[*] 8BIT [Dark Masternodes][Anon][Roadmap Stage 4]

[Spidersbox]

• make sure you have called make clean / removed obj/ contents
• make sure you use correct 8bit head, I recommend bcf2b5f

Thanks - that worked.
had to roll back secp256k1 and 8bit, and copy a few files:
cp /usr/local/lib/libsecp256k1.* /usr/lib
cd src
mkdir obj
cp crypto obj/crypto -rR  (for file obj/crypto/hmac_sha256.d: No such file or directory)

Now I can add 8bit to my altcoinwarz.com site

I still have a ways to go in terms of formatting results and such, BUT, in it's most basic form, the block explorer is online and working (with the proviso that the wallet on my web server is still a day or two away from being fully synced at the moment... it's current block height is around 530000)

BUT, feel free to give it a shot!!! Block explorer is working here: http://8bitcoin.netspecto.com/explorer.php

Cheers!

(and looking forward to some feedback!)

Thanks allZuckedUp, I will keep an eye on your progress. Hoping this project can find additional support. Keep up the good work.

Great to see you back...I understand how life doesn't allow time for hobbies. Always willing to donate if we can get a plan together.

Can someone please fix this before Bittrex delists it?

No peers
Forked
Takes forever to sync
etc

Coin swap only.

[allZuckedUp]

Coin swap only.

Sorry, what?

[bitcrypto10101]

Coin swap only.

Am I right only 711,961 8BIT coins ?

[8-bit-Party]

Yes. What's the problem? With this code base and the blockchain bloated with tons of orphans there's not much you can do.

[allZuckedUp]

Well, I figured with the rest of the infrastructure strong (what I've been working on) and a strong community, we might be able to attract a new developer. 

I asked you to help me with the addnodes, as that would help somewhat with the speed and fork issues in the short term, both publicly and over PM, but you haven't responded... so there's that.

Annnnnd, while looking at this, the wallet powering the faucet and block explorer is corrupt, again... reloading the block chain, again... Ugh.

So, again, publicly and directly, 8-bit-party, you seem to be the only person left in the community with some C skills and understanding of the code the wallet is based on.  I'm interested in trying to save this, and I think I've shown that with my recent efforts. I don't care if we swap out for a new blockchain or fix the existing one, sooooo, can I get your help here? Can we put some effort into releasing a new wallet? Can we move this forward?  I'm not bagging on you, I want to work with you to make this work, that's what I keep asking for.... how about it?

[8-bit-Party]

To everyone with wallet up and running: what's your current height?

[allZuckedUp]

To everyone with wallet up and running: what's your current height?

At the moment, I'm running three wallets... But, unfortunately all three are reloading the blockchain, and all three are having difficulty finding hosts to connect to.. (thus the need to figure out some set addnodes)

1. 555558 (this is the wallet powering the block explorer and the faucet.)
    2 connections

2. 568480 (masternode)
    1 connection

3. 535004 (staking/regular node)
    2 connections

When the nodeXX.8-bit.party "addnodes" existed, I would average 10+ connections, and I'm guessing so did everyone else...

NOTE: The bootstrap.dat file downloadable on the new 8bitcoin website (http://8bitcoin.netspecto.com/downloads/bootstrap_dat.tar.gz) was generated by me, on the faucet/block explorer wallet in mid-late July, and has 530000'ish blocks in it.

So 8-bit-party, question... (and this is maybe the only part of the addnode thing I'm a little lost on) Soooo, maybe after 18 years in IT I'm overthinking this, BUT, besides masternodes, generally speaking, the wallets don't have a opened listening TCP port... Soooo, I can query all the nodes I want, but it seems the connection is actually set up some other way... (IRC?) If I were to generate a list of decent current nodes, so we can give some decent resources to pulling everyone's wallets back together, how did you do this?  I mean the DNS and such is actually pretty easy (even scripted/smart) BUT, how do you actually generate the list of good known hosts?

How much 8bit coins I need for run 1 master node ?

Thanks

[allZuckedUp]

How much 8bit coins I need for run 1 master node ?

Thanks

Just 112 coins.
Which at the current rate of exchange (Bittrex) is a whopping BTC0.00360632 satoshi.

Now, if we can only get our house in order to get things rolling on the exchanges again.

8BIT is the most underrated coin.

[allZuckedUp]

8BIT is the most underrated coin.

I COMPLETELY agree! That's why I've been trying to work with our remaining community members to put this coin back on top! (where it could totally belong!)

Bittrex  Wallet Maintenance ?

8-bit-party, can you help me figure out this addnode thing... so we can get everyone's wallets on the same page? (especially the exchanges) puhleeeeze? 


Even if there's nothing left in the future besides some kind of coins swap (something I'm fighting to avoid), even that doesn't work unless our collective wallets are on the same chain...

Soooo, the only thing I just don't get, is if every addnode I've seen is answering on port 18888, then it doesn't seem to be people's masternodes (at least not that port), and if most have NOT opened that port on their firewalls/routers/etc, how does this work from the client side of the connection?  what did you use to populate the 8-bit.party addnodes we used before the domain lapsed? Once again, I'll be happy to host this if needs be....

[8-bit-Party]

I have 20 connections at the moment... the problem is most of them are also resyncing. Some of them are also on the wrong chain. Once I collect a number of synced nodes I will publish them.

What's the problem with coin swap?

 I will easy buy all 711,961 8BIT coins at these price.
