1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DNS Seed not working properly on: March 11, 2018, 05:02:12 PM
Hey if you still havent solved your issue, let me know. I was having similar issue with my DNS seeder and was finally able to solve it.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how to setup dnsseed for altcoin? on: March 08, 2018, 11:41:19 PM
I am confused setting up nameserver to run with dnsseeder. I modified dnsseeder to work with my new altcoin.

Here is what is did.

I have vps.example.com setup with amazon ec2 and i compiled dnsseeder. I went to godaddy dns settings of my domain example.com and added my 1.2.3.4 (elastic public ip)

Hostname in Godaddy

vps.example.com  mapped to 1.2.3.4
and the nameservers in godaddy domain are like this

Code:
Type    Name    Value   TTL Actions
A   @   1.2.3.4              1 Hour
NS  @   ns27.domaincontrol.com  1 Hour  
NS  @   ns28.domaincontrol.com  1 Hour  
NS  dnsseed vps.example.com 1 Hour

This way dnsseed.example.com points to vps.example.com (this is my hostname where i run dnsseeder)

Then i run dnsseeder

Code:
./dnsseed -h dnsseed.example.com -n vps.example.com -m root.example.com

Code:
Supporting whitelisted filters: 0x1,0x5,0x9,0xd

when i query nslook, it is not returning any dns ips.

Code:
$ dig -t NS dnsseed.example.com

; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> -t NS dnsseed.example.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 44679

It seems something is wrong. I am supposed to receive multiple set of IPs as answer.

What did i do wrong?



Hi did you get this figured out? Unfortunately i am in the same boat as you and i havent been able to receive a single help from anyone. How did you get your vps.example.com added to godaddy? It didnt let me do that.

7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to create a Wndows-qt wallet on: October 10, 2017, 06:53:54 PM
Hi,

I am looking for a reliable set of instructions on how to compile a Windows-qt wallet that should work for any or most alt coin. I am really not interested in instructions that is seven year old, for that, Google is a good source of information. Coins that I have seen recently and that comes to mind - could maybe work PeerCoin or PrimeCoin or DataCoin

Thx,

H

Hi, did you get this figured out? If not, PM me.

Hi guys,

I am trying to explore DNS Seeder and tried to follow this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=599623.0 but The Web Stuff part is where i hit the wall and was wondering if someone could help me out. I am trying to test this on my Ubuntu VM with a test coin. Thanks in advance.

Thank you everyone!

Hey guys, pardon me for my dumb questions as i am in the process of learning few things. I understand that when someone installs a wallet it becomes a node (at least for the coins i have tested with) and other wallet/node can talk to that and sync. So for an existing coin, if i have a wallet running with updated version and if it is the only wallet with updated protocol versions, how does it generate new blocks. Thanks!

Since you posted this in the "Development & Discussion" sub-forum, I assume you are asking about Bitcoin?  If you are asking about some altcoins, you'll need to move this thread to the altcoin sub-forum.  You can use the "Move Topic" link at the bottom of the thread to move it if you are the creator of the thread.

That being said, Bitcoin wallets don't generate blocks.  Miners do.

If a Bitcoin wallet updates to a new version that is incompatible with the old version (a forking change), then the the wallet will refuse to accept any blocks created and relayed by any peers that are still running the old version. The wallet will have to wait until a miner updates to the same version and starts creating blocks with the new rules.

This is why forking changes typically include an "activation date", an "activation threshold", and an "activation signal".  The "activation signal" allows miners to announce in their old-version blocks that they are ready to start creating new blocks.  The "activation threshold" allows wallets and other miners to determine that there are enough miners that are ready to start creating new blocks. The "activation date" makes sure that everyone that is ready switches over to the rules of the new version at the same time so that nobody is left without any useful peers.

Apologies, also new to this forum and yes i am talking about an alt coin but your explanation completely makes sense. Until i try to find a way to move this topic to altcoin, hope you dont mind me asking another question. So for a POS altcoin, whoever has the new version pretty much has to stake for new blocks correct?
