Renewed http://www.datacoininfo.org for another year. If anyone would like to go through the site with me to remove dead links / update content and add new links then PM me and we will get it sorted. 👏 I'm down

The Apertus.io browser is able to serve up websites that have been stored on the Datacoin blockchain. It is also able to browse the rest of the Internet.
In a sense then Datacoin already has a DNS system embedded in and interpreted by the Apertus browser. Both the browser and the coin can be run independantly of ICANN, so when these two pieces of software work together we already have websites that cannot be seized, controlled or shut down.
It would be nice indeed if there was broader adoption of the Apertus.io browser. A version cross compiled for Linux and Mac would also be nice.

Excellent. Yes, it seems Apertus relying on IE frames to do the browsing is what's causing most of the incompatibility with other platforms.

I had berkeleydb 4.8 installed but it turns out I had to remove -levent_pthreads. So my configure command is now: ./configure --with-gui=yes CPPFLAGS="-fPIC" LIBS="-lgmp -lboost_timer -lprotobuf" But now it seems I've got a problem with zmq? I'm using zeromq-4.3.1-2 CXXLD datacoind /usr/bin/ld: libdatacoin_server.a(libdatacoin_server_a-pool.o): in function `PrimeWorker::InvokeExitCheck(_zloop_t*, zmq_pollitem_t*, void*)': ~/source/datacoin-core/src/madpool/pool.cpp:124: undefined reference to `zmsg_recv'

@extro can I ask, what are in these directories? LDFLAGS="-L/home/veter/dbbin/lib/" CPPFLAGS="-fPIC -I/home/veter/dbbin/include/" I'm trying to build my config command and I don't understand what these are referencing.

Huh. Thought I had czmq installed but I didn't. Currently fighting: /usr/bin/ld: libdatacoin_server.a(libdatacoin_server_a-miner.o): in function `__gmp_expr<__mpz_struct [1], __mpz_struct [1]>::__gmp_expr()': /usr/include/gmpxx.h:1488: undefined reference to `__gmpz_init'

Having a bit of trouble with @gjhiggins' build. Anyone get it running? I'm getting pages of errors on the make step from madpool/protocol.pb.h and madpool/protocol.pb.cpp, starting with CXX madpool/libdatacoin_server_a-protocol.pb.o In file included from madpool/protocol.pb.cpp:5: madpool/protocol.pb.h:17:2: error: #error This file was generated by an older version of protoc which is 17 | #error This file was generated by an older version of protoc which is | ^~~~~ madpool/protocol.pb.h:18:2: error: #error incompatible with your Protocol Buffer headers.

Please | ^~~~~ madpool/protocol.pb.h:19:2: error: #error regenerate this file with a newer version of protoc. 19 | #error regenerate this file with a newer version of protoc. | ^~~~~
Build process was: $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure $ make I have libprotoc installed, version 3.7.0.

If the code is forked, it shares the cloneparent's history - and, rather importantly, can be upgraded from upstream contemporary changes.
Datacoin does its data biz by adding a data field to the standard transaction. Namecoin does its name biz by looking at OP_RETURN data. The two variants do not interact so might well co-exist, which lends some support for extro1's earlier conjecture as to the possibility of adding Namecoin domains to Datacoin.

It would seem necessary to include here the same admonition as I made to extro1: "I'd be insane to even appear to be taking responsibility for its correct functioning." The code is in a personal repository and has not been released, so I repeat: I'd be insane to even appear to be taking responsibility for its correct functioning.. Cheers Graham This said, would you mind doing a quick overview of your changes and where that puts us in terms of a roadmap, or at least your goals? Could help others find a way to contribute  Could you identify any other prospective things the community could be doing to help? Many of us want to help but since it's hard to keep track of where we're at and where we're going it's hard to tell what needs doing.  For example, is anyone here a mod/admin of /r/datacoin? That sub could use some cleaning up. I'd gladly mod it and do it myself.

Not that I know of. What did you have in mind?
-extro
I was thinking something like Namecoin dns -> ?? (something to track DTC nodes?? maybe ETH contract??) -> Website data on DTC blockchain. I've been trying to think of ways to leverage DTC lately and it seems like it could be used for a completely decentralized, completely anonymous website?
|
|
|
Agreed. I am actively buying.
-extro
 Are there any successful recent examples of hosting a website on DTC blockchain?
|
|
|
Am I correct?
Makes sense to me.
|
|
|
Are there any current tutorials for gpu mining on Linux?
|
|
|
Does Apertus work for Linux yet?

Hi guys,
How do you think, why should someone prefer Datacoin, if there are already Sia, Storj and (?) Filecoin probably? Could you please explain what are interesting things around DTC in technical aspect now?
Those coins are specifically set up as "coin drives". That is not really what Datacoin is aiming for. We are simply a coin with 128kB of data storage available in every transaction. Users can make with that what they will. In time many uses will be found for those 128kB. -extro Aren't transactions chainable into larger files? Was that ever implemented? I could have sworn I saw larger files on the DTC blockchain a long time ago..

Wow that's pretty brazen. There's no way they wouldn't already know about Counterparty at least, the fuckers. Make sure this is posted in Counterparty slack!
|
|

Wow those are some clean commits, me gusta.
|
|
|
What's the most active branch/fork of the DTC repo?
|
|

Hi Ben, Thanks for asking! DEV, Datacoin have ICO?  Do the next best thing, pickup some on BTCPOP before the few available at a low cost are all gone. Best Regards, -Chicago Is BTCPOP legit? It seems more like a loan site than an exchange and doesn't show exchange publicly which makes me skeptical.

Datacoin already exists and is still alive in the shadows. Maybe you should work with the Datacoin community? There are still quite a few dedicated supporters remaining.
