner.

Good afternoon. It's a very good work ! I agree about missing of close and minimize buttons in the upper right corner.

Hi all,

This is intentional and looks much neater; the reason this doesnt become an issue, is because you can actually grab the wallet (by clicking anywhere on its face) and dragging it directly.

mebagger: None of these are issues; the seeds will be revisited once we make a decision to go forward with this code or not.

Hello all,

This is probably the post that you've been waiting for.
Please take all precautions necessary with newly released software (backup your existing chains/wallet before use).

https://github.com/mooncoindev/mooncoin-0.13/releases/tag/0.13.3

Please 'put it through its paces' and report any issues on the thread.
If all is well within the week, we will begin approaching existing pools/exchanges; to migrate entirely to the new codebase.
I've also had some questions in regard to mining on the new algorithm; however once a clear-cut decision has been made (to progress with codebase or not), I will release further information.

James

You've gave us a lot of dates in the past, about when to expect new stuff. And you never delivered. We even build a support development team around you, but that went downhill fairly soon, as you disappeared for a long time. Just be straight up with us and say "well guys, it looks like I'm almost ready but I can't set any dates yet.". Now, everyone expects a release, just to see nothing happening - AGAIN. Causing a lot of investors to lose trust.

Honesty is key in making this succeed!

umm.. hi guys? Smiley

i need to support myself too,
for some time now i've managed the entirety of the codebase by myself,
i'd managed most of the support for all side-branches of moon including the utilities,
i supported moon comfortably before the big interest spike in crypto earlier this year (yes, we did exist beforehand),
i had asked people to look and ask around about a qt-developer due to the time-consuming nature of modifying/designing qt interfaces,
at the point where i said i needed to step away (again, to put food on the table), some members were kind enough to set up a fund to help out.

even then; other people were quick to point out that it was just a cash-grab for myself (i did appreciate it littlestan, organised and gave selflessly - top bloke, big, evangelo  and to everyone i havent mentioned from the discord).
other than that; i've had constant messages of all sorts of tone on the bitcointalk forums, i've had people message my phone all hours of the day, people calling me, people emailling me - i've even had a few determined users find me on facebook.
some time back it was suggested that i simply split a cut into the coinbase reward; however i feel this isn't the right thing to do, as good code will attract further funding by happenstance.

most people don't realise that i also support the moonrush pool; as well as the two main nodes out of my own pocket (this does get covered, however i have to pay it upfront).

however to end on a positive note (and the reason i logged on here today); was to announce i've uploaded the codebase to github.
i'll also have a compile done later on today.
additionally - a copy of the cpuminer, with source is available too.

i'd ask that the more tech-savvy users give it a go first; and report and potential gotchas.

https://github.com/mooncoindev/mooncoin-0.13
https://github.com/mooncoindev/cpuminer-balloon

as we approach block 1,165,000 (the point where the hardfork will occur); i will release the pool modules for nomp/unomp/stratum-mining.

not really; in as much that any cryptocurrency can be viewed as a scam.

neat wallet; using a variation of x14 algo (replacing shavite round with sm3).
have literally just stood a stratum up minutes ago to give it a try.

hi all,

thanks for your patience.
finally got some spare time to sit down and work the remaining issues out; particularly with balloonhash.

however, the results are all positive.
balloonhash has been implemented and has been observed solving blocks (on a private chain) with relative ease.
the wallet, cpu miner and suitable stratum modules (nomp/unomp and stratum-mining) will be ready by the end of the week; however I will coordinate with exchanges prior to the hard-fork.

quick look at the cpuminer (~600H/s on a core2quad 2.66,
picture below is before a few big tweaks):


for the newcomers, in the following days i will put together a recap of all the features in the new wallet.
i thankyou all for your patience; i've got quite a bit going on in the background - including some awesome employment prospects (crypto-related) which will become public inevitably in the future.

we're garn to the moon soon,
baz
92  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: Multiple YiiMP pools hacked, this is what I know so far.. on: September 09, 2017, 11:58:55 AM
i'd say most useful would be the commit of yiimp that you are running, httpd version (or package if installed this way), php module etc.
being able to upload anything directly to webroot indicates some fairly serious vuln..

most people running nginx here that were affected by this?

interesting; i ran vega (https://subgraph.com) against one of the yiimp pools i maintain for a client, and 'Possible HTTP PUT File Upload' is identified on the base URL for the pool. it gets particularly bad when you see this: https://nealpoole.com/blog/2011/04/setting-up-php-fastcgi-and-nginx-dont-trust-the-tutorials-check-your-configuration/

could be wrong, but effectively allows attacker to upload a file, then call it (where it will run server side) effectively allowing them to do any number of things..
not sure if nginx is the issue here; i use lighttpd and havent had any problems?

94  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Open Scam $450+] Barryst1e Failure to repay on: August 31, 2017, 03:52:11 AM
An update, Barry offered 'terms' on repaying the amount owed on the 15th that would require this thread to be deleted, the service warning thread to be deleted, all of the posts in the coin thread for MoonCoin, and all negative feedback removed.

I did not agree to those terms and he hasn't bothered contacting me since then. I'm not going to cover up what he did in order to get my money back, not happening.
Sorry, those are fucked up terms--but if that's what it would take to get my money back, I'd probably agree with them.  And then start another thread once the bitcoin came in.  lol

Good luck with this.  It always sucks when a respectful respected member here scams, and we've seen it all too often.  There's no decency with people here.  They're all a bunch of knaves.

CryptoDatabase received working source, an active node and a compiled wallet.
The issue was that it was a week late.

Hard pressed to call it 'fucked up' terms when I literally created none of those posted items (Service warning, Scam accusation, posts in Mooncoin thread); and simply wished them to be removed. Talk about having your cake and eating it too - he got what was requested, albeit late, I still was ok with paying him back after admitting I did drop the ball in terms of timing.

CryptoDatabase would have been paid back a long time ago had he simply agreed to remove the threads (after, not before receiving payment).

Hi all,

With the exception of a few direct messages that really did not sit well with me; you have all been very patient.

I'm looking at getting the new release (hard fork) into place before block 1,150,000 (worst case scenario), hopefully at block 1,140,000 depending on how testing goes in the next few days. This will eventuate mid/late September, and will be a welcome change as the current retargeting system is quite harsh to say the least.

Onto upcoming developments:

At first I was pleased with the new algorithm 'Lyra2M'; however it wasn't perfect, often causing users machines to become quite sluggish and unusable. Additionally, I've had several hints that pools were ready to jump in at the block height of the fork, due to the pre-release of the cpuminer (it is possible to roughly setup a stratum based on available source code); as well as the nagging doubts as to a GPU miner being possible and/or written.

So with this in mind, i'd like to announce that we will be the first Cryptocurrency to utilize the BalloonHash password hashing algorithm (url https://crypto.stanford.edu/balloon/ whitepaper https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/027.pdf). Comparable in strength; yet more durable and resistant to attack than Argon2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI3d-Typ_JY
(quick video showing the new algorithm solving for a block)

Additionally; the new release will benefit from the Litecoin 13.3 codebase (with segwit), extensions for the Moonlite/Moonword platform; as well as a much needed retarget algorithm (with self-lowering difficulty after timeout).

Thankyou to those who have held on; it has been one epic ride,
baz.
96  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [MOON] Mooncoin 🌙 Unbelievable risk/reward ratio. 37159 funded adresses. on: August 01, 2017, 04:08:12 PM
Hi all,

I've managed to get back on top of things, after doing some freelance work for a while.
Everyone is quite keen for an update on things, so here we go:

Mooncoin 0.13 release is very stable.

Total resident memory usage under 75mb (whilst syncing chain).
Time from launching Mooncoin to being ready to use, in the case of a sync'd chain, has been halved (minimum).

Standard sync time from scratch to current blockheight is 34 minutes.
Due partially to 'headers first' functionality seen in late model codebases, but mainly optimized PoW validation during synchronization.

Extensive testing with the new Dual KGW3 difficulty retargetting algorithm. Probably the best i've worked with so far, especially the BitSend timeout feature (this will gradually drop the difficulty over time if a block has not been found in x minutes).

After a lot of testing; i'm not quite happy with the new custom PoW algorithm and it will be tweaked over the next few days, to ensure that: a GPU miner is not possible, botnets do not become an issue and also to guarantee protection against double-spend attacks. Recently HTML5 suffered a 'catastrophic' doublespend at Bleutrade, and I do not wish to ever see this occur with Mooncoin.

I've also decided that Moonlite will be a plug-in module, rather than in-wallet; meaning that the 0.13 release can be done earlier, and that development can be done on each independently, rather than one holding the other up.

I'd like to see the fork to the new algo/codebase before block 1,200,000; but this is up to the community to discuss.

hi all,

i'm quite stoked to announce... that i've had a major victory over the past few days in regards to getting some compatible pool software up and running for use with cryptonite. initially starting off with a wrapper/template translator for cryptonite's getblocktemplate call, which then progressed into several rewrites (of varying success/performance) of python's stratum-mining; which then turned to ditching it all and writing a pool from scratch with threading, a converted m7 pow algorithm module and memcached.

there are a few bugs left to resolve; and some performance testing to do, but we should have a quick high-performance pool up in the next few days. i will attempt to bring it up later today if anyone is interested in seeing how well it fares. the whole experience has been quite rewarding, with some interesting questions being raised about how the existing mining infrastructure/layout was implemented; and what/why certain methods were used.

oddly enough, i have had literally zero (nada) problems with synchronising the wallet/it becoming lagged or stalling whilst developing the pool; the machine it was running on being a core2quad 2.33, so i'm honestly stumped as to why the other operators have experienced issues  Roll Eyes  Cool

will post again later on today,
remember kids - built, not bought he said tongue-in-cheek (make haste! aha, hopefully the right people get that)

I think that if it is an attack, there is an anonymous one, which always connects several times with the same nickname, and this in suprnova is not allowed, the nickname can not be repeated, besides since this user has connected several times to the pool , Began the problems again, Ociminer. One question, I know that the suprnova pool does not allow the same user to connect multiple times, nor do two users have the same nickname, who is this user that appears several times mining: anonymous, because I have mined in suprnova and do not You can use the same nickname of another person

this is to avoid exhausting the extranonce1 field.
potentially you can massively reduce a pool's ability to find a block by grabbing as many as you can (as they are unique for each miner, won't get handed out to the next etc).
to be fair its actually a massive flaw in the stratum mining protocol, assigning extranonce1 first before validating username..

Cryptonited game over... ( -s 2 in miner). The same crash is in cryptonite-qt.

http://prntscr.com/fwcer6

For those having issues with the wallets lagging out/memory usage, whilst solo-mining against the wallet; make sure you adjust your ccminer config so -s is at 5 or 10.

When pool mining -s 1 or -s 2 is fine, however it will cause issues for any QT wallet being polled that often/quickly.
The linux daemon seems to handle it fine Smiley
