Hey guys, step by step to install to Linux Mint, please.
Don't have one or have experience with Mint but perhaps it's like Ubuntu and for that i made a new guide to compile the wallet so perhaps it can be of any use. Maybe in the future i will make one but the time i can spend on Netcoin is very limited (and for free!) plus there is plenty of other things to do aswell. Is there a PPA for Netcoin?
I try to find one...
Yes there is just use the Bitcoin PPA but it's only for Ubuntu. Hey Netheads, we got a small update for Netcoin v2.5.2! https://github.com/netcoinfoundation/netcoin/releases We've updated openssl, added a checkpoint, removed old seeds, and did some code cleanup. Sorry its been so long but some of our devs have been busy in life as most of us do  Anyway we hope you guys enjoy our new update. its nothing much, but was some needed things done to our previous 2.5.1 and should be a bit more new-user friendly. Please look out for the next update we hope to be soon. As we continue forward into the future we look to your support. We want to remind everyone that Netcoin is a community supported coin, and all work done is for the coin and users best interest. There is no premine or bounty to support such. All work done is, and has been done by the community and TRUE Netcoin supporters or what is known as the Netcoin Foundation. Excellent, - the question is, purse netcoin-qt-2.5.2-64b, .... 0 active connections to the installed network? I'm waiting for your answer. Try adding addnodes in the netcoin.conf which can be found in the data folder (start->search->type: %appdata%/netcoin). Addnodes can be found on the github release page. https://github.com/netcoinfoundation/netcoin/releasesIf there are people that want to start a Slack channel/team please feel free to do so and i will atleast join. As i said the time we can spend is limited and for free also we have a Skype and Discord but Discord is the main channel and mostly used. |

Sorry for the delay but i released v2.5.1. This update will disconnect the older nodes and there will be a change to the PoS diff retageting after block 1345000. Please remove the addnodes in the conf file if there are any and delete the peers.dat. If you have issues connecting try these addnodes: addnode=84.105.200.241 addnode=89.154.0.37 addnode=50.107.86.75 addnode=68.224.238.173 addnode=83.240.176.25 addnode=73.214.14.51 If you shutdown the old wallet before block 1344639 you should be good and just sync up but after you need to remove the chain and redownload or use a backup/snapshot. I recently compiled the latest releases (tried tar.gz of v2.5 and directly cloning from git repo) on my Odroid U2 using Linaro Ubuntu (Berkeley DB 5.3.15, December 19, 2011). The first time I start the Netcoin daemon, everything is fine. But when I restart the Netcoin daemon using "./netcoind stop" (checking that it was stopped successfully using Linux CMD "ps") followed by "./netcoind", the Netcoin daemon is always crashing with the following exception: ************************
EXCEPTION: St13runtime_error
init_blockindex(): error opening database environment IO error: lock /home/odroid/.netcoin/txleveldb/LOCK: already held by process
netcoin in msghand
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): init_blockindex(): error opening database environment IO error: lock /home/odroid/.netcoin/txleveldb/LOCK: already held by process When I delete the entire content of the netcoin directory in "/home/odroid/.netcoin" and start the Netcoin daemon, everything works fine and the chain is synchronizing. Whenever I need to restart the Netcoin daemon, I'm getting the error described above, I need to delete the entire directory content in "/home/odroid/.netcoin" and I need to download the entire blockchain again. Other coins are working like a charm on my Odroid but not Netcoin, so I think it's a problem with Netcoin   Did the older Netcoin versions had this issue aswell or did it start after a certain update? Also see you are using Berkeley DB 5.3 Netcoin uses BDB 4.8 V2.5 is the first Version I tried on my Odroid. I compiled V2.5.1 today using BDB 4.8: odroid@odroid-server:/usr/local/bin$ grep DB_VERSION_STRING /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/include/db.h
#define DB_VERSION_STRING "Berkeley DB 4.8.30: (April 9, 2010)" Unfortunately, I'm still getting the error  Not sure why you having this issue and why it holds a process to be honest. I have a daemon running on Ubuntu 16.04 VM but works without error and i can't seem to reproduce it. Anyone else having this issue with the daemon? V2.5 is the first Version I tried on my Odroid. I compiled V2.5.1 today using BDB 4.8: odroid@odroid-server:/usr/local/bin$ grep DB_VERSION_STRING /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/include/db.h
#define DB_VERSION_STRING "Berkeley DB 4.8.30: (April 9, 2010)" Unfortunately, I'm still getting the error sorry folks maybe i'm goin full retard but how is that my win wallet is LDB (since v2.4), and your linux one is BDB ? is it supposed to be soo different ? odroid is a single board pc like a rasp pi isn't it? are these arm? i suspect that they haven't got the latest linux build as it should only be level db now not berkeley LevelDB and BerkeleyDB are 2 different things. LDB is used to store part of the chaindata and BDB is used as a dependency required by the code. Most newer coinbase coins have the option to build the daemon with disabled wallet then BDB isn't used but Netcoin doesn't have that feature yet so it needs both to compile. |

Yea sorry about that messed up with the win64 wallet been at it the whole night and was pretty much sleeping this morning when i updated the repo. Removed it already and put up a freshly build just now. The network forked already on block 1344640 not sure where the 2.5 is but the 2.5.1 is on block 1345002 so the change has just been activated. https://github.com/netcoinfoundation/netcoin/releases/tag/v2.5.1 |

Awesome that Netcoin is still listed on Bittrex. Thanks to all that made it possible. All we need to do now is maintain and build up that volume so it never get in danger of delisting again.
I will release a mandatory update next Friday on oct 14th that will disconnect all previous nodes also the v2.5 nodes!!!
I apologize for the inconvienence but this will be a fork again so i recommend to shutdown the wallet before the release on Friday and sync up after with the new wallet to avoid being on the fork and a complete resync of the chain.

Think i have fixed the staking on win10 issue. I was able to reproduce the issue on a win10 vm and got a test wallet running atm that staked without crashing. Only need comfirmation from others it is really fixed or not so please try out the test wallet and see if it works for you. http://www.mediafire.com/file/9nvupha4bpjyq0m/netcoin-qt-win10-test.7z |

Hey Netheads, Im still trying to figure out the win10 issue but it's a slow process for me  Im gonna release a update soon or even maybe tommorrow already. The update will disconnect the old nodes. I decided to go with a delayed bump of 5 days orso and give the network and people time to gather/update as much as possible. But there is a downside on the delayed bumb. After the bump has become active it disconnects the older nodes on initial connection only so all the updated wallets already connected to old nodes need to shutdown, remove the peers.dat and restart. Also i want to thank you guys for your help and support and im very gratefull to you all that you are still here. The delisting on bittrex couldn't come at a worse time now with the latest update. Didn't even had the chance to promote Netcoin and the 2.5 update so i really hope there will be enough volume to keep it there because it's crucial to have atleast one exchange with enough volume. As you probably all know already im new to this whole dev thing and i was just a community member who worked a bit on the code before untill i decided to try if i could update and maintain Netcoin in the mean time we where looking for another dev but that was without any luck. I spent really a awfull lot time in the code trying learning testing and failing ofcourse and i manged to produce the 2 updates. At first i was very scared to release the first but especially the second update and 2 forks i really considered not doing it but in the end i decided to just go for it and take the risk. Unfortunally there are 2 issues with the 2.5 update of which the win 10 issue really unexpected but the other was just my own error and now a learning moment. On the other hand considering the huge scale of the 2.5 update and the fact it had 2 forks i think the update went not really that bad and if i say so myself im pretty darn proud. I see improvements to the PoW hashrate but especially PoS diff. Also the 2.5 update had a lot of bitcoin core updates and more so it's should be much securer now and codewise more closer to other popular stakecoins like blackcoin. I did my very best to get Netcoin updated as much as possible and hopefully interesting enough to save it from a slow certain death but i can't do it alone and really need help to succeed. Netcoin is in desperate need of a community again and not just people in the background but really promoting it and especially trading to keep the volume up. So please people help Netcoin survive by promoting and trading it on bittrex to keep it listed. I know a lot of coins are slowly dying even the ones that where pretty popular not even a year ago but that is because there is no activity from a dev and Netcoin was a few months ago just like it. It was said a couple of times that a update was worked on but it took me way to long to release and most people didn't believe it or lost hope i guess and went on to other coins. Now i think i proved myself a bit and as long the coin has a chance and is getting a bigger/stronger community i will keep my doing my very best for them to get Netcoin updated and maintained but i can't do it without a solid community. |

Hey everyone, Didn't had time to really look into the win10 issue because of my normal job and only have a few hours to spend this weekend but i probably know more in a few days or next weekend. Feel free to investigate in the mean time and maybe find a fix. It would be muchly appreciated by the people owning this awesome staking coin and me ofcourse  |

Back to the previous situation  As soon as I unlock the wallet, it crashes because it tries to stake. This has nothing to do with the wallet.dat file because I created a new one. If this has to do with the size of my chunk of coins, it has to be fixed immediately. It doesn't make sense to split my stash in thousands of small blocks. The 2.4 wallet was working like a charm... Im trying to find out a solution for the issue as soon as possible and if it's caused by the size i not really understand why i stake with 19m and someone else with like 200k can't. I know the v2.4 wallet was working well but not much has changed since v2.3.1 so the code was very old still and the core really had the need for a upgrade. |

Hey all im really sorry you encounter all these issues and i apologize for that and to be honest im not really sure why some have this issue. Also hoped to reproduce it but i haven't so far and staking with 19m. That kinda sucks because i can't debug it myself or look for a solution. Also i know i failed to bring the news out earlier but to be honest i was really struggeling to release the update or not after update 2.4 because of the forks and when i decided to go for it in all the hectic i forgot this thread. already tested everything, just too many 2.3.1 yet, and presstab, i hope they'll soon update, nothing to worry
too little Führers of Cryptopia may j*** off until xmas, let them be happy
I knew the old connections would be a problem as it will take a long time before all the people have updated. There was even a 2.3.0 wallet running. I thought about it to bump the peer proto version aswell but wasn't really sure on that so i didn't which was perhaps another error on my side. Presstab is contacted but it seems he has issues syncing aswell. already tested everything, just too many 2.3.1 yet, and presstab, i hope they'll soon update, nothing to worry
too little Führers of Cryptopia may j*** off until xmas, let them be happy
i don't understand that last part... fuhrers of cryptopia may jerk off? let them be happy? what do you mean They are butthurt cause out NET wallet forked on 2.5, and now they think abusing us will fix it overnight. It was meant to fork on 2.5 i thought though.. so isn't that normal behavior. Or do you mean it didn't stay on correct chain? Our 2.5 went off on its own fork (twice), we are resyncing now and battling the abusive support tickets from NET users, never a dull moment. Again sorry for all the inconvenience that it has caused you but yes there where 2 forks in this update actually 3 if you count the PoW reward change on block 1296010. The first was with the PoW and the second was probably on block 1300000 or a few after. On that block a signature check became active but that should be the last one |

@IAmElemental
That depends on your PIR percentage. All the coin info and what PIR is can be found on the first page of this thread.

@alt19
Netcoin has normal checkpoints.
Estimate coins in 10 year is hard to say imo. It all depends on how many coins of the total supply are staking and PIR percentage.
Also end this year or begin next year the rewards change and there will be less coins generated. Highest level PIR (10m+) will drop 55%!!! but the lowest levels(less than 1m) gain 10%.

Nice very efficient and solid staking coin here with good devs.
Quick question. I sent some NET out and now the rest of my NET are in a different address than before the send. Why is that? Is that the way change works where the change, (which was my entire balance), was sent back and the wallet just created a new address automatically to put the "change" in instead of putting it back in the old address? What's the best way we should be doing sends if we want to keep 1 address?
Yes that is how the POS work because the old block has changed coins where removed so a new block needs to be created but not sure anymore why it creates a new adress. Best way imo to keep it all in one adress is in the send coins page you have the option to enable and specify a custom change adress. |

Anyway I deleted the peers.dat file and still same problem
Best is then to use the bootstrap from the forum and delete the content in application folder EXEPT the wallet.dat file and copy the content of the bootstrap in the application folder. Also I can't find a .conf file in the Application support in Mac.
That .conf file you need to create yourself( or if you prefer i can upload one for you) just copy the code that BigJohnson provided into a a new textfile and save it as netcoin.conf (not as .txt!) in the application folder. |

Is this normal? Looks like I miss a lot and don't know why?
It seems you had 2 blocks staking one big and one small and the big block staked 2 hours earlier but they should merge now that small one staked. Do you maybe know how to use coincontrol? Best is to confirm in coincontrol that there is only one block because it can sometimes happen there are more like when you send new coins to the wallet or after it staked it sometimes put them in a new block and you need to merge them manually to get the best PIR. You can merge them by sending the second block(s) (if it,s a different adres) or all blocks to yourself. Also a tip when coincontrol is active you have in send coins page a option to fill in a custom change adres. Put there your adres so when there is change it sends them to the correct adres |

It would be easier to help with your debug.log file
tepelstreeltje is one of our developers that does the mac clients.
Its OK I did get it working in the end late last night with my limited code skills. I AM STAKING AND IT FEELS AWESOME That's awesome nice one dude stake on  but im curious what was the issue and how did you fix it. Is it something i need to adress and prevent it for other Mac users? I might have a idea but im not sure before verified. |

new wallet then downloaded the block chain.. What do I need to put in from the download though? like the netcoin bootstrap blockchain file
Really wierd it stopped downloading the chain you use Mac right?I build the Mac wallet and had no issues. Can you maybe PM me the debug log so i can look in to it? You can find it in the NetCoin folder in application support. Just right-click finder then "go to folder" and paste this ~/library/Application Support/NetCoin. This is also the folder you copy the files of the bootstrap too. The instructions on how to use are in the bootstrap zip file. |

Now I get this after copying accross
A fatal error occurred. Netcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.
EXCEPTION: St13runtime_error
CDB() : can't open database file blkindex.dat, error 22
netcoin in Runaway exception
Hmmm wierd it should work what did you exactly do? Also did you download the wallet recently? |

what about 10 MIL?
10M will give you 100% annual so approx 50% or 27397.3 Net per day until the change then it will drop too 45% annual. There is a PIR calculator in the wallet where you can see the daily stake and % apr for a given amount. And also the coins come in your wallet after how long?
It takes 70 blocks to confirm so around 70 minutes. New coins start to stake after a hour but the confirming takes longer so coins start staking again when confirmed. Also can anyone sell a large amount to me please? Like 10 Mill for 20 BTC would be good.
Think you will have a hard time finding someone because 10m will put you on the 12th spot in the richlist and there are only 5 spots with more than 20m. But yah never know maybe you get lucky, think best chance you have is in cryptsy chatbox (my guess is cryptsy's Net wallet is 3th spot with 40m in it) |

great. thank you. but before trying that, i should sent my coins from the old wallet.. new problem: blocks do not sync ( since 3 days now.. ) {
"version" : "v2.3.1.0",
"protocolversion" : 70001,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"newmint" : 0.00000000,
"stake" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 541183,
"timeoffset" : -4,
"moneysupply" : 376340821.63015902,
"connections" : 12,
...
}
can somebody please give me new adresses for addnode? You don't need addnode can leave it blank had 12 connections. Also you don't necessarily have to send the coins to another adress, all you have to do is backup/extract the privatekey(s) of your Netcoin adress(es) (which i advise you to always do anyway and backup the wallet.dat aswell just to be safe). Backing up the privatekey you can do via the console help->debugscreen. For extracting the privatekey the wallet needs to be completely unlocked if your wallet is encrypted (NOT encrypted can skip this) so type in console: lockwallet walletpassphrase <your walletpassphrase here> 600 Now that the wallet is unlocked you can extract the privatekey by typing in the console: dumpprivkey <your Netcoinadress> !!! You need to do this for every single adress you want backed up and keep it safe because if someone got a hold of your privatekey they can steal your coins!!!! Importing the privatekey into the new wallet you can read in this thread previous page or on http://forum.netcoinfoundation.org/thread/814/guide-import-paper-wallet-privateMake sure you always have the wallet from a official source so or the Netcoin github https://github.com/netcoinfoundation/netcoin or the infosite http://netcoinfoundation.org/!!! |
