Datacoin Core version v0.16.3.0-74075b1f3-dirty (64-bit)

Let me know how I can be of greater assistance!

Hi Team!

The first test of Datacoin v0.16.3.0-74075b1f3-dirty Windows is complete.

The sync took 9 hours from beginning to end on a duocore Intell XeonR CPU E5-2673 v4 @ 2.3GHz with 4 GB RAM.

That's inline with 15.9, and perhaps even a bit better

The start was shaky, header sync stalled 4 times and I had to restart the instance.


Log below:

6:40 found 2 nodes within a minute in all cases

6:45 syncing headers to 22.6% quickly, stopped (no spike in cpu or ram, connections were there)
 
7:04 restarted dc and it went to 22.9 but immediately stopped syncing headers

7:10 restarted, went to 23.1 and stopped syncing headers

7:14 restarted
went solid to 87% header sync then cpu spiked and it powered through to 100 sync all headers at 7:48

7:48 all headers synced -- block now syncing with network, wallet estimates 15 hrs.
still synced to 2 peers.

8/9/20
12:19am
now has 4 peers

2:48
90% progress
 
3:45 fully synced at 1.8 gig ram.
shut down wallet and restarted (per best practice after a full sync).
ram now at 1.2 ram


IP of the test wallet is 40.87.106.229

Tests will continue!

Great work Hamburger -- let me know how I can be of continued help

Kind Regards,
DataSea

Hi Team!

I spun up a VM to help test Datacoin v0.16.3.0-74075b1f3-dirty Windows -- it's currently syncing.
Not enough information yet from it to comment on anything -- will run some tests when it syncs.

In regards to speed, were the improvements from 0.15.99-08 incorporated?
The speed of that build was incredible and was under 12 hours to sync or rebuild -- I use that build on my production computers.

I'm here to help as best I can!

DataSea

Thank you for your work MarcusDe!


Anyone able to help with his question?

Hi Mafia!


Have you been helped?

The most recent builds I personally run are the following:

Source code DTC 0.15.99-08: https://yadi.sk/d/nA7f5cWr3VSYDf
Windows binaries 0.15.99-08: https://yadi.sk/d/eu7rJ9EN3VSYBF

The main sight has this:
https://github.com/datacoinproject/datacoin/releases/tag/v0.16.3

Does anyone else have anything more recent or better?


Many thanks all!
AtomSea -- DataSea

This is awesome Extro!!

Great work to everyone who contributed!

Hi minerja,

Note that the email and name need not be correct for it to work...

Hi Hamburger,

Thank you for the heads-up!

I purchased 2 months.

If anyone else feels like contributing, it's very easy -- you simply send Bitcoin to the address it creates after you click the amount of months you want to help with!

Hi Team!

I humbly request that we utilize Data (from Star Trek:TNG) as the unofficial meme for Datacoin -- lol! -- there are so many great GIFs  

Also, @GameKyuubi, if you have some reddit superpowers, please by all means utilize them!
I can boot up my old login and check it out too, but no one appears to be doing it -- the Cypherpunk way is to just make it happen
We need a reddit presence.
Anyone else have opinions/input on this?


In addition, @extro, how is the Twitter feed looking?
Any way to have one post a day? Perhaps we put together a few more posts than the old rotation had, and then be slower than the last time.
With of course a keen eye on posts from other users that can be retweeted to supplement that rotation -- and also responses.
We should be monitoring for #Datacoin (us, not the imposter datacoin) and be amplifying
And naturally original posts when the moment strikes -- but just having the one a day drum beat of good automated content is wise (at least until we have a dedicated Twitter crew -- then by all means I'd like to have them all be original).


@gjhiggins -- Can you be our GitHub master for now that also helps groom a group to oversee a "GitHub Datacoin" in time?
I for one volunteer to be the first of these disciples and would like to learn your ways -- as you can see I'm watching on GitHub -- but I have a long way to go.
First bonehead question --> do we have an official GitHub for Datacoin? lol



Lots of other great things happening I see too!


Keep up the great work people!


Kind Regards,

The AtomSea

And WOW Graham!

I'm still reading your posts and digesting/learning/bumbling through your great work!!!

Hi Sharo,

Apertus is a work-in-progress blockchain archiver and can (and has) put news stories on Datacoin and other coins.
It has a Datacoin mode that was in part because of the valuable input of the Datacoin community!

https://github.com/HugPuddle/Apertus

Having a version of Apertus that is geared towards news archiving and retrieval would be wise and most welcome.

Here is an example of a published news story:
"Shaving the Corners of Justice: The Prosecution of Leonard Peltier"

Your work is greatly appreciated Graham!

Hmmm, that sure fits some evidence, but can a clock on a computer really do that?

The evidence of a large miner entering is certainly true, as the difficulty quickly grew at that point.

Anyone else have any theories?

I saw that too sampei, very strange.
There was two actually -- one happened after that as well.
Have you seen it since?

Hi Team!

Just a reminder that we are maintaining the Datacoin Testnet for any experimentation you wish to do.
The static IP location is --> 108.161.137.90:4776

We are using the Verionum version 0.15.99-08

• Source code DTC 0.15.99-08: https://yadi.sk/d/nA7f5cWr3VSYDf
• Windows binaries 0.15.99-08: https://yadi.sk/d/eu7rJ9EN3VSYBF
• from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2188160.msg36519410#msg36519410

How to run a Testnet:

• Create a shortcut to Datacoin, then rightclick on the shortcut, now click properties.
  Then in properties in the Target field on the far right, add a space then put -testnet in there.
  Run it, then you add the nodes via clicking the Help tab > Debug window > Console > then in the console at the bottom put addnode 108.161.137.90:4776 add

Note that we are running a very low powered machine to keep Testnet running -- a few more Testnet miners would be wise for it to run more optimally -- please do if you can.

Also remember there is a Mainnet block explorer here:

• https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dtc

In addition, just so there isn't any confusion in the future:

We are mining Datacoin to use as an archival tool, and also as a possible means of revenue source in the future. Our goal to to make Datacoin more convenient and strong for the user, and valuable for the investor -- as we are literally both.  We are mining with many machines right now, and when it gets too warm here to mine, we will be buying. Our coffers have about 1.5 million datacoin at present, and will continue to grow.
Our interests are simply to provide tools to immutably archive information on blockchains, and provide a revenue source to fund these activities. Cypherpunk blockchains are an ideal tool for these activities, and Datacoin is one of them.

Note that this is the lowest we've seen Datacoin difficulty in a very long time, and it is the lowest price we've ever seen period. The argument in the future that there are people with large amounts with Datacoin, and how that is "unfair," is officially moot. You can be one of these large holders literally right now. During the dips some of us stuck around and ran machines to keep the network alive, and were rewarded by the network in more Datacoin. That's how Cypherpunk blockchains work. Those that also chose to buy the dips also maintained the network by helping out miners that needed to sell to literally pay bills, these investors are rewarded with large amounts of Datacoin for the future. Again, that's how Cypherpunk blockchains work. Cypherpunk blockchains reward the players in the game -- this is literally game theory -- and yes that's by design.  Datacoin has been around for awhile now -- if people actively choose to ignore it now, then they can't complain about the large holders in the future when it comes of age. The network was designed to reward adopters -- but note that bodes well for the network, as it locks in the interest of that investor who is encouraged to then invest even more into the network -- again, basic game theory, and by Cypherpunk design. You can be apart of it, or choose not to be apart of it, but just remember that choosing later does not give you the right to chastise the early adopters who kept it literally alive during many cryptowinters.  We are in one now -- you can choose to be apart of Datacoin now      

We are excited to see ongoing Datacoin work and are doing everything we can to keep the light on, and hopefully soon enter into more development.

Kindest Regards,
The DataSea

Yay Extro!

Indeed.
I decided to just not deal with it and create DataSea... lol
Maybe someday I'll resurrect the AtomSea account -- i hold the AtomSea Bitcoin privkeys and can use that... but I'm liking the DataSea  

Hi Datacoin!


We are still mining Datacoin and Datacoin testnet!

I'm currently still in school learning computer programming and working in the tech field gaining valuable know-how.

What have you been doing during the crypto-winter?

Hope you have been polishing your skillz to make this world a better place!

The goal is to help take Datacoin and all Cypherpunk blockchains that are committed to helping The People to greater heights.


Kind Regards,

The DataSea / AtomSea

And for the record -- the difficulty is lower than it's been in awhile, and the price is also very low.
The argument that there are some large holders of Datacoin, therefore we need a new algorithm is officially moot.
You can also be a large holder... Right Now!

Be one of the ones who mined and bought during the lows to keep the chain afloat -- we are . . .
