Great step forward, well done!

2222 SOIL sent.

An interesting opportunity to get to know the sourcecode better. Any hints how to approach it?

Not really. I've just compared what was changed in the past and I have a good idea now what was done.

Have you compared soilcurrency's approach to fork from the base ETH code; how it was done with the current wallet that we all are using?

Yes. IMHO changes were made on an older geth fork.

Your commit history looks like you've started with original ETH code (last commits from obscuren and karalabe are March 3rd 2016), and then you began to adapt that to SOIL - right?

Yes, I made changes on the geth code with help of the history I found in the soilcurrency repo.

Trying to understand. "Homestead" is this one. So you are forking from the orginal ETH code around March 3rd 2016 - correct?
What makes "Homestead" so special to put that as the starting point?

correct
It was just fun for me and this project never reached Homestead - so why not begin with Homestead :-)


Thanks for your donation!

Hi,
what is the status of this coin, is there any working pool, nodes/wallet?

Hi guys,

I went through the forum posts and I like this project. I made the soil source code Homestead ready with all the benefit. Just for me to learn. If you are interested in my work let me know.
https://github.com/martymcfly2015/go-soil
I'm happy to build binarys for you to test. Just let me know.

well done!
i have problems to compile it under linux

Yes thank you, I had to fix the Makefile.

basic porting review of martymcfly2015's code

... I hope I can read your code, perhaps next week(end). An interesting opportunity to get to know the sourcecode better. ... Great step forward, well done!

I've gone through parts of the files that you had edited, from commit 9838e32 to commit 0371967.
Not a complete overview, definitely. But I now understand it a bit better.

And I have found some lines you might want to think about, check or correct:

https://github.com/martymcfly2015/go-soil/issues/1

I hope this work of mine helps somehow.

Thank you for your review!
I had a look and nothing concern me. Like you, I have just started to explore the code.

Short and crisp

• I don't have touched any "test files" for now
• Renaming the client version is a good idea
• Proposed changes in main.go are plausible
• Gas limit might be a typo - I have no idea
• Port 30303 is the listener (TCP) port and a discovery (UDP) port. I changed it back because the replacement was already in use
• Regarding the block rewards
  HardFork1              = big.NewInt(263708) // Hard fork block reward 8 to 4 SOIL
  HardFork2              = big.NewInt(320000) // Hard fork block time to 60 seconds
  HardFork3 = big.NewInt(334000) // Hard fork block time to back to 15 seconds and block reward to 1 SOIL

Very good. When you think your code is ready, let us start a testnet run with a few nodes.
Supercheap new VPS provider: https://www.scaleway.com 3 EUR/month for 2 GB RAM!

CPU mining first?  
GPU miners would have to be reliably connected for some time, otherwise the testnet chain comes to a halt when they exit.

Ok let's make a testnet. I made a "Testnet" branch.

For linux:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/martymcfly2015/go-soil.git
#don't forget!!
git checkout Testnet
make
build/bin/gsoil account new
build/bin/gsoil --rpc --mine console

For windows:
https://github.com/martymcfly2015/go-soil/releases/latest
Please feel free to virus check this file.
The testnet client makes a different home folder (Soiltnet) to not trouble your main-net soil client .
When you have started the client you will see acouple of messages:
This one is important:
enode://8815393e9b662062b63c3bd0f33468ce212ac5f92514deac3a76387595d10e0ecb4f8ff3890cc1f5148e23ec4d0a6959b384d595182cfee7efa200874e608007@[::]:30303
If you like, please post this line to the forum, so we will have some testnet nodes. Please replace [::] with the ip address if the node.
This is my testnode. Copy paste the line to gsoil:

Code:

admin.addPeer("enode://debbd72816d1c6cfbcfae37e842a6906b122b9a2b196419e39b3087383e3ff4500e462dde66d88cc08aac20c777f6e57ecfa2c541e824b7f528a061e97cf378b@192.52.166.129:39340")

Then you should be on the test chain.
To have an ongoing chain and a constant low difficulty please mine but only with your cpu.
Hope this works.
(Sorry Andreas, I accidentally deleted your review on github)
Let me know if you want to have some testnet soil to play with.

EDIT: ports changed to 39340.

Been gone awhile, What is happening..? Community takeover?

[AndreasKrueger]

My 1st mined testnet block was block #1374

with

> web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(eth.coinbase), "soil")
7112
> eth.blockNumber
2262


and
 7112 / (2262-1374 + 1) = 8 SOIL / block

 ... that looks ... perfect.

So I am mining alone now, and the testnet rewards follow the mainchain rules, with:

Regarding the block rewards
HardFork1 = big.NewInt(263708) // Hard fork block reward 8 to 4 SOIL
HardFork2 = big.NewInt(320000) // Hard fork block time to 60 seconds
HardFork3 = big.NewInt(334000) // Hard fork block time to back to 15 seconds and block reward to 1 SOIL   

Let's see when it slows down:

(18:39:58 - 16:59:59) / (2262-1374 + 1) = 6.748 seconds / block

Testnet for new 'homestead' code

Please participate.

I have created tutorials that

• enable everyone with a bit of computer talent
• to admin your own VPS server that is ON 24/7,
• to compile, run, and use a SOIL-1.4.1 testnet node

Start here:
(1) your virtual private server (VPS) at cheap&powerful scaleway --> VPS-scaleway.md
(2) your SOIL testnet node on that VPS -->  gsoiltestnet.md

Please give feedback. Good tutorials ?

Thanks
