also i'm thinking the devs are the only ones mining at this point since the public can't create accounts/keys yet  Huh

Yes, but payouts start at block 100000... Until then there are no new coins generated.

From now on, you will be able to see the transaction history.
DECENT Blockchain Explorer is live: https://explorer.decent.ch/


in terminal i'm seeing block # 2360

explorer isn't updating ?

EDIT:  nvm i refreshed the page Smiley), however the GUI wallet still says it's syncing with the network...

Yes the Explorer works but the syncing issues is being worked on right at this moment. hold off just a few more minutes. Sorry for the hiccup.

Ok thought something wasn't happening right, thank you, keep us updated please !

Ok something definitely going on, i terminated the GUI and followed the daemon/cli instructions, the daemon starts and syncs blocks however upon starting the cli_wallet binary i get the following output:
Code:
Logging RPC to file: /home/ader/.decent/logs/rpc/rpc.log

@DECENT please assist, thank you


Can you see line like this when starting decentd?:

3587555ms th_a       application.cpp:215           reset_websocket_serv ] Configured websocket rpc to listen on 127.0.0.1:8090

yes that was shown when the daemon starts.  you can also confirm it's listening on that port if you're on windows using the command netstat -a, or in linux type lsof -i:8090

Can you also see lines like this in decentd output when cli is started?

Where the blockchain downloaded in Windows? (I can't see it in AppData folder)

I would like to remove all old blockchain files and try again.  

Some one please help me in this matter.

Not sure about windows, search for .decent directory in your home folder...

EDIT - ok, got it, it is: AppData/Local/.decent

But I have one question: "DECENT Application for Windows users will be available soon." - Can you specifiy a little bit more in detail, how long I have to wait?

We expect the Windows build to be ready next week. Unfortunately, not all libraries used were ready for windows, so there is some work needed migrating those. Keep the fingers crossed Smiley

  • Regarding the (medium like) blogging platform on top of Decent. Where will it be hosted? I guess it still needs immediate machine power and central infrastructure, doesn't it? If it's thought to be distributed delivery - how can that work really fast. I mean currently I have to rent machines from service providers to achieve a fast delivery and I use heavy caching by other service providers. And people don't want to wait for seconds to open a blog post.
  • Just googled for torrent streaming and that seems to be possible... Will that architecture be the blueprint for Decent video streaming?
  • How is it organized that the blockchain is staying at a manageable size? I mean it will be terrabytes if content is embedded (but I guess that won't be the case)? But alone with the transaction data the blockchain will explode (we see it with Bitcoin and it is just for financial transactions)?Will everyone just have some part of it, but how is the complete chain validation organized?
  • It needed years and I can't imaging how many person programming years to get torrent, blogging ... where we are now. Based on the ICO you can maybe pay up to 30 great developers for one year (let it be 50). I think thats far to less to get that much done what Decent aims to be. Are there any other plans how to attract development capabilities?

1. The web FE indeed need its own place where it runs. The advantage with decentralized BE is, that the FEs can themselves run in different locations.
2. Under investigation right now. The torrent streaming is the most straightforward and simplest way indeed, but has its own drawbacks (too simplistic, issue with integrating the statistics and their accuracy etc).
3. Content in the block is an issue - look for example at steem, you have problem running node on machine with 8GB of memory after few months of usage.  Therefore, content won't/can't be included in the blockchain. This moves the problem a bit into the future, so we can (and we will, as it is not immediate problem to be resolved) address it in one of the planned feature drops. First we need to understand how the network will be used, have some statistics, see what takes most space in the blockchain, how quickly it gets filled, and based on that we will decide on the best corrective actions, which can be e.g. removal of obsolete transactions.
4. Let's wait for the ICO to finish before making any conclusion in this area Wink So far it looks good, and we will be able to finance the most important features plus lot of "nice to have" ones.
