1  Economy / Scam Accusations / VirtualCoin possible scam on: February 02, 2017, 06:12:11 PM
This ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1756007.0

Reasons: not working source code. Wallet can not be compiled. OP owner deleting posts instead of answering questions surrounding this.

And proof below, my posts that were deleted.

Since the other topic is locked for some reason: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1756007.0

...i am posting here.

Just a warning to everyone.

The source code of this coin is a mess, it can not be compiled normally: https://github.com/vcoin-z/virtualcoin/

The whole thing smells fishy... proceed with caution.


what do you mean he wants to try to fool or just a problematic source code only.

First of all it is strange that the main ANN topic is locked.

Second of all, the source is just wierd. It has an old genesis block and there are thousands of errors at compilation.

Third thing that is strange is that the github link was really hard to find... It was not posted in the ann, it was only posted in the tweet. And this source is old. Its like he or she posted it just to make it look good, thinking nobody would actually go test it and just use the compiled windows wallet on megaupload.

So yeah, I think its a scam of some sort. There might be malicious code in the windows wallet...honestly I don't know and I don't care that much.

Just wanted to give out a warning, that this is a strange launch of a coin and people should be careful.

Edit: I mean, the coin is launched and the OP says source and wallets coming soon. Who does that really? Smiley
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Bitcoin Core 12.1 Solo Mining Problem on: May 10, 2016, 07:43:59 PM
Since the update to 12.1 I can not solo mine anymore.

I am solo mining (as a joke of course) with one usb antminer u1 on the same machine that is running the node, it worked so far but with the new version I am getting this in bfgminer:

Code:

 [2016-05-10 21:33:30] No servers were found that could be used to get work from

 [2016-05-10 21:33:30] Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have input

 [2016-05-10 21:33:30] Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or have not set up workers

Funny thing is, the bitcoind log reports a "create new block" message when I start the miner, not an "unauthorized rpc user/password error":

Code:
2016-05-10 19:32:41 CreateNewBlock(): total size 172240 txs: 323 fees: 5817514 sigops 960

But thats it, that is the one and only message I get regarding mining.

I know about this:

Code:
2016-05-10 19:29:21 Config options rpcuser and rpcpassword will soon be deprecated. Locally-run instances may remove rpcuser to use cookie-based auth, or may be replaced with rpcauth. Please see share/rpcuser for rpcauth auth generation.

But it says soon, so not yet right?

Why is bitcoind not accepting a valid rpcuser and pasword that is in the bitcoin.conf file?

3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / [ANN][NEVA] NevaCoin | PoS | Blake2s | NO Premine | on: March 05, 2016, 01:47:06 PM
Nevacoin

The first decentralized cryptocurrency ever to be created as a gift for someone's birthday. At 1457344680 unix time is my girlfriend's 25th birthday (her name is Neva if that isn't obvious) and since she is abroad at the moment I figured this is the best gift I can give her remotely. Who wouldn't want a global decentralized peer to peer network cryptocurrency platform named after them as a birthday gift, right? Don't worry, I will also give her a less geeky gift when she comes back Smiley

Genesis block:

Code:
const char* pszTimestamp = "Happy 25th birthday Neva!!!";

        genesis.nTime    = 1457344680;
      

The coin was successfully launched on March 7th, 9:58AM (GMT) and is available for mining (for the next 14years) and staking since day one.

Name meaning:

Gender: F  Meaning of Neva: "white snow" Origin of Neva: Spanish


What is the purpose of this coin?

- 0% PoS, fixed block rewards ensure predictable supply increase.

- Unlike most of PoW/PoS Hybrids, this one will have a very long PoW phase. The network will stop accepting PoW blocks in approximately 14 years. The goal is to gain a mining chance, even to people that stumble upon it years later in the future.

- Gain some interest from the female half of the population (starting with Neva). Lets be honest the cryptocurrency community is still a sausage fest Smiley

- Blake2s mining algorithm.

- Blake2s PoS block hashing - friendly to low end hardware. Raspberry-Pi nodes...etc.

- Slow emmision. The PoW and PoS reward is 5 NEVAs. The reward will halve for both at block height 2628000. That is approximately 7 years until the first halving. After the second halving at block height 5256000 the PoW phase will be over, continued only by PoS with 1.25 NEVA reward, which will halve again in 2628000 blocks...etc.

- The low reward and long PoW phase is meant to avoid the insta-mine by handful of people.

QT GUI Wallet Features:
-Integrated block explorer
-Two themes, default light theme and an optional funky dark theme

Daemon features:
-coockie authentication
   - You do not need the rpcuser/password parameters in the nevacoin.conf to run the daemon. You can still use them if you want, but if they are not provided an authentication cookie file will be generated in the .nevacoin directory and also deleted on shutdown. So one less thing you have to do if you want to run a headles node for staking.

Basic setup for daemon in nevacoin.conf file is:
Code:
daemon=1

Hello,

any idea what is causing this? It just goes on forever, every two seconds. I noticed today that bitcoind crashed, upon restarting it again I followed the log for a while and saw this.

5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / bitcoind not accepting connections on 8333 on: March 31, 2015, 09:41:13 PM
Hello all,

I decided to run a full node to help out the network. I have a fast fiber connection, so I guess it would make a good contribution.

Everything already worked, but then I had to restart my server after a few days and since then, bitcoind does not accept connections anymore - it is still connected to the network and is updating the new blocks as they come...

Here is some more info:

I am running version 0.10.0 compiled from source on ubuntu server 14.04, no GUI, so only CLI tips please.

bitcoin.conf
Code:
server=1
daemon=1

bitcoind debug.log

Code:
2015-03-31 20:48:05 Bound to [::]:8333
2015-03-31 20:48:05 Bound to 0.0.0.0:8333
2015-03-31 20:48:05 init message: Loading block index...

netstat --ip -lpa gives me:
Code:
tcp        0      0 localhost:8332          *:*                     LISTEN      1533/bitcoind  
tcp        0      0 *:8333                  *:*                     LISTEN      1533/bitcoind  

A port scanning website gives me this:
Code:
My IP x.x.x.x is responding on port 8333 ().

I use a direct PPPoE connection, no router in between. And from the info provided above, my IP is reachable on 8333.

However according to blockchain.info and also https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/ my node is not reachable.

I googled all the options, but mostly people have problems with routers and port forwarding etc. Here the port is reachable, so it has to stop somewhere in bitcoind. The bitcoin.conf file does not have any options to even try solving this...

And btw, its not a general issue on the server, I can connect via SSH (21) from the outside normally and also from other ports...

Any help would be appreciated.
