Ufasoft Coin - Multi-currency Open Source client for Windows

[ufasoft]

If most coins work in the same general way (in regards to the client -- I'm not familiar with programming too much) could you implement a sort of module-type system, such that someone can just add a file in, like "doge.coin" that would hold the parameters needed to parse DOGE's database? Not sure if I'm explaining this well enough but basically a way to quickly allow everyone to add their own coins to the client.

It is possible.
You can edit file coin-chains.xml  to add your own currency if it uses one of supported algorithms: SHA256, SCrypt...

But each real crypto-currency has some differences which can be expressed in C++ only.

Thank you. What are the New Features of 0.112 and 0.113 in the ufasoft dot com slash files folder?

[ufasoft]

Mostly bugfixes

But we advice to wait for 0.120
with improvement of database format and new currency support.

I hope it's not another change of database format. I do not want to download the blocks again. I still have version 0.112 running and it is extremely stable

If you dont want to redownload use 'Bootstrap' DB format
Just copy Bitcoin  bootstrap.dat to
%APPDATA%\Ufasoft\Coin\BTC\BTC.bootstrap.dat


The client will reindex it without downloading anything

New version 1.19 is available:
https://github.com/ufasoft/coin/releases

GitHub page info is more uptodate.
Number of supported currencies is decreased.

The website ufasoft.com/coin  is still working, but may be unavailable from some ISPs blocking access (e.g. in Russia)

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone still has one of the early versions of this program that would let you use a wallet.db from August 2012. I have no idea if it has anything inside but I just wanted to try and see since I still have the full roaming folder on my old Windows 7. ufasoft_coin_0.33.exe would be the installer, but it could be any version that accepts an old wallet file, the current version doesn't load with it. Thanks

I don't have such installer, but i have few suggestion for you.
1. Make sure to backup all relevant files.
2. Their own forum returns "500 Internal Server Error". But their main website still run properly, so you may want to email them.

And looking at NEWS file on their GitHub, it seems 0.38 was the first mentioned/documented version.

I was able to find this using Wayback Machine. But if you try to download the 0.33 version, you get a message that the file has been removed from the site because that release had some bugs. The link to the source code redirects and doesn't work either.

However, Wayback Machine has achieves of the page for the 0.33 source code (http://ufasoft.com/files/ufasoft_coin-0.33.tar.xz).
Try this:

Code:

https://web.archive.org/web/20121001000000*/http://ufasoft.com/files/ufasoft_coin-0.33.tar.xz

The earliest archive is from September 2012. It redirects to and downloads version 0.34, though.

See if that will help.

It's interesting to see how quickly you need to adapt to new coins taking over the crypto space - with all their different details on how their transactions work - to avoid your software becoming obsolete.

All the coins in the OP are dead except for BTC and LTC.

It's quite brutal out there.

I just download and extract that file, but there's no docs/guide to compile it manually. So comping the software could be a nightmare if guide from GitHub repository (which meant for latest version) doesn't work.

Edit: Source code 0.34 provide Makefile, but i can't compile it on Debian 12.

I agree, although some of those altcoin are fork of Bitcoin without much modification on address/TX creation.
