[ANN] Forknote - create your own Cryptonote network

[growarijo]

I am noob here.  While reading the config file i noticed the portion "Checkpoint" and it has something that looks like a UUID.  Can someone explain what it is for?

It's the hash that is linked to that block. So checkpoint=50000:rfqer5f4rer65e4qv5qe453er41qv31qer2vqeqerv1r3v2q13
Meaning block 50000 has hash rfqer5f4rer65e4qv5qe453er41qv31qer2vqeqerv1r3v2q13. It shoudl make the synchronisation faster but I don't see the performance gain.

Guys, we still have the 50000 DSH (~1500$ at post time) bounty for a Forknote GUI. Here are the requirements:

* Bytecoin Wallet clone (https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin-gui)
* Ability to add/edit/delete Forknote configs
* Ability to run multiple Forknote configs simultaneously
* Ability to do everything Bytecoin Wallet is able to do for every Forknote config
* Clear visibility of what networks are available and what networks are running
* Opensource (that's obvious, because of the Bytecoin wallet license)

That's about it.

Hi slb,

We are working hard on the wallet you are looking for. One thing is not clear to me.
When getting the Spend keys from the walletd for a specific address and importing them in simplewallet no balance is shown and the address created by the wallet is different as well.

I'm a little stuck here, would like to offer people to create a paper wallet somehow, but if this doesn't work, we can not offer that functionality.

Can you please explain how the import works and why the balance of my imported address is not in the new created 'imported' wallet.

Kr,
Olivier @ b2bcoin.xyz

Do you have any success in your GUI wallet?

Hi pokerdog99,

We are first creating the multi web wallet, after that we will integrate it in the GUI wallet, no it's under test periode for b2b coin :-)
We will keep you guys posted, you will here from us again.

I'm trying to setup a node but keep getting this:

Code:

I have the config file setup with seed nodes and I've removed the "seed-node=127.0.0.1:xxxxx" line. Any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

I am attempting to create a Forknote, but keep running into Errors. So at first I did not realize that the Blockchain and Seednode tutorials existed, as I started with the Cryptonote guides, then started using the Forknote Generator, but now I have found those guides.

I used this as the main guide
https://cryptonotestarter.org/inner.html

I used this to start the Compiling, but could not get the Coin to compile, and had to start creating swap space and everything.
https://cryptonotestarter.org/kb/build-environment-setup.html

Then I found the generator, which made the Forknote Create page make a lot more sense.
http://forknote.net/create/
https://github.com/forknote/cryptonote-generator

I used the Generator about 20 times, and created coins that would just sit looking for peers for eternity, before I realized these guides existed
http://forknote.net/guides/setup-private-blockchain/
http://forknote.net/guides/starting-seed-node/

And apparently from what I can find, Ubuntu does not use Upstart anymore, but I followed a guide to install upstart, and it didn't change anything.


Here is my Config file (at this point this is kind of just a test coin, this is not the name of the coin I planned on launching, so if someone here uses this config file to make a coin for people here, I will still share it, and that is fine. I just want to know how to make a Config file that looks like this, work properly as a coin that can then go through the GUI Wallet Guide on the Cryptonote Foundation website.

I've setup 2 nodes with premine that are running and in sync. Whenever I try to access one of the premine addresses, I get this, and the wallet freezes, notice the "help" and "exit" commands. When creating a new wallet it works without any errors but still freezes.

Forknote seems to work fine, however if there is only one node running I've noticed it never says "ERROR   Failed to connect to any of seed peers, continuing without seeds" it just waits for a connection. Help would be appreciated.

I know theres a problem with the genesis block. "Failed to load: genesis block hash does not match stored state"

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. When creating a premine coin, you need to create the .conf file first in order to create the wallet for the premine coins, but to create the wallet you need the .conf file. Do I leave the "Addresses for the premined coins" blank to create the addresses, then fill in for printing the genesis trans hex?

@ slb

Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? These are the steps I've taken so far.

Step 1: I have 2 VPS's one is ubuntu 16.04 and one is 16.10. Both have Forknote .tar.gz downloaded and extracted.

Step 2: On my personal computer (ubuntu 16.04),I used http://forknote.net/create/ to create a premine coin1.config file. This coin1.conf file does not have any wallet addresses, but includes the genesis tx hex created by the "Create Cryptonote blockchain" form.

Step 3: Before creating the blockchain, I create the premine wallet addresses using the coin1.conf file created in step 2. I use the "Creating simplewallet addresses" instructions from here: http://forknote.net/guides/setup-private-blockchain/

Step 4: I create a new coin2.conf file, using the Forknote form http://forknote.net/create/, this includes the addresses created in step 3 and a new genesis tx hex created by the "Create Cryptonote blockchain" form.

Step 5: I setup both nodes using coin2.conf following the steps here: http://forknote.net/guides/starting-seed-node/

Step 6: I create-the-blockchain/start-the-daemon on my personal computer using coin2.conf. At this point I get "2017-Dec-24 05:03:42.104763 WARNING [95.183.52.40:39431 INC] Exception in connectionHandler: TcpConnection::read" on the first node before the other node is on, once the other node is on it syncs up.

Step 7: I open a new terminal on my personal computer and run

Code:

./simplewallet --config-file configs/coin2.conf

This is where the problem is, I get

Code:

user@computer ~/forknote-linux $ ./simplewallet --config-file configs/coin2.conf

It seems you are trying to open a wallet that it is not built for that block chain or at least it was built from  an older one.
If you have the private and spend keys, you may try to import the wallet with a new one name.
If you do so, compare the addresses generated before with this last one. It should be the same, if not!, then you have a problem

Guys, we still have the 50000 DSH (~1500$ at post time) bounty for a Forknote GUI. Here are the requirements:

* Bytecoin Wallet clone (https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin-gui)
* Ability to add/edit/delete Forknote configs
* Ability to run multiple Forknote configs simultaneously
* Ability to do everything Bytecoin Wallet is able to do for every Forknote config
* Clear visibility of what networks are available and what networks are running
* Opensource (that's obvious, because of the Bytecoin wallet license)

That's about it.

Hi slb,

We are working hard on the wallet you are looking for. One thing is not clear to me.
When getting the Spend keys from the walletd for a specific address and importing them in simplewallet no balance is shown and the address created by the wallet is different as well.

I'm a little stuck here, would like to offer people to create a paper wallet somehow, but if this doesn't work, we can not offer that functionality.

Can you please explain how the import works and why the balance of my imported address is not in the new created 'imported' wallet.

How is this coming along?

About the paper wallet, still waiting for news from slb, he doesn't answer my question on how to export/import spend keys ...

For walletd: you can import with createAddress;  you can export with getSpendKeys. More info here:
https://wiki.bytecoin.org/wiki/Bytecoin_RPC_Wallet_JSON_RPC_API

For simplewallet:
To export: use export_keys command
To import: use "I" when open the wallet. There still is no function to import with inline arguments

I am looking for people to test our new webwallet. If someone wants to participate, please PM me.

Guys, we still have the 50000 DSH (~1500$ at post time) bounty for a Forknote GUI. Here are the requirements:

* Bytecoin Wallet clone (https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin-gui)
* Ability to add/edit/delete Forknote configs
* Ability to run multiple Forknote configs simultaneously
* Ability to do everything Bytecoin Wallet is able to do for every Forknote config
* Clear visibility of what networks are available and what networks are running
* Opensource (that's obvious, because of the Bytecoin wallet license)

That's about it.

Hi slb,

We are working hard on the wallet you are looking for. One thing is not clear to me.
When getting the Spend keys from the walletd for a specific address and importing them in simplewallet no balance is shown and the address created by the wallet is different as well.

I'm a little stuck here, would like to offer people to create a paper wallet somehow, but if this doesn't work, we can not offer that functionality.

Can you please explain how the import works and why the balance of my imported address is not in the new created 'imported' wallet.

Hi slb,

Last question, can I use the exported keys from walletd in simplewallet ?
