I would recommend that you do any windows or mac builds with the gitian build system. It lets you deterministically build all of the binaries on a linux system like the one that you are developing in.
Question is: how would I use the gitian build system when there only are a few folders (contrib/gitian-descriptors [and] contrib/gitian-downloader)? |

Also, I discovered that when I try and type in an RPC command, it does the same exact thing (but with only one error):  Any help I could get on this? |

So I've been trying to make a coin for fun recently, but I'm stumped on this issue. On Windows, the wallet works fine: I can mine from a pool, coins gets sent, I can also transfer coins, etc., but when I close the wallet (clicking the X button/File + Close), I always get a whole bunch of errors from Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library:  If the picture doesn't load, the errors all say: This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information. When I close one of those errors, the whole thing stops responding and crashes. I have no idea what the issue is here, the log file only says this: 2015-07-25 00:40:37 ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED

I'm developing on a Ubuntu 14.04.1 VM, in which on Ubuntu, the wallet works without issue. Also, the coin daemon ( Xcoind.exe) works fine on Windows, no issues. Here is my .pro file: http://pastebin.com/5ffptXxTTo compile, I used this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0Any suggestions? EDIT: If it may help, I am using the 0.8.6 source forked from BTC, but with the X11 algo. |

Thanks for all the suggestions, though.  Really appreciate it, I've been wanting to learn more about cryptocurrency. No way. Did he just try to release a coin AND say 'I've been wanting to learn more about cryptocurrency' ? Indeed he did...  Yep, I did. I released a coin, realized it was filled with bugs, and then cancelled the release until I can make a better one. I do want to learn more about cryptocurrencies, but I guess this was my first step to learning more of it. |

Hello everyone: I'm a relatively young (16 year old) programmer, trying to push myself to learn new things (somewhat an inefficient programmer tbh). For the past week, I've been attempting to create a new Altcoin to learn about cryptocurrency, which I thought it was ready, but turns out after I released it, the coin got mined through easily and people started running into issues. I was using SHA256 (since the only stuff I know how to make so far is Scrypt and SHA256). Also, it was the old Bitcoin release ( 0.8.0 ), so it had issues there. I'm still learning this whole cryptocurrency deal, trying to figure out how to code more efficiently for these, so please excuse my noobish questions: What would be the best algorithm to use for a new Altcoin? The list of algorithms I've heard of so far: - SHA256
- Scrypt
- X11
- X13
- X15
- Lyra2RE

This is why i always run a sandbox for new coins  That's just a false detect given by the old source used by the dev, still doesn't changes the fact that coin has major bugs You think I should redo the whole thing from 0.11.0 or nah? I mean, I have time to waste :L To be honest i wouldn't waste my time with it, but it is your decision. Maybe it is better to make a new coin where everything is working, or if you want to stick to this relaunch so it gets a fair start I'll be sticking to it because I would like to continue the Ponycoin/Pwnycoin legacy, ever since they discontinued their coins. |

Ponycoin is forked and modified from Bitcoin v0.8.0, an old release that still has the miner in it, so it most likely detects as the BitCoinMiner virus. This is a complete waste of time since it doesn't even work, seriously why bother releasing it if you didn't even test it ?
Meh, I might as well remake Ponycoin from v0.11.0 and see where I get, and I'll update this post when ready. v0.8.0 is just way too old now, so might as well give it a shot. I pretty much only tested this on my dev PC with an Ubuntu VM and Windows 7, so I expected it to go rough at first. |

pony@w01:~/.ponycoin$ ponycoind listtransactions "" 100
[
]
we're kicking blocks, they are accepted by the daemon, at least the stratums say so... but the daemon won't list them
look like I'll close the pool, waste of time
I've seen a coin doing this some week ago, I can't remember which one tho
I don't exactly know what's going on here. I'm still rather new to the crypto game and maybe my source got mucked up. Any suggestions? Also, new build: https://mega.co.nz/#!15gyybpQ!Ug0E8tfI7G9rhfDd5GAx2lcHIgaVGvXx_tq3nWPzCv8 |

Wallet cannot open because it's missing libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
Let me repack with everything else. One moment. I haven't exactly tested the build on any Windows PC other then my dev one.  |

Coin has been delayed until I can figure out some errors, sorry.Since both Pwnycoin and the original Ponycoin have been discontinued, I have been working on a revival of the two. My goals for creating Ponycoin are to learn more about cryptocurrency, while also providing a community-run coin for everypony (communities are great, right?). Ponycoin is built off of the Bitcoin 0.8 wallet, but will be upgraded to the latest wallet over time. If you run into any bugs, please use the official Github page to notify me of any issues. Also feel free to make pools, if you desire. Ports used by Ponycoin:RPC: 6932 (Testnet: 16932) P2P: 6933 (Testnet: 16933)  Windows (v0.8.0): Not built yet, will add soon. :L Mac OS X: Not built yet, will add soon. :L Github Source Code: https://github.com/ponycoin/ponycoin

Is that stock Intel cooler making contact with all the dies?
What do you mean? A lot of the stock intel coolers have a round plug in the middle that's ~28mm in diameter.  To make good contact with all the dies you need a square base of at least 33mm. With the cooler pictured you'd have bad contact with the four center dies and no contact at all with the corner dies. Oh, no it isn't. I'll need a better way to cool this thing though. Any fans you recommend that do the job (and are below $40)? |

I just bought this miner a few days ago from eBay for the sake of getting 30+ GH/s.
I hooked this thing up to a 200W PSU and an Ubuntu Server box.
I can't seem to get it past 8Gh/s. The only time I see above 8 is when I first boot up bfgminer and it warns me about the temperature.
I have plenty of cooling for this thing, so I dunno what's wrong.
If someone can help me on this issue, that would be great.
Was this one of the ones that Lucko had made, or is it an original Chili? Try downloading the ChiliFlash utility linked at the start of this thread, and see if all the asics report as working. I flashed the Chili with a few of the hex files, and it seemed like everything was working. It gave me this: DEVICE: Chili SC
MANUFACTURER: MrTeal and ChipGeek
FIRMWARE: 1.2.14e
CHIP PARALLELIZATION: NO
QUEUE DEPTH:40
PROCESSOR 0: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 1: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 2: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 3: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 4: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 5: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 6: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
PROCESSOR 7: 16 engines @ 0 MHz -- MAP: FFFF
THEORETICAL MAX: 33.28 GH/s And then I update data once, and it brings the Theoretical Max down to ~ 19-20 GH/s. I've also tried with cgminer, and it yields me the same exact results. This is my current setup, I know it's kinda ghetto:  I'm wondering if I should get better fans for this. I need an excellent one for under $50 that'll do the job. |

Hello! I'm new to Bitcoin mining in general, and I followed a tutorial on how to get started. They suggested this pool. I just wanna say that I don't know like anything about bitcoin, besides the basics, and I'd like to know if I should go any further with what I am doing. I have an ATI (or AMD) Radeon HD 7770 (GHz Edition) that I use for gaming and, well, this. I get 200 Mhash/s, and I wanna know if this is good for mining. I've mined about 0.00000494 BTC so far, and that's within a day. I also want to know if I should upgrade to a better Graphics Card or an ASIC thingy later on. I know this thing is good for beginner users, and I just hope it survives everything I throw at it. Anyway, thank you I like Bitcoin so far btw. I just wish there was a method I could take. (I only have like $50 to spend right now) |
