What part of "releasing the code as free software" do you think I misunderstood?

This is a valid point, but it stills begs the question: WHY do YOU need to see the source code NOW? Can you not wait a few weeks? If not, then why not? I'm an EE and have had my work stolen/copied, so I tend to take a dim view of people that demand to see the intellectual property of others for no damn good reason, and you have not presented even a half-baked reason, much less a damn good one, why YOU are entitled to it.

So chill out and let the DERO team do what they do. So far they've been doing a helluva job, and I'm inclined to let them keep on keeping on.

I thought my implied point was clear - you haven't been participating in this thread UNTIL NOW. Your butthurt seems disingenuous, in other words.


So you say, but you also could have bought an old account to get more from sig campaigns and bounties without having to earn pesky merit...


Again with the butthurt. I have not always been a fan of CaptDero's terse and oblique ways - and I still call him out on it when appropriate now - but I also recognize that there is a small team behind DERO doing a tremendous amount of work. Why not give them a few more weeks or so to prove themselves worthy of our commitment rather than lambast them within days of releasing a complete rewrite of their blockchain?

Looking at your post history I see virtually no activity between 2014 and now, so it seems more than a bit unusual for you to suddenly show up in the DERO ANN thread and start mouthing off like this. I'm one of the toughest customers around but even I'm finding your self-affront here massively overdone.

You need to select the option, "recover wallet using recovery seed (25 words)" from the wallet-cli menu. You should have written down your 25 word recovery seed when you first created your wallet using the old wallet-cli, but if you didn't there is a command to get the seed from it (I don't remember the exact command and I already deleted the old wallet-cli).

See my previous post where I went through much the same thing as you: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2525508.msg33402693#msg33402693

I just did some due diligence on RavenCoin and all I can say is, best of luck to you all mining it, because it looks like a train wreck to me. Two different ANN threads with lots of infighting, questionable mining software, and the coin itself doesn't really seem any different from any other random shitaltcoin. I'm going to stick to DERO, ZEN & ITNS. And MUSIC!

EDIT - this sounds a bit harsh/combative upon re-reading it, and that's not the intended spirit; rather, I'd very much like to hear the counterarguments in favor of RVN, because from my (admittedly jaundiced/cynical) perspective it only seems have the support of the CEO of Overstock.com who is, let's say, a rather colorful character (or a crackpot, if you prefer).

Hmm, well, it's a very official sounding statement, I'll give you that. A bit light on some of what I would consider to be essential details starting with what is a network attack? I'm guessing it's not NiceHash, so perhaps an array of ASIC miners coming online on a private pool or even running solo? As the old tabloid slogan goes, "Enquiring* minds want to know!"

Plagiarism results in banning here and there is a specific thread to report copy/paste posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2855895

It helps to also provide links to both the original post that was copied, as well as the copy. Or just report the copied post to the moderator, though that may take a bit longer to get processed.

I hate spammers and plagiarists and report them like a mo-fo...

Huh, in all my years I never once tried the command "cd %appdata%" but it does, indeed, change to c:\users\<username>\appdata\Roaming! I edited my post to correct my mistake.

As for Windows Defender, I have had to exclude all mining programs and most wallets from it over the last 2 months as every definition update seems to target mining more and more. The conspiracy theorist in me suspects this is because lots of mining rigs running Win10 don't bother activating it... 

Speaking of the new wallet, I see it still displays the same cryptic data on staking (# of inputs, # of coin days, # inputs min age, etc) rather than provide a more human-friendly estimate of the time (or range of time) to receive a block reward from PoS. Are there any plans to change this behavior, because PoS is a core feature of TZC, yet it seems to be treated like the proverbial red-headed stepchild?

You missed a couple of things in this explanation for Windows users. First is that the new TrezarCoin data folder is located under %appdata%\Roaming, not just %appdata%, and it is, of course, called TrezarCoin, rather than data. To speed things along, copy the existing data subdirectory to c:\users\<username>\appdata\Roaming\ and then rename it TrezarCoin BEFORE running the new wallet program.

Second is that the new wallet is tagged as a trojan by Windows Defender (Fuery.a!cl) but this is almost certainly a false positive (or, I should say, it better be) so this file needs to be excluded from scanning. For those who have not done this before it's fairly simple but you have to dig deep. First open Windows Defender (either via Settings or the up-arrow in the right side of the tray), then click on the "Virus & Threat Protection" shield, then scroll down and click on "Virus & Threat Protection Settings," then scroll down and click on "Add or remove exclusions" to add the file or folder you want to exclude from scanning. Practically speaking, you'll likely have to add your Downloads folder to the exclusion list as well, even though that almost entirely defeats the purpose of having anti-virus software in the first place. M$ fails yet again, is all I can say.

EDIT - I learned something new: "cd %appdata%" does, indeed, go to c:\users\<username>\appdata\roaming, and not just the appdata parent directory! So I struck out the incorrect text above.

This is most likely because sgminer isn't located in the c:\windows\system32 directory (nor should it be); change to the directory where you put sgminer.exe and then try running it. 

I can't find the post, but I distinctly recall reading that fmerit is awarded each time you "complain" about merit. By a process of April 1st deduction, that eliminates 4 out of 5 of your choices. 

Please and thank you sir!

Oh, boohoo... an ancient AMD FX-8320 mines about 4500 TRTL per day. Quit whining and start mining!

With heavy heart I vote for heavy, but it is a really close call. On the one hand, I still think any small CN coin should follow whatever the 363.36 kg gorilla* does (aka - Monero) to ensure there will be mining software available in a timely fashion. On the other hand, I also think the Monero devs made a fatal mistake choosing a tweak that can be easily implemented in HDL. Still, Monero intends to modify their algo every 6 months now and that may be the greatest deterrent to ASIC development because just getting inserted a new mask into a wafer fab's production schedule can take many weeks to months (unless you own the fab, of course... which, fortunately, none of these jokers do).

Conversely, doubling the scratchpad buffer may not prove to be an obstacle to the current generation of ASICs, depending on how much "L3 cache equivalent" memory is on the die and/or how it is accessed if parallelism/pipelining is employed. Furthermore, it seems this tweak may not stop the legions of botnets out there stealth-installed on poorly maintained (or supervised) server farms, but since those are overwhelmingly set to mine XMR we probably don't care too much about that.

So, tough call, really.



* - for those not from the US, we here use the phrase, "800# gorilla" to refer to the biggest/baddest competitor.

Nope, I have not made nor have a trezarcoin.conf file. I've seen a few references to such, but no official documentation explaining it. I guess I am one of the few people on the planet that actually RTFM's so the lack of a manual to read is both liberating - I can't possibly be blamed for not doing things correctly - but also frustrating; more so, that, really.

However, it looks like @Chekaz is about to release a new wallet that will render this discussion moot; or, at least, actually create a .conf file.

Thanks for your help once again; your tireless devotion is one of the reasons why I keep mining this coin even though the whole market appears to have taken way too much GHB and is now puking itself into oblivion... 

Like @TMAN, I also think your numbers are a little off, but in a different direction. It takes 10 merit to be a member and that gets you 15 base stakes, while it takes 100 merit to be a full member but that only gets you 30 base stakes. If the idea is to not unduly reward people who attained their rank by merely registering earlier and (shit or not) posting frequently then a better approach would be to increase the bonus from awarded merit as you go up in rank.

NB - I was contemplating a similar idea, but you beat me to the punch and, well, I can admit you did a better job of presenting your idea than I would have done. So you win by default, without even knowing there was a match on! 

Why are you in such a hurry to get DERO listed on bigger exchanges and coinmarketcap? Have you not noticed crypto is currently in the midst of a bear market right now? New companies pull their IPOs when the stock market is in bear/correction mode; the same strategy should be employed by new cryptos.

For an object lesson in what happens if you worry too much about getting listed on exchanges rather than developing your core technology look no further than Intensecoin (ITNS) which intends to make paying for a VPN service private. All cryptos are down a huge amount right now, but the drop is ITNS is breathtaking: it reached a peak of $0.09US on JAN-10 and now is $0.004, which is a 23x reduction in price. In contrast, the peak of $2.91US that DERO saw around the same time (which was the peak for most altcoins) was not real because DERO couldn't actually be traded - it was one of many times that stocks.exchange was not working - but even allowing $2.91 to stand the current price of $0.44 is about a 7x reduction. The peak price of DERO when it could actually be traded is closer to $0.75, which means the current price is a rather less dramatic ~2x reduction compared to the real peak.

To paraphrase an ancient Chinese curse: be careful what you wish for; you just might get it.

Sorry that wasn't clear - I meant PoW mining on a pool. When I posted this earlier it had not yet been a full 48 hours since I received the mining payment of 100.46 TZC; now slightly more than 48 hours have passed and my coin weight has finally started increasing (and inputs are 149, which is what I expected to see given I received one more payment).

Not a big deal, but my understanding is that new coins are added to your coin weight after 1 full day has passed, not 2. Hence why I posted this.

Aww, come on - snappy responses make life more interesting!

That said, thinking on this some more I wonder if the wrong console library was used to compile the new wallet, because copy-n-paste works exactly as it did back in Windows 7... Unfortunately I am an EE by profession, and my knowledge of C/C++ extends just past my ability to spell them correctly.

EDIT - coinwebmining reported for spamming/violation of this rule: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=718124.0

So, a couple of days ago I received another 100 TZC from mining but the weight and number of inputs reported in the Penrose triangle haven't changed (14855 and 148, respectively). I checked github to see if I missed a wallet update, but it's still the same version from 14-SEP-2017.

Nebulous and mercurial, this.
