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

[GintoniK]

Hello Harris,

You are the hero we got but we certainly don't deserve.

Thank you for taking over, thank you for doing so much work in such a short timeframe and without any silly announcement.

Thank you for even taking the time to write detailed posts that actually make sense.

Thank you for emphasizing what should and shouldn't be done when it comes to consensus rule changes.

Thank you for not getting triggered with some of us, zombies in here.

Out of curiosity only, how come you chose this deadcoin? is it only sentimental value of the 90ies?

Thanks for trying at least.

Hi, GintoniK

Too kind. But many thanks!  

Out of curiosity only, how come you chose this deadcoin? is it only sentimental value of the 90ies?

Thanks for trying at least.

I stumbled upon 8bit two years ago but I couldn't get in contact with the devs here. Actually, I don't even remember having tried it as the whole structure around the coin seemed very opaque to me. It wasn't clear who is doing what, what the responsibilities were, and what the actual plan was.

Also, the home page looked rather spartan.

All in all, it was too easy to give up at this point and so I moved on to other things.

And of course being a true 90es kid I would really like to work on a coin project related to the best decade of human history. Yes, I'm exaggerating here but that's the whole point of the 90es, isn't it?  

Currently, I am compiling the Qt framework for Windows and macOS in parallel.

Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to get the binaries, so that our 8bit can begin again.

Cheers,

Hi 8Bit fans,

The release v2.1.0.0 is now available for download (macOS & win32, linux can be compiled)

https://github.com/8bit-crypto/8bit-reboot/releases/tag/v2.1.0.0

Have fun!

[brakmic]

Hello again,

The new home page is live.

https://8bit.cash

I reserved the SLIP44 number 864 which we will later need when integrating 8Bit with Trezor Hardware Wallet.

https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/pull/604

More on SLIP numbers here: https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md

Our number 864 fits nicely with our theme, I think: 8bit + C64

[brakmic]

Sadly, I had to give up the number 864 and move up to 306, because they don't allow anymore to choose numbers individually but simply take the next one that's free.

Ok, nothing tragic as it will be invisible to users anyway.

Still running the "original" code, but chain should (hopefully) be the same

[Pavel1979]

Please give bootstrap on 04/26/2019.

Thanks for your work man!!
I was still running my node on Linux and i am Happy to have hodl my coins
I'll be Happy to list 8bit free on my platform when there will be a reliable blockexplorer live.
________________________________________________________________
www.Coinshoarder.net <-- feel free to ask to list other Coin if you like it. That's for masternode/pos/(future pow) control status, market overview and alert system on tx or node down on mail/Telegram/(future discord)

I will activate the explorer as soon as I have synced the complete chain. It would be nice if someone could upload the latest chain data. The one I am using is from Oct. 2018 and it will take long, long time to update.

So, the sooner someone posts a fully synced chain the sooner we will have an explorer.

It would help us a lot if you could make a copy of your chain data and upload it somewhere for example on MEGA.nz

Just so I'm sure I do it right, do we need just the blk0001.dat file, or do I need to include txleveldb folder as well?

All of them. database, txleveldb and blk0001.dat file.

Thanks!

Awesome! Many thanks!
Now I can also setup the explorer.
Will be located at https://explorer.8bit.cash

I have also contacted the CoinMarketCap team and given them the new source code repo and webpage. However, they want also the coin to be listed at two exchanges before they make it visible by default.

Well, it will take some time but it's doable.

[brakmic]

I have successfully synced with the chain data, 2xjO9M3P !

Many thanks.

Btw. I just saw that someone sent a donation to our project a few days ago. These are the perks of having a synced chain. 

Many thanks to the donor!

First, thanks brakmic for your work. I am sure it will be advantagous to 8bit that we again have a working wallet outside of Linux.

Tried to get the new code to compile, but so far I have not been successful.

Code:

g++ -c -O2  -pthread -Wall -Wextra -Wno-ignored-qualifiers -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -g -DBOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE -DUSE_SECP256K1 -I/home/username/compile/8bit-reboot/src -I/home/username/compile/8bit-reboot/src/obj -DUSE_UPNP=0 -DENABLE_WALLET -I/home/username/compile/8bit-reboot/src/leveldb/include -I/home/username/compile/8bit-reboot/src/leveldb/helpers -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -fno-stack-protector -fstack-protector-all -Wstack-protector -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2  -MMD -MF obj/chainparams.d -o obj/chainparams.o chainparams.cpp
chainparams.cpp: In constructor ‘CMainParams::CMainParams()’:
chainparams.cpp:89:45: warning: extended initializer lists only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11
         base58Prefixes[PUBKEY_ADDRESS] = {18};

When I get to chainparams I get a bunch of those extended initializer errors.

You're welcome.

The problem you have is your compiler. As the error message says you must have a modern C++ compiler (C++11 and upwards).

[brakmic]

I am currently moving the old Qt-project based compilation stuff to the much better and more flexible autogen/configure/make.

In future the compilation will be the same of any platform:

Code:

./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=qt5
./make

For now you will have to stick with the 8bit.pro Qt-project file.

I was able to successfully compile the daemon and there will also be a separate 8bit-cli so you, guys, don't have to (mis)use the daemon "8bitd" to execute console-based commands.

So, instead of, for example:

Code:

8bitd getblockbynumber

it will be:

Code:

8bit-cli getblockbynumber
