[TGC][ANN] Relaunch Tigercoin - Official thread

[TigercoinDev]

A new Tigercoin client has been released.

Because the new client has a new difficulty algorithm, you need to run the latest version to be able to sync with the rest of the network.

So upgrade now to the most recent client, version 1.2.0.2 :


Source:
https://github.com/TigerCoinDev/Tigercoin

Windows binaries:
https://mega.nz/#!J99mUJ6B!2OVZY-Cz8O4MgS7FP7YOP-rQFijjZIfQ0UPcxetcOy4



Why this new client?
- Much more consistent block generation
- Support for the latest openssl versions (the windows binaries use 1.0.1l)
- New, recent chain checkpoints added
- Last but not least: Relaunch and support the new lead developer

Specs
Proof of work with SHA256. The following specifications are implemented:
- Mining started at 128 coins each block
- Block reward is 32 TGC each block right now
- 45 seconds block time
- Difficulty retargets every block since the fork
- mining payout is halved every 3 months (every 172800 blocks)

- 4 confirmations for transaction
- 50 confirmations for minted blocks

- Random bonus blocks are (on average):
- 1 superblock of 512 coins every hour (1/80 chance)

Right, good question. Sorry for not mentioning in this post - entirely my bad!
The original dev has gone silent for a long time by now. Regardless of multiple requests to participate in the coin's future. Recently, even the original Github source was removed. This was the time I decided to take matters in my/our own hands. Luckily I still had a up-to-date copy of the source and opened a new Github repo. You can find all of this back in the original TGC launch thread I linked above, but I should have mentioned it here as well.

[TigercoinDev]

We are past fork time and it seems that some may have their client crashing after a while. I am looking into it. In the meantime, try to keep your client online as much as possible and make sure you use the addnodes mentioned above. If your client crashes, please let me know. Including details such as what platform you are on and any usefull log / console entries. If you don't have this issue, please feel free to share that as well. :-)

Block generation on the new chain proves to be much more reliable and consistent.

As a final note: Please understand nobody is supporting the 1.1 version anymore.

looks like coinwarz having some issues

https://bitnodes.net/node/194-135-91-150/
bitnodes too

U MINE: http://www.umine.co.uk/
iSpace: http://www.ispace.co.uk/coindetails/?coin=tgc

[adaseb]

Does anybody know if the iSpace Mining Pool is on the correct fork? What about Cryptsy ?

[BitcoinNational]

ispace tweet of coinwarz a few days back

so hmmm ... i don't know what's the issue ... Version 1.2.0.0 = 0 connects w/ updated addnodes as per OP ...

Craptsy ... LOL ... anyone have a customer service connection ... or are they just too busy broadcasting top usernames so your halfway to bruteforce-ing into their accounts.

[TimSweat]

why a take over ?

I mined on iSpace and withdrew to Crypsty but its on a different fork. Looking at the wallet status, my deposits should of appeared about 400 blocks ago but didn't.

[TigercoinDev]

iSpace is on the right chain. Cryptsy seems to have ignored requests about updating their wallet. They "forwarded the request to their wallet expert" and that was the only reply I ever got.

@BitcoinNational:
what do you mean about 0 connections on a 1.2.0.0 client? With the addnodes from the OP you should have connections.
Regarding Coin Warz and Bitnodes, their clients have probably crashed due to the mentioned issue. It appears some clients have crashed shortly after the fork. Their clients probably did so too, and they haven't started them again.

The takeover was done because the original dev is gone and eventually even deleted the source from github. You can read all of this in the topic linked in the OP.

[BitcoinNational]

https://bitnodes.net/node/194-135-91-150/
this public (auto) addnodes still offline

my 1.2.0.0 client DOES connect
(using OP addnodes)

[TigercoinDev]

Strictly speaking they are offline again. It looks like they have been online in the meantime. Maybe their wallet VPS can't handle the load of the more frequent blocks or something? For now, blocks can be generated quite fast sometimes. That will settle down soon enough. If they have other daemon issues I'm sure they know where to find me.

[BitcoinNational]

iSpace is okay?
maybe we can get/use their addnode?

[TigercoinDev]

Yes. And their node is in the OP addnodes list.

Sent over a large TGC deposit to Cryptsy early yesterday from iSpace, still not pending or deposited this morning. I opened a support ticket, reply from them was the TxID is not in the blockchain, that I must be on the wrong wallet/blockchain. I asked Marty at iSpace, he said they did not update and sent me the link to this forum. I have replied to Cryptsy and also sent an email to Mullick(their wallet admin) about the update/fork, guess we'll have to wait and see if they update their wallet. I wouldn't hold my breath though, they don't seem to care if/when wallets are updated or how quickly they are done. When an exchange has coins in maintenance for 9+ months, with excuse they are waiting for wallet update, and coins are being moved, mined, traded, deposited and withdrawn on other exchanges without issues, kind of makes me wonder what Cryptsy is doing.

re: "what Cryptsy is doing"

1. never deleting a coin once listed  +++YES COOL
2. shit customer support -small fail okay they are busy
3. let Rex beta test the waters of shitty PnD coins and only list them after massive volume +okay better than most
4. locking up coins FOREVER ----------------this is MTGOX shit ... big FAIL
5. oh and what is Mintsy?

i hate/love cryptseee (depends on the time of day)

my guess is that they use any excuse to turnoff a coin
then they can buy it up after all hope is lost
and relaunch it in 2016/2017
maybe not
but it starting to smell very fishy

That and more. here's an example, what I would call price fixing?
Back in Jan I purchased quite a few 1000's BitShares (PTS) on another exchange at a low buy price, then I sent them to Cryptsy where they were selling/buying for a much higher price. While waiting for the transaction to complete after a few hours, I sent them a support ticket, my PTS were not even pending. Of course I received the generic reply that they were working on the wallet. Ok, so I waited, and have been waiting over 9 months for my coins to be deposited. In the mean time, the price of PTS has dropped to .00000025 or lower on other exchanges, and on Cryptsy it's still over .00023+ and has been for these 9 months. Wallet in maintenance, no one can deposit/withdraw (unless THEY can), so they are just trading the same coins over and over again. In the mean time, my deposit is stuck out there somewhere just waiting for the wallet to come back online, at least, I hope it is and maybe they will take it out of maintenance in my lifetime . Numerous emails to them have had no results, they reply, but with their same generic BS. Even requested my ticket be escalated to someone higher authority, never happening. I'm about over them myself, gradually selling off what I have there and sending my deposits elsewhere, should be done with them in a week or so I hope. Will only use the exchange for coins not trading elsewhere.

[TomInVa57]

Ok, I give up. None of my transactions are showing in the block explorer link posted above, it is the correct one?

[TigercoinDev]

Yes it is the right one, but the block explorer site seems to have an issue at the moment, so is not showing new blocks since their issue started.

[TomInVa57]

FYI: iSpace TigerCoin is in Maintenance and U-Mine pools (all ports) are "dead"
