Well, it's failing to find nhz.peer.Peers. That could point to any number of things really, but my thoughts basically line up to redownloading the software. There's no files to save, just remove and start again, then set your hallmarks again if you need to.

Have you checked that your Ubuntu is definitely using Java 7 - we did find some issues with running Java 8 on some setups.

If you've already taken some steps, please detail them so we can rule as much out as possible.

Awesome, gonna grab some now! Thanks for all your hard work Rumhurius!

Hey guys, I'm the staff member who packages Ubuntu builds. The libdb4.8++ packages are used for full backwards compat, as is part of the Bitcoin standards. You can get the packages from the Bitcoin PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin

I'd help more if I had any more experience in Windows, but I'm a Unix guy. The nodes are far easier implemented as servers in the cloud.

Yeah port forwarding is different for all vendors and sometimes even within a vendor. Really irritating if you don't know the protocols.

You shouldn't have to do anything on the modem, as it's just the external connection, although I couldn't speak for any outside the UK.

If you have 7774 forwarded to the local IP address of your computer, AND your local computer's firewall has the port opened, it should be good to go.

Important to note that you also need a static external IP address. If you don't, you may never receive a payout as the hallmark is tied to your IP, and has to be detected for over 24 hours straight to be eligible for one. You can rent DigitalOcean droplets for $5 a month that it will run fine on, and they're currently paying a little over that per node at this price I think.

Opening a port is opening it on your router
Forwarding a port is forwarding an open port on your router to your desktop
Triggering a port is something wholly more complex and my advice is to ignore it if you don't fancy jumping down the networking rabbit hole ;-)

Yeah, there's a lot of confusion with next gen cryptocurrency clients. Something we have to work on over time.

There is no such thing as a "wallet file", so there cannot feasibly be any way of creating an offline wallet. The accounts require securing once you log in by publishing your public key to the blockchain (issuing a transaction), so having a purely offline wallet doesn't make sense due to this either, as your account would not be totally secured if you were to deposit funds into it. The password system actually hooks you directly into the blockchain, and gets your balance information from it.

This means that you only ever have to safely store your password. Your computer could go up in flames and you'd never lose access to your accounts while you still have it.  You can access the client securely from any PC on any operating system - although obviously normal operational security applies - e.g., don't use a computer you don't trust not to be infected with viruses or keyloggers.

To open ports on your router, check out this site: http://portforward.com/

You don't need to forward the ports if you're not planning on running a hallmarked node though. And the wallet does have UPnP, so you shouldn't need to unless you're planning on opening up the service as a public API node at least.

EDIT: I think there has been some confusion, as you've been pointed to the port checker. You shouldn't NEED it, but if the wallet won't work without it then use portforward.com

Ask away with any questions you have, totally understood that it takes some learning to get used to using these Java based next gen cryptos.

Very low spec. The $5/month VPS nodes from DigitalOcean are easily powerful enough for a single node each. The real prerequisite is that you have a static public IP addres, or at least a very stable connection that only changes when your router restarts. Note that we changed the payout from 666 per day to 1 million each day distributed equally to all nodes.


Actually the main part of the coins that have not been distributed yet are still held at Poloniex, so this is still the case.

We have dev work, an experienced crypto team all of whom are known members on here and a bright future. Newbie troll FUD accounts are of no import to us at all. Ignored so we can concentrate on more important jobs. I suggest others do the same. We all know the drill here on BCT.

Yes, I used it just earlier today, and after 5 or 6 confs it appeared on there. There's a DB update timer that goes and checks the blockchain for new deposits.

Use the same BTC address :-) You can keep topping it up.

Parallel sounds infinitely less complicated so +1 from me on that. The time I think needs to be considered carefully as you rightly state. Too easy to end up in some kind of CypherFUNK gold rush, and I'm not certain of the effect that could have mid/long term.

Given that it's going to be such a simpler system to manage on top of XDP or whatever token issuance tool is chosen, I think it's important that thoughts into the applications which will leverage the token are put in pretty soon - the development of these now becomes far more a core process than the management of the token itself. They *are* the token's success.

I hugely agree with the idea of going with some kind of token over a full blown coin. The amount of work just managing the most basic features of a cryptocoin is insane, and the time I feel is better spent developing the social features than constantly battling all the economic issues brought by PoW and PoS cryptos.

I'd urge going with Dogeparty or ClearingHouse as their block times are so significantly different to Bitcoin. I'm not certain of my reasoning, so it definitely warrants discussion, but I think a fast, sleek transactional system based around an issued token is a much much better idea to consider, and will free up developer time to work on the most important side of things - the social stuff. Not least of all because devs won't constantly have to be firefighting crypto douchebags trying to instamine or otherwise ruin an amazing venture.

I think of the two (XCH/XDP), XDP makes more social sense.... 24s vs 60s block times will make no real difference in the big scheme of things, and the social ethos of FUNK has very much been in keeping with the Doge mentality.

Very much on board Simon, good thinking. The tokens can be incentivised in so many ways, too - people can sell them for Doge, other assets... They can buy them to activate in-app features, to tip musicians... Nothing apart from some of our algo work will go to waste, and honestly that stuff was needlessly complicated and only being put in place to avoid nefarious instaminers... On top of that, probably wouldn't even work... We know how a large amount of this scene behaves by now.

Such sound! Very music!

IIRC Architect said that there will be NO nodes available until the end of ICO. Totally fair, and a very sensible choice given that no transactions can possibly occur on the network yet. This avoids there being 3 weeks of potential non-stop hack attempts.

None of us need nodes because there is nothing to synchronise

I haven't. I've been supporting you for a long time. Listen to your investors more. Done with you.

I've held loyally for a long time and helped where possible, but I just sold... I'm not seeing anything that makes me think positively at all about the team. The tech's great, but the professionalism is purely nonexistent. Sorry guys, too much

Not at all urgent. I'm not wanting the wallet software early, just offering a replacement supernode if their current guy doesn't get back to them in time.

If you need someone to run a high bandwidth node I can probably help.

I guess that's fair! Long as you organise 24h support if you issue any hard forks in the future...

Another update at 2am in the EU? Can't say I'm thrilled but I'm still with you for now...
