[ANN] ECC

[Griffith]

Hi Griffith,
   nice that you are still working here on eccoin.

there was a small edit on the newest commits that resulted on an error compiling the eccoin source on ubuntu.

Code:

src/qt/qtipcserver.cpp: In function ‘void ipcThread2(void*)’:
src/qt/qtipcserver.cpp:107:23: error: ‘Sleep’ was not declared in this scope
             Sleep(1000);
                       ^
make: *** [build/qtipcserver.o] Error 1

"sleep" in lower-case and everything was fine.

windows uses Sleep
ubuntu uses sleep

kinda a pain XD

ill define a sleep function so it doesnt do that in the future

[Griffith]

adjusted to defined sleep function
removed message debug prints to log file. you can enable them with messagedebug=1

a while back someone mentioned to me that having MIN_TX_FEE as an int64_t would be 0 since it is set to 0.1 right now and ints cant have decimal places.

i decided to go back and look at this and noticed that the fee is never actually 0. there are some lines of code within the create transaction itself that make the fee more than 0, however i will fix this min fee before the next update as well.

i dont want to redo a large section of the code, so i will probably be changing it to 1

Sounds fair, no point in wasting time on it if you don't have to.

ok, i added all the changes to the next version that i had planned to with one or two extras. i will post the change log and adjust some version stuff and then put up wallet releases before the weekend

new version will be 2.4.7.2

you must update before November 11th 2016. that is when the min tx fee change goes into affect, this will be the LAST mandatory update for a while. everything past this should be voluntary (this one was supposed to be voluntary until i decided to adjust min_tx_fee)

considering putting in a PoS raise at the same time the min_tx_fee change goes into affect. thoughts?

will also probably be removing some junk files that no longer apply to the coins future dev path.

will announce when the last change before 2.4.7.2 is officially made

Thanks.. looking forward to new wallets.

[Griffith]

windows and debian based linux wallets for ECC are on the OP, dont use the website anymore. im replacing that very soon with one i have been working on for quite a while

OSX wallet will probably be 24 more hours

[Griffith]

i believe the fixed PoS min stake days has kicked in now, indicated by the raise in difficulty on the BE.

i will be contacting them and bleutrade to update the source today

[Griffith]

you must upgrade to version 2.4.7.3 or higher by november 11th or you will be on a bad fork

[kiklo]

Nice Update and New ECC Splash Screen 

Thanks.

FYI: The link in the OP under "Wallets:" still points to the old (2.4.7.0) version.

this ANN might be old but i guess it is still needed to be translated into other languages to get the attentions of some non-english traders and investors as well, on that case, i can do the Filipino translation for a bounty.

We need to get ECC on bittrex...
Any ideas to gain some attention?

Huh??
I downloaded it, when it was announced, but it says in the wallet info 2.4.7.3
Are you sure that it points to the old wallet version?
P.S.: I downloaded the one for windows x64.

removed that link. its under the ECC Wallet download section that is specifically posted.



2.4.7.3 works but has a message flooding error. its not a critical error and wont cause the wallet to do anything odd except use a bit more CPU power than it should (doesnt affect memory). i will fix that and post an optional update for those who want it. the importance of 2.4.7.3 was that it contains a min_tx_fee change which is a mandatory update.



someone recently told me to put in an auto update feature into the wallet. so i will be doing that as well. 2.4.7.4 will contain this auto updating feature.

auto update on gui:
-it will prompt you to update upon start. it wont just do it by default. you can set it to "just do it" in the config file.
-if there is a new version released and your wallet is already running. it will put a message on the bottom of the wallet to let you know that there is a new version.
-it will automatically start after auto update

auto update on daemon:
-you will have to pull source and recompile this on your own.
-there will be an option to have it echo blast to all system terminals that there is a new version and that your should update the source


OSX: waiting on 2.4.7.4 to put out an OSX version as i was having trouble with it for 2.4.7.3 anyway

bleutrade might not be the biggest exchange, but they have been very nice and easy to work with. always respond to me within 48 hours. do you think it needs more exchanges right now?

If you want I have the 2.4.7.3 for OSX up and running

I think that rather than just more exchanges, a way to actually use the coin in commerce is what's needed. If it exists only as a medium of exchange from crypto to fiat and back then there's a bazillion coins that can do the same thing. Put it this way: if you had to describe the point of ECCoin to someone who is unfamiliar with it, how would you differentiate it from BTC or any of the others?

once a few of the remaining bugs are fixed, we can look into this
