Does anybody happen to have the "round logo" version of the SecureCoin logo?  Looking for something around the size of 100px by 100px.

edit: disregard that, I'm an idiot.

I think I might be done with an actual block explorer if anybody's interested.  Still trying to work out a few kinks, but it seems okay so far.

I've basically taken Abe and butchered it.  I still need to integrate the Securecoin hashing algorithm, but it seems to work well enough by ignoring any "invalid" hashes (because Abe is using sha256 instead of what Securecoin uses).

If it goes well, I'll upload the SQLite database tonight.

Where's that scan from?  I'd be curious about the "info" section on Dr. Web.

VirusTotal says it's clean when you use the direct IP, but it doesn't like the *.servebeer.com domain because it's dynamic DNS.

Edit: Looks like I'm right.

Edit2: Found your scanner URL.  Same detection based on No-IP domain:
http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/notreallyarealsiteipromise.servebeer.com/

Well, it's hosted at DigitalOcean and it's just a slightly-modified version of Block Crawler, so I can't imagine why it's angry.  Did Avast block the entire DigitalOcean IP range?

It's a dynamic DNS service (no-ip), so that's probably why.

If you want direct, use http://192.241.177.5/

Well, I hacked together a working Block Crawler if anybody is interested.  It's hosted on a low end VPS, so PLEASE DO NOT BOT IT.
This is just a test run, so don't expect amazing things.


http://src.servebeer.com/

or, if your AV doesn't like DDNS domains:

http://192.241.177.5/


Donations are appreciated though.

Oh my god I love you.  That's so much better than what I came up with.  I literally disabled all the sanity checks in the code.

Yeeeeaaaaahhhh.....

Well, I'm almost done making a blockchain browser for SecureCoin.  I just have one thing standing in my way: implementing the hash algorithm in Python.

Anybody have any experience porting C++ to Python?

I'm currently playing around with Abe at the moment.  I think I might be getting somewhere with it (currently importing the blocks and transactions).

I tried so hard* to get MySQL setup, then I realized it supports SQLite.  I feel like a terrible person, but it's better to have a working example than nothing at all.
I may post the SQLite database when it's done loading.


*: Turns out that using XAMPP for MySQL doesn't play well with using Python/Abe under Cygwin.  I'm sure this will be much easier on Ubuntu.

Have you received any coins or successfully mined a block with that wallet?

~/myinfo only shows an address if it's received coins in some way or another, so if your balance has always been a flat 0, it won't return anything.

So... do we have a blockchain explorer yet?

I feel like some of the folks here owe mtrlt some apologies for getting their pitchforks out...

Hey baritus:

Could you release a compiled client with 1) UPNP enabled and 2) includes "securecoind"?

I like to automate things on my main box, but I'm too lazy to set up a JSONRPC client.  (It's a personal problem, really)

---

Edit: Eh, nevermind.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_(JSON-RPC)#Command_line_.28cURL.29

I'll just use cURL via Cygwin.

It's also probably worth taking a look at your router settings if you're behind one.  If you have to, set your main box as the DMZ.

I've got Securecoin working fine on both 2 desktops and a laptop, all running Windows 7.  The laptop took a while to catch on (about an hour), but it was fine after that.

My recommendation: stop fiddling with it.
Delete your peers.dat, modify your securecoind.conf to include "gen=1", then start primecoin and check on it in the morning.

Huh, this is... odd?


First, 70 blocks in ~60 minutes.
Then 23 blocks in ~50 minutes?

Bad luck, or did a pool crap out?

Have you tried deleting your "peers.dat" file and trying again?

Node lists become obsolete quite quickly, but you can usually add pools as nodes to good effect.
If having "addnode" lines in your .conf files doesn't help, I'd recommend manually entering a few nodes via the debug window using "addnode IPADDRESS add".  I've found that gives it the jump start that's needed.

Lastly, you can try adding "dns=1" and "dnsseed=1" to your .conf

That would be github running into problems.  They get hit with DDoS attacks fairly frequently.

You have two options: rerun the script as a whole, or just rerun the rebuild and run scripts:
~/stop-securecoind; ~/build-securecoin; ~/start-securecoind

Sign up at a pool like http://src.coinmine.pl/, then grab your API key.
Then just query http://src.coinmine.pl/index.php?page=api&action=getpoolstatus&api_key=KEY

Hate building your VPS nodes manually?  Wish you could just copy paste them?  You can!

(Note: this guide is for DigitalOcean only.  Other providers like Linode also offer a cloning system, although a bit more complicated.)

---

Step 1: Build a node using the latest version of the setup script.  If you've built the node previously, you might want to rebuild it.  Older versions didn't include a "run at startup" routine which is required for this guide to be useful.

---

Step 2: Once you have your node configured, shut down the mining software gracefully.  The command should be like ~/stop-something

---

Step 3: Shut down your Droplet from the droplet screen.  Only do this once you're sure you've completed step 2 correctly.

---

Step 4: Once the node has shutdown, create a snapshot of the node in it's powered-off state.  Give the snapshot a name (although it's not terribly important).

---

Step 4.5: Your snapshot process should now start.  It can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, so be patient.

---

Step 5: This step is optional.  If you wish to clone your node to regions besides the one your parent node was in, you'll need to distribute the snapshot.  It can take anywhere from 3 to 15 minutes to complete.  Doing this allows you to make a snapshot in NewYork and clone it to SanFrancisco or Amsterdam.  This can be good for diversifying your node locations.

---

Step 6: Create a new Droplet and give it a name.  Select the node type you'd like to build, then scroll all the way to the bottom.  Don't click Create yet!

---

Step 6.5: Select a region for your node.  If you skipped Step 5, it must be the same region as "parent" node.
Instead of selecting an operating system, click the "My Images" tab and select the image you created in Step 4.

---

Step 7: Congratulations!  You've cloned a node!  As soon as it comes online, it should automatically begin mining.
Please note that your new node has a different password!  You'll need to check your email address to find out what it is.  Feel free to change the password by logging in and running the passwd command.

---

Note: You can only have so many Droplets running at one time.  To see how many you can create, click the gear button at the bottom left.
Be sure to check your Droplet limit regularly!  The longer you're a customer, the more nodes you can have running at once.

Depending on what graph you're looking at, it may be the moving average.
*nix is really, really strange with things like that.

I'd check the process listing with "ps fu" or "ps aux" and verify it's using 100% like it should be.
